cardiff and swansea beating random sheep farmers 11-0 every week in the plide cymry league would be no good for anyone and its the exact same thing
plus if barca wanna join and make it so i dont have to watch lol liga to get some messi then im for that too (boot them out when he moves/retires)
The fact that the OF aren't well suited to the Scottish League isn't the problem of clubs south of the border. It isn't for the Premier League to solve their problems for them. They can redistribute some funds to make the division a bit more competitive or something.
If, heaven help us, they do let them in, then things like sectarian twaddle and knife crime will then become the problem of football supoorters in England (and parts of Wales) too. Unfortunately they won't be issues for you, which is a shame as a on the evidence of the post above a gentle chibbing might do you some good.
