If they did it there would be arguements on who will be the home team. I could see the games being quite friendly when Ireland, Scotland and Wales all play each other but the problems could be when Republic Ireland V Northen Ireland and England V everyone as they have the biggest hooligan eliment.

I think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty. Robbie Savage 8/11/06

Lets be honest, England wouldnt want that because you know Scotland would destroy your team of wannabesComment

Hehe...we all are.Originally posted by Bob View PostKeep laughing... we are.
One thing that seems to be apparent is that most scotland fans are devestated at their failure to qualify, whilst most english i've spoken to have found their plight funny.Comment

Well i'm more than a bit 'blah' about international football. I watch it out of interest rather than support.Comment

I'd rather see the English lads have the summer off and come back refreshed instead of wasting their time playing four pointless friendlies.Twin boys - now arriving late August 2008.
Its gonna be Fernando and Gerrard if I get my way!

That would be embarassing, playing against garbage like wales, rep of ireland, whilst the cream of europe are playing in Euro 2008. imagine what you would rather do as an england player. A. playing in the nonsensical home nations. or B. Relax on a beach somewhere and come back refreshed for the new campaign.Comment

The FA have always been against this idea since whenever it was they walked away from the Home Internationals. Presumably they now need the money to pay for the Wembley cost overrun..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

I don't think so, I mean how embarrassing, how arrogant.Originally posted by disco View PostThat would be fantastic!

None of us could make it to the proper championships so lets make our own up. FFS. We could call it the U-HOOFA Cup I suppose.
We all need to strip it back and start all over again and rushing into a waste of time cup competition is going to be good for nobody.

It might be embarrassing but I'm not convinced that it is arrogant. Particularly for England it would be a very useful exercise in terms of trying to get a new coach to impose his pattern of play in competitive games while also making money. Assuming of course we are looking at getting a coach before the end of the euros.Originally posted by FatTony View Post"The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

I'm thinking arrogant on the basis that we haven't qualified so lets make our own competition up.Originally posted by dww View Post
I just don't think its a good idea. They'd be a policing nightmare too and the last thing I'd want is for Carra or Gerrard to be out injured for the sake of a made up cup.
Thats the problem with a home nations cup. Each game would be like a derby game and the potential for inury would be pretty high. You'd also have red cards and bans to deal with. You're also bound to get some crowd trouble and how would this help our chances of getting a world cup?
Too many negatives for me.
