Arbroath1320 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 "Team GB will be England-led" - Gary Neville. Do these people understand that Great Britain was supposedly created in 1707 as a voluntary union of equal nations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRobRoy Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The English FA are TeamGeeBee's Olympic representatives. TeamGeeBee qualify per how THE MIGHTY LIONESSES!!! do in the World cup. I don't give a monkey's about TeamGeeBee and I hope it''s not just England-led but made up of only England players - and that they nosedive in the group stages. The SFA are culpable for not objecting. But any Scotland women who agree to be in TeamGeeBee should be banned from representing Scotland for life.

RobRoy69 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Aye..always one sided...not suprising considering how much has been spent by the English FA trying to buy the Womens World Cup, perhaps the British Olympic Management might consider a bit more for the development of our lassies. Phil Nevilles words show how desperate they are to win something, never mind the spirit of Olympics being all embrassing. I think Scotland, Ireland & Wales should tell them to fuck off or demand a neutral manager, Berti Vogts might take it! Digressing...England Cricket Team...Irish Captain, Many top former players Scots & god knows how many other nations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Very poor we refuse to be a part of Team GB - highlights further our hatred and inferior complex towards our neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - the opposition is to do with the risk to our independence as a footballing nation. If the SFA allows our women to play at Olympic football for Team GB, then you risk allowing a Team GB U23s team for the men's tournament. Where's the line? Once you have a GB football team in one competition, you open the door for it in all competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want Scottish players representing Team GB in football but come on can’t believe people think it would put our footballing independence at risk ffs. Fifa is accepting fake/non recognised countries like The Faroes, Kosovo and Gibralter into competition. You can’t ban Scotland/NI/Wales yet allow the Faroe Islands to compete haha.

tartanmartin Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Yes you can as the Faroe Islands is an independent country. FIFA representatives have previously warmed to a GB Team. The most appealing part is that it would shrink the GB seats on IFAB from 4 to 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I dont want our players playing for GB because I dont support anything GB related.

Much the same however best that people admit that instead of pretending its because they fear for our eligibility to play International football a couple years after a state like Gibralter has been given its Fifa membership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 It'll be England with a token 1 or 2 Welsh/Norn Irish and maybe 3/4 Scots. Be interesting to see if any Scots would turn down the call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if any Scots would turn down the call? Of course they wouldn't. The Olympic women's football is on a par with the world cup ( or very nearly ) . The men's tournament is a farce and the equivalent of the Irn Bru cup for Internationals. Got to say, I had no qualms about England winning this until I saw who was coaching them. Then I'm afraid the ABE syndrome kicked in. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if any Scots would turn down the call? I can’t recall any uproar whenever Sir Andy Murray represents Britain yet claims he’s a passionate Scot. The phrase “running with the hares and hunting with the hounds” has never been more appropriate Always happy to except the queens shilling that cunt At least Chris Hoy doesn’t hide the fact he’s a unionist Edited July 7, 2019 by UpTheSlope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
