ErsatzThistle Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you didn't hate Jack Straw enough, especially after he called for legislation to outlaw a future second referendum on Scottish independence, then have a read of this Guardian article from November 2000. The home secretary, Jack Straw last night sparked a furious reaction in Scotland and in the world of football by suggesting it was now time to field a single united British football team to play in international competitions. "We might starting winning some games," explained Mr Straw, who went on to provoke every paid up member of the Tartan army by adding that a single British team "might do the Scots some good" as well.The home secretary was even more scathing about the Scots ability to play cricket, saying a British team in this sport was less of a viable proposition because the Scots "didn't play cricket - at least not very well".Mr Straw said he would be happy to see the English, Scots and Welsh national football teams carrying on "for domestic purposes", but it was hard to see last night what games they would actually play since the home internationals were abandoned more than 15 years ago.Some commentators thought the change would make little difference in practical terms, apart perhaps from the addition of Ryan Giggs of Wales.When he was asked whether he was serious about a British football team, Mr Straw replied: "I am, but it is just a personal opinion. I am English and have been to loads of England games. I thought it might do the Scots some good as well."One of the greatest goals I have seen was during Euro 96, when Paul Gascoigne scored the finest I have ever seen when he lobbed the ball over Colin Hendrie. It was absolute magic."The home secretary put forward his "personal opinion" at a London conference marking the first anniversary of the establishment of a 1,000 strong network of black and Asian civil servants working in his department.He suggested that a British football team would be one example where combining the diversity of Britain's talent would strengthen the country's performance.But the proposal was flatly rejected by both the English and Scottish football associations. The FA in London moved quickly to quash an idea that could weaken British football's influence in football's international councils.He said: "Each of the British nations has its own national association, always has done, and as such we compete as individual countries at football competitions."We are happy with the status quo, and to be honest I'm not sure how it would go down with the football public, because part of our British football culture is based on the rivalries between various home nations."A spokesman for the Scottish FA was even more dismissive of the idea. "It's a complete non-starter with no grounds of support whatsoever in Scotland. The idea comes up from time to time, usually from someone in England."The row over the home secretary's comments follows a similar dispute when Tony Banks put forward the same idea when he was sports minister after yet another dismal England performance on the field.Mr Straw raised the issue by saying it was time for people to think seriously about the fact that the one field of sport in which the country had been consistently successful was athletics, in which there was an inclusive British team.He said that strong regional loyalties in Germany had not stopped them fielding a single national football team. "Regional loyalty is as strong in Bavaria as it is in parts of the UK and yet they have a German football team." Why do I get the feeling that auld Jack doesn't like us very much ?

Hertsscot Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've got no idea whether they've broken Parliamentary laws or not but shines a light on the Wastemonster mentality. Unionist politicians doing what they do best, looking after themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocky Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 i always quite liked Rifkind.. for a Tory he seemed OK, and I would have had him as Scottish PM, if that's how we voted ... but he prefers the London trough... Interesting when he speaks he always says 'The UK' not Britain.. as a lot of old school Tories do, that's because that's what it is, Britain is only an Island.. The UK is where we live, Before Blair it was always the UK.. but he Britainised the UK... or maybe it was Broon....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Rifkind on one side Donald Dewar on the other, it was hard deciding who I disliked the most at the time. Both a pair of 24 carat sell outs that is for sure. I'd probably tire of booting Rifkind's ball sack before Dewar's but probably only by seconds.

McDange Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The main problem here is that those 2 are so institutionalised that they probably genuinely believe they've done nothing wrong.

If any of us did the equivalent things at our work we'd be fired or jailed, these kunts just move to the next trough. Utterly disgusting maggots. The only cure is to vote SNP and claim the country back from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
