and you have proof of this, or is it yet again an assumption that it had to be RU blocking the sport and not internal politics within the country in question? I read your article, twice and can only find that the "obstruction" is claimed after communication withMoroccan officials, including two Ministers of Youth and Sport, the ministry’s Director-General, the Moroccan ambassador to the European Union, the Moroccan ambassador to the Court of St James and the Moroccan rugby union,'"
Too often we are told it is big bad nasty Union stopping RL from getting started and in most cases, there is nothing in it at all.......anyone recall the claims that RL was being banned in russia?

Ask one of the students on said trip. They had to make new plans at very late notice. One wrote a very interesting article in RLW at the time.

so there will be a paper trail then, highlighting the exact nature of the changes and why they were made? Good stuff...linky linky!
It's too easy to blame Union.....if there is a level of support for league in morocco, then the game will grow there, but as with the banned in russia story, there's often a more sinister internal squabble in the way rather than the IRB giving a flying one.

The game will not grow there if players are being actively banned from playing. BTW I believe the Moroccan RU's actions have also been condemned by the IRB.

So, as I said. Rather than this being UNION stopping league, it smacks of local rivalries coming to the fore........or are the IRB simply playing lip service?
Too easy to blame the bogey man at times......

You believe? What value is that coming from an unreliable source such as you?
Provide a source, or else shut up about your useless "beliefs."

| Quote: headhunter "The f*ck are you talking about? This thread is about RL being banned by the Moroccan government in conjunction with the Moroccan RU. Yes, the Moroccan rugby union. 'Blaming a bogey man'
Firstly......calm down. You'll do yourself a mischief with such a quick temper.
I asked if the "ban" was the work of Union or a local spat, with scores being settled. A number of "claims", but little documentation has been offered as to the "request" by the Union to cancel/ban games, but as with previous tales of governments or union banning League, very little actual proof.
Still, as if to prove both our points, you claim that the IRB have admonished the MRFU for their actions....proving that it was a local spat and nothing to do with some imaginary ing master plan to wipe out league......
I am not a Union fan by the way, but someone who doesn't regard pub teams as expansion, or heritage packed teams as proof of international growth either. It comforts you to call me a union fan, but the reality is, it's idiots like you with your narrow minds and narrower opinions who both drive existing fans away as well as putting off any potential newbies.
On the topic of Union "getting in the way". If I ran an organisation and a group of my members buggered off to set up a rival organisation in direct competition to mine, i'd crush them at every turn. But, instead of fighting back, it seems that so called die-hard RL fans would rather whimper about it not being fair......for 120 years.....and you call me pathetic

Who made you President? The Eric Olthwaite of RLFANS! Who was it asked why these boards are dying on their 'arris? Here's your answer!

| No doubt in my mind that union is behind the ban.
This case has the hands of union all over it, plus as we are all aware union has a history of this.

| Not being recognised by the government as a sport doesn't equate to the sport being banned.

| Before we know it, Gutter and Eve will be claiming that the events of 1895 were just a terrible misunderstanding.
At least the Frenchman's posts give us all a laugh.

This forum would be stone cold dead in the off season if it were not for my innovative threads. I bring a French perspective and an NRL perspective to the game, when nothing is happening on the pitch.
It is drones like guttersnipe and headhunter who are killing interest in any serious discussion.

This site is worthless in the close season.
It's attention seeking troll posters like you and gutterfax (or whatever your current user names are) that have made it so.
