Berwick Rangers to be expelled from Scottish League says Salmond
FootballCynic understands that Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish Nationalists, has written to the President of Berwick Rangers, Rt Hon Sir Alan Beith MP, to tell him that Scottish Third Division club must play in England from 2014.
It is believed that Prime Minister, David Cameron, is insisting on an extra question of the much publicised Scottish referendum which will read “In the event of Scotland gaining independence, should Berwick Rangers be forced to play in England?”
Alex Salmond has accepted the Prime Minister’s ruling, but is insisting that there are two responses on the ballot paper – “Yes, definitely” and “Yes, but I don’t care too much”.
It could leave Berwick Rangers without a league, although the committee of the South West Peninsula League has responded warmly and has indicated that they would welcome the club provided that they didn’t mind travelling to the likes of Falmouth Town and Bodmin Town week in week out.
An irate Alex Salmond has reportedly responded angrily to FootballCynic’s interest in the matter. “It sums it all up”, he said, “you will note the FootballCynic website never emboldens Scottish Teams like St Johnstone and Albion Rovers. No wonder, we want independence.” The observation about FootballCynic.com, which is the subject of a boycott north of the border, is expected to harden support in favour of independence.

Did you know that the ref at Berwick on Saturday was a Mr Salmond?? (FootballCynic writes: Surely not. With a 'D' on the end as well?)

You've hit a raw nerve with the fellow from Berwick or so it would seem. I was discussing this very issue with Lady Knobhead as we were perusing the League 2 scores and remarking on Swindon's 1-0 win during toast and marmalade this morning. Lady Knobhead was born on the borders of Chalfont St Giles and Chalfont St Peter and it had some funny effects. Although her address was Chalfont St Giles, she always said she was nearer Chalfont St Peter. Yet, if people mistakenly referred to her as living in Chalfont St Peter, she would quickly correct them, acting somewhat offended, and say she was a 'Giles'. So, you should be more sympathetic with these poor confused souls who don't know whether they are in Scotland or England. It must be hell for them. I just feel sorry for those who have to listen to Salmond's irritating voice. If there is a king of know-it-alls, Salmond is the man. At least, that's what Lady Knobhead says and she is always right. (FootballCynic writes: So, what did Lady Knobhead make of Swindon's 1-0 win then?)
