The Scottish government may do what the US government does - tax people on their world wide income if they have a Scottish passport.

In fact if Mr Salmond doesn't think of it I will write to him to suggest it - it's only fair.

I don't think Sean knows what country he is in these days.

I do suspect he is going to take on for the team and die just before the referendum, then we will get a flood of 'Sean's message from the grave' type stuff from the SNP.

I think there is so much money in sport, or success in sport now, that the idea of any team not using any and everything to give them even a slight, even perceived advantage is quite laughable.

I remember Australians lambasting us for using Saffers in our cricket team, but now look at their rugby union and league teams. Even this summers ashes featured a Pakistani whom they fast tracked through their residency conditions. Kiwis have been up to it for years.

I think Wilshere's suggestion is old fashioned, if not a touch naive. I'd also look at most people and ask them if they thought they were 100% english, as I know I am not, nor my wife, and you'd imagine us to be english as english could be.
