Load of shite.

What was the SFA's beef with haivng players in the squad all about? Read a few forums with regards to Rhodes being picked and folk were saying if he played they would boo him (and any other players who played) next time he played for Scotland

Because apparently Scotland, Wales, and NI would disappear and we'd all be happy to be GB forever instead.

Ridiculous.

Really?

We've all been fine as seperate nations for long enough, not sure why we'd need to combine now. Plus, would that even work with regards to UEFA & FIFA? I wouldn't have though that countires could just combine teams as/when they wanted to?!?

Maybe not half of them bit of a generalisation. But I definitely don't know all of them.

Really? You havent heard of Daniel Sturridge, Joe Allen, Stephan Caulker Craig Bellamy, Micah Richards, Danny Rose, Scott Sinclair, James Tomkins, Tom Cleverley, Aaron Ramsey, Ryan Giggs, Ryan Bertrand. Thats 12 of the squad just there, I've made it easy by keeping it all premiership players too

I could even name you all their positions and i dont even keep a massive track of the premier league

In fairness, it wasn't that we'd be happy with it, it's that Fifa and UEFA already want us to form up together and would see this as the opportunity to make it happen, they obviously want to say seperate as 99% of them wouldn't make a joint team

Im surprised fans dont keep a closer track of their own league. I knew the conference inside out after 8 years in there. Utd and Arsenal have and will be in the PL for many many many years, you'd imagine they'd keep a track of what their opponents are doing.

Shocked (yet pleased) that Kieran Gibbs wasnt called up

Good that Rambo has been called up, might give him a kick up the arse

The SFA is a self preserving, biased, backwards piece of shit association full of dinosaurs.

Hence the reason the 2nd biggest club in the country was allowed to die on its doorstep whilst it did fuck all to stop the cheating or the fallout from it.

nah he wont go, even on loan imo. i think a loan might be an idea, but would put him back too much. also we dont have enough layers unless someone else joins in his place (unlikely)

Which ones? I can forgive you Jason Steele (middlesboro keeper) and maybe Butland (but after all the controversy of him being a backup england keeper despite playing for Cheltenham on loan i thought most would recognise him) but the rest are all regular premier league players, aside from Jack Cork who was a highly rated youngster at Chelsea, now at Southampton.
