Lord Haw haw Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Craig Gordon yesterday became the first player within the Scotland set-up to break rank and voice his support for a British football team at the 2012 Olympic Games. Gordon, the Scotland and Sunderland No.1, has revealed that he has no such problems about backing a bid. "I don't see any reason why not," he admitted. http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/headlines...1717679.0.0.php Told you so .............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Because he's the only Scotland player that would start in the first eleven if 'team GB' ever got going. It's still a no thank you for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Haw haw Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 A very talented goalkeeper we have in Craig and a man not scared to say hes proud to be British. Rule Britannia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigoTON Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 nowhere in the article does Craig say he is proud to be British. what Craig says: There are difficulties with the different football associations in Britain, but I don't see any reason why that can't be overcome. The team would be dominated by English players, but there would be a few others in there. It would be a good team." What you see is merely ONE player expressing his views that it may not be such a bad idea however you seem to be blowing out of proportion and using it as an excuse for you to get your fantasy of a "happy clappy" union "I’m a simple man. I like pretty, dark-haired women, and breakfast food." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozehound Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Craig Gordon can get tae f*** then. If he genuinely supports a Team GB then, in my eyes, he's a bigger turncoat than Aiden McGeady. An internet fud is still a fud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice overreaction there. I reckon he's keeping things happy happy while he's down in England making his money. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an overreaction, just my thoughts on the matter. If he wants to play for "Team GB" then he can have his Scotland caps posted to him down in Sunderland because he shouldn't get another. An internet fud is still a fud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 It is possible to be proud of being Scottish and British too. I don't like this anti-British Olympic football team movement. Could deny a lot of players a once in a lifetime opportunity to win a gold medal and play in a massive sporting event. I am for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex manning Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Who exactly wants this british team anyway? seriously? The English dont need us, and the welsh and irish would have less players in the squad than us for f@ck sake. I couldn't get behind a British team at all, even though i think patriotism is a bit, well, silly. Your mam and dad just f@cked here. I want a pretentious signature too.

stuart Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 But there would be if there wasn't a British one... DUH Yeah, but right now they would just go on as normal and select players from England, Wales and Northern Ireland as part of a British team meaning the Scots would just be left watching on the telly, they won't suddenly create a Scottish O;ympic team simply because the SFA won't allow Scottish players to play as part of a British team. Or am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
