Celtic Cup - It's gonna happen

BBC SPORT | Football | Internationals | 'Celtic Cup' set to start in 2009



'Celtic Cup' set to start in 2009

Scots supporters invade the Wembley pitch in 1977

Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have agreed "in principle" to play a series of three biennial "Celtic Cup" tournaments.
An agreement signed on Monday commits the countries to arranging the tournaments on a league basis.
Home and away games will be rotated from one tournament to the next with each team playing three matches in each of the competitions.
Last week England distanced themselves from involvement in the tournament.
Commercial arrangements and fixture dates are now being finalised.
The old Home Championship, which included England but not the Republic of Ireland, was staged every year until 1984.

But matches between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were eventually scrapped because of increasing fixture congestion.

Re: Celtic Cup - It's gonna happen

Fair enough. Cant say I'd be in favour of our country taking part. We're forever hearing that players are playing too many games and need more rest and yet here we go again - national Associations creating more games for their already nackered players.

Great.

And who really gives a toss about this tournament if England arent involved? Lets be honest, they all want us there so they can beat us. How many people will turn up to Wales v Eire? Probably the same 20'000 that showed up the other week.

Bah!

Nope. Apparently your in a two legged play off with the Isle of Man and the winner gets promoted to the Celtic Cup. Betfred are going 1.91 each of you at the moment
