To design?

[JohnM]

Beat me to it. Design?

Too... much... rage... for... spelling...!

[Dave T]

Why do we always get the simpletons representing 'the fans' with these petitions?

[Moove]

I think you should design from the forum for that

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Thanks, I needed a good laugh!

[Cumbrian Fanatic]

Just had a look at the link and while the headline is spelt correctly and calls on them to resign, in the text Brian Barwick is referred to as "Brain" - No he's not! there isn't one between them after this decision

[CanaBull]

An hour in and the petitioner himself still represents 50% of those signing.  Going to be a popular one this!  

[Futtocks]

Two signatures. So, the originator and... who?

Ralph Rimmer, he thought they should design the RFL.

[westside]

Brain design now!

What's more important, a supposedly spelling mistake or the future of the game?Here we have a guy trying to do something about it and all you can do is make a joke of it, can't even be bothered to sign the  petition.Yet your the first to complain about the state of the game.

Getting things right is important whether you're the RFL cocking up on a range of issues or an angry fan making a point that people are angry. Come across like a hothead who makes basic - easily identifiable and correctable - errors and you are much, much easier to ignore.

EDIT

I'm aware of the irony of this post featuring a double quote of the post it's replying to.

At least the person wants to do something rather than moan on a forum .

They are moaning on a petition instead.

[Oxford]

I signed and I expect the usual trying to change the world  but no one turned up.

There is no 'At least he is doing something'when that thing is pants. It is so useless people won't sign it and give the impression that people don't feel like this.

'At least he is doing something' could be used as a defence for Rimmer also.

I wrote 'Rimmer out' on my bathroom wall in pee water. 

About as effective. And I got the spelling right.

Things like this petition are easy to dismiss because of the errors. Read some of the other petitions on there for good examples, this joker wrote 11 lines filled with vague complaints and typos.

Any fight will be lost because of divisions, lack of will, my typing fingers are sore, I need a cup of tea  and there's something good on't tele tonight.

Ok I understand, but try understand people are passionate about our game and may not express that too well. The banks will probably pull the plug on the RFL because I can see nothing but losses ahead

Rimmer gets paid 250k a year plus benefits , maybe he has inherited a broken business model from Woods: either way the game and the RFL are in a mess and the game needs solutions and quick

The trouble is by not signing it Rimmer can then use it as a defence by saying no one agrees to it.

Yep, that is my point. But people won't sign this. If it was a well articulated petition with some facts and stuff in about the Catalans bond etc I'd expect it to do ok.

Why don’t you start one then?
