Asian players, why aren't there more of them ?

[bhaexpress]

I notice yet again that we had an asian oficial. Seems that we are getting more and more of them which would start to be in proportion of the Asians in the U.K.

I just wonder though why there are so few professional footballers. It could be argued that the traditional sports of the Asian community are cricket and Hockey but as the vast majority of asians are fully intergrated to western society and attitude it's currious as to why we see a mere handful of players.

Now any person of Asian decent of an age to play proffesional football is likely to have been born and bred in the UK and educated accordingly. Whilst we don't have that many asians here in other places they are a far from small minority and sometimes the majority.

Just wonder if anybody has any idea why so few are playing.

Because they prefer driving round the streets with that f*cking bangla music blaring out deafening me

 

[magoo]

combination of factors probably.

yes it's not their main sporting interest.
therefore not many have joined clubs from a young age as yet.
therefore we're not seeing them come up through the ranks yet.
i would expect that now more and more asians are being born in uk they'll take to football like every other kid and you'll start seeing more and more asian players in the near future.

but maybe thats a load of crap

Then of course most of them are learning how to blow this country up or busy going off to Afghanistan to fight us

Thought the Asian linesman yesterday was crap. He missed two clear cut offside decisions yesterday even though they would have been AGAINST us. He also GAVE Iwelumo offside in the 2nd half even though he was clearly in his own half when the ball was played. He would have been clear through if that decision had not been given.
Both McGee and Bobby Gould were screaming at him because of all the suspect decisions he was making. If all the Asians playing football are all as bad then maybe that's why they dont get a game.

You can't play football and run corner shops 7 days a week

You can't play football and run corner shops 7 days a week

And you cant head a ball with a turban on either.

Or open a shop every time you get a corner

To many currys is not acceptable for players diets

 

[Zeitgeist]

Maybe the question has been answered by Ernest and Berkshire's response?.......

 

[berkshire seagull]

case rested

 

[Gullet]

And you could'nt have ladies football, no bare legs allowed

 

[berkshire seagull]

Also half-time breaks would need to be exstended due to preying etc.

 

[Gullet]

And the strips would all clash, only black or white allowed...............(this thread could run and run)

 

[bhaexpress]

Yes but once the PC brigade read it you'll get a bit of abuse ....

 

[berkshire seagull]

I mean't praying
The referee would be devastated with that amont of bad breath on the pitch.

Whats new

Baichung Bhutia was the first Asian player to score in the football league.

Other than him and Zeshan Rehman I cannot think of any other Asian players.
