"The FA of Wales says its position is closer to that of Scotland, who fear a British team could lose the "national identity" of the home nations."

I don't think that's what Scotland is worried about...

B

Ryan Giggs plus 10 other English players and 5 English subs. Isn't that the standard answer?

How old will Giggsy be in 2012?

Probably younger than Peter Beagrie is now, mind you.

B

Good point.

In that case it's 11 English players on the pitch, with Ryan Giggs and four other Englishmen on the bench

And Craig Bellamy buried up to his neck in the trough of the toilet.

That's a regular Saturday night for him, isn't it?

B

Depends if Shearer's knocked his block off or not...

Again, that's a regular Saturday night for him, isn't it?

B

Hey that gives the Scots anouther 7 years to find a decent player and on the evidence of cycles Northern Ireland shuold have found the next best thing since best by then. Whether he will suffering foot injuries (a la Whiteside) or allegedly linked to a sex case (Gillespie) or the victim of sectarian abuse from his own country men (Lennon) remains to be seen.
