Correct!
Keep quiet, concentrate on winning the double and IF you get asked to join the top table, do it with manners.

....right, over to see the shambles that is the [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=425718leeeeeeeeeeeigh[/url board

It's a shame for RL in Wales that the locals cannot run a SL club.

Sort of expected it.


I think we need to know the part the RFL played in all of this. Surely they must be complicit? They allowed them to be registered and played in an RL competition illegally. So they are either corrupt or incompetent.

I feel sorry for the Celtic fans - well some of them anyway - but the finger needs pointing firmly at the RFL for this mess imo.

No point even talking about it, shock horror another f*ck up from them. But if we talk about it, it will suddenly become a story about how 'happy' we are, rather than about the errors of Celtic. Feel sorry for the fans, but the club have had it coming.

Have to admit, I love saying "I told you so".

[u[size=200We all told you so![/size[/u

Celtic have fans?

yep they do. And with dix like you, they will get more. As I said above, accept it with dignity and do what you have to do. DO NOT GLOAT (accept dalton who can't help himself) and concentrate on winning your division!

I've had my moment, but seriously, who are you or anyone else to tell us how to behave?

There are tons of other fans talking about this all over the place, it's big news. Why should we be exempt? We've been drawn into the discussion, can't expect us all to just ignore it. Why should other fans be allowed to chat about it and not us?

What I meant was accept this with the same dignity that your chairman/ceo accepted the initial decision. Widnes got a lot of sympathy from fans across the board.......leigh on the other hand got nothing except what they deserved. Celtic may well survive this.....and two more years of bitterness isn't what your club, players or fans deserve.
Keep the faith!

OK fine, a shame for their fans, but nowt to do with us. Nothing to see as far as I am concernd. Next?....

You wont get much more bitterness around here.

There are one or two fans who insist on going on all the rival boards bringing this up and it frustrates me that these somehow reflect on all of us but that's another story.

And you only have to look at the VT, "I wonder what widnes fans will think of this" etc etc. We're damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Yeah we should discuss this, but not get our hopes up for some sort of license off the back of it. To be honest, it might stuff us up. Most players have been bought for next season in SL, we'd essentially have one season where we are crippled and then one season alone to make an impact. It might not be enough, and people would be judging us from the very start.

But it does go to show how useless he RFL are and inconsistent too. We've all seen how difficult it is for clubs down here to get australian players, and we have a much smaller quota from the offset.

well said that man

Agreed...(

)
I would think that IF you were invited to the top table, you would get a 5 yr licence....and be given time to prove what you can do.....but until it happens, keep your dignity and your powder dry!!

Don't sound so surprised. I'm brilliant, me.

I'm just sitting back loving every minute of this, but it's like a couple of people said, let's concentrate on Widnes and Widnes only, let's all get there and back them against Whitehaven, and for the rest of the play offs

I don't see how that could happen?

FWIW, if Widnes get back into SL at the next round of franchises, I will be delighted, genuinley.

You should be placed in the Super League now,this is a disgrace and you have been stitched right up from the start!
I'm a diehard Saints fan and Widnes have alot of friends in our little part of Lancashire

im sure alot of celtic fans agree with you, i certainly do. we werent ready and this have proven it.

If you boys can keep your support up you'll still have a solid basis for a club, yes maybe not SL standard as yet but something that can be built upon

I dont really want them back down with us if there are going to be salary cap and quota issues again
