Jersey couldn't - it operates almost as a national side (the team we played in a friendly 4 years ago was a Jersey FA XI) and there are several clubs playing on the island. They couldn't "qualify" for this competition because Jersey isn't a club side that plays in or could possibly be promoted to any of the leagues whose teams are invited to this cup. Guernsey would need several promotions but the path is open to them! I think that's right anyway, happy to be corrected otherwise. You would have been right until very recently, but once Jersey's bid to become fully fledged members of UEFA/FIFA was declined (on the basis that the rules had changed, if they'd applied at the same time as Gibraltar they'd have been in the club) they decided they wanted to play competitive league football. They applied to join the Combined Counties League and they're currently top of Division 1.

Jersey Bulls started playing in the English pyramid this season. jerseyeveningpost.com/sport/football/2018/09/21/jersey-fc-to-enter-uk-league/

Literally the post before your reply I acknowledged the correction and admitted you were correct. Might help to read a thread before replying to it!

Re-read the thread just in case I inadvertently missed something, but no, sallycat couldn't have been more good-natured and civil in her responses if she tried. Absolutely nothing to justify davethegrave's extraordinary outburst. Poor show.

But maybe you should check your facts before slagging someone off. Oh, I would do if I were actually going to slag someone off. Or, indeed, if I were going to accuse them of slagging someone off. What are you talking about Dave? I have to stand by that comment though. Forums do get a bit tedious to read if they're full of posts going over what's already been said because the poster hasn't bothered reading the thread they're replying to.

She was already corrected on this. Do try and keep up! Bearing in mind Dave had been incorrectly corrected initially and then it was found he was correct all along, I am not sure he's the only one who needs to keep up!! Jersey's decision to join The Pyramid had been well documented over the summer.

Jersey's decision to join The Pyramid had been well documented over the summer. Is that the case? Someone saying happy to be corrected because they were not 100% sure, to which they were wrong and gave credit to that fact. Obviously Jersey's decision has been as well documented as you imply because not everyone reads the NLP week in week out.

The word "initially" is the key here.
Get of the guy's back. He was right.
NLP, internet - pretty well documented.

You're very welcome to do a search for Jersey FA or Jersey Bulls FC on the internet and see how many relevant results you get. He was right, it was instantly acknowledged. He then tried to correct without bothering to read the retraction. He was alerted to that fact.
