What are your thoughts on the GB football team for the olympics?

The BOA announced yesterday that a historic agreement had been reached but according to the football associations of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales this is not the case. This is because they have made their status clear as independent within football.



I heard a fierce debate about it today on Talk Sports drive time segment. The guy hosting it or whatever was an arrogant bell*** to be honest.



He said that England, Scotland and Northern Ireland should relish the opportunity this is because they will never qualify for international tournaments and they are not good enough. He also said that England don't need this because they always qualify for international tournaments. He said the recent announcement made by the BOA was not "english" and he didn't support it.



Basically the football associations of the other nations want no part to play and they have made this perfectly clear and they were happy for England to represent GB in the olympics. According to the british olympic association this could lead to discrimination.



Wow this is a long question lol. I consider myself Irish so i am neutral in this debate but what do you think of this whole fiasco.What are your thoughts on the GB football team for the olympics?
I think it would be great what a brilliant team you could have? i would have SAF as manager.


EDIT - I don't agree with you mate why would it be the English national team? there is some great players scattered about the British isles.


I agree with your statement - " It should be a team with an even amount of English, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish".What are your thoughts on the GB football team for the olympics?
I don't consider football is an Olympic sport and do not watch the football on it

I do like the Olympics though

edit: I see our transatlantic troll friends are about..lolWhat are your thoughts on the GB football team for the olympics?
The nations never join together normally so this is a stupid idea to create a team GB



Plus we ALL know that four out of five of the players picked would be English.
