Noel Gallagher has rejected his brother Liam Gallagher's olive branch to reunite Oasisin 2015 for the 20th anniversary of '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?'. 

The band's ex-guitarist said his brother was welcome to go ahead and play their seminal album in its entirety, but said he would have no involvement in it. 

Gallagher told BBC Newsbeat: "He's got my permission to go and play it. He can play it if he wants. I don't mind. I left that band for a reason and that reason still stands."

Despite recently launching legal action against his brother, Liam said if the pair could put "their shit aside" he would consider playing their seminal album in its entirety. Noel also admitted previously that he may have been too hasty quittingOasis and he would have love to have toured their 1995 album again.

Meanwhile, the ex-Oasis chief also revealed that he knew about The Stone Roses reunion for some time. "We'd known for a while and were sworn to secrecy," he told The Daily Star. "It's great for the fans and for them and nice feeling just to see them together after so long. I love them as friends and as a band.

He added: "They've been split for 15 years, we split up 15 minutes ago. We're all waiting for The Smiths to do it. They say it won't happen but they said the same about the Roses."

Argentina striker Lionel Messi has said the entire squad wants Oasis to reform to play a "celebration party" for them if they win the World Cup.

Messi says he has become obsessed with Oasis since teammate Carlos Tevez, (who plays for Manchester City, Noel and Liam Gallagher's club) forced him to listen to the band ahead of the competiton, reports The Sun.

"Ever since he has been playing inManchester, Carlitos has told me how great Oasis was. I kept promising I would listen to them, but I never got round to it," Messiexplained.

"On the plane on the way to the World Cup Carlitos made me listen to their first two albums. I have to say I wasn't expecting much but it is some of the best material I have ever heard. They are absolutely amazing. Their songs are incredible. I would have to say 'Supersonic'and 'Live Forever' are my favourites. I have been listening to their stuff on my iPod dock in the hotel room, on the way to the matches and in the dressing room. I can't believe it's taken me all this time to finally listen to them."

Messi added that initially he didn't realise the band were no longer together.

"I've been watching their live performances on YouTube and they look like they'd be amazing to see in concert. I asked Carlitos if we could go and see them in Manchester orLondon in concert, but he told me they have split up," Messi said.

He then added that the team have pledged to get the Gallaghers to put aside their differences should they win the competition – even asking them to "name their price" to reform.

"I showed the rest of the boys in the Argentina squad their stuff and I promise you, everybody absolutely loves it. A few knew a couple of their songs but for most of them it was their first listen. We have agreed that if we win the World Cup we want to fly them over to Argentina for our celebration party. We just need them to name their price."

Messi may face some competition though, as Noel Gallagher recently claimed he was Italy's lucky mascot when the country won the last World Cup in 2006.
