Do We Need More Games For Our Toon Players?

Last updated : 22 June 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

Discussions are going ahead for a revival of the Home Internationals - without England but including the Republic of Ireland.


Initial plans are to hold what has been called a 'Celtic Cup' every two years with a knock-out round followed by title match and play-off.

The first semi-finals are being sketched in for August 2009 with a final and third-place play-off in February 2010.

Scottish Football Association, the Football Association of Wales and the two Irish associations are all understood to be keen on the idea.

No England ... they'll get crowds of 5,000 for the 3rd place play-off, lose money, and have it scrapped after the first year.

What a load of rubbish these organisations come up with. Tell me what benefit is this competition going to have. More games for players who can do without it.
