Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland 'Outrage'?
The leaders of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland football have reacted with outrage at an "historic" announcement by the British Olympic Association. The British Olympic Association say that players from all home nations will be eligible for selection for Team GB at the London 2012 Games. Welsh FA president Phil Pritchard: "We are not part of any agreement. The FA have no authority to speak on our behalf - they do not represent Wales whatsoever and that's a fact. "We have not discussed this at any time recently." SFA chief executive Stewart Regan: "I am very surprised and disappointed". The three home associations have long opposed an all-British team at the London Games, fearing it could affect their separate identities in world football, and saying the team should be made up of English players only.
