Cross Border Cups

[JoeyVimsantePoet]

How about cross border cups for Scottish football. I say a good way for Scottish football to improve is to have cross border trophies on top of domestic and European football.

 

There are an entire host of ideas that could happen.

Change the Scottish Premiership to a 16 team 30 game league. Then have extra cross border cups. 

 

Ideas could include a North Atlantic League Cup. With the top 4 to 6 SPFL clubs playing a group stage trophy with teams from Europe, or Africa, or North America, or Saudi Arabia.

 

The Scottish allow Welsh and Northern Irish sides in the Scottish Challenge Cup.

 

The Scottish and Welsh Rugby clubs travel to places like South Africa. And UEFA soccer has seen Scottish sides travel to Central Asia. So football clubs could travel 5 or 6 times a year to the USA, or Africa.

 

Other ideas could include having all Scottish Premiership sides not in Europe, plus selected Welsh Cymru Premier sides, and perhaps North Western French sides in the Football League Trophy.

Perhaps all Scottish Championsip sides, Welsh Cymru Premier sides, and some North Western French sides in the non-league FA Trophy

 

Or Celtic Nations Club Cup.

I do not support merging the British leagues, as people would think Scotland was part of England. And all the Scottish trophies in history would be relegated to the status of lower tier trophies. While all the English trophies would be seen as forerunners of the British

If we had a British League a club like Dundee could make 20 trips year of up to 500 miles. That would be too tough. It has to be at a manageable number of times.

But seriously, there's no desire for this, no passion. The English don't give a fuck.

The associations of England and Scotland don't have a relationship, they don't have meetings.

I'm for a 16-team Premiership. It should be played out-with winter, that's so fucking obvious, the storms are mental now. 

The world football calendar is mental now. That will come PAINFULLY INTO FOCUS over the next two years.

Fucking 10 matches per team in the Champions League in tandem with Nations League, Club World Cup next summer in USA, World Cup qualifiers in September, October, November 2025 then INTENSE playoffs in March! Then a 104 match World Cup in high altitude Mexico, humid and arid USA, Canada! Hahaha! Players will be deid. Fans, too.
