Team Gb Name

[halifaxduke]

Can enybody explain to me why the england team is called team GB ?

 

the team consistes of 5 english men born in england yet they ride with a union jack ? and not the red and white cross of st george ! the patrant saint of england,

during another forum topic i called scotland GB and also wales (cardif in fact ) GB i was corrected by a scotch man who said scotland in paticular glasgow is not GB its scotland,

and like wise by the weLsh man cardif is wales not GB ?,

I was then banned from the sitem - (Mod Note, one big fat lie - see below) e the reason they said i was racist and non patriotic because i was calling my 5 fellow ENGLISH men ENGLISH and not great british ,one moderator posted chris harris was born in cornwall not england ?? he was allegedly irish i think !.

Could eny body help is glasgow /edinburgh in great britan or scotland are edinburgh being non patriotic when they hold the scotish open not the great british open.

Is my sat nav wrong when i enter cardif and it says cardif wales and not great britan !.

If i go to ediinburgh /glasgow they fly scotish flags and newport welsh why is this if they are great british !.

Will newport hold the great british open next year or the welsh agen ?.

SO WHY ARE ENGLAND NOT CALLED ENGLAND?????????????? .

Good point but we race under the banner of Team GB because we are what it says on the tin .... Great Britain.

 

Yes we are all English, Scottish and Welsh but we are all united under one kingdom and one name and we should all be proud to call ourselves British. The same could be said in Spain where depending on where your from you could call yourself Catalan, Basque or Galician but at the end of the day they are all Spanish and when Spain won the world cup the whole country celebrated no matter what region they came from.

 

Before being involved in speedway we were 100% English and were annoyed with certain so called "GB" sportsmen from other sports who appeared to be anti english. However after the welcome and friendships we have formed in Newport, Cardiff and Glasgow we now consider ourselves both english AND british - We were equally as proud when "Land of hope and glory" the english anthem was played as if "God save the Queen" had been played

 

If Team GB had won today I'm sure that speedway fans in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newport would have celebrated just as much as us English so lets all get behind Team GB and be proud to be from the Great nation we call Great Britain

Team GB today represented Great Britain as I believe that the individual countries of Great Britain are not members of the FIM but GB is. There is no English leagues in GB, just British ones. England did not enter the SWC.

 

There were indeed 5 Englishmen in the team today (or 3 plus a Cornishman and an Aussie if you believe some of the posts on here) but any GB rider can ride for the team. Without checking were Willie Lawson and Andy Tully not in the GB under 21 squad?

 

To confirm your geographical understanding, Glasgow is indeed in Scotland (though as a Monarch I am campaigning to move it south for a few hundred miles ), Cardiff is in Wales and equally so, London is in England. To explain further - Scotland, England and Wales are all part of Great Britain hence the use of the Union Jack/Flag (there's a wee clue in the make up of the flag)for Team GB.

 

Do you remember the winter Olympics a few years ago when 4 Scottish women won the gold medal - they were Scottish but were representing GB - GB won the gold medal - not Scotland!

 

Finally - you did not speak to a SCOTCHMAN, but a Scotsman - Scotch is what we drink - in small quantities of course!

 

I trust that this explanation assists you!

Is my sat nav wrong when i enter cardif and it says cardif wales and not Great Britain!.

 

 

What Sat Nav do you use?

Mine defines Cardiff as Wales and Glasgow as Scotland BUT the third definition is England and not Great Britain.

So my Sat Nav is correct - which one do you have?

 

 

 

As for the rest - I think its been answered!

[/so were is the green of the welsh flag in the union jack? and why do scots use a blue an white flag and not be proud of the union jack as us english are forced to do /when the anzacs no longer rode for GB it was changed to england because the team was english wots the differance now ! we have to use the union flag not our own.

why does the scotish football team play in BLUE AND WHITE and not red white and blue and be proud to be british ?.

the england team play in red white an blue?.

why when the cross of st george is red and white?.

do all scots and welsh call them selves british an be proud i think not !.

call a scots man british or were a unionjackflag an go out clubin in glasgow an youd lose ya heed man !.

if i painted my van in the union jack wrote england on it.

then parked it outside a night club in glasgow would the scots be proud ov it.? or would i need a new paint job ect ect .

eny way way were going all british flags will soon be changed to the union jackystan ov britan

[Deano]

 

 

so were is the green of the welsh flag in the union jack?

 

 

They tried to incorporate the flag of St David... but it looked naff:

Get off your high horse, not all from the Celtic countries of the UK are anti English. They just like to beat us a sport... just as we like to beat them at sport too.

[nonglak1]

Why can't we have an English Elite,Premier and National league then perhaps we can be called Team England.In football we have the ENGLISH Premier league and i'm sure they wouldn't change it if Cardiff or Swansea got promoted.

Can someone please translate the above paragraph into plain english so some of us can understand. The standard of education in Yorkshire has dropped immensely since my days at school!

[SarahLapworth]

From an educated Yorkshire lady ! (Perhaps the lady part is a slight contradiction lol ) I do believe the above point is regarding the Union Jack flag which is in all fairness a compilation of the St George, St Andrew and St Patrick Flag. It is unfortunate there is no Welsh or green representation in the flag however this is due to Wales being legally annexed to England as it has been since the reign of Henry VIII in the 1530's )

 

Personally I would love to see the Queen with whippets and a pint of Stones instead of Corgi and a G&T

It gives you options when you lose.

 

Andy Murray wins a round of tennis, he's British.

 

When he loses, he's a Scot.

G'day Sarah, hope you're well?

 

Just to expand on the History lesson, I believe that the Principality of Wales was first gobbled up by economic migrants/foreigners in 1301, under Edward I. When BigFatHenry's dad, Hal VII, a Welsh groom, grade A chancer and the founder of the Tudor Dynasty, flogged Richard the Turd (or Dick the Sh!t) at Bosworth in 1485 it restored the Welsh Monarchy, which ruled the southern bit of GB until the Scots took over in 1603, with the ensuing disastrous introduction of a Constitutional Monarchy as the Stuarts couldn't organise a Root in a Brothel.

 

Peed meself at the mental image of Mrs Battenburg-Windsor (weren't her family Migrants?) with a whippet & pint of Stones - all she'd need then is her hair in curlers and a fag hanging out of her gob to audition for Coronation St!

 

 

As for these moronic Little Englanders; its an open forum and has its good & bad points. One of the downsides is the juvenile standard of debate on some issues, (check out the SWC threads!) but it does serve to give us poor benighted Colonials the opportunity to have a giggle or two at the expense of the numpty one-eyed brigade.

So my Sat Nav is correct - which one do you have?

SO WHY ARE 5 ENGLISH LADS WITH ENGLISH POST CODES CALLED GREAT BRITAN ,

as you say your sat nav is correct and defines england /wales/scotland, NOT GREAT BRITAN ,SO WHY IS ENGLAND CALLED TEAM GREAT BRITAN ? if you are from scotland or wales you must be great british if england is called great britan,.

Can't help but agree - well that's probably the easiest option!!

[HenryW]

What a bizarre thread, and what woeful English from the man campaigning for the English name.

 

He does have one good point, the Union Jack shouldn't be getting used for GB. It should, of course, be this flag, as the Northern Irish are not involved in GB.

 

Is it really so hard to understand that, even though the riders are all from one part of GB at the moment, there is only a single representation for the Nation?

 

I wonder if the Californians whinge so much about them racing as USA for so many years

I bet you wish the Halifax Dukes had a history like Evertons!

So my fellow Yorkshireman, which one are you?

Woeful english indeed!
