Shocked! : Sun Aug 23, 2009 5:37 pm  

Anybody listen to GMR this afternoon? Jack Dearden was very scathing of the RFL regarding the Celtic farce, unfortunately everybody missed the point, SKY pull the strings, no one else, not even the RFL.

The silence from other clubs indicates to me that they have been warned - keep your mouth shut if you want to keep eating from the top table, or else.....

At least Phil Clarke asked the right questions on Boots 'n' all - unlike his two mates.....

Not like GMR to tell it how it is! I was shocked.

I think we need to banish certain posters to that thread and leave them to continuously boil themselves to death. Just leave us out of it. I can understand threads on the bigger issues but this?

Let them get on with it. The RFL made their bed, now they're lying in it. Until they come flatcap in hand we'll just have to enjoy what we've got now.

No franchises and get pomotion and relegation for all teams.No cap etc then we wont hear whinging on unfairness.

I agree.

They will soon dissolve like an Andrews liver salt, like every other known expansion venture so far.

I want it to continue to the extent that Lewis and Co follow them down the pan.

Its a farce, bent mockery, but I cannot help chuckling each time I think about it.

Both Celtic and the RFL got what they deserved!!

We've had it for the past 3, what's another 2? It's like a prison term....

My club Leigh got slaughtered for putting its head above the parapet and saying the Celtic Franchise was wrong on many levels, Widnes took the route of saying nothing and appeasing the RFL to help their chances next time around.

Which club was right I'm not sure, but if more clubs would of stood alongside Leigh we might not be in this position of fear that permeates the game at present.

Free speech should be allowed with no penalties if you go against the flow but unfortunately unity is replaced by self interest today.

The difference my dear friend is that in doing what you did when you did it.. you simply looked like sore losers. At that time there was little other than a sickly feeling in the stomach to suggest that Celtic were worthy winners once some of the media and the RFL bandwagon had finished. We all knew it was baloney but we didn't have the proof.

Now however the vapour thin promises and assurances given by the Crusaders are evaporating around them and everyone can see what the real situation looks like. I'm glad that we took the stance that we did. I think we will profit from it and I expect the club to remain dignified over this.
