They have been playing over here on student visa's getting paid by the clubs chairman in clear contravention of the salary cap rules for the 2 previous years



In those 2 years several other clubs have been affected adversly because of this

what like your beloved wigan purposly over spending on the salary cap year in year out knowing that the fine will come into play next season?



now thats an emabarassment...also how about wigan spending ludicrous amounts of cash on australian has beens whilst releasing top young players such as briscoe,robinson etc etc etc...another embarrasment in my eyes..



i for one wouldt feel sorry for the cherry and whites if this was to happen to them, infact id love it..

I do sympathise with the fans,but lets have a level playing field.celtic cheated,and the consequence should be expulsion/demotion.celtic are in this position through incompitent management supported by red hall.

breaking the salary cap. wigan saints have consistantly broke it amongst others...does that mean they should be demoted??

Either that or a clear indication of how expansion clubs will operate under different rules at all levels from now on



Celtic are bottom of SL , they have had little effect on where other clubs in SL are going to finish this year



For the last 2 years though they have had a massive effect on the clubs they have played



That must never be allowed to happen again

I see the Fev, Widnes & Leigh Flatcappers are jumping on the Bandwagon again. Take a step back and consider that the paperwork was incorrect.



Come on get real - the RFL dont go over past Immigration papers when they are trying to sort out the club. Give them a break.



CC are not cheats - these players have been with them since the start.



Compare what is happening with the Blood capsule situation in RU =- now THAT is cheating.

Absolutely gutted, thanks for all the support folks and as for all the 'hang 'em high' brigade good luck in whatever your team does and hope that you'll get a bit more sympathy as a fan than we'll get if your team ever fall foul of the rules.

What bollox.



Read the BBC story again. You will notice that it is the PLAYERS who are being held responsible. As yet, no decision has been made by the Borders Agency as to whether the club knowingly employed illegal immigrants. The club could be entirely innocent in all of this yet with the childish rantings of idiot fans from other clubs anyone would think the owner and staff had committed mass murder.



I haven't witnessed such a load of childish, pathetic rubbish since I was a kid on the school playground. You lot from other clubs, [iyou[/i are the embarrassment to rugby league.

I'm pretty sure that Hull got done once

Your club hasn't yet fallen foul of anything. It's the players who have made a mistake so far. Hopefully, the Borders Agency won't find anything that can be interpreted as the club knowingly employing illegal immigrants. If they cannot prove that then the club is home free.

Thanks for that.



As I said on another thread if the club went under I would still be a big fan of rugby league if we do not have a club to support. I don't think many people who are coming on here having a go could say the same.



It is posts like this that make all the difference in times like this so thanks again.
