:08:54. > :08:58.is an island of influences but with an independent streak. An identity

:09:04. > :09:05.jersey FA wants thee young players to represent their island on the
:09:06. > :09:10.international stage, to play countries, not just Counties. But
:09:11. > :09:15.there is a barrier. Uefa's rules say membership is only
:09:16. > :09:18.open to countries recognised by the United Nations as an independent
:09:19. > :09:22.state. Jersey don't fit the bill. What we are saying to Uefa is that

:10:06. > :10:10.football is lacking because you are playing against the same people week
:10:11. > :10:14.in, week out. Even funding at the moment, I think Uefa would bring
:10:15. > :10:21.funding for teams to expand and have better facilities. Officially Jersey
:10:22. > :10:28.are only suggesting trips to European football's Rocky outcrops,
