Hey it was all good, we got two wins that night iirc

Yes, but you only managed to score 4 tries against no opposition.

Did Toronto still owe Salford money for the O'Brien transfer, or was that settled?

Just asking.

It was only 3, we kept taking the 2 actually.

That says several  things you  had little confidence even when't committee were commited to you and the virtual ref was one of a small number of candidates and clearly  bent.

Even with a fictitious game you are arguing against the penalties

Not me even in a virtual game my team will come back at you, they have to play you and the ref and in case you haven't noticed the whistle's not gone yet!

Sorry morning Prof T I hope you're well.

My fellow SRD fan Oxford is much more imaginative than that. He is actually disappointed that you didn't take the dg when it was 0-0.

 

Sorry Spidey. Only just spotted your dg reference.

What about the money they didn't pay to their creditors? Does that matter?

We are talking about a different issue here.

And this is what people, especially those with an axe to grind, like to ignore.

The truth is this year, of all years, the RFL doesn't need to act like it's got something stuck up its bum.

I forgot to mention they'll be along in a  minute.

To be clear. The rule is there.  It is a question of the appropriate penalty to apply .

I am out of this one.  Some comments are pathetic and one eyed.

So you had your say and you're out of here, fair enough.

We all know the rule is there but it's not a good when except when things are normal. It is not there to put players at risk and although they have shipped the work involved onto RLcares.

"The RFL continues to drive and set the Welfare Policy."

that either means looking after players or it doesn't. If this is not the case they need to stop wasting money on RLcares.

Oh that's handy.

Particularly as it was a source of outrage when Toronto didn't pay people. Yet now it can be casually tossed aside. Nice selection.

And the issue is that Salford fans claim they are badly done to - but no concerns about the people they treat badly.

No, it's the one you are particularly keen to brush under the carpet.

I thought you were about to accuse me of being a virtual SRD fan for a moment then.

Do you have a view on the fine Tony? I've honestly never seen the Salford fans as angry even though they sort of expect this kind of thing from the RFL to be some kind of bianual  event!

I believe that Ian Blease and Paul King are quite sanguine about the fine. If that is so, then I'm not going to rise to the bait of those on here who love to pile in on an anti-Salford story.

AFAIK, the main losers are the Council and Peel Holdings, who still own the stadium and need a tenant whatever, Marwan Koucash, who has gone on record as saying he doesn't want his money back, John Wilkinson, for whom I do feel some sympathy, and, finally, a number of small creditors for whom I do feel sorry, but can do nothing about. But, hey! Check out the headline! Nasty Salford! That's all some people care about. If it makes them feel good, let them fill their boots.

Sorry, I almost forgot. The fine could have been worse and could have been a whole lot better, so I don't really have a view on it.

You honestly think people give Salford a hard time? That people shouldn’t comment about them leaving people in the lurch financially? What was the figure they didn’t pay back again? I’ve never slagged off Salford in all my time on here, it’s not some sort of persecution to raise awkward issues.
As for the people they didn’t pay the money back to...hey! Right? Who gives a damn.

To put the tin lid on it, this was a few days after they had a say in whether another club were fit for purpose. You honestly couldn’t make it up.

I did know who  the main creditors were, and how good MK had been about his bit. I like your style about this, I wasn't too bothered until some posts on here, maybe we're just too used to stuff like this.

Thanks for replying tony, keep well have a good one this holiday.

Which bit has been made up? 
did they not default on the repayments? If they didn’t, I’ll apologise.

So...which is it?

[Johnoco]

Ok, I obviously made it up about them defaulting on the CVA last September or whenever it was. Silly me, making up horrid stories about good old Salford. 
 

Still, good old Salford innit.

Merry Christmas everyone!
