Bit myopic that there's an old man and his dog chomping at the bit to attend matches in Lerwick.

If you don't support this obviously mad idea you're a flat cap wearing luddite and don't want the game to prosper.

Sky will never pay us a decent money if the children of Shetland haven't got a professional club to aim for!

I think you're being a little parochial there mate. It's all very well nurturing the easy to reach nearby places like Shetland, but what about the children of Orkney? All they've got to look forward to is Satanism and being trapped in a wicker man.

Meanwhile the community game in South Georgia withers on the vine.

The Argentinian billionaire was willing to bankroll the whole thing if they'd agreed to rename as Las Malvinas Marlins.

Didn’t work out well for Saint Helena when they merged with Ascension after they went bust did it? It was never going to work playing between the two and low and behold after no time at all they dropped any trace of Saint Helena and changed the name to Ascension FC.

This is all earth-bound stuff is archetypal of small-northern flat-capper small-fry thinking. There is no wonder we're the only planet to play RL.

When is the first franchise going to start on Mars?

Jeez. You might as well put a ferret down your trousers with that sort of insular thinking. There are a myriad of interdimensional planes we need to break through into. Sure some of these dimensions will be inhabited by unspeakable horrors, shuffling through their abyss. But to be fair so is Huddersfield.
