Quoted from rancido



The problem is that the FA have already set a precedent by allowing teams like Newport County and Merthyr to take part in the FA Cup and FA Trophy.



They haven't really. Teams like Newport, Wrexham and Merthyr all play in the English league pyramid. TNS will be the first team to play in the Welsh league if they enter.

An astute old man told me once that just because something was always allowed or done in a certain way doesn't make it right.  Just needs someone with gonads to make it right  


I agree but if Newport County were told by the FA that they would no longer allow them to play in the FA Cup then that decision could be legally challenged .

All this on St Georges Day too....

Which by the way I heard this morning (RH) is coincidentally the anniversary of the first (and only?? ) time the FA cup was won by the Welsh when Cardiff beat Arsenal

I remember my dad telling me that Arsenal had a Welsh keeper who "inadvertently" helped his compatriots along the way to their win

Exactly. They've always been in it and always will be. Don't really know why people get so bothered about it.

The TNS thing's different. In fact, I find it a bit odd, but I don't really care.

Quoted from danno123
Weren't they in Europe a few seasons ago?  Quite a way to fall, Man City (I think they played) to teams like Ashington in the FA Trophy.


I think that 'fall' would've been apparent when they played against Neath (or whoever) the week after.

Not if we had a purge of non English teams in the league

Down with this sort of thing.


"Did the mods take this into account, when aaron slobbers all over threads with his garbage and attention seeking posts ( though not always) that when he gets put in his place, he could abuse his position and delete comments and block members- no offence but he's the sort of mammary that would do this. the whole decision is beyond belief imo" Hagrid

Good point. That would mean that we would have Berwick Rangers in the English set-up.
