What is sport coming to, when certain countries can't be drawn in the same group for political reasons?
From BBC website; Gibraltar, taking part for the first time after being accepted as a Uefa member last year, will be kept apart from neighbours Spain in qualifying to avoid exacerbating political tensions.
Azerbaijan and Armenia will also be kept apart for the same reason, but Russia and Georgia, who do not share diplomatic ties following conflict between the two former Soviet republics in 2008, have agreed to play each other if drawn in the same pot.
If the Scots vote to become independent can we refuse to play them in future too??

A good draw for England. We'll win that competition easy. Scotland and Ireland have a tough one. They won't fancy playing Gibraltar.

Possibilty of a record score for the Germans against Gibraltar? What, with David Artell shoring up their defence? Oh, maybe you're right.

Gibralter hopefully, would love to see them take points of the Sweatys and the Paddys.
