After the English Football Association, the next oldest are the Scottish FA (1873), the FA of Wales (1875) and the Irish FA (1880). Incidentally, it was not until nine years after the football rules had been established for the first time in 1863 that the size and weight of the ball were finally standardised. www.fifa.com /en/game/historygame.html   (3360 words)

SFL: Scottish Football League Prior to League football, a haphazard arrangement existed with clubs arranging friendly matches, including several against leading English clubs, with the major competition being that organised by The Scottish Football Association (formed in 1873), namely the Scottish Cup, as well as the cup competitions run by the various local associations throughout Scotland. In April, 2001, The Scottish Football League moved its headquarters from 188 West Regent Street in Glasgow to the National Stadium, Hampden Park, Glasgow, where all the Scottish football authorities are now based. Right from the very beginning, the League was beset by controversy and in that very first season, Renton incurred the wrath of The Scottish Football Association for playing a friendly without the approval of the Association, and as a result, were expelled from the Association, thereby preventing them from continuing their participation in the League. www.scottishfootballleague.com /scottish_football.cfm?curpageid=971   (2350 words)

Liverpool.y2u.co.uk - Liverpool Football Club - Nearly everything you need to know Liverpool had their best season for years in 2000-01 when they won a unique treble of the League Cup (beating Birmingham on penalties after a 1-1 draw), F.A Cup (beating Arsenal 2-1 with two last minute goals for Michael Owen) and UEFA Cup (beating Alavés 5-4). Liverpool's 1986 double success made history as they were only the fifth team in English football to achieve such a feat, and the first team to win the F.A Cup without fielding a single English player. Liverpool had an outside chance of winning the Premiership title for much of the 1997-98 season but were unable to catch champions Arsenal and runners-up Manchester United, so their place in Europe for 1998-99 was merely the UEFA Cup rather than the Champions League. liverpool.y2u.co.uk   (4199 words)
