Andy H,
Yes! You are correct. Ability to represent your country as a Junior shouldn't depend on your parents bank balance but on your ability. The fact that MP's and MSP's don't seem to fussed at present about that situation is curious. You'd think they'd see the potential injustice to talented children. They are pretty good at outgoings and incomings when it relates to themselves after all. Britain/Scotland should be able to support it's talented youngsters to play on the World and European stage. Last time I looked we were in the top 7 economies in the World.
Also thanks for the info about Luxembourg. It's not just Scottish parents like me whinging. We actually know we are getting a raw deal! :-)
