[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 878475, member: 74121"] "Won't someone please think of the children!" To clarify further. I think if a union specifically employs people whose sole job is to sift foreign players at different age groups, identify those with a Scottish grandparent, approach them and entice with incentives, then they have crossed a line - and this is what is prompting the response by the English union. I don't have enough knowledge to know what unions do that and which ones don't so I'll sit out any finger pointing (and that wasn't the intention of my OP, other than to point at Scotland). But I find it embarassing, sad and ultimately counterproductive for a Tier 1 nation with a rich heritage in the sport to engage in such shennanigans. [/QUOTE]
