2012 Olympics GB football team...

[Lumps]

It's an under 23 tournament. Who cares?
Who are the current holders? No idea.
Who holds the current under 21 world cup? Not a clue.
Who topped last years Premier Youth Alliance league? Again clueless. Winners of last years youth FA cup? Nope still don't know.

These tournaments have their place in developing players but no one really gives a toss about the results do they.

And the Olympics in general..........Meeeh! Bunch of lycra clad steriod abusers on the one hand and anorak wearing minority sport participants on the other. I ask you who really gives a shit about small bore rifle shooting or dinghy sailing apart from the people involved and their families.

Me.

Argentina.

Who holds the current under 21 world cup? Not a clue.

There isn't one. It's U-20, and Argentina hold that as well.

Who topped last years Premier Youth Alliance league? Again clueless.

Again, there isn't one. It's the FA Premier Academy League and Leicester are the current champs.

Winners of last years youth FA cup? Nope still don't know.

Liverpool.

Jesus Sam.

Do you get out much?

[Samdy Gray]

Jesus Sam.

Not really, no.

[Reg Smeeton]

Fair play Sam.
   
   Sport, sport masculine sport.
    Equips a young man for society.
     Yes, sport turns out a jolly good sort.
    It’s an odd boy that doesn’t like sport…

Bloody hell Sam.

The only youngster football I like to watch is the Girls Under 15s.

Heard something with Matthew Pincent on 5live about this last night, aparantly NI and England are up for it, the jocks and taffs are not. Sepp Blatter has been saying he see's it as a one off and wont affect anything.

As for the african pissed off obout our influence within the game, we invented it and have the most popular domestic league in the world - that makes England (& the rest of the UK) worthy of greater infulence that namibia for example.

I actually think it would be good to get a GB team to support,m even if it was a one off for 2012. The nest question would be how do you select the squad?  Ability, an equal spilt, or pro rata by population?

Thats exactyly the problem, We (the home nations) arent the powerhouses in world football any more and alot of people, influential ones too are really not happy about how much say we have in the running of the game.

oh and NI are against it now as well after the change in Leadership of the IFA
