Premiership rugby union club reveals threat of breakaway global league

[Leonormous Boozer]

I never said it was better, I was saying that the Global competition wouldn't work without it because of the success some of the leagues teams have had in the HEC.

The Premier League works despite not having Barcelona and Dortmund. Formula 1 works despite not having Dario Franchitti. The PDC worked for years despite no Andy Fordham. The world does not revolve around 1 team. Or Ireland.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Champions league wouldn't work without Barca though, would it? You can hardly leave out two of the best teams in Europe over the last five years just for some 'we're bigger countries than you and therefore don't need your teams' competition.

 

[Teh Mite]

When did anyone exclude them? Try an focus on what you're debating for.

Just changed your argument again there, you are very good at that.

Err.. The thread is about the English and French clubs talking of forming a break away league. Snoop started the typical celtic fan line of "the Magners is da best league", which were completely off topic. Then all the but hurt fans started on the (clearly defining after 1 weekend) "look at this weekends results" horseshit. (1 2).

Then not much happened.

Then this happened:

I think it's ridiculous that anyone could think the Pro 12 isn't needed for a World Club competition. Munster arguably made the Heineken cup what it was because nobody really gave a **** about it before '00 and since the Celtic league was formed Premiership sides have won 3 HEC's Toulose 3 and Pro 12 teams 4 all of which were in the last 5 years. So basically after being given 5 years to grow and progress the Pro 12 is almost completely dominant of European rugby and if it were given the sort of hype the French give the Top 14 and Sky give the premiership it would be seen as at least an equal standard of Rugby.

Which Evolved from:
the Pro 12 is almost completely dominant of European rugby
To:
ou can hardly say only Leinster and Munster have been better than Premiership sides. Only Leicester and Northampton (in the last two seasons) have been seen 'players in Europe.
To:
Ha, so you've gone from saying that apart from Leinster and Munster the celtic league is below the level of the premiership from changing your words to say that apart from 2 teams of each league there all below par to make me seem like I'm arguing ,basically, myself and I'm being an idiot. And you'll probably deny all of this and come up with some smart arse answer to once again make me look like some sort of fool. So maybe we can just leave it here and agree to disagree or whatever before we get into a pointless ******* contest, which to be honest I don't want to have.

So what does that have to do with the PRL, French Clubs and SA clubs forming a breakaway big-money pro league?

'the Pro 12 is almost completely dominant of European rugby'

When I said this I was talking about wins, which is true so why would you make a big money league without two of the top 6 teams in Europe.

'You can hardly say only Leinster and Munster have been better than Premiership sides. Only Leicester and Northampton (in the last two seasons) have been seen 'players in Europe.'

You'd previously said only Leinster and Munster are big players so I was trying to make the point that with that logic the competition would consist of Saints, Tigers, Toulose, Bulls and Stormers.

'Ha, so you've gone from saying that apart from Leinster and Munster the celtic league is below the level of the premiership from changing your words to say that apart from 2 teams of each league there all below par to make me seem like I'm arguing ,basically, myself and I'm being an idiot.

I said this when I was fed up of a pointless argument.

'I was saying that the Global competition wouldn't work without it because of the success some of the leagues teams have had in the HEC'

this was a reply to M0rris' post because he hadn't understood what I said. Then for no reason you brought this argument back with a pointless post and then accused me of only thinking about Ireland, well sorry if the fact I like the HEC and don't want my club playing in a glorified Celtic League each year aggravates you.

I'll spell it out in big block capitals for you so it's easy for you to understand.


A SO CALLED ''GLOBAL LEAGUE'' WOULDN'T WORK WITHOUT THE BEST TEAMS IN EUROPE.

Or in fact without the best teams in Australia and New Zealand.

Grand whatever, misread it, easy mistake. I suppose I am the idiot you were making me out as. And the title makes it seem that way as well.
