Its to do with the olympic bodies, we only have one for Great Britain, where in football theres an FA, SFA, WFA, etc for all the countries, plus we suck as GB so dividing us any lower wouldn't exactly help us Razz

In football terms I thinks its something to do with the number of European places a country gets. Cos if we entered as GB to the world cup etc then only 1 or even 2 european places will be offered to each nation within GB eg England will loose their domestic europen places for finishing 3rd,4th,5th,6th in the Premier league and from winning both the FA and Worthington cups. Although Wales, Scotland, Ireland have less places for europe in their respective top league, they might even loose thier european places alltogether and England keep theirs. if that makes sense. but im not sure its something like that.

havent a fucking clue about Rugby- may be due to history or something

well any other suggestions- answers on a postcard- winners win a kilo of smack from Paul Merson.

HA'WAY THE TOON ON SUNDAY!!! TIME TO SHIT ON THOSE BASTARD FILTHY MACKEMS!! COME ON!!!!!

TAKE THE PISS AT THE STADIUM OF SHITE- ON AND OFF THE FIELD!!!
AN FUCK UP THOSE BASTARD SEABURN CASUALS....

Craig Craig Bellamy la la la la la!!!!!!!!
