How so? The Spanish supported their application.

UEFA becomes more like Eurovision every day. Too busy collecting teams that aren't proper countries or aren't in Europe to have time to deal with issues like racism properly. Twats.

European football has gone crazy, oh well maybe there is still hope for Portland!

I honestly didn't know that. I do know that Spain wants to regain sovereignty over Gibraltar against the wishes of the population. However it seems Spain isn't prepared to give up sovereignty of Ceuta and Melilla, their territories in Morocco. A bit one sided, don't you think? Also, hasn't Spanish warships recently been provoking the Gibraltarians by invading their territorial waters? Perhaps now you can understand my apparent mistake?

Oh dear. I've got be honest with you, if a small place like Gib wants field a team of sorts I wouldn't have the heart to deny them - sure it's a bind if they're in your group but that's the way the p!sspot cracks

Guernsey next then. They can play Corinthian Casuals on Saturday and then Italy in the Stadio Olymplico the following Wednesday.
