Oh thank goodness, you're not completely deluded then. What then in your opinion have they got wrong in the past?

Starry, do you honestly believe that the likes of Ford, Muddlo, Ward, or anyone associated with the pirates can do no wrong?

Still clinging on to that hope starry? The length of time Poole are taking in naming their full team is disgraceful, I wouldn't want to stump up the money for a season ticket when who's going to be spearheading the team with Holder is still undecided. And whilst some may think that Poole are loyal in backing Ward again, even though Ford had given him one more chance before his latest misdemeanor, how fair and loyal are they being to Magic? He's obviously classed as second best, and I wouldn't put it past Ford to be playing around with contracts, so they can report Magic hasn't agreed terms! I expect 'suddenly' if Ward is banned Jankowski will have signed on the dotted line within 48 hours - and if he does, I hope he bleeds Ford dry.

Life's to short Jacues.

Week 3 of 1

Expect the FIM are making sure they're fully hydrated before giving their decision - clear open mind & all that.

You and Starry related then pugwash?

Goes both ways Tsunami - I've had a pro-ward supporter telling me a reply I made to a post "says alot about me", but they won't tell me what it says, and that I should keep taking the tablets! Personally I think I may have to double them to put up with some of the views on here.

Ha ha, yes? Have no idea what post or question your rambling on about again. I think you actually short circuit my brain, its amazing how confused I'm left after trying to decipher your posts.

What post and question?

No point bringing up his past again

Should have, could have, didn't though. And his 'advisers' continue to make matters worse.

Trees, really????? We don't know what his alcohol reading was, but whatever it was still in his system and most likely would have impaired his ability on the bike putting himself but more importantly his fellow competitors in danger. There's simply no excuse for that. None!!! Possibly, there are many other riders who should be in Wards position, I hope that the fact he WAS caught acts as a deterrent to others. I'll say it again, NO EXCUSE.

Ah yes, that lame excuse, more bad advice from someone in the Ward camp. Drinking lots of fluids after his lash up may have helped his hangover, but it won't have helped clearing the alcohol from his system. I really do think that Ward's not the brightest of sparks, but the crap advice he's being given behind the scenes has done him more harm than good in this and other cases. First of all we heard there were extenuating circumstances for him drinking the night before a GP, then the "I didn't hydrate enough" bullsh!t, then the queries with the testing procedures. If he'd of held his hands up first off and admitted he'd cocked up, it's possible his punishment would have been known by now, he could have moved on and we wouldn't have to deal with Middleditch spouting more rubbish and digging a deeper whole with every comment he makes. You're quite right Jacques. There's been better riders the sport has been cruely robbed of - Jan O, Gundersen, Jonsson - it survived, as did the clubs they rode for.

So is this now all the FIM's fault? Are you trying to say if they'd have had all rider tests at GP's last year Ward wouldn't have gone out on the lash the night before a GP?

I personally think the best thing Ward could do whenever this is all over and any punishment has been served is wipe the slate clean and move on. Whilst the Poole fans may love him, the off track support and advice he's been getting down there have done him no favours. Makes you wonder if he'd been under the wing of Buster at KL he'd have got into all the trouble he has whilst at Poole.

There seems to have been lots of straws grasped at since August last year!

I try and read your posts Starry, I can even make sense of some of them. But still waiting for you to answer what you think me not quoting one of your other posts says about me? Simple question really.

Ah the irony. Still waiting Starry, by me not quoting your following post to a response someone made to one of your other posts I agreed with, what does that say about me? You made the statement, surely you weren't talking b*ll*x!

You said I didn't quote your next post, that says a lot about you - what does it say about me?

Read it, can't find what it says about me?

What does it say?

He's not been banned yet. Exactly!

It would seem that most if not all of the trouble he's found himself in in the past few years has involved alcohol.

Amazing isn't it, how in speedway rival fans come together for the common good!
