sprotson11 147 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 England is a no go and always has been.They have said no everytime it is even mentioned so that notion should be gone from peoples minds. We will stay in Scotland unless a Euro league is formed which even if it was to happen would take years to plan.Having welsh teams play in England is acceptable because they have played there before there was a professional league in Wales - understandable.What I am not too sure about is why Gretna were allowed to play in an English league and why Berwick still play in a Scottish league, both in separate countries from where they are based.This is what wiki saysThey are one of a handful of teams in the world to play in a national football league other than their own country's, where both countries have their own fully professional competitions. In Wales, the four largest professional clubs all play in the English pyramid—Swansea City in the Premier League, Cardiff City in The Football League, and Wrexham and Newport County in Conference National. However, the Welsh Premier League is mainly a semi-professional competition with only two fully professional sides—one of which, The New Saints, moved its home ground from Wales to England in 2007. They play their football in Oswestry, England yet regularly win the Welsh Premier League and represent Wales in UEFA competitions. The Wellington Phoenix, based in Wellington, are the only New Zealand professional team in the Australian A-League, the recently-founded ASB Premiership is Amateur. A similar situation pertains with Toronto FC, Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps FC who all participate in the American Soccer Pyramid in the United States, while the Canadian Soccer League is semi-professional. Another team that meets these criteria is Derry City of Northern Ireland, which competes in the League of Ireland, the league of the Republic of Ireland. Liechtensteiner club FC Vaduz play in the Swiss Challenge League, while San Marino and FC Andorra play in Italy and Spain respectively.The town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is near to the Scottish border and is closer to Edinburgh than to Newcastle upon Tyne. The old town is on the Scottish side of the traditional border, the River Tweed, and Berwick has formerly been part of Scotland. The time (and expense) involved in travelling to away matches against English opposition would be greater than it is to travel to matches in Scotland. The club also formerly played in the East of Scotland League, which contains other nearby Borders teams, prior to joining the Scottish League; for season 2007–08, the club's reserve side have rejoined this competition.There is also some controversy over Berwick's identity.[9] Entry into the English Football League would result in a round-trip of almost 1,000 miles should Berwick be faced with playing potential opponents Plymouth Argyle, England's southernmost and westernmost league team though they would be more likely to initially compete in one of the regional divisions below the Conference North, as Gretna F.C. did before making the opposite move, from England to Scotland.Berwick have never played in the Scottish top flight, so questions of potential competition in European tournaments have not arisen (Derry City by contrast regularly contends for the Republic of Ireland league title and represents the country in UEFA competitions, while FC Vaduz regularly represent Liechtenstein though play in the Swiss Football League).

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Apart from his ridiculous last statement, where he appears to have mixed us up with ra selik, its actually a fairly sensible piece from Traynor.Whereabouts?; the part where he enjoys the cacophony asking for us to be punished further? The part where he talks about Rangers deserving punishment and distinguishes us, by omission alone, from those who have run the club into the ground and let them off the hook?

Remember the old board of Celtic? kicked-out and chased down London Road, yes, and by hacks as well; ah those where the days. Murray must be laughing up his sleeve at this. Take away his knighthood: what about when he gets his peerage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray's name should be removed from everything to do with Rangers Football Club and he should be hounded by all friends of The Rangers at every turn.A scum-covered rat bag.

Gallows high 208 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Even if traynor unwittingly makes a valid point I never have the patience to listen , he has an ego the size of a house and would eat his own waste product . If you take five minutes to listen to his radio show on Saturday he constantly interrupts his co-presenter and phone in callers , no fucking manners . He's hard to ignore but worth the effort.....
