There is a cause out there worth fighting for! Moves are afoot to enter a Great Britain Football Team into the next Olympics! How can this be? Since the game began, we invented it, there have been four different Associations, Engerlund, Wales, Northern Ireland, and of course Scotland. The other footballing nations have constantly called this into question, and some have moved to allow only one team to represent the UK.
We, the Celtic nations, (not Engerlund), have vigorously opposed this with success. Now Lord Coe, who said "F*** Them!" when Scotland Wales and Ireland refused to give in to having a UK team at the Olympics, wants to just go ahead anyway. It's the thin end of the wedge and I'm surprised and more than a little upset that Gordon Brown seems to be supporting him!
We all know what Team GB means. A squad of 19 English players with a token Scot, and maybe someone from Wales and Ireland so we don't get too upset.
The Scottish Footballing Nation have a history and a pride that will not be taken from us. We will fight to the end to save us from being swallowed up by smarmy Big Brother down south.
"Freedom!"
What's the point of football at the olympics anyway , there could never be the same atmosphere as at a proper match , and I doubt if any of the top professional players would want to be there .
