International AFL vs International RL

[TLPG]

KE needs a WAAAAAHHHHHmbulance! What a whiner! :D :D :D :D :D

[King-Eliagh]

Oh now TLPG seriously you are the pot calling the kettle black now arent you. I could list countless examples of you whining to beaussie our admin and other moderators in here. I mean your desperate calls for the tanking thread to be locked was the most recent example. Plllleaase. I'm simply calling for a BS file to be created to have you prove your statement, or most likely not prove your statement and receive a BS point. Can you explain how that is whining?

[TLPG]

Whining = Avoiding the facts;

Fact - You live in a fantasy world

And that upsets you so bad you whine about other things like a BS file about nothing!

[King-Eliagh]

I'm sorry but that definition of whining quite nicely proves you live in fantasy land TLPG

[TLPG]

:_<> :_<> :_<>

Loser!

[King-Eliagh]

When comparing international marngrook vs international RL the clear loser is marngrook. Anyone who cant see this fact is also a loser...clearly.

[TLPG]

Anyone who thinks that what you said is fact is living in a fantasy world. Clearly.

[King-Eliagh]

Not one professional marngrook comp o/s TLPG. That says it all really.

[TLPG]

There doesn't need to be. The core of it is community. Something you have no idea about obviously. It's how it has survived for more than 150 years. And overseas countries love it.

[Xman]

Xman, I'm awaiting my BS challenge to be taken to the BS files. TLPG has some explaining to do and this isnt the appropriate place for him to do it.

I'm not reading through all this crap. Tell me the details of the bs file claim including what was claimed by who and why.

[King-Eliagh]

Have you been through this you knob. They are all australian's

Every single person who plays in the International Cup is NOT Australian!

Player Eligibilty for AFL International Cup
Posted by AFLTL on May 29, 2011 at 9:20 PM
PLAYER ELIGIBILTY IC11
8. TEAM COMPOSITION
8.1 Squad
Each Team participating in the event shall provide to the AFL no later than July 25, the “Certification of Eligibility” Form (Appendix (AII)) listing players and providing:-
(a) the playing number allocated to each Player within the squad;
(b) the date of birth, height and weight of each Player;
(c) the local club of each Player;
(d) the names of the Coach and Team Manager;
(e) the names of the Captain and Vice Captain, and
(f) certification that all selected Players meet the eligibility requirements and have signed a participation form.
8.2 Eligibility
(a) A Player is eligible for selection by a League if:
(i) the Player was predominantly resident in the country of the League between 10 and 16 years of age, subject to the qualification in sub-clause 8.2(b); This does not apply for the women’s division for the 2011 International Cup (sub clauses 8.2 (a) & (b) do still apply)
(ii) the Player is a citizen of the country of the League at the time when the Competition is conducted, subject to the qualification in sub-clause 8.2(b); and
(iii) the Player is not under suspension in that Player’s local competition during the period of the Competition.
(iv) The player is included in the squad provided under Regulation 8.1.
(b) The AFL may, on a case by case basis, waive the eligibility requirements contained in sub-clause 8.2(a) and (b) if it is satisfied that a Player is a bona fide resident in the country of the League and his participation would be in the best interests of the Competition. Submissions in this regard must be made by lodging the Player Eligibility form attached as Appendix II before the commencement of the Competition.
8.3 Final Team Selection
(a) Each team shall provide to the Competition Manager a final list of players no later than the commencement time of the Team Managers meeting preceding the event.
(b) A player not listed in the squad provided in accordance with Regulation 8.1 shall be ineligible to participate.

These rules tell otherwise, 8.2(a)(ii) states a player only need to have citizenship of a country to be eligible... Theres alot of austrlians with dual citizenship of their parents homeland....
i admit that looking over those rules its seems the AFL has made more an attempt to put down rules on the eligibility of players for the International CUP but as it shows those rules dont mean much when The AFL can Still override all these if they believe it will benefit the competition.. so in other words the AFL will allow an australian born player to represent another country if they think it will strengthen up the competition which is the opposite of what you said. they used the term 'Bona-fide' because it basically means a vague reference without any real legal backing (said in good will)

That clause has NEVER been activated. I stand by my statement.

I challenge TLPG's claim that the bolded clause has never been activated. Leeeeets take it to the BS files Xman! :D

[TLPG]

You can not prove a negative. So this is dead in the water - unless you can prove that it HAS been activated, with evidence.

[Xman]

I've got to say I think the proposed bs file claim is ridiculous! Imagine trying to prove something has never happened!

If you have information to the contrary KE just present it and TLPG can challenge that.

[King-Eliagh]

beeep beep beeep. TLPG backin on outta this one, and quickly!

I'm sorry TLPG i didnt make the claim so the honus is on you here to prove your claim. Otherwise Xman will slap a bs point on ur ass.



Now back on topic. TLPG have you ever viewed marngrook being played in europe? Its all expats, bar one or two lonely locals. The crowds usually range between 20 and 30 and its played at a level below that of the lowest divisions in sydney. And that's saying something! The umpires rarely have uniforms. Its really just a fun thing to do, a kick in the park and something to keep fit IF your team trains at all.

I'm sorry Xman but TLPG made a claim. By the rules of the BS files that claim will need to be supported with evidence. He has none so he should have said "in my opinion that clause has never been used". But he didnt. No surprise ol bias boy xman is protecting his brothers, yet again RIP to the BS files. They were dead in the water before they began. Xman you should be ashamed of yourself.
