that's not protecting one's heritage, that's living in the past. what's done is done, you can't control that. you can control the future, however

I think maybe having banners at the RLWC regarding the Vichy treatment might be a better idea. But I would support the idea of getting something on the box in the background at the rah rah final. Go for it.

So damn predictable... first the trolling.. then the abuse... then the abusive PM's... you follow the same formula every time... what a poor life you lead.

Sorry. You've got it wrong. Again.

1. You are the troll. This is a rugby league web-site. Crawl back to the union forum.

2. If "abuse" is pointing out your obvious deficiencies, I'm guilty.

3. I haven't sent you a PM in years. You've sent me as many as I've sent you.

4. I'll take my life over yours any day. At least I get paid above award wage.

He likes his little fence around his union hole.

I was sworn off from entering the union forum by moderators years ago because he couldn't handle the heat in the kitchen.

Te Kaha to Mods - "Oh, please, please, please, keep Calixte out of the union forum. He uses facts to back up his arguments. I'm defenceless." :lol:

Yes. And hopefully the future will involve proper recognition and compensation.

That's so wrong on so many levels. As if the world operates like that: what happened in hte past should be forgotten and stay in the past!! Grow up, that's not how it happens in the real world.

And how is it not protecting our heritage. Part of league's heritage is the institutionalised victimisation from RU, and no where has that been more pronounced than in France, so ipso facto not forgetting about the treizistes torrid past is indeed protecting our heritage.

I believe the benefactors of Vichy, the French yawnion team :evil: will be touring New Zealand next month. So perhaps our Kiwi cuz's :cool: could make a statement outside one of the test matches. You'd think it would at least attract some media interest.

I am not a troll.. have never trolled... you still cant find a single post of mine where i have OR ever said one disparaging thing about League... you are obsessed with calling everybody trolls...

Calixte said:

No abuse is petty name calling... something you do with almost all of your posts... and it seems most of your posts are abusing others... hardly anything is constructive to rugby league...

Sending abuseive PM'S then lying about it????????? if it was just me you were denying sending them to, maybe believable, but its not....... sad... very very sad...

Calixte said:

Which would show how smart you really are... what "award wage" would that be... and here is a hint... there are no "award wages" if you aren't part of a collective bargaining agreement.... but since you claim to be a lawyer you would already know that.

Can you post anything that contains truth?????

You were banned for abusing an admin... nothing to do with me... you were let back in ONLY because the moderator YOU cried to said you could make a positive contribution to the international forum... since then by far, most of your posts have been in the fight club OR as in this case abusing others and hijacking threads... just like you did in this thread...

Quite disagree. Lots of people know, lots of people care, and the rah rahs would like nothing better than this episode in history to be forgotten about. It's part of our heritage and we should protect it.

Undoubtedly, but is paying hundreds of dollars for a ticket, if you can find one to buy, then trying to storm the pitch the best way to bring it to light? with the amount of security they will have in place is unlikely they would make the pitch anyway...

Taking the moral high ground involves acting lawfully, banners outside the final, getting infront of the international press LAWFULLY, that will do more good then a footnote in a story about some idiot "fan" who tried unsuccessfully to storm the pitch... Using next years RLWC has already been suggested... the international press will be looking for League related stories... an organised group of fans trying to bring past injustices to light will win more hearts and minds then "terrorist" type activities... you are in Australia not the middle east.

I believe the best opportunity to enlightening the public on this issue will be the RLWC in Oz. In the lead up to the RLWC, I would like to see some TV ads that give a few highlights and history of RL in each of the competing nations.

For example, if Wales make the cup, some old WC highlights, a few fade-ins on Welsh greats such as Davies/Sullivan etc followed up by a few WC2000 highlights and some highlights of there key players in action.

Of course there will be a short ad that focusses on France. This is where we present the issue as part of an historical account not a whinge. The voiceover will just need to explain how RL thrived in France until WW2 until it was banned by government decree under the influence of shady RU aligned members of the puppet Regime. Then explain how RL in France rose from the ashes to hold the first "rugby" World cup in 1954. COntinue with something like "still without it's stadia, money and other assets seized in WW2, RL battled on, retaining a large number of passionate players and fans etc etc". you get the idea! The article could finish off with a quick blurb on the success of Catalans and a few quick highlights from a Catalans or French elite game.

I beleive we would be better off lobbying with the ARL to push for these types of Ads in the lead up to the RLWC, and then push for this type of content to be included in the French ad. It could even be incorporated into a "history of the RLWC" type of ad.

I believe this would open alot of peoples eyes to the issue in an informative and mature manner.

No, that's a stupid idea. I never agreed with it in the first place. But if someone did it at the RUWC final I'd bloody well cheer and raise a glass to them as heroes of RL....

1. Do you need a "My pro-rugby league thread" (like Thomas) to finally understand you are a troll? :lol:

2. Start listing your positive rugby league contributions. :lol:

3. When was the last PM I sent you, scrubber? I stand by what I said earlier.

4. Claim to be a lawyer? :lol: Heard of a colloquialism? :lol: Or would you like a lecture on industrial relations law?

Am I banned from your precious union forum? Answer yes or no, scrubber.

How am I to know the inner workings of the web-site other than that I was banned from your little union hole. That was surely at your behest. Was it not?

Can I help it if others vouch for my contributions?

Back to the topic.

Why limit ourselves to one or the other?

Any move not harming another person should be applauded.

Streakers and people invading playing fields are hardly new. This is only a variation on that theme.

I imagine a concerted campaign would like to use every available tactic... ;-)

Mate, that is exactly how it should happen.

You are one of us, don't go over the top, but let history speak for itself.

Anyone out there in channel 9 land, this is what we want. :thumn

Go on then... the posts are there... they have always been there… and how about starting one that has my “anti-rugby league posts”… it will be a lot shorter, try non existent… but all it will prove is that you are obsessed with calling people trolls… when this thread clearly shows YOU are the troll here…

Calixte said:
2. Start listing your positive rugby league contributions.
over 20 years playing League for Randwick, Marist Northern, Parramatta… 8 years coaching Junior league while my son played… organising committee for 12 years with Randwick, fund raising and running the club… that’s just for starters.. ALL a matter of public record… all you have to do is look… Now what are YOUR “your positive rugby league contributions”? other than being a keyboard hero?

Calixte said:
3. When was the last PM I sent you, scrubber? I stand by what I said earlier.
Funny how, what’s the total now 4? People have said you have sent them abusive PM’s and each time you have denied it…

Calixte said:
4. Claim to be a lawyer? Heard of a colloquialism? Or would you like a lecture on industrial relations law?
Yes please explain how apparently I only earn “award” wages… you would undoubtedly be wrong… but will be fun to read no doubt…

Calixte said:

This from miss I didn’t send abusive PM’s… Hello Mr Pot… here is Mr Kettle…

There is nobody banned from the Union forum.. as long as you follow the rules your posts will be left alone… just like anybody else

Again with the lies… You were banned form the ENTIRE website for abusing an Admin by PM and in the open forum… nothing at all to do with me… however I did laugh when it was posted in the mods forum that you were…

Calixte said:

Yes the whinging whining emails did tug at his heart strings to allow you back in… except he was wrong.. as most of your posts are in the fight club not the international forum…

1. Care factor zero, troll.
2. Over 20 years playing, coaching, loving, etc.
3. Examples? Define abusive.
4. You earn bugger all. :lol: (And put $2,000 in my trust account...)
5. Rest = snore.
