Uk has already said that they won't recognize them
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41783238

Even though Russia is anti-EU, they know this matter is delicate. They themselves have their own secessionists group that want to seceed in Chechnya region. What message do U think it will pass to them? Believe me Catalonia is on it's own
Bro I know I live in UK but I also know that's what they said when the Republic of Ireland left the UK . So this is not new . Dnt 4get after brexit the UK are also looking for new friends . If they are all bent on unity ask them why brake up the USSR

Declaring independence isn't the problem but who will recognize them? The only way this independence will work is only if they will be all alone. EU have already said that they can't recognize them, UK is too scared to recognize them because They have Scotland at their backyard waiting patiently to strike. USA has done the same thing too. The only organisation and association that will recognize them easily is FIFA.Spain will fight tooth and nail not to allow them go easily. I just hope it won't result to a bloody conflict.

Lol. big difference btw Catalonia and Biafra, is that, their politicians are the one spearheading the fight. plus its an autonomous region.

For those wondering what the difference is between what the Catalonians are doing and what Kanu is/was try to achieve in the South East, well it's pretty clear. The existing regional leaders were carried along. Kanu's guerilla style secession plan kept those who could help the Biafra cause out of the loop and here's the thing about the international community : when even the elected regional leaders are not backing your secession plan just expect no support from them. Kanu put himself out as the South East's lone lord and savior and of course, the regional leaders (who have resources and access to the central government) decided to leave him to his devices and see how far he could go it alone. Apparently, not very far.

The rules of the league does not allow non Spanish teams join LA Liga. If the seccession becomes official, Barca automatically is expelled from LA Liga regardless of what Bartomeu thinks or wants.





You're right about the rules. I am aware of that.

However, Tebas did say he will call all the Catalan clubs in the event of a separation. So I suppose they could work something out.

Kanu's been copying a little bit of Catalan's style of freedom fight a long time, will he come out of hiding now. Can't believe with all those chest beating of his he ran into a hole.

You have been spreading alternative facts on this thread. If Catalonia seccedes, Barca will be not be in La liga according to Barca Prez and La Liga Prez http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/10/catalan-independence-affect-fc-barcelona-171004072234424.html

https://www.thestar.com/sports/soccer/2017/09/08/spanish-soccer-league-worried-about-barcelonas-future-if-catalonia-breaks-away.html

Also, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland have the right to seccede from the UK and they have exercised that right. They are still in the UK because majority voted to stay.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_independence_referendum,_2014

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland_border_poll,_1973

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_devolution_referendum,_2011

Bro, that was what I saw. It was a series of tweets from some barca handle that I can't even remember anymore. Tried to do some digging but nothing came up. I am well aware of the rules. Told a friend this morning that were Catalonia to secede, Valencia would automatically go top of the table. I only based that particular response off the tweets I saw quoting Javier Tebas.

About the UK secessionists, I don't see the alternative fact there. That's what's up, straight up.

That said, I appreciate your civil approach.

continue running your mouth upandan. Spain has no choice cos this is Europe. Suspending catalan autonomy amount suspending people's will and that's a declaration of war. Aside the fact that it could earn catalonia some international support, it will rally anti independence catalans towards independence, making future unity even more difficult.
Story for the gods, go grant the Catalans independence and let's see

Apparently, not very far.

Considerable scrutiny would also reveal why Kanu went about it the way he did.

Karl Marx had a maxim that "when you are the oppressor/privileged, equality seems like persecution".

It is clear to anyone who has two brain cells to rub together that the beneficiaries of the blatant exploitation in Nigeria would rather die than allow an event that will unsettle their parasitism. United in their exploitation, they cut across the different ethnic groups feasting on the structural debility of Nigeria.

The foundation of legal authority that Nigeria calls it's constitution was not fully drawn by a consensus of inputs by representatives of the people, no, but by the agents of pathetic military exploiters who have poised to continue that imbalanced malfeasance. They have also distorted the balance of the country by awarding the North numerically superior states and population, which are largely unproductive in the grand scheme of things. Now, tell me how Kanu could have successfully pushed his agitation through the parliament? Tell me.

History lends credence to the fact that where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, then that society will always face upheavals.

FYI, the UK amalgamated northern and southern Nigeria and would never allow Nigeria to disintegrate not even Spain.
.
Russia has secessionist groups too and would not want to be seen supporting any.
.
The US would definitely side the UK.
.
China still has problems with Taiwan and Tibet.
.
France inorder not to anger Cameroon would never agree.

These 5 countries are the UN permanent Security Council members and just one can veto any secession, just one of them
