| 1. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Wed 12th Feb 2025. 15:53 Looks like Welsh FA are challenging the international eligibility rules. Can`t think of anyone currently in Scottish Football who i would say would stand out that i would be pushing this for, probably because if good enough they move elsewhere within 2-3 years. *insert free Anti Niemi joke here* https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c805ndxv013o  Reply |

| 3. Author: fcda Date: Wed 12th Feb 2025. 18:17 Is the existing rule just an agreement between the home nations? If other countries outside the UK are able to do this, we`re putting ourselves at a disadvantage by not using it. It won`t be affecting England much but would the rest. Reply |
| 4. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 12th Feb 2025. 18:52 That actually sounds like if that particular rule was changed it would be bad news for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Not many decent players will spend 5 years based at a club in those countries before being tempted away, whereas many Scottish players will be in english academies from a young age, and if good enough might be tempted to play for england with the increased financial opportunities that come with that Reply |
