c'est la vie ... we all have our opinions

Did you give a monkeys about Mansfield, Kent, Scarborough et al ?

They were before my time, but obviously I would have. The professional game would be a much better place if those clubs were still involved. I don't see what this has to do with anything.

God, another depressing thread. Why are some so-called fans intent on tainting the name of RL?

Yes.
Illegal immigrants are in the country Illegally....there's a clue in the use of the word Illigal before the word immigrant.
The banning orders/deportions were issued due to working illegally whilst in the UK........

No matter where you go in the world, you generally need 1. Permission to be there and 2. Permission to Work if you want to.

I came to NZ on a holiday visa......so was welcome as a tourist, but only that. I then applied for a work permit/visa......received this with the backing of my future employer and therefore, I am permitted to stay and work here for the length of that visa or until such time as my application for residency is decided upon. I was not able to start work for my employer until this visa was granted......If I had worked BEFORE my visa had been approved, I would have been deported, but not as an Illegal Immigrant, but for breach of visa conditions.

The same rules were apllied to the crusaders players........they jumped the gun, assumed everything was AOK when it wasn't and as such, were booted out for breach of their visa conditions.

Why do we have a governing body that is happy to make a mockery of a so called sport by constantly changing rules , encouraging clubs to break the laws of the land and basically make a pigs ear of most of the things they do

They are the ones ' tainting the name of the sport ' , not some muppet like me on an internet MB

So if your future employer knew they were getting you the wrong Visa , that would make them either

Pretty stupid

Criminally liable

Or in my case, the New Zealand Government.

I believe that it is the responsibility of the employee to get the correct visa and the employer to ensure it is correct. The employer is liable to a fine if they do not check I have the right visa....I would be deported.

There are apparently a number of Harlequins RL fans who were responsible for double checking my visa as they don't want me back

I could bang on about what good the RFL does, how it has done much more than scrap P&R and bring in Club Call, but instead I'm more puzzled as to why you bother coming on these forums if all you want to do is moan. Why submerge your thoughts in such misery?

So in the 6 players at Celtic's case the employer would be ?

Away you go
