Hey jamie, thanks for the compliment.
I ain't saying the brits are **** really. That is to say, i don't think we're intrinsically poor, I think it is fair to say it's a numbers game. I was just interested in Rab's view, but he had a bad curry the other night so he's out of action.
Personally, I think we focus too much on the current situ. The real problem is at newbie level and specifically new blood. Just like Man United - we should be looking to our youth policy, and that essentially means concentrating on promoting paintball to the public, ie more people thru the doors on a first time or rec day = better chance of finding the superstars. Personally, i think we're five years off.
As for training myself, mate I first played tourny in '88, I ain't no good to no one anymore.
