Euro 2016 for the UK?

SCOTLAND have comfirmed they have begun talks with Wales over putting in a joint bid to stage Euro 2016.

Scottish FA chief executive Gordon Smith said: "We said to Wales that we would talk about it, that was the extent of the initial discussion


If they get their act together, they may even be staging it four years earlier; UEFA is officially "concerned" (unofficially "bricking it") over the state of Poland and Ukraine’s preparation for the Euro 2012 tournament

Whether Euro 2012 or 2016, I hope they (Scotland/Wales) are, at least, in with a shout, it’s just the kind of shot in the arm that British football collectively needs at the minute.

I dread to think, though, what headlines the Pro-Maze Stadium propagandists at BBC/NIO Northern Ireland and the Bellylaugh (Belfast Telegraph) would come with...

"Sectarian, inbred, red-necked, splutter, splutter, ("where's my Gin and Tonic") Orange, bigotted, six-toed Northern Ireland fans have cost us Fiesta of Football, a million jobs, sparkling editorials in Le Monde and Executive seats for all the games for our newsroom editors"

Well, anyway, here's one Northern Ireland fan with all 6 toes crossed for Scotland and Wales;)
