Olympics 2012: No Scotland or N Ireland players in football squad

[peteblue]

Quite. There's no obligation for the English team to be made up of players from every county in the country so why should a GB team be any different? I mean I suspect the next Lions team will consist mainly of Welsh and Irish players as they're the best at the time.

This sums up the whole thread...

Scotland whinging again.

Jeez, get a new one.

 

[Roztitute]

Literally pissing myself here.

Not that it was funny, more that it was so sh*t, my kidneys exploded.

you're fuming

 

[peteblue]

you're fuming

So would you be if your country couldn't produce even one footballer for the GB squad.....

 

[EFCNIK]

Ooo look I'm Scotland everyone's out to get me it must be a conzpirazee!

Kopites of The United Kingdom.

MoDZ?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Evertonized]

Not that many Irish or Scottish players would make a Premier League top 11, yet alone a Team GB 11.

I'm going to watch 2 games at Old Trafford & The Millennium Stadium, can't wait! It's a shame no Everton players are competing though.

So it's actually not a team GB at all then?

Yes it is.

All the players who have been picked are British.

It is a British team.

 

[Allezfan]

Yes it is.

All the players who have been picked are British.

It is a British team.

Plus Northern Ireland isn't in GB so it's actually more of a team great britain then it would be otherwise.
