rfcShaun 10 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Fuck right off - thats me being nice about this.No chance. It is very clear that even though they are pretty pish when they play that Enlgand have much much much better players than any country in the UK so it would be a full England team with McGregor in goals. If you want that then go support England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandfather_Huck 5 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It won't happen because England have very little to gain from it, and all the other countries have everything to lose. Gareth Bale would probably start on the left wing, and McGregor and Davis would probably make the bench. The rest would be entirely English Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dado1 23 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I feel alienated from international football. I might be Scottish, but the Scottish national team in no way represents me. Maybe in years gone by, but in recent years I strongly feel it's been hijacked by the nationalist movement and that alone has pushed me away, and I dare say I'm not alone there.It's strange, whilst feeling no affinity to Scotland, I still feel the rivalry with England.Rangers are the only team I truely feel an affection for.exactly the way i feel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurto 9 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 A team of British players in Team UK?What would be 'pointless' about that?It would in essence be an English team, which might carry resentment from Scots, Welsh etc.In old Yugoslavia they had somewhat of a silent quota, where most of the republics were represented...of course quality was the primary factor, but not the only one.

rfcShaun 10 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 there would be a quota of how many players from each country will be compulsory for making up the team.If that did happen I wouldn't be totally against it but it would seriously weaken Englands team hence why it wont happen. I would be more than happy to team up with Wales and NI though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Ghoul 5,816 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 anyone who says they would like this are talking out their arse. its one thing to not follow scotland, but this is no where near a suitable alternative.i dont follow scotland, for several reasons, but joining ranks with england is a stupid idea, almost like giving in to them.anyone who thinks this is a good idea because they fly a union jack on a matchday at ibrox is crazy.its one thing to support the union for the benifit of the country (which i do) but when it comes to football its a whole other issue.

ClintonGrey 365 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Why would England even want to do this?The only position where we didn't really have someone as good as the other home nations was in the keeper position, and to an extent McGregor is still better than Hart but that will probably change.Can't really see the benefit from an English perspective.
