    How great would it be if it was like Gaelic Football and players only from that town / city could represent them?

    Sam Hammam tried to build an all Welsh team at Cardiff, they highest they managed in a game was 9 of the 11 being Welsh.

    That game was against Hull City.

    And if using only Romanian players doesn't bring success the owner can always try bribing players and officials again

    I guess it'd be racist if I started an all English team?

    Nah, just not very successful.

    Unless you take some ridiculous interpretation of the word "English".

    That's because they don't even have Bilbao in their name! It's more akin to calling us Kingston!

    I know, but as posted, their club crest says Athletic Club Bilbao so it's quite obvious why they get referred to as Bilbao. There's not the same kind of obvious reason to call us Kingston.

    They have relaxed the rules quite considerably recently

    Calling yourself athletic club is a bit vague anyway. It's equivalent us calling ourselves City FC. If they're going to have a silly name like that they can't moan when people stick the other word on their badge (also the town?) on the end.
