I was at that press conference

Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan warned this week of a potential backlash by the Tartan Army against any Scotland players taking part.

What do people think of this? I'm personally against the idea of a team GB, but I wouldn't hold it against anyone who wanted to play.

Couldn't care less really, gonna try and get along to hampden for a game.
Waiting for the fixtures to be announced, hoping for Ireland vs Brazil.

But then again, this is the view hosted by a person who wont get a passport at risk of seeing the word British.

There is no Britishness in the UK, let alone Scotland. I can't imagine a footballer playing for Scotland and GB.

This island that we live on - most of us - is called Britain. It's the bigger territory of the ancient Britons so it's called Great Britain (the smaller territory is Brittany in France, it's name means Little Britain heh heh).
That's the geography that makes us British.
There's politics and history as well but let's not get bogged down in that whole hornets nest.
Point is we're British - i don't like it some of youse don't like it, but there you go.

Personally international football isn't for me. But this team GB thing could help us get into the epl we could make the argument were not Scottish were British and that if our players are good enough to play for team GB our teams are good enough to play in the best league in Britain.
