And having a foreign player cap wouldn't stop them doing that. But, in my opinion, our priority should be on UK based players and giving them an opportunity to play competitively. If there are spaces being taken up by foreign players, then they're being denied that opportunity.CircleBoy wrote:No...FM might be based in the UK but I wouldnt say its for the UK players alone. We want players all over the world coming here and playing hax

That's not the case though. Plenty of foreign players host rooms (Vargo does it all the time). Attax got us involved with your e-sports(whose TS server we use) and with the national circuit. Girgensons pointed out the IHL to us.
The foreign players contribute just as much as your rank and file UK player.

How ignorant can you get? What about Cheese, Cath, OPC, Socrates, Cookies, Jonny, Deer, Sukh, Banks, Rachel, Shock, Circleboy..

Just leave no cap, but if you win with an all UK team then happy days.

I don't mind this idea when we are playing in the CL, IHL and etc. As we'd want British players to represent Britain in those international elite leagues. But with in our own league bringing a rule of capping on foreign players is absurd. The problem isn't the foreign players, its like what Mad says there aren't many british players who spend time haxin and to improve themselves. That's their problem and their problem only. Bringing foreign players in who are friendly and just want to hax there is no problem with it at all

I know that's important promote the Haxball among the British people, but more important is promote it among the women: they are less so they are more discriminated here.
With Rachel here as only one woman, the ratio man/woman is 387:1, why don't we force all the teams have 3 women in their teams?
So please, more sex and less "astounding" discussions.
PS. Of course I'm against of any kind of limits, I don't feel here as a foreigner because of most of you, that's why I prefer to play in UK before than in Spain. Please don't throw to the bin that what make you the best.

Mad wasn't saying that at all. He wasn't taking any side. He was looking at the argument from a rounded perspective.
In the bit I bolded, he was saying it's easier for captains to sign established foreign players rather than take the time to train up british players who have the potential to be as good as the aforementioned foreign players.
Look, I don't mind a debate, but when you use a point that wasn't even supporting your argument, you're just being stupid.

Another problem is that UK players don't play as much I think and we don't really have many stand out players, it's players that play lots that have improved and are now some of our best, saying that though there is plenty of UK players with potential just lack of time and people have no interest in training them over a period of time.

activity doesn't create chemistery so you'd loose eitherwayMick wrote:I am with mad (no bumlick)
you'd be foolish to sign a stand out amazing foreign player but if they're not active you're screwed, but obviously if they're active then go for it. If i was cap, i'd rather have a decent ative english player than an amazing foreigner cos like mad said, it's all about the chemisty + understanding in 4s
