...... leave then.
This site is a League site. The only reason there is a Union forum is that the the managers in their wisdom knew that a lot of the Kiwi League fans had a passing interest if not love of the great game of Rugby Union as well.
Therefore they set up the forum so people could talk about Union not put down the other code. It's unfortunete that the both of you are resorting to this like a certain few idiot League only supporters.
If you want to talk up Union fine. But be warned now if you continue put down the great game of Rugby League I am not even going to bother to split your posts from the thread I will simply delete them.
Giday Te Kaha,
Is this directed at myself? Perhaps it would be better if you mentioned who it is directed at.
As this is the Union section, I don't see what your problem is.
Have I gone to any League threads and denounced the code there? No.
Have I had to put up with posters from the League threads putting down the "great game" of Union? Most definately!
Have you, Te Kaha, threatened any of these posters with the same threat that you have leveled at myself? NO!!
I think you would find, if you bothered to read through my posts in the short time that I have posted here, that the majority are thought out, reasoned posts. That don't deserve the seemingly biased discrimination that you are aiming at myself, whilst others have posted blatant inflammatory posts designed simply to get a rise.
May I remind you of your very first post to me........
I didn't think it was possible I was sure they didn't exist. But there you have it ladies and gentlemen..... In one post this pillick has proved the existince of the Sterotypical Union snob.
It is truly a sad day for all those who follow the game of Union on this forum.
First Mango and now this moron. WHERE WILL IT END??????
And this was in response to this...............my very first post here...........
Hi Joker.
Obviously this is a wind-up, but simply couldn't resist
To compare the last RLWC to the RWC is so ludicrous. The Lebanese team was full of Campsie boys out for a laugh, and not a serious proposition as a team. Remember seeing a programme on the telly over here (England) at the time about the Lebanese team, and they all had the strongest Aussie accents. The programme then went to Lebanon, yep, you guessed it, they'd never heard of the game, let alone who the hell the players were! The New Zealand Maori team was simply the reserve team for the Kiwi firsts. My point is, they were simply there to make up the numbers, in a competition that there was only ever going to be one winner. Australia! The poms haven't really competed against us for a long time now. Even the Kiwi's are only second rate, as Union is completely dominant in their country.
Rugby Union on the other hand has 94 countries registered with the IRB. None of these are made-up teams by the way. Admittedly, the greater majority of these are playing at amateur level. This is changing though. When you consider that the top countries have only turned Pro in the last 10 years or so, the profile on the world stage still eclipses anything that League has done. How many years now has League been Professional? And what exactly has it done to expand the game on a world-wide basis? A little embarrassing when you think of it in that light, isn't it?
Anyway, lets see if you can manage an intelligent come back.
Cheers, Skip.
Since that post, if you bothered to read the rest of the thread, you'd find that I backed up my comments with reasoned explainations. But of course, if you feel the need to delete my posts, then by all means carry on. But coming from someone who actually started a thread called "Lets bag the crap out of Union Thread" and then stick it to the top of the Forum!! Before you start, yes I have read it, but you are obviously not averse to telling people that they should pull their head in, so I think that this is what you should do instead of instigating a topic that is obviously odious.
So what's it to be Te Kaha? Will you delete this and carry on with your double standards. Or will you admit that you are wrong in this instance, and we can start again??
I await your answer eagerly.
Cheers, Skip.
