You are completely missing my point mate...

I'm not saying that we should be continuing to discuss this one point rather that we should be able to discuss other points or anything that we so choose.. whether it is regarding Celtic or not..
I am opposing the point that if there is anything news worthy relating to Celtic that we are not allowed to mention it.
I am saying that if a story should break, lets say as an example, that Samuels has quit or the club are warned by the RFL or anything.. that we should be able to voice our opinion without being told that we should keep our mouths shut on the matter.
It's a messageboard and a place for expressing opinion.

Again I reiterate that I don't really have time for people goading fans on their own boards.. I simply don't believe there should be pressure to not discuss topical things...

Maybe I am missing the point.........I am just jealous that nobody blames London for anything anymore...it's always Celtic this and Crusaders that......nobody gives us a hard time anymore


Of course anything that is newsworthy should be posted but as it's school holidays, 95% of the posts are utter 5hite and repetative................

The blame lies at rfl door not celtic. celtic should have stayed down a few more years to get their house in order. if we blame the rfl on here people either think we are bitter like leigh(who have the right to be bitter) or we are going to wreck the next bid by blaming the rfl.
rant over, all we can do is keep our own house in order and hope we get in next time.

Well said Meatball.

You Cone

can I have a flake with that

Well said phil clarke, but nothing will done because if the rfl admit all this their whole structure will collapse like a house of cards and a lot clubs will be asking a lot of questions and maybe even consider legal action.

Jesus wept....I really can't wait til you lot go back to school.
Lets see......you launch an action against the rfl....you win and get £1,000,000 in damages....then rot in Champ 1 for the rest of your life.....
Good call

You lot might get think this sort condescending mockery is acceptable on the VT, but you're on our board now, so kindly wind your neck in and allow people their opinion without looking down your nose at them please.

The avatar is a bit of a wind up towards those people who think the views of a few Widnes fans is representative of all Widnes fans. It is surprising how many braindead barstewards on the VT cannot differentiate between individual viewpoints.

Did you notice the mods merged my thread questioning the RFL ' s Integrity , so it dissapeared into a Hull/KR bitchfest

When I put it on again as it's point had been lost in thread drift it was once again removed

It would seem criticism of the RFL is not allowed on there anymore

They're corrupted by the mighty message board powers that they yield





Freedom of speech, just watch what you say...

I was neither mocking or condescending...I simply pointed out that any legal action would, regardles of the outcome, ensure that the plaintiffs would never see SL Rugby.

My we are honoured.The Bronco fan gracing us with his presence.
Your'e not suggesting that the RFL would take revenge on any club taking legal action against them by punishing them with exclusion from SL,even if they met the criteria are you.Tut,tut.They wouldn't stoop to that level.

The RFL will do as they please. It puzzles me when fans act suprised when the RFL ride roughshod........it has always been the way and especially sice SKY came to the rescue.
Any attempt to sue the RFL would probably result in a/ Lawyers making money and b/ the demise of the plantiff club(s).
Let's face it, if a club was to go down this route, they would have to remain squeaky clean thereafter......1 false move or a slight break of rules and the RFL would come down on them like a ton of bricks.
A perfect example is the (rumoured) instruction by the RFL to the SL chairmen that they should vote to accept our solution to the finacial problems we had in 2005.

To which our then but now late great chairman, Tony Chambers did the right thing and abstained and saved your sorry asses.

Correct....and a very generous gesture this was considering you went down that year....one of the reasons I have a real soft spot for Widnes.

Hmmmm!

Serious......Widnes are my second team and that is one of the reasons. Your fans are always spot on, whether travelling down here or up at your place and your club dealt with the licencing thing very well......great club and a credit to the game.

I sincerely with draw my Hmmmm! then Gutterfax.

It's just that it seems we have all been tarred with the same 'bitter brush' on this site and maybe we treat any 'outsider' as any self respecting flatcapper should



.

Which is exactly the reason they should walk over the Visa affair

If they are willing to cheat in the way they have done they should not be in charge of our sport

Ignore the tax dodgers mate! If the RL mob aren't cheating on the tax, the RU shower are cheating on the pitch. They're in no position to look down their nose at anyone else.

They will take notice of Gateshead though as surely they are the "new garlic bread " are they not?
