Look before you talk? If you read before you wrote­ you'd know that you're only allowed to take­ three players that are over 23 to an Olympic games and­ all of the players you're talking about from­ Scotland will be too old to qualify for the main squad ­ in four years time. If we take only three senior squad­ members to represent Britain it'll be players like­ Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Rio­ Ferdinand and Joe Cole that are thought of before­ Darren Fletcher is. They won't get picked;­ that's a fact, take a deep breath and get over it. ­ Some Scotish players might play, in what is a­ meaningless competition constrained by FIFA regulation­ so it doesn't upstage the World Cup, but they are­ at school at the moment and you haven't heard their­ names yet. S

Well it looks he same as usual the english hooligans­ are here they done alot worse in euro 2008 quals than­ scotland did so get of your underachieving behinds and­ see the fiture when scotland pass england in fifa­ rankings.Yes Mcmanus,fletcher,Mcfadden.brown and­ caldwell plus miller and ferguson would make that team­ so lok before you talk.

What about a "one of" tournament between all­ four sides and winner represents UK, then no arguments­ about who is/no in team.

Based on Englands performances and achivements non of­ our players deserve to play in the pub league­ premiership is only good because of forigen imports. so­ lets face the truth British international football­ third world Cr*p. 46 years and could not win an egg cup

It's partly the fans' fault that the players­ get paid so much; if they started refusing to go to­ games or to buy £40 replica shirts by the million then­ the money wouldn't be there to lure the best­ players from club to club. That's how business­ works. The fact is "pro-football" is not­ boring to watch, which is why the Premiership's­ television rights sell for billions of pounds. The­ World Cup is a stage for the best players in the world­ and is a rival to the Olympics as an event, whereas­ Olympic football clearly doesn't showcase the best­ footballers in the world, which compromises the­ "spirit" of the event. The Scottish players­ won't get a look in and, to be fair, the Welsh and­ Northern Irish won't be making up the bulk of the­ team. The Scottish identity won't be compromised­ anymore than the Bedfordshire identity is when Andy­ Johnson isn't picked for England; even if they­ aren't picked it's only being taken seriously­ for five minutes because it's being played at home.­ Olympic football doesn't showcase the best, so the­ golds are worthless.

Keep saying the same thing. No Scot would get into the­ team anyway so what the heck.

Stezv?? kenny miller?? get in the england squad - what­ a joke, he can only score in the scottish premier­ league - just like Samaras. fletcher is ok, but he is­ no where near the level of Stevie G, Lamps, hargreaves­ or barry.
Scotland dont want to join up to this for­ one reason - they know full well that none of their­ players will make it into the team. not even barry­ ferguson, who is supposidly their best player, but was­ an avergae at best premiership player!

Premiership and Scottish Football is not a sport­ anyway...its a circus for rich @#$% and dumbass­ primadonnas....the Olympics are more about the spirit­ of competition, pro-"football" is about­ nothing but money - and it's @#$% to watch.
Olympic­ football teams, if following a spirit of competition­ should be chosen from lower leagues or amateurs....at­ least then we can have an occasional laugh at a fat­ evil defender, or a dimwit who can't hit a barn­ door with a basketball, or a goalie with teflon­ gloves.
GB doesn't deserve an Olympic football team­ - bickering politics have already proved that.

DEATH­ TO FOOTBALL!

forget it, its not gonna happen.[full stop]

Scottish Footie is @#$%, yes not an issue. However­ England qualify for the European championships ..mmmm.­ Vindaloo yah bass!

Based on some recent performances I cant think of many­ English players who deserve their place either. ­ Perhaps we could do a 5-a-side round robin and be done­ with it...

Screw Scotland and their crappy boring­ football...whenever England plays, sales of the other­ teams shirts go through the roof in Scotland. My cousin­ got beaten up in Scotland for wearing an England shirt­ and I seem to remember a disbled man getting dragged of­ his car and getting @#$%ted for the same reason. I hope­ Scottish football dissapears and none of their teams­ make it to a major competition again.

Well, Peter, I'd think Kenny Miller and Darren­ Fletcher would make it :P

If it's only for the­ Olympics comming up then it's nothing much to­ bicker about. What really concerns me who they'd­ pick.

Sigh, another Scot who simply does not understand the­ way things work when it comes to the Olympics. The only­ reason he is saying this now is so it doesn't make­ him look like a pillock for having said it when he was­ involved at the SFA. It's an olympic thing only for­ crying out loud and has nothing to do with any­ competitions outside of that.

and no, I'm not­ English so not biased....though I can't think of a­ single Scottish player who would make it into a GB team­ ;)
