DI Bruce Robertson Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It would be glorious if UEFA told England & Wales to f**k off & let Scotland & NI in, taking the other nations ranking points!Maybe get a fund going to make this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is entirely impossible. The original question was exceptionally stupid. As is your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Maybe UEFA will declare war on the EU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It is entirely impossible. The original question was exceptionally stupid. As is your post. I clearly said it's rather unlikely.However it's not 'entirely impossible'. Look at the history of the Olympics if you need examples of nations putting pressure on governing bodies to boycott events.I would say that you are entirely stupid to think in today's political environment that anything is impossible.

There have always been loads of countries that participate in UEFA tournaments that aren't EU members. To suggest a potential connection is utterly absurd.

HibeeJibee Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 This is preposterous. There are 55 UEFA members but only 28 EU member states (equivalent to 32 UEFA members counting the Home Nations + Gibraltar but not the Faroes) - half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know we are only discussing a scenario which we all agree is very highly unlikely? A point I make in every post here. However whilst I accept your point that there are countries outside the EU, imagine a scenario that Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Holland etc all threatened to boycott the tournament on the demands of their respective governments..... You know, I am getting a bit concerned that I am starting to sound like our Chairman....think I will call it quits here. [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I forgot about Israel, though clearly it's more for safety reasons why they don't play in the Asian qualifiers/tournaments. There's also the likes of Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, which as far as I am aware are part of Asia not Europe (at least according to Sporcle), but are all in UEFA. Not sure what the reasoning is there exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you thinking asking questions is the path to stupidity then I would suggest that you ask a lot more, as your attitude appears to be one of a person who doesn't know very much, and the little you do know, you jump up and down in hysterics whenever you get the chance to display your knowledge.
