Quote: dally messenger "

Err yeah I said neither city was currently a treiziste stronghold and he pulled out the fact that 50 years ago they both managed to win the French championship.

Had I claimed that neither city had ever won the French championship then I would "look dumb".

As it is the point is totally irrelevant.

Quote: Hedgehog King "You are talking about the past. If you went back far enough then Liverpool and Manchester were cities very much dominated by rugby but today they are anything but.

Neither Lyon nor Mille are able to run an Elite club let alone a Super League one.'"


when it comes to RL in france its all in the past.

you can shift the goal posts all you want about not having an elite club now, but thats not what you said earlier.

just admit when you are wrong, its not the first time

dance all you want.

are you really claiming only clubs in the French elite are heartland clubs?

not lower down.

by your logic then, any non SL club cant also be heartland.

just think about this for a minute.

Err yeah, clearly I was talking about the past. Note the "right now" and the "may have been" applied to Mille. I'm quite aware of the history of rugby league in Mille.

As for Lyon, I didn't know that they had ever won the championship but Lyon has never been a solid treiziste area with a history comparable to Mille and I have seen little that has contradicted that.

Quote: dally messenger "Toulouse fair enough but Lyon and Mille?

Mille may have been a treiziste stronghold at one time but right now it is anything but. From memory, they tried to run a Elite club a year or two ago but folded.

Lyon, to my knowledge, doesn't even have a distant treiziste pedegree or even much pretence of an Elite club.'"

I'm claiming

a) they are not heartland areas
b) they don't support elite clubs

I did not claim that areas that don't have elite clubs can't be heartlands just that neither Lyon nor Mille are.

Quote: bowes "Gijou was a very abusive troll called Calixte who seems to have been banned from League Unlimited.

He made up lies all the time and called anyone who disagreed a rah rah troll.

He claims that Lyon and Mille's success from a very long time ago makes them heartland areas, maybe they once were but it doesn't make them one now. He gave me pages of abuse after every post on LU after I disagreed with his statement that Mille would get a SL side. They folded after half a season in the Elite and Lyon struggled along a few years before dropping down to Elite 2.

Let's just say he makes Dally look reasonable, he's about 10 times as bad, if not more.

I honestly never thought I'd say this but this site has gone completely down the drain, Dally has ruined it enough but if Calixte is on here too I guess totalrl is much more appealing'"


seems rather hypocritical you saying that after your efforts regarding Widnes going bust, you even had the gall to demand an apology for being proved wrong,

did we ever find out who UTC beat in the 2005 french elite grand final?


maybe if you are going to call people on 'their abuse' you should avoid it yourself, especially when you are wrong

In other words, having had all your crap refuted, you've run out of mud to fling.

He "showed me up" by pointing out something I was aware of.

The number after two is three. I showed you up.

Quote: Hedgehog King "I looked up this shield, it is just the name of the trophy given to the winners of the French championship. Neither club have won the championship in over 50 years. He is obviously trying to be a dick. It's bleeding obvious that we all know that the French had a championship (and still do), playing silly buggers with the name of the trophy proves nothing.'"



if you were aware of it, why did you have to "look it up"

please mate, ive got to go to sleep soon and i wont if you keep me laughing all night.

have a heart.

Of course I've heard of the French championship just not the name of the trophy. But since I made no statement about either club winning the French championship his point was as irrelevant as yours.
