I did reply to all of it

No you just replied to the fact it had history , not that it served a purpose , and you made a cheap and unnecessary comparison with referees attire

Don't do that , it makes you look stupid , something you clearly aren't

If you think people are mugs for going to watch the best players in SL play against each other in a highly competitive match then you're probably watching the wrong sport lad.

We seem to have been dragged off topic by the troll. Going back to the thread I have done a bit of research and you will see the depth of declared Celts in SL and the Co-op Champs below. It is actually quite impressive and if you accept that i have put Henderson, Brough and a couple of others who have switched allegiences (how on earth does that work after you have picked up a cap?) then you can see there is plenty of quality and strength in depth.

If we were to have two or three weekends where they could play these games (I know that would be a problem as clubs need the revenue and don't like blank weekends) then we could have a triangular comp with England, the Celts and Exiles that would produce some pretty intensive footy, only benefiting all the England and Celtic lads who take part.

Any, here is the list (forgive me if I get the odd club wrong).
