Re: British Super League

There'd be no NI teams needed to form a `British' league. If it was a UK league, yes.

As has been pointed out, there's no team big enough in NI and I doubt there'd be much enthusiasm for a newly-created club.

Re: ARTICLE: Clarets land 16-year old defender from Northern Ireland

Speaking of former defenders we signed from NI, I keep seeing Curtis Woods up at the Mary Peters Track. He was a top quality 400m runner in his day and can still shift. Much better runner than he was footballer, arguably. Playing for Ballyclare Comrades (what a name), I think.

Not as simple as that, if the player has any say, of course. A club cannot force their player to join Club A, if the player prefers Club B for example?

One of Georgia, Belarus, Kosovo and Macedonia will be at the finals - based on them thrashing a load of minnows in the Nations League.

I want no part of that. Not played in Belfast since 94, which was OK. 93 was toxic.

Winner - be it Ireland, NI, Bosnia or Slovakia - gets two group games in Dublin, which is where England play in the 2nd round if they win their group. That'll be fun too.
