Well, actually the thread did have a bit of bump this afternoon, which is what brought my attention back to it. Actually I think the thread has generated quite a lot of interesting, considered responses (including some of my own), so sorry if it's upset you, but I think it probably is time to...

Sorry, but I do have to just wonder if the OP understands exactly what the 'E' in EFL stands for? Because I think that is crucial when considering if Scottish teams would play in it. Time to put this thread to bed now, I think..................

Quite agree with that. The counter argument being, of course, that nearly every team is in touching distance of promotion or relegation - and the super exciting(!) play-offs. For me, your case beats that hands down.

No, not the FA Cup - leave that alone. League Cup - go for that as suggested earlier.

I'm fine. Don't know why you're in such a flap about club football between English and Scottish teams. It's perfectly do-able.

You'd rather we were playing Crawley? :facepalm: :lol:

Geography not your strong point then? Brighton to Middlesbrough 313 miles - quite a long haul to be sure. Middlesbrough to Dundee another 224 miles! Quite a bit different, wouldn't you say? Scotland is bigger than you think.......

Precisely - and they're quite right. One whiff of Celtic and Rangers in the EPL, and England, Scotland, Wales and NI teams would disappear overnight - UEFA and FIFA would love to stuff us, and force us to have just a GB team. No bloody thanks!

Historical anomaly. Live with it. If alcohol hadn't been discovered before, and someone invented it now, it would be banned as a class 'A'. It was, and so it isn't. Welsh clubs in the Football league go back nearly 100 years ffs, just get on with it. No it wouldn't. What could work would be...
