Euro 2020 Tap Secret Negotiations.

Havin' been rejected in ma quest fur a sister toon fur Banbridge, Ah note that the Free State is tae join wi' Scotland an' Wales in a bid for the Euro 2012 fitba.

Faroe Islands, luk a bit like the Copelands. 

Nat tae be ootdun, Ah hiv duly emailed the Faroe Islands Football Association. Ah stuck this through Google Translate. 


Greetings Faroe islanders


I write from Northern Ireland, which, you will know, is a country not too far from your country. I am sorry for my use of words, I have put this message through Google Translate and do not know what it will come out like. 


I'd like to make a suggestion for your football federation. As you may know, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales are together making a bid to host the 2020 European Football Championships. I am a bit angry that no one invited us to take part, and was thinking that perhaps our two countries should get together and make a bid? This plan would allow both our nations to qualify for the Euros, and for both our Federations to make a lot of money. We use pounds here, what do you folk use? 


Our two nations have much in common. Your nation is quite small, and so is ours. No one ever takes any notice of either of our countries and we both talk in quite odd accents. Neither of our nations is very good at football, but we still play and don't like being picked on by our bigger neighbours. Here in Northern Ireland we have a place called Strangford. Vikings gave it that name, and you folk are Vikings. Jim Shannon lives near it, you won't have heard of him, but he is very famous here, and a bit mental. 


Please keep the contents of this email secret, as these plans are at a preliminary stage. If you don't want to take part we might ask either Iceland or Germany to join us, but you are closer, so we thought we would give you first call. 


Many thanks
Professor Billy McWilliams

When it goes through Google Translate it luks like this, amusingly.....
