There is nothing morally wrong with it at all. It doesn't suit you and your club, that's all there is to it, nothing to do with morals at all.

If you are an RFL member club and denied your place in it even when finishing the Champions of the league below then morally it is wrong.

Spot on Robin. When you feel like something is not right you need to protest and not attending the world cup or watch SL games is the only few options we have.

But if and when Fev do make the SL - I assume you won't be watching as you have morals and the SL concept is morally wrong?

Well no - not if they are not the rules.

Its not rocket science, pal. ...though it might seem it to you.

Did not expect anything else from you to be honest.

Obviousley responding with stupid games or bible quotes is all that you are limted to unfortunately. Never mind.

And people wonder why this great game doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

I will watch my club in any League that they compete in. However I will carry on my protest until P&R is restored and the RFL care about all member clubs. We have also earned the right to play in the elite league by winning the Championship along with Fax and Sheffield. Unlike some of the clubs who have just been placed.

Double standards then.

Ok tomorrow the government legalises robbing houses and looting. If I took part would I be moraly wrong?

There is nothing wrong with just supporting your club. Or would you prefer they stopped doing this altogether and the clubs go under? That would really increase the recognition RL gets.

No not at all, we have earned our right. What I wouldn't do is sit back in the SL and abuse people from the lower leagues who feel like boycotting SL and the World Cup because P&R isn't in place.

yup!
Whinge? Yes!
Morngy about tge game? Yes.
Disatisfied? Yes
Protest vociferously? Yes

I have flaws. Repeat - I expect no-one to follow suit.
It is my stand.

Don't see it as a big deal. In the greater scheme of things ill have little/no impact. C'est la vie!

It's not a half-decent comparison so I won't bother responding to that one.

The fact is that it is the rules of the game. You may not like the rules, but that does not make them immoral.

Bang on. I have an idea for all these Leeds, Wire, Wigan and Saints fans and whoever posts on here about loving the game. Why not instead of watching your own team, travel down to London more often so that their gates increase. If you love the game that much London will thrive, it might mean that your club can no longer sustain the team you currently watch but what the hell, its for the good of the game.

You say you boycott SL then say you would watch your club play in it ,to me that's double standards.
Do you think that most people who watch SL only have the interests of their own club and not the game as a whole.

[Ian (Pencil) Elliott]

That is your opinion, mine differs. The rules are morally wrong and you can go on about the rules as much as you like. You might think I am a thick flat capper but I understand the rules perfectley. They are just wrong.

Most clubs are going to the wall anyway,so much for the people who love the game.What ticks me off is the attitude of so called fans that criticise the game and only complain.

Well no - if he doesn't watch SL because he has morals and it is an immoral comp - then surely if he starts to watch it he is losing his morals?

Do you not realise that some of us do watch other clubs ,we are not as blinkered as you think.

No I think that they care about the game but as long as their club is part of it as well.

For example if your team were booted out of the League in favor of a fast tracked club and denied a fair way back in do you honestly believe that the opinions would be the same. Your answer will without a doubt be yes but it's easy to say yes when you are part of the 'big boys'.
