Jbyrne assumed he was saying the National team should have more EL players. I merely pointed out he never said that.
A well supported league would in turn lead to stronger domestic clubs. Stronger domestic clubs may be able to hold on to / develop talent. This would have a knock on effect on the amount of players available to the national team. So as an IRELAND FAN I think people should support the domestic game as much as they can. And not knock it continuously.
Your interpretation of my post is 100% accurate Bill. I can only assume jbyrne didn't read it as carefully as you did:p. And to jbyrne, I don't think I said Jason Byrne or George O'Callaghan, or any EL player, was good enough for the Irish team, did I ? (in fact I've posted the exact opposite in a discussion on the EL forum) Finally, to Neil, who said I was on the wrong forum - I try not to post too much on the Ireland section here (damn, just when I thought I was out, they drag me back in:D) I suppose I do have a passing interest, but I just don't consider myself a supporter of the Irish team anymore.Quote:

He has already explained his position. Clearly.
