None are insurmountable, but all are things we wouldn't have needed to worry about previously. At the risk of repeating myself, surely Brexit is supposed to make things better/cheaper/easier? At the moment all you seem to be bringing to the table is "yeah that negative thing isn't "that" negative (or at least it doesn't affect me, so y'know)"

To be fair, you are right I think this is one of the lesser worries, however let us not dismiss it that quickly.

There have been many many stories and articles about young players falling through the cracks of the British footballing pyramid. European clubs have been, over the past few years, looking hat British youth players. This has basically put a block on one avenue for young players not to fall out of the system and put their future in jeopardy.

Comments like the above are just childish responses in view of the problems that Brexit is causing. If you want to discuss it, please tell us why making it much harder for young footballers to open up their options by playing in Europe is a good thing, or any of the other blockers we are seeing caused by Brexit are good things?

But I suspect many Brexiters actually hate the Scots so see this as a win.

Lack of freedom is simply the price you pay for freedom.

Leaving was always going to make things more difficult with dealing with the EU, but makes dealing with the rest of the world easier because there aren’t another 27 countries saying yes or no. That’s where we are. But we will eventually get over the EU difficulties, not all but a lot, meanwhile our trade opportunities are only just beginning…

meanwhile our trade opportunities are only just beginning…

Like allowing 000's of tons of inferior, cheaper, and with poorer animal regulations meat from Australia in to undercut our own farmers superior produce?

Bring it on.

How long, would you say, is acceptable for things to be worse overall in terms of trade deals?

That's just piffle though isn't it? Let's take the Scottish example that you scoffed at earlier. Ok, so they can't trade in players to/from Europe so easily now, but to prove your point it would need to be easier to trade with players from, say, South America or Africa, but that isn't the case. All that's happened is that trade with Europe is now as difficult as it always has been with South America or Africa, and you're trying to pass that off as a win.
