Well, I have an idea. Scotland is not a country, the country is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and within this country Scotland is something like a region. (If anyone doubts this I can provide information to back this up). So imagine the Barclays Premier League decided, no club from the North of England can compete in our league, there would be outcry, but in reality this is no different from saying that Rangers or Celtic cannot somehow be promoted into that league. So, we argue to Fifa (or the European Court of Human Rights) that clubs based in Scotland are being discriminated against for political reasons or some shit like this. Again, imagine Barcelona were no longer allowed to compete in La Liga because they are from Catalonia, it would be completely illegal. Scotland has no less actual independence than Catalonia so this is a good comparison. Anyway, If this argument stands up, then they cannot stop us from somehow gaining entry to their pyramid system...even if it meant that the winners of the SPL would be promoted into the Conference or something. It would probably lead to the dissolution of the SFA...what a shame. Probably also an all British national team...meh...that's another issue, although personally not something I would mind. So there, this is my motherfuckin' crazy ass plan that cannot fail. I do hope Craig Whyte posts here.
