| Quote ="Barry_McKenzie"On a serious note here for a minute.
GB is chockers with illegal immigrants.
If you arrive here and say that someone back in your home country is trying to kill you then there is a very very good chance that you will be granted political asylum and find yourself open to the bounty of benefits that the UK has to offer. Some (and I stress not all) illegal immigrants are responsible for a lot of crime...muggings...robberies....burglaries...thefts.
Yet 6 men (from a Commonwealth country) who have reasonably well paid jobs, pay their taxes and lead what I would imagine to be law abiding lives are told to leave the country by September the 7th and cannot appeal until after that date.
Three of them have been living here and paying taxes for about 3 years!!!
I actually quite envy them in a way. They have earned a living playing a bit of footy and they get a free plane ticket home. I will have to buy mine!!
But I still think it's wrong.
Thoughts??'"
Hurry up and get it bought then.

A little unfair to compare something as intelligent as a fish to Barry.

A hundred plus years and you've not once topped that figure at The Shay this season, even against other aspirant SL clubs from the heartlands.
CC can sustain a business with TV money. Sky want them because Welsh union fans take a passing interest in CC games, so Sky sells more adspace on hte back of a bigger TV audience. Or: put it another way... Leigh, Fax, Widnes, don't add a single viewer to the Sky audience, whereas CC do. That's why they are in SL in the first place.
I have criticised the franchise process extensively, and I'm a firm believer in P&R, but your simple economics are simply wrong.'"
your attendance figs above mean very little (no promotion for 3yrs puts fans off blah blah bla....) but I guess you know that.
As for economics, would you invest in a CC franchise?
You wouldn't get up the stairs in dragons den, and if you did prophetus would laugh at you.

| They were staying and working in the country illegally, hardly what I call law abiding.
The more right wing amongst us (which I am most definately not) might even say they've been denying the opportunity for a British player to earn a living in Super League through their illegal employment.
What i'm trying to say is the law of the land is the law of the land regardless of whether you're a farm labourer earning minimum wage, or a professional sportsman earning a £1500 a week.
I'm afraid they have to go.

| celtic will and should stay the course of the franchise, as unfair as it seemed to other clubs in the NRL for them to be admitted into the super league in the first place, it would also be unfair for them to be rejected so soon without at least staying the full distance,
I originally would of like to see them earn their way into SL as I am old fashioned beliefs that the relation /promotion should still exist,
but it would be stupidity to allow the club to dropped because of this fiasco, unfair to the fans especially as they have done nothing wrong and have fetch nothing but welcome to the SL
an extension to the league would be far better but then it would accommodate all the clubs that are push for the next franchise,
I can only hope that your club recovers for the next season and continues it upwards development

Never.
Have you missed a zero or two off?
They must have all been KR fans in that case.

'Portugese love the Brits'
They don't. Trust me!!
They see the Brits the same way as the rest of Europe does.
But thats another topic for another day for another forum.
When I travel in europe I am staggered at the anti English feeling from your European brothers and sisters. It's a shame.
I have had people pretend not to speak English when I've been in several Euro countries...clearly they mistakenly think I'm English. Portugal being one of the biggest culprits.
Yet when I tell them I'm Australian its strange how they suddenly seem to speak English almost perfectly. Your Euro neighbours and Aussies seem to share a common dislike of the Pommies!!

| I've been to Wales 3 times and always enjoyed it. The Welsh are decent enough people. They don't really like RL, but hey you can't have it all.
3 of us are travelling up to South Wales on Friday, we are having 2 nights in Cardiff, 2 of us will check out the Crusaders game.
I will give you a totally unbiased and truthful account of how I saw the match.
Barry McKenzies prediction???
Celtic 6 Leeds 42

| Be told for once Barry by people who might just know a subject better than you. We are welcomed by the Portuguese indeed 40% of the people living in the Algarve are British. These people are welcomed by the Portuguese.
Now where we may well agree is concerning the yobs and low life who jet into Albufeira intent on getting stoned for a fortnight. They are not welcome anywhere in the World.

| I find it pathetic that due to the bitterness of a certain fan, he/she has decided to try and badmouth the crusaders in several threads. Only to find that the majority of SUPERLEAGUE fans actually
a) doesn't give two flying s
b) Actually feel sorry for the crusaders fans
c) Want the crusaders to get out of this mess and become a well respected side in superleague
As shown multiple times by retards on this forum, the minority are trying to talk for the majority. One day you will realise that there is more to life that sitting behind a shield of anonymity bad mouthing fans. Whats worse is that that said fan is probably of the age of 14-18 and has nothing better to do. Probably of the loner type, and this is his big thrill on weekends! Yay Go you!
I would like to thank the majority of superleague fans for not being lulled into this stupidty and to the majority of widness fans, grow up or shut up. The crusaders will pull themselfs out of this mess. The crusaders fans, allthough there may not be many of them, are loyal to the bitter end. They have been lied too by their own Team management, had to support a team that has struggled to even compete at the required level, has an abundance of fans abusing them and the team they support, have had a team go through turmoil and yet they will still turn up to the games. They will still travel the 400+ miles for every away game in the season, Sing louder as a group of 20, than a stadium of 5000. Bring more and more fans every week to the games and STILL! act as one of the friendliest fanbases around.
So before you start shouting your mouth of again Barry and the rest of the widness haters of the crusaders . Remember your place. Remember that you were beaten out by a lowly welsh team. Remember that your team has gone through turnmoil also, that the future looked very bleak for a long time amongst your fans. Did you recieve any abuse from other teams? no, did you pull yourself back together? yes? So start acting like responsible fans to your own club. You only give your own club a bad reputation.
