Can these people explain why they want the rules applied so rigidly?

regardless of calling it a region or a country it"s still scotland..... for instance i"m pretty sure scouse wouldn"t want to play for manchester if it was that way round. (just as an example)
And lets not forget, it aint just Scotland, it"s Wales and Ireland players also.

thats making the assumption they are ALL bothered to the same extent as the few people on here.
I really do think that most of the APAT members, if you did a poll, would click the "couldnt give a sh!t" button tbh.

They probably would, because it doesn"t effect many players. Which is also why the "soft" rule wasn"t doing any harm IMO.

Sorry, that came across as very short and slightly dismissive now i re read it.
I still say that the rules have been put into place to combat the lack of fairness in team sizes last season, This was the point that i saw raised more than any other in regards the online league.
If you start relaxing the rule for people now, its going to end up back exactly where it started. Des and Rich have a duty to uphold the integrity of their tournaments for the majority of people. This is why, whilst going to really annoy and disappoint some people, the rule should stay in my opinion.
TightEnd:
APAT was damned if it did, damned if it didn"t
One consistuency or another was going to be upset if we went for "hard" or "soft" eligibility rules
A shame, but part and parcel of the players" passion for APAT, which is a good thing
I prefer the "soft", which allows friendships and team groups built up over several years to persist in large part. Equally, I understand why a harder stance was taken
Luton is one of the more heterogeneous groups, with a Captain that lived in Peterborough, then one who lived in Berkshire, and players drawn from various areas. as Curlarge points out, not easy for these guys to see the bigger picture but they are prepared to and good on them for that.

Personally i don"t want anyone playing under the banner of Scotland who is English or Scottish with an English accent.
