What about a home nations cup then?

We could have a mini north western european league.. England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Northern Ireland.
I rekon that would be quite a good tournament.
Plus if it were billed as a bit of fun, rather than anything serious it would do the players no harm at all.
I'd fancy us to win that I rekon that would be quite a good tournament.

Something happend not to your liking tonight then?
I meant both the management and the team. with the exceptions of Lord DB and the young wrighty. With a KBE to the lanky boy.Something happend not to your liking tonight then?
The rest should retire and give their pensions to deserving folk, the lazy bastards. I didn't see anyone puking with effort on their £100k a week.
s.None of them qualified, none of them deserve to play in an international setup. You cant say 'oh, we'll just have our own tournament then cos were all shit,' england even moreso. Its like Man Utd opting out of the FA Cup and going to play in South America, it shouldnt have been allowed. I also think that the Scots would probably win it. It would be a pretty good tourny but just because none of us qualified doesnt mean we should be allowed to go on a tangent and start our own little 'Eur out 2008'

Exactly my thoughts for next summer (they would be playing friendlies anyway) . Why don't you set up one of those government petition thingys and see if we can drum up some support?I rekon that would be quite a good tournament.

Going ahead now it seems with an England invite, not that England are Celts

how would the games be played?
well it's like this, two lots of blokes called teams, or sides "compete" against each other in the aim of winning the game. they play with what we now know to be called a "football" and try to get the "football" into the opponent's net or goal.doing this more times than the opposition means they win. if they both do this the same number of times we call it a "draw".

The English ARE Celts (they just don't realise it). A recent DNA survey showed that Celtic DNA is still the dominant DNA amongst the English population.
So they could be invited to play in a Celtic championship.

I agree its all a bit crap, but if we're going to have a No Hope Cup, then lets have a few more teams in there - Finland, Denmark, Belgium and Norway are all pretty close by.
Have three groups of three, teams in each group play each other once, with the three group leaders going into the semis. The best second-place team join them. Each group based at one ground, with three other grounds for the semis and the final. Tournament takes place over two weeks, and the finalists play a max of 4 games.
But the poor wee lambs will be too busy counting their hard-earned cash to do anything for people who want to see football.

UEFA might turn a blind eye to a home nations tournament, but I think Platini would explode if your plan came off. Let's do it.Have three groups of three, teams in each group play each other once, with the three group leaders going into the semis. The best second-place team join them. Each group based at one ground, with three other grounds for the semis and the final. Tournament takes place over two weeks, and the finalists play a max of 4 games.
