home nations tourny

[afc1903]

if none of the home nations qualify next summer, then would be a great way to fill the summer no?

[manc_don]

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Has been floated before (not if no-one qualifies mind) and would be happy for something as long as the Oirish weren't invited due to their lack of home nation status.

[gypsymuffin]

I think it would be a great idea, but to be honest i cant see it happening.

[Bobby Connor]

Great idea in my opinion.

 

An even better idea if we qualify and ENG don't. :thumbs:

[vanderark14]

great idea IMO.

[macca18]

Good idea but FA might be a bit wary of any violence in some matches?

[Nellie The Don]

The English would never agree to it, given that in their current form they would likely get gubbed, and not be able to lord it over us so-called 'wee teams'.

your probably right

[ninja-lewis]

I believe you're not allowed to arrange fixtures during the World Cup (and probably the Euro Championship too) if you're not taking part as FIFA/UEFA don't want folk and their money to go elsewhere.

[KennyS]

It'd be rubbish, I'd rather use my away trips to go to countries that actually play decent footy and are remotely interesting.

[hebrewdon]

I'd rather just watch the Euro Championship than boring Wales and Northern Ireland

[Guest redbrigade]

*bump*

 

[Nespa]

I want a ticket!

[Tord31]

think we'll need to settle for scotland-eire-n.ire-wales

 

england will be in a huff. I wouldnt be suprised if they refuse to play any of the euro 2008 teams pre tournament as a warm up match for the opposition

[E-P-K]

England could do with the ticket sales to buy a new pitch.

The English FA may refuse the home nations tournament 1. Because they are in a huff as you say and 2. Because they'd be scared sh*tless of getting a thrashing in a couple of the games...

 

But i think the English supporters would definitely like to have it and lets face it, the English FA is in no position to try and piss off their fans any more than they currently are!

 

They'll play.

[DandyWarhol]

Terrible idea - they may as well call it the 'loser cup'! Would much rather watch Euro 2008.

Aye, but they'll make more money if they plant tatties in it at the moment.

[vanderark14]

Scotland, Ireland, N.Ireland and Wales shouldnt waste their time with those twats

[Guest redbrigade]

Celtic Cup definitely going ahead.

[minijc]

talksport are trying to get a tourny set up and plan to have talks with the FA about making it go ahead.

[paulkaneatemyhamster]

England were asked, but said no - before they got horsed out

 

maybe if they crawled on bended knee we might let them in

 

i note Englands next match is away to France - even the guffs must be able to get draw there

[woods stays nicholas score]

hope the guffys agree to it.

 

the new manager might think its a good idea give them some competitive games

 

plus a trip to wembly would be awesome

They wouldn't have agreed to it before they failed to qualify....would have been seen to be very defeatest.

[baldrick_sheep]

***k england,

 

They moan cause no-one else wants to be part of the UK olympic team, but when this chance arrises for a game they dont want to have anything to do with us.

 

In the UK they are in the minority, as the IFA, WFA and SFA all seem to agree.

That's a very good point. They should join us for a home international tournament, it'll recoup some of the money that they will have lost out on by not qualifying, and it will be a great chance to prove for once and for all who are the best football team in the UK.

 

Besides, they haven't got anything better to do. Their WAGs could go shopping in Glasgow, I hear they have some nice shops there.
