Im manufacturing mess-rooms, I've heard folks say similar to you, IB - if you want to see a good game of football, go and watch the local-juniors; but, not that long ago, those kids had much more hope of one day playing for their nearest professional club, for a living - now they see those posts (if you'll pardon the pun!) filled, almost wall-to-wall, with foreigners, and they read flyers saying that, if they complain, they'll be shown "the red card" for racism. A ridiculous state of affairs, in my opinion, that is NOT good for our national team, either.
