  2. This seems wholly fair tbh. You can’t choose to play under one systems rules while simultaneously expecting to benefit from a system you chose not to be a part of. Get promoted and qualify for European competitions like every other team in the EFL has to.

  3. There was no problem with the Welsh clubs qualifying for Europe through the Welsh cup years ago.
    There is only a problem now because people want to make a fuss.
    It’s a shame really because it would have been good for our clubs and all the reasons against it smack of just wanting to keep the Welsh in their place.

    The FA was never going to back it obviously.

    What about withdrawing from the English cups and just playing in the Welsh ones, more of an incentive for us to do that if Europe’s at the end of it.

    And It’s not like the FA cup has any glamour anymore regardless of the ‘magic of the cup’ nonsense spouted out every game on TV.

    Or if we withdrew from the cups would we be forced to withdraw from the league too?
    Probably cos like I said above, gotta keep us in our place.

    700 plus years of fighting your wars and contributing to the country in a myriad of ways but we will always be foreigners to you lot won’t we…

  4. I do get that there would be some inherent unfairness in this but you can also argue that the status quo is unfair on the FAW with their best clubs unable to assist towards the coefficient.

  6. I can’t see any mention that the old premier cup included European qualification.

    Did that actually happen?

  7. Anyone wanna explain this for people who know fuck all about footy drama?
