I agree when you get older a decision has to be made. Play at a level where you play lots of minutes or play at a higher level as a role player. Some people just will never understand playing higher level soccer. When 18-20 guys are on a team, a bunch of guys won't get a lot of minutes. Every team is this way at more competitive levels. If you get a chance you have to grab it and earn more minutes or work harder. Injuries come up and every guy on the team is important and needed no matter what the role. Too many people want to blame somebody else and just quit although I will agree at times coaches make poor choices and have favourites. I understand the guys that decide to play lower but i got a lot more respect for the guys that play and know there role without getting the same credit as more so called important players. backline the reason guys came and played with us is we were winners, two cup finals and two league titles in 4 years. Guys want to be a part of that simple as that. plus we were all friends and still are outside of soccer.
