Im surprised rosco hasnt had much flak for leaving cook out as middlo got alot of flak for dropping him

We have no chance of winning the round unless Australia put out a weakened team

Would Robert Lambert have been worth a go on his own track. Had a good season, surely better than Stead.

Wow what a great day out, racing has been better, Ward overtake on Tai was terrific, nicki,s hand to ear when he won his only race became funny when he left kk no room so kk had to take avoiding action the he hit a rut and kk passed him, enjoyed that one, What can you say about greg fantastic wonderful performance and if Tai couldnt win I believe most would want it to be greg,

Miedzinski worse than Nicki!!! You must be joking! Nicki is the dirtiest rider on the planet.

His comments are laughable, every time someone comes on his outside he heads straight for the fence. If someone puts him in the fence at Cardiff you will hear the cheers in Swansea!!

No bias just don't rate him, you have a point though Worrall should be in the team if Nicholls doesn't want to, agree with that but definately have King in the team and Ramps couldn't do any worse than the current team!!

Cook isn't good enough at the level you need to get onto the podium at world cup level, Tai, Harris and Nicholls if they could get back to form they are capable of and Danny King are all better than Cook but we have never had any team since 2004 which is capable of winning. To me it wasn't the fact that Cook got beaten at Kings Lynn that was the problem but more the way he got beaten.

Middlo picked cook and cook failed.

Probably pick Nick Morris and then realise he isn't british anymore!

Now your asking him to multi task!!

Hope Rosco won't mind us criticising his every mistake and there are likely to be quite a few!

I agree an independant panel is needed as with all sport but the promoters always maintain it is unaffordable

How about the fact that Bridger wasn't riding in the meeting.

Blimey you must have long and hard about how to get a anti poole/Darcy comment on this thread, well done , great committment to your obsession

He didn't need either in the team.

Just pointing out that every sport panders to tv in some way and football create extra excitement and tension with a shoot out, the joker creates excitement and tension and a last heat decider. I didn't say i agreed with it just pointing out why it is here to stay.

The basics are not difficult to understand or the scoring system, the joker will remain as it creates excitement in a similar way to the penalty shoot out and if we didnt have football on tv there would be more matches replayed.

Other sports dont need to, speedway is a minority sport that needs tv more than most other sports

He should be sacked for not putting his best rider in the last heat

That as may be but I cant see them changing the rule anytime soon, its keeps teams close and the paying public interest is kept for longer and it is good for tv.

There seems to be people on here demeaning polands. achievement just because they used the rules to their advantage which denmark would have done had they been in the same position. While you may not agree with the joker rule it creates excitement just as a tac rule does in normal league racing.

Poland were the better team, when milik fell bjerre was last, he won the re-run, if milik didnt fall bjerre would be third at best with dudek winning, thats a 4 point turnaround lucky for bjerre unlucky for dudek and poland wouldnt have used the joker and kasprzak would have been third in his race instead of feigning a breakdown. Poland were the better team and deserved champs

Bjerre bottled it more, off gate 1 let kasprzak by him

If we had a referee who made a correct decision then poland wouldnt have had the chance to use the joker, kasprzak would have come third instead of feigning a breakdown and poland would still have won, the joker is there to compensate for crap decisions,if the czechs were in contention the decision may have been different.
