Do we still get to play in Europe?

[Keith_M]

Now that we've left the EU


:dunno:







































:greengrin

[Onion]

Yes, but the beer is even more expensive !

[Pete]

Do European employment laws still apply?

Can the Scottish league implement a three foreigner rule like Series A had without consequence?

[Finn2015]

Well like the wider context, so many unknowns. We will see

Especially in the movements of players. I'm sure all the top and middle euro players won't he affected but getting someone in who is the lower end may well struggle to move to the UK.

Hmmm, clubs having to develop home grown players, I like the sound of that!

Yes it could have that impact and I agree, wouldn't be a bad thing at all

Yes as enacted into uk law. Of course, with a Tory government for the foreseeable future, let's watch them tear worker's rights apart.

[mjhibby]

Indeed there could be a very detrimental affect on workers rights which were already being hammered. I do hope this govt doesn't last many years for so many reasons.

So if your club can afford superstars your gubbed. Sporting competition has officially ended this morning

[barcahibs]

The most important point that we're all forgetting is that if the UK descends into a post apocalyptic wasteland before next May we get to keep the Scottish Cup :agree:

There's always an upside. Now where's my molotov cocktail kit...

[SJM]

There's loads of countries not in the eu that play in Europe and don't need visas to go to. Turkey, Russia and Switzerland being three at the Euro's just now.

[jacomo]

Yeah, outrageous that those meddling Eurocrats made it ILLEGAL to develop our own players and FORCED us to sign unskilled East European cloggers.

:rolleyes:

Don't worry that will be the first thing they discuss when the EU leaders meet. :wink:

Not sure about Switzerland but pretty sure you need a visa for Russia and Turkey.

Now you come to mention it I remember my mum and dad paying some cash at the airport when we went to marmaris.

Marmaris...the Blackpool of Turkey. Couldn't pay me to go back there like.

No laws, nope, but the bigger clubs themselves took to paying for foreign imports on a big scale.


FWIW, I wasn't being entirely serious, more trying to look for a bright side in despair.

[mutley]

Nothing will "kick in" for at least 2 years while they work out Article 50 etc

Sounds about right

-----------------------------------

"English players may not be able to move to the continent freely and EU nationals could be subject to entry restrictions when seeking to play in England"

According to this guy, it only applies to England and English Players, so it shouldn't affect Scotland, Wales and NI.

[greenpaper55]

Nothing will change.

[greenlex]

Ryder Cup won't be the same either. A European Team with no Brits won't have the same appeal.

Ditto. It's a depressing day.

I suspect teams will apply to play in the CONCACAF now that Britain has chosen to join the US. :greengrin

An American team with Brits might have a chance against the EU. :wink:

[James70]

Will we even be allowed to sign lower league English players after a 2nd Referendum YES vote? :wink:

[hibs69]

Hmmm, clubs having to develop home grown players, I like the sound of that!

Yes, the home grown talent actually getting games for their clubs. I predict Scotland to win the 2024 Euros and the 2026 World Cup....., (not 2022, waaaay too hot)

Apparently the UK dropped from 5th to 6th largest economy today, and that was just lunchtime. Sounds like Butcher is in charge, we'll be in the relegation play-off place by tea time. :greengrin

gonna buy a euro million ticket tonight before were oot o that anaw

Is that us banned from the Eurovision Song Contest? I really hope so! :greengrin

No, but get ready for plenty - United Kingdom nil point!

We are leaving the European Union, not Europe.

Since when was being in Europe a prerequisite for entering the Eurovision?

Fantastically funny post by you :not worth

[ben johnson]

Now you come to mention it I remember my mum and dad paying some cash at the airport when we went to marmaris.

We were in Marmaris in the mid eighties and had to put an English fiver , no Scottish money,into a huge cardboard box on arrival at the Airport. It all began when the President of Turkey visited the UK and was not afforded a state visit welcome. He had to queue with all the other arrivals to go through passport control. Revenge was his 5 pound visa for British arrivals.

[Sir David Gray]

There's loads of countries not in the eu that play in Europe and don't need visas to go to. Turkey, Russia and Switzerland being three at the Euro's just now.

You don't need a visa for Switzerland but you definitely do need one for Turkey and Russia.

[jgl07]

Hmmm, clubs having to develop home grown players, I like the sound of that!
The foreign players, even those eligible, will not come here because of the plummeting value of the pound will mean they are playing for peanuts.

Also the big clubs will gather in all the best UK players meaning that clubs like Hibs will have to pay over the odds.

This certainly happened in the early 1990s when Rangers and Celtic had to play eight Scots and three non-Scots in European competition.

Turkey's in the EU mate.

[CapitalGreen]

Turkey's in the EU mate.

No it's not

[cabbageandribs1875]

Turkey's in the EU mate.


as above, no it's not


and nor will it be for quite a long time

[stantonhibby]

Turkey's in the EU mate.

Not even close to being allowed in

[PatHead]

Not even close to being allowed in

.....unless you listened to the Leave campaign.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Foreigners. They might try to move here after they play in Edinburgh! We must withdraw from the competition.

[greenlex]

European tour v American tour

Whilst my post was tongue in cheek your reply is not correct.

[Sir David Gray]

Turkey's in the EU mate.

Since when?

When did this happen!? :confused:

[ekhibee]

No it's not
I stand corrected. Turkey gained full membership of the EEC in 1987 and joined the EU Customs Union in 1995, but even though they applied for full membership of the EU in 2005, they are still in 'formal accession negotiations' and as yet are not full members.

Sorry Bud, I should have put a smiley to show I wasn't being serious.

[Hibby Bairn]

I don't think you need a visa to go to Turkey. Not unless that has changed from 2 years ago when I was on holiday there.

[Keith_M]

They brought in much stricter rules since you were there... something about preventing Tories from getting into the country.

[TonyStokeprano]

You sure it was Turkey you were in ?? All British folk have to go in a queue for a visa on arrival and pay an English tenner, been happening to me since I first went in 2009 and still happened last year in 2015, maybe you went to Greece lol

Visa is required for turkey costs about £12:00 online

[livi hibs 1875]

I had a stop over in Istanbul in April and missed my flight. Turkish airlines put me up in a hotel but I had to get a visa to just get out the airport

[Scott Allan Key]

Yes, and guess who had a Scottish tenner? Thank God for the Turkish air hostess who gave me one of hers.

[Iggy Pope]

I don't think you need a visa to go to Turkey. Not unless that has changed from 2 years ago when I was on holiday there.

For the past few years online visas have been available here:
https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/

Prior to that the 'visa' took the form of a greasy English ten pound note handed over at Passport Control. That arrangement goes as far back as yer pal Thatcher who caused the rift that persuaded the Turks to implement it for Brits (and a few others). If you or your tour operator never handed your tenner over I doubt it was Turkey you were in!

[jgl07]

You certainly need a visa to travel to Russia.

That is unless you enter Russia on the Ferry from Tallinn to St Petersburg, I am told.
