JohnnyFrog and The PoshBoys are Spoiling it for the Rest of Us. Again.
Oh, just grow up, For Gawd’s Sake, you silly, petty, little fools. I mean, really. The older I get, the more ‘knowledgeable’ of the ways of the world I get, the more frustrated I get with arsolehes who say, “Ah, but its not that simple.”
Yes It ****ing Well Is.
Right, it seems the argument is this:
the French say they are supporting/helping the English clubs in a protest over share rights. The English say they will back the French in a boycott if the French drop out for a year.
Do you know what? That is all cobblers.
When have the French supported the English in ANYTHING? They can’t stand each other. The only occasion the French would support the English would be if HM Government suggested Kent as a bombing range for The French Air Force. So that aspect of the debacle is ballcocks for starters.
Share rights!? What the English and French want is more representation ‘coz we is bigger van you, vight, mate’ and that, my little ruggerbuggers, is bullying. Remember when the English RFU (sic) and FFR wanted to play in a separate league of their own, internationally? Remember when the English clubs dropped out for a year from the Heineken? Remember when they both wanted more money from the 5 Nations because… oh the list goes on. Arrogance and Bullying.
“Nous sommes plus grands que toi et votre père étiez un hamster et vos odeurs de mère des baies de sureau et de nous veulent plus d'argent mais réellement nous ne nous inquiétons pas, vous les cornichons marinés peu*. “
The only reason the English clubs claim to be backing the French Clubs is that they curently (and at any opportunity) want to make life as difficult as possible for their ruling body. Now, we in Wales know about heavy-handed ‘negotiations’ between club and country but, by and large, it kind of works out. ish. (Please, WBach, don’t mention Samuels/Ravens here – it could all kick off again a la Haka-Gate. Ed.). But our little shenanigans didn’t threaten the future of the Best Club Competition in the Rugby World, did it? Eh, did it?
The French, for some reason, have decided that there are going to be too many games for their HUGE league structure next year so they think the best way to get around it is to drop the Heineken Cup for a year. OK. Fine. Let 'em.
The Sais clubs . want more dosh and places. Fine – let ‘em have it but only if they start to play some RUGBY, not the one-up-bosh-rugby-league-deviant-nonsense they currently play. (And it is not A Product, for crying out loud. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR)
So, it is the old game of ‘Show More, Win All’.
Put the willies away, gentlemen, and agree to disagree but don’t spoil it for the rest of us, please? I thought that little boys left all this sort of nonsense in the playgrounds of Primary Schools, be they Private, Grammar, State, Republique, Seminary or Church in Wales (supported).
Really. Grow up.

Come on Wibachl! You do realise that the thrust of your argument is that the leaders of the RFU are sensible negotiators? Come on! Are you getting soft with approaching fatherhood? The best comment about the alikadoos in england, and I still think it applies , was George Orwell's in the 1930s. "If you let off a bomb under the west stand at Twickenham, you would wipe out fascism in this country for a generation."
If the clubs are dimwits, the RFU negotiate with as much empathy for the opposition as Hitler did at Munich (0oops, mistake: Hitler negotiated with a real sense of praticalities, Lets try... Saadam Hussein before the Iraqi war).
From what I can gather it is more about the French and the English RU moving to a provincial set up. They had that chance when the game first went professional, now too many millions of Euros and pounds have been eaten up by the club proprieters for them to hand over everything to those geniuses who are at present running the English Rugby team. Think carefully before you endorse that lot!
wilbach says - the thrust of my argument is that Rugby England and Rugby France are not interested or respectful of the competition because they feel that they are bigger, better and more important than any of the other participating 'little fish'. That may well be the case, but they are ALL just arrogant and bullying and don't care what they damage as long as they are showing the biggest willy. It is almost fundamentalist in its desire to Not Surrender, to burn down the house rather than have anything other than their tiny little vision for 'their game' as the outcome. Are you really saying, having read my blog that 'its not as simple as that?!' Oh, do come the feck on! You miss the point entirely. All the E/F bodies are losing sight of the fact that the H-cup is superb value for watchers and players alike (not to mention the financial benefits to the clubs); the next level up from the club comps. If they can't see the value of keeping the competition then me, Guido Fawkes and Georgie O will be there with the fuse lit. Really. I expected better of you, Julian. Don't EVER accuse me of siding with those toss... those Heinz Fluff merchants. Please.
Wilbach says (later) - the problem is the clubs have got hold of a beautifully wrapped birthday present and are hitting the Unions with it. It doesn't matter to them that it isn't their present and they donm't give a tuppenny #uck that the poor child whose present it actually is, is begging them to stop because the present is being smashed up in the process. Gits.
Wilbach says (later still) - for other commentors thinking about posting here - don't worry about the levels of vitriol and abuse espoused above - Julian and Wilbach are brothers and you all know how internecine scraps go! Julian has inherited our father's coldy, logical abilities and, also like the old man, loves tapping in a fella's Anger PIN Number. So, blogg-readers, don't be frightened - comment away!
