Has anyone else seen the Europa league squads released today? Jones and Defoe drop out. Apparently unable to make up the home grown quota so only allowed to register 21 players hence the reason for their omission. It seems like the gaffer prefers Barker over jones and although I’m not entirely clued up on registration rules for euro competitions I would have thought given jones time at killie he would have trained in Scotland longer than barker?

Barker doesn't count as homegrown mate, only four in the squad are. For every homegrown you are short you have to name one less out of 25. So squad can only be 21 and looks like came down to straight choice between the two if you get me?

But do you not become homegrown after having trained in the country over a certain period of time. That’s why I mentioned Jones time at killie as I would have thought that he would be homegrown?

Think McGregor, Jack, Stewart and maybe Arfield are our four home grown?

I thinks its 3 years between 15 and 21 counts as homegrown.

Only home grown if that training was when they were a certain age, I think between 15 and 18 or 21. Something like that. So if a player who is say, English or Northen Irish trained with a Scottish club for a certain period of time between ages of 15 and 21 then they are classed as home grown. Jones didn’t do that.

It's three years between the years of 15-21 and Jones kicked about north East England and first, moving to Killie at 21/ 22.

It's a total minefield though! Been stung with it many times on football manager haha.

So either way
Jones out and as such only allowed to have 21 players
It if he included some more home grown players we could have 25 in squad is that right?

No thestig. The 4 spaces left are unfilled by home trained quota. If u don't have them u go without, I think.

We could have had four more if all were home grown or if eight overall in the squad we are allowed to have 25. Reduces by one for each homegrown missing from eight.
