Have to agree. What possible benefit can there be in high-end pros playing a part-time pub team? ATK-Irdning are utterly unknown. Even in Austria. They play in the Oberliga-Nord. That's the equivalent of the amateur-league you still do on Wednesday nights even tho' you're 35 years old and deffo will never make it now.
But if Everton, our Everton, played your lads...they'd win 20-odd to nil. Naturally. But what would be the point?
It's a horrible sign of things to come if the club thought getting Silva a club record in this way to kickstart his era was a good idea. We might have pros in the team but we've got pub-amateurs running the club.
