National Non-League Cup In Scottish Football.

National Non-League Cup In Scottish Football.

Why is it Scotland does not have a universal non-league National cup, for junior, and other sides?

Scotland has a Scottish Junior Cup, but it does not include Highland League and Lowland League sides.

My idea is all non-league sides could have a united trophy.

So all football clubs in junior and senior football who are not in the SPFL could enter.

So for instance there could be sides from the Scottish Highland League, Scottish Lowland League, Scottish Junior football, and other leagues and set ups that are not in the SPFL system could enter.

Also perhaps the B teams of major Scottish sides like Glasgow Celtic, Aberdeen, Glasgow Rangers, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Dundee United, and Dundee could enter.

It could be a fun non-league trophy. It could be a straight knockout trophy or group stage trophy followed by a knockout round.

European Conferences In American Sports Leagues

European Conferences In North American Sports Leagues.

People often wonder how the major North American sports leagues like NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL,and MLS could grow.

My idea is there could be European conferences that play the majority of games against fellow European franchises and 10 games home and away against Eastern North American franchises in the regular season. Then the leading sides in the European conferences qualify for the play offs of the North American sports league.

So for instance places like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dublin, Dundee, Cardiff, Leeds, Belfast, Swansea, Cork, Newcastle, Birmingham, Dortmund, Frankfurt, Liverpool, Turin, Naples, Bilbao, Lyon, Rennes, Vienna, Rome, Lisbon, Milan, Prague, Wroclaw, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Paris, Sevilla, Amsterdam, Liege, Nantes, Nice, London, Manchester, Hull, Athens, Vigo, Metz, Sockholm, Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza, Bratislava, Stuttgart, Munich, Coventry, Goteborg, Oslo, and other European cities and regions could support franchises in the European conferences of the Major North American Sports Leagues at male and female sport. So for instance the NFL could have a European Conference with Madrid, London, Munich, Paris, and Rome. This would add to North American sports and allow the big American leagues to grow in safe, wealthy markets. This could happen in baseball, soccer, basketball, American football, ice hockey, and other sports.

The same could also happen in other parts of the World like Asia, Africa, Oceania, South America, and Central America.

Celtic Nations Composite Sides In Sport

Celtic Nations Composite Sides In Sport.

I think that the Celtic Nations should have Composite sides in some sports.

What I mean is that the Celtic Nations of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, and Brittany, should have united sides of players selected from all the Celtic Nations, at male and female sport in some sports.

In cricket the West Indies play as a composite side of some nations as one International cricket side.

In rugby union the Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and English join together to create the touring side of the British and Irish Lions.

So my idea would be that in some sport like football / soccer, basketball, cricket, rugby union, rugby league, tennis, golf, baseball, motor racing, netball, hockey, swimming, gymnastics, ice hockey, or snooker, that the Celtic Nations should unite in international competition, or in a touring side to play major teams.

For instance Celtic Nations Composite Side could play at international rugby union or cricket as a tour of some major international side.

Or perhaps a testimonial match in soccer could see Aberdeen FC, Glasgow Celtic, or Glasgow Rangers, or another big side could play against a united composite side of the selected players from the Celtic Nations.

North Atlantic League Cup.

How about a North Atlantic League Cup of football of the leading 4 to 6 clubs from each country of Scotland, Wales, Poland, France, the USA, Canada, Mexico, Greece, Northern African nations, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Sweden, Portugal, Austria? This would be on top of domestic and UEFA football trophies. The Saudia Arabians could fund it. And there could be teams from Europe, Africa, Asia, North America in it. The Scots would bring history, passion and lore to the trophy.

There could be a group stage trophy leading to a knockout round. There could be European and MLS sides in the trophy.

Cross Border Football Cups

How about Saudi Arabia fund a cross border club trophy with teams from Saudi Arabia, Scotland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, North America, Africa and other Euripean nations? Saudi Arabia has wealth, but Scotland has intense passionate supporters. Clubs like Glasgow Celtic, Aberdeen, Glasgow Rangers, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Dundee, and Dundee United could bring passionate games and lore to Saudi soccer.How about cross border cups for Scottish football. I say a good way for Scottish football to improve is to have cross border trophies on top of domestic and European football.There are an entire host of ideas that could happen. Bring back the Anglo Scottish Cup.Change the Scottish Premiership to a 16 team 30 game league. Then have extra cross border cups.Ideas could include a North Atlantic League Cup. With the top four to 8 SPFL clubs playing a group stage trophy with teams from Europe, Asia, or Africa, or North America, or Saudi Arabia.

The Scottish allow Welsh and Northern Ireland club sides in the Scottish Challenge Cup.The Scottish and Welsh Rugby clubs travel to places like South Africa, and Italy. And UEFA soccer has seen Scottish sides travel to Central Asia. So football clubs could travel 5 or 8 times a year to the USA, or Africa.In UEFA trophies Scottish and Welsh sides have been to Central Asia.

Other ideas could include having all Scottish Premiership sides not in Europe, plus selected Welsh Cymru Premier club sides, and perhaps North West French sides in the Football League Trophy.

There could easily be 16 teams added to the EFL Trophy with a little reorganisation of the trophy to add the new sides.Perhaps all Scots Championsip sides, Welsh Cymru Premier sides, and some North Western French sides in the non-league FA Trophy.Or Celtic Nations Club Cup of Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Ulster, Cornish, Cumbria, Brittany, Isle of Man and Yorkshire club sides.

Perhaps leading Scottish, Irish, Swiss, Polish, Danish, Swedish, French, Dutch, Belgian or German sides invited as guests into the English FA Cup, or English League Cup, this could also be done in the English Football women's domestic cups.

I do not support merging the British leagues, as people would wrongly think Scotland was part of England. And all the Scottish trophies in history would be relegated to the status of lower tier trophies. While all the English trophies would be seen as forerunners of the British trophies. So Scottish clubs would be seen to be reset as having won ZERO trophies. Also 30 trips into England a year might be too much but 4 to 8 times a year would keep it a novelty and highlight of the season.We need Pan-Great Britain Cups on top of domestic and European football.If we had a British League a club like Dundee could make 20 trips year of up to 700 miles. That would be too tough. It has to be at a manageable number of games.
