Bearosaurus 41 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 After the result of the vote, does anyone believe that it would give an endorsement to a UK National side and a British League that, once and for all, would make the SFA and their cronies defunct?Thoughts...................

devref 201 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 cant see the epl letting that happen. teams from Scotland wales Ireland would offer no real improvement to their league. granted us and that other lot would be a big draw for them but the clubs from wales outside Swansea and Cardiff would offer nothing and I cant see any club in Ireland being able to compete at that level. so cant see a British league ever happening. sponsors wouldalso probably see it as diluting the product so would look to cut the money they pump in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Educator 1,572 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 There is no chance of this until the financial bubble bursts down south. The fact is while Scots pay Sky/BT large fees to watch the EPL our own leagues will decline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearosaurus 41 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 The uk is not one country tho' it's 4 - so noIt seems to work for Athletes though who compete under the banner of 'Great Britain and Northern Ireland' although, in my mind, it should simply be named 'Team UK' instead of Northern Ireland been wrongly portrayed as an add-on.

NixonRFC 1,305 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 No chance, We're a fucking irrelevence up here now, no-one down there gives a fuck and no-one ever will again, us and them for that matter have been marginalised, both our crowds other than the die hards dont bother their arse anymore, give it another 10 years and well be averaging about 20k each. Dont be fooled into thinking chosing the Union over the separests will do us any favours other than retaining or British IdentityScotland is a fucking dead end hole Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
