I posted what I'd call a fair explanation yesterday, yet you haven't acknowledged it, even though you must've seen it as you've posted on CC since I posted it. I have to say that you called me rude for saying certain things about what I called non entity 'nations'. Mmm, wouldn't you say it's quite rude to not acknowledge or reply to my explanatory post. 🤔

Do you not see why people think it is a bit insulting to refer to countries other than England as "nonentity" nations or "tinpot" islands, even though possibly meant as "bantz"?

The fact that you quite like NI is not an explanation.

If you think that was a fair explanation (or indeed any sort of explanation), then you probably need to look up the word "explanation".

Telling us you don't think NI are a tinpot nation is not an "explanation" of your views generally on this subject. And that was the only post in this thread from you yesterday.

I referred to a few lose every match they play 'small nations' as such. I don't recall calling other nations certain things, just these 'small nations'. You are trying to imply that I seem to think that all nations, other than England fall into this category.

Besides, I'm talking about @PaulSB saying It was rude to call those 'small nations; non entity, tinpot etc. So what if I did. It's not like I'm the chief executive of EUFA or something is it! I just posted my thoughts on a forum that I doubt many if anyone from say the Faroe Islands will see and read. It's called voicing an opinion, that's all.

Oh right, so I have to be all polite to these 'small nations' and say all nice things about them, otherwise I'm the bad boy eh!!

Maybe FIFA could organise a 'small nations' world cup every 4 years. Seriously I'm not taking the pee, as I think it'd be a decent competition with equally able teams/countries competing against each other. We have the EFL Trophy for League one and League two clubs, giving them the chance to play at Wembley and maybe win a trophy, which is almost impossible to achieve for them in the FA Cup and The League Cup.

The Nations League A Group for the real World Cup and the B League countries in the Diddy World Cup?

A wise move I'd say. Charlton hung around like he was part of the furniture and Liverpool still have Kenny Dalglish sucking up freebies while getting very well paid, like Ferguson was for doing not much more than feck all!!​

That'd just be an insult to the 'small nations', who as I've said have just as much right to play in and qualify for any major tournament finals.

The EFL Trophy is a bit of a joke really when you've got the colt/U21 sides involved. The FA Vase is a better example of a properly small team tournament.
