calscot 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If we really wanted to we could take it to the European court and the House of Lords with the risk of smashing the special case of the home nations. How can UEFA stop us from competing in our own country? I don't really care much about the Scotland team now; it's severely tainted by the current SFA. The way things have gone in football with TV money, our national game is moribund with no way back. It's time to join them when you have no hope of beating them. Scottish football needs a British league with half our teams starting a regional league. It's all very well protecting our identity - but it will be that of a minnow swimming alongside the great white shark of English football. It's rare we benefit as part of the union, it's time to take advantage of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 PS Even a joint national team could get a strong backing eventually - just look at Europe in the Rider Cup. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This could be the biggest dose of Karma ever. We were confined to the grubber and took it with dignity but now that we are there the only way is up. If we've to start at the bottom and work our way up, and can do it in England then it's an opportunity that we may never get again. At least your through the door into the land of mega bucks and TV deals. Don't forget we would very quickly be in the cup competitions, Wembley play offs etc. The mhanks would never accept the route open to us and they will never be invited at an upper level. They would be in a blind panic at would the future would hold. They get their CL money and we are on the ladder to mega TV deals at some stage, and able to attract real quality as we progress. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchorman 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 they would go as well they would have to and could finance it a number of ways. debt, share issues, player sales. Don't be so sure. After all the gloating about us having to start at the bottom? They would have to accept all of a sudden being on a level playing field with us. That is what would be so funny, as they would be in a complete quandry. They would not accept that scenario lying down. At least their fans wouldn't. But who gives a shit? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
