Second good article this week about footie in the New York Times. Seems that Gibraltar just wants to be recognized by the governing bodies. But Spain has other ideas and is objecting. It’s a good read and sounds like a classic David and Goliath story.

Spain is very hypocritical about Gibralter, when they hold their enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in Morocco.

Want to see this, Gibraltarian Police stop the coach at the Border crossing and ask everyone to get off while they check the vehicle and do passport checks !!!!
