Guernsey already have a team so why not Isle of Man.

TBH they are more than big enough to have their own national team and have a better claim to it than some that have been given national team status.

This may cause a few issues.

IoM is not part of the UK. It DOES have it's own national team but they are not part of UEFA. They also have their own league system. Oddly any of their players can play for either England, Scotland, Wales or N Ireland.

May start the Glasgow clubs having a go again.

I wouldn’t say it was odd. Given they do t have their own national team( a non uefa or fifa one doesn’t count). It’s a crown dependency and seeming as they don’t have their own team even though they should apply for one. It only makes sense that their players should be able to choose from any British National side to represent.
