This is the key thing for me. IF and it's an IF I'm not sure about there is no act of fraud or deception on the part of the Crusaders then the RFL should be banging the door down, roping in the sports authorities and MPs etc to get this decision overturned.
IF they have not complied with the regulations how did they manage to get into the country and play for months and in some cases years without being found out until now?
Something fishy going on me thinks...

As I say things like this should be water tight.
No matter what information we or the players give the authorities everything should be run through with a fine tooth comb. If they have still got in to play for the club then I think it is more a fault of the authorities than the people who put the application forward.
It's not as if the information would be readily available to them would it? They know what they have done with regards to playing career previously and would have been able to access this easily in January. It's not as if the club could falsify something like this as it would be there for all to see. |

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

If we do end up innocent I say take the authorities for all their worth and get all the compo we can.

And if it is not the fault of Celtic Crusaders as a club then how has it gone t1ts up exactly. |

How do you know it's not their fault? |

I said IF.
How do you know it is? If they have falsified information then how do they get through customs and through all the legal tape in the first place. It is not only the club who is at fault here, if indeed they are.
There has been a monumental balls up by authorities too if the worst comes to the worst and we have falsified information. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Either way this all results from the sport trying to ' even out ' playing levels by having clubs playing to different rules
No sport can take itself credible or will be taken itself credible by the national media when it does things like this |

Either way it's embarrassing for the game and a joke. Along with the poor crowds, poor performances, being bottom of the league and being in a nation which is known a great deal more for supporting RU and football, I just can't see the long-term sustainability. That doesn't mean I'm enjoying what's happened, just means (like I said earlier) the club's current [ioverall[/i state is not surprising.
The difference seems to be that Les Catalans (who I have admitted in the past being wrong about) were prepared for SL, Celtic clearly were not. |

world champs when it wasn't a pre season friendly: |

theres no mention of the fines to be imposed yet either, given celtics financial state, a fine of upto 60k payable in 28 days could really hurt them
