Excluded or withdrew, the fact is it was big news at the time.

But they have also demonstrated that they won't give the same coverage to all home nations - just the ones beginning with 'E' and that's what I object to - my money is as good as yours, why shouldn't my national team get equal coverage? As I've said, when all 4 countries play, why should yours get prominance over mine?

That's fair enough. I'm English, living in England, so I can't say what the media is like in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. All in all, we aren't the media, so it is no good moaning to us. Set up a protest group and lobby the media and government
