What’s the story at London Skolars?

[RP London 2,303]

has someone been deleting NorthWest Academies posts? if so well done but bit surprised they have gone, they are rubbish but didnt think they were breaking any rules.

[fighting irish 1,063]

Well if he's not been breaking any rules, we need some new ones. Racism should be disallowed for a start. Just because Welsh people are white doesn't mean his remarks are not racist. They are also deliberately offensive not accidentally. Try this on for size. What if he d said we should stop playing against Papua New Guinea, because they are nothing but a backward country? He makes me sick to my stomach.

Probably although I suspect this may not be an issue. I’d be happy for another 270.

270 in total would be a start

 I suggest you take what the website says with a pinch of salt. Your teams under 16 turned up to Saint Albans at the weekend with seven players having already defaulted one game and won by default in another. I know everybody is trying hard in London junior league but let’s get the facts straight.

   I received an email,this pm,offering a half price ticket for the North Wales Crusaders game on 11th May - despite not following NWC nor going to the London Series(?)

   Better than repeated emails from Bradford after purchasing a ticket online.

U20s played mostly 17 year olds and drew away at West London, U13s played & minis had first session as well. 16s we won the comp only losing one game last year. This years it's harder as many staying away until after GCSEs. Personally think it should be U15s and 17s to avoid exams. Think our 16s will struggle for a few more weeks but bodies starting to come back

Strength of our juniors is pretty much evidenced by a good chunk in our first team squad, Broncos 1st team/19s/16s, other SL & Championship teams. Pretty proud of all that tbh. don't think there are many pro clubs doing that.

i'm certainly not wanting to have an argument with you on this one, nor am i upset that he has been deleted/posts been deleted or whatever has happened to him but he was having a right pop at everyone and everything that wasnt the panacea of big cities with lots of cash.. he was having a go at different times at all "backwards" places including the north of england.. for backwards read small and not oozing with wealth.

I dont believe he was being in anyway racist or even prejudicial against the Welsh he was just being a c*ckwomble of the highest order.. 

[fighting irish 1,063]

Cockwomble. That's a new one on me. I like it. You learn something new every day.

it ranks up there with w*nkpuffin and b*llend for me... for people not even worthy of being something worse they are just an annoying niggling irrelevance that pops up every so often..

 

edit: cockwomble gets through the sweary filter but b*llend doesnt that makes it my new definite favourite!

Mmm cockwomble could well become everyone's favourite word!

Not having a pop IM as I know hard it is and how hard you guys work, but to take the strength of a clubs juniors based on the spin of a web site  ..... going 16s and not 15s and 17s is a short sighted by the LJL Board. But lets be honest you aren't the only club to be struggling for juniors in London as the 50-0 and 24-0 will testify.
