London Welsh in the Pro12 ? Talks have began.

by LordDowlais Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:11 pm

First topic message reminder :

No, No, No. Why should this lot be allowed in the Pro12 ? Surely RGC1404 should be the next team in the Pro12. London Welsh are not even Welsh, they're English with a Welsh name, anyway here we are:-

f the author was told by Phillips he has spoken to the Pro12 why not quote him or if Phillips doesn't want to be quoted or even someone within the Pro12 has told him why not say sources told them?

Also Phillips has repeatedly said over the last few years he has spoken to the Pro12 and only 5 months ago they said its a lie, so now all of a sudden they have spoken to him? The man lacks credibility, you ever hear the story of the boy who cried wolf?

Guesswork. You're basing your thought process on soemthing that happenend last season, when you don't know all the facts.

I've been told numerous times on here that this shouldn't form the basis of opinion, and that reading between the lines / posting without proof should not form the basis of a debate. Yet when the shoe's on the other foot - it seems to be concrete evidence.

Laughable.

No it doesn't mean its 100% correct as he has said nothing about speaking to the Pro12, the reporter has said that they have spoken to them without anything said by Phillips

Its not guesswork, its opinion as I don't see how he can be believed when he has lied in the past. Do you think he is credible given his history of saying one thing only to have the other party say it never happened?

If he spoke to either party why isn't there a big shiny quote saying so?

No idea. I can't speak for the journalist.

Phillips is one of the top Law Professionals in the country. I expect he knows what he's doing with his soundbytes.

You did read the evidence Marty provided? Didn't you? That's all the evidence that's out there, Chunky, and that's all that's needed. New article publishing old claims.

Look at it this way: There is evidence that those claims are false. there is no evidence that those same claims, published in a recent article, are true.

Think about it.....

Complete and utter guesswork.

How on earth do you come to the conclusion that it is guesswork? Shocked

The evidence you required is there in black and white. The claim has already been refuted. It has already been shown as false. The claims in the more recent article are unsubstantiated, just as the previous claims, and so have to be treated as the old claims, the old claims that are already proven to be false.

This is what you are doing:

Someone makes unsubstantiated assertion that something is true.

That unsubstantiated assertion is proven false.

Someone makes same unsubstantiated assertion that something is true.

You claim that same unsubstantiated assertion is true, even though that assertion has been already been proven to be false.

It's up to you to provide evidence of that unsubstantiated assertion, chunky. That is something you can't do because no such evidence exists within that article. You are supporting something to be true, without evidence, and even though it is a claim that has already been refuted, and proven to be false.

Yes, you do have to prove it! It was up to the journo to provide the evidence. The journo failed. Now that it's you that is making the claim, based on the jouno's unsubstantiated claims, it is up to you to provide the evidence. The only way you can do this is by going to primary source (Pro12 or Phillips), or at the very least the journo who made the claim, who would then have to furnish you with primary evidence.

The only real evidence that we have is that those claims are false. Proven false.

Hilarious. This is a really good example of wriggling out of a false claim by just trying to shout the loudest..... This thread should be stickied for all to see how fraudelent the debating style of some of the posters are on here.

You have already been given the evidence that it is made up. If your claim is that it isn't made up, then you have to have the evidence in support of your claim. That evidence does not exist within that article. You will then have to go to primary source to gain that evidence, by contacting Pro12, Phillips or the journo.

The only real evidence, evidence that you requested and were provided with, is evidence that refutes the claims made within that article.

Yes we have. You asked for evidence within the last 6 months. Marty provided evidence from 5 months ago. You moved the goalposts.

There is no evidence that the claims in this article are new, and there is no evidence to say that he hasn't talked to Pro12 since last making his claim. The evidence that does exist, however, suggests that Phillips was less than truthful in his last claim. His last claim was no different to the more recent nonsense that has been published, and equally lacking in anything of substance. As the claim has been shown to be false in the recent past, and as it is no different, and equally lacking in substance, it is right to assume that the claims are as false as the original publication.

Goodness, Chunky, I fear for you sanity.

Take my last comment to someone who can help you with your difficulties, and be patient in learning. That's the best advise I can give you. Hope it goes well for you.

Now, although I couldn't be bothered bringing this up earlier, I will now. Here's a quote from you:

"None of what is reported in that article is made up"

Now look closely at your quote. In claiming that none of that article is made up, you are in fact asserting that those claims are true. You are making a positive assertion, and a positive assertion requires you, Chunky, to support that assertion with evidence. The burden of proof is on you. Not anyone else. I guess that will take you a few weeks to figure out why that should be, but it will be progress nonetheless.

No. The only thing I have infront of me is the article. I have nothing else to go on, so any evidence either way to suggest that there is more to story than what is actually in the article would be helpful. If, of course there is more to the story in the first place. There isn't any at this point though. So all we have is the article. So at this point it is totally impossible to say anything in it is "made up".

No. The only thing I have infront of me is the article. I have nothing else to go on, so any evidence either way to suggest that there is more to story than what is actually in the article would be helpful. If, of course there is more to the story in the first place. There isn't any at this point though. So all we have is the article. So at this point it is totally impossible to say anything in it is "made up".

The evidence was provided but rather than going and looking at it you want us to do your leg work all the while you dismiss it all because you cant be arsed

Which claim was this?, just so I can see what he said.

The Rugby Paper have removed the article, so I can't refer to it. All I have to go on is the related articles, such as this:

....."It's a symbiotic relationship which could benefit all parties," Phillips told the BBC. "I think it would bring an added dimension to Pro12 if you are able to establish a London franchise."

And while the RFU would have to agree to such a move, Phillips believes there would be widespread support within current Celtic nations towards the opening of a new frontier in the English capital.

"We are a team that believes in its Welsh traditions and Welsh roots.

"As an option it [the Pro12] is attractive to many people in this part of London. It would be attractive to a number of Celtic teams.

"I suspect the likes of Munster, Ulster, Glasgow and Edinburgh would rather fly into Heathrow than to certain other areas which currently participate in the Pro12, while Welsh fans would prefer to come to south-west London than perhaps go further afield.

"There would be a degree of support behind the possibility."

London Scottish have also been mooted as being part of a possible double switch, but as recently as May, the Pro12 were at pains to deny any discussions had taken place.

Pro12DenyTalkingAboutLondonwelshSwitchToPro12

Now, for Pro12 to deny any talks have taken place, it should mean that someone has made the claim that talks have taken place, otherwise it would be absurd that Pro12 come out and deny it.
I concede that it still doesn't mean that Phillips made the claim, and that it is possible that Jackson himself added/assumed on Phillips claims. I don't know, and I can't prove it either way, although the article has most likely been copied here, so I will take a look later when I get a chance.

Show us the evidence - go on.

Goodness, Chunky, I fear for you sanity.

Take my last comment to someone who can help you with your difficulties, and be patient in learning. That's the best advise I can give you. Hope it goes well for you.

Now, although I couldn't be bothered bringing this up earlier, I will now. Here's a quote from you:

"None of what is reported in that article is made up"

Now look closely at your quote. In claiming that none of that article is made up, you are in fact asserting that those claims are true. You are making a positive assertion, and a positive assertion requires you, Chunky, to support that assertion with evidence. The burden of proof is on you. Not anyone else. I guess that will take you a few weeks to figure out why that should be, but it will be progress nonetheless.

Hey, Chunky, what about providing the evidence? What evidence do you have that all that was reported is true?

I'll have to be reminded of his quote before I answer that. Can you post it.

Thanks.

You can go back and look up my posts but not his quotes? Talk about avoiding answering

Please post the quote of Bleddyn Phillips you are referring to.

Thanks.

I never mentioned a quote from him, your avoiding answering.

What did Bleddyn Phillips lie about? Can you show me where he lied?

I genuinely don't know which article / quote / statement you are referring to when you say he lied, so if you could point it out then I can answer.

Thanks.

Marty?
