It seems that your intelligence levels are not as high as you claimed and it needs to be broken down simply. You were correctly called a thief, scrounger etc. You asked to meet SCB face to face. SCB agreed to meet... you declined claiming that SCB wasn't intelligent enough. Of course the real reason is you have no desire to meet in a police station as that would be counter-productive to your sole reason for requesting a 'face-to-face' meeting.. i.e. violence. As you seem incapable of reading my original post, I will state again, I don't kid myself into believing I am not leeching the NHL service. I am... partially, as many of the games are in fact broadcast on free to air TV.

Try using the intelligence you alluded to on an earlier post for no longing wishing to meet with someone to read my post again.

Pretty much the same as me to be honest Wiseguy as I have mentioned earlier in the thread. There's a world of difference between doing that than not subscribing to anything and leaching everything for free. I've used kodi in the main to watch NHL, where I 'could' have taken out a subscription to NHL.tv.. so yes, I'm leaching that service and I don't kid myself about it. Nobody is going to apologise for the truth.

You work for free then do you Sidney? Thanks for enlightening us to that piece of information. Why is it now over? You wanted to meet SCB... He's agreed, now you've lost interest?

No, you choose to steal. I can't afford many things in life, that's tough. I don't go around stealing them claiming 'it's my choice' and I don't see why I should pay. There's nothing to 'discuss in person'. It's not even a debate.

They can still claim it wasn't in the 'Poole version' though

Ford has already mocked Buster Chapman for spending money on a stadium. Not often we agree Drop a Cog, but in this case you are spot on!

Although of course, you're not using Kodi and loving it. You're using the illegal 3rd party add-ons to Kodi and loving it.

There is no 'scrounging' involved. It's stealing, it's as simple as that. Kodi themselves acknowledge it as such and do not support or advocate any of the 3rd party add-ons as it is causing them a lot of grief. As I said earlier in the thread it shows that folk have no issues with stealing if they think they're not going to get caught. As for me? I have Kodi and have used it on occasion, but I don't kid myself about it. The Doctor is paying a fair whack already so have sympathy there.

It's not my opinion how many times Sam was on the rostrum in the 80's. It's not my opinion how many World Finals Sam reached compared to Moran. It's not my opinion that Sam rode in only half the decade but achieved more in that time... Gollob, Adams and Sigalos are irrelevant in the context of the Ermolenko v Moran debate, but fwiw based upon their achievements I'd rank Gollob just above Sam, Adams about level and Sigalos below.

Agreed, they can all get beat. You're right, Sam wasn't as good, he was better. How many World Final rostrums for Shawn? How many run-offs for World Title? How many World Finals? Sam only rode for half the decade and did more in that time than Shawn in 10 years.

Doesn't matter how much you try to deny it, history has spoken and it's not even close. Run along and watch Ronnie O'Sullivan in the Grand Prix.... oh wait... whoops!

Again, I've not said anything about that.. all I've said is, net result is, Swindon have two p****d off riders before the season has even started. All of their own doing. Nope, it's happened many times in the past in meaningless challenge matches. An official fixture.. yes. An inter-league challenge where the other team is tracking a different side anyway.. who cares. The only point I agree with is Somerset fans who would have the opportunity to see some top riders.. BUT we're told they make for poor racing anyway and that PL is way better, so perhaps would have been better had they not been there

What is odd? Doyle and Morris wanted to ride elsewhere.. Swindon fans who won't even be attending the meeting have stopped them.. Said riders will be p****d off... You've agreed with me by saying Swindon should not have let the situation arise in the first place.

Indeed. In the cafe/bakery over the road where I buy bread etc, often the lady is out the back. I could just take the bread. Why pay?

The old saying.. If you can't beat them, join them.

Just shows, most folk steal and rob when they think/know they can get away with it.

I've not said they should have rode in the other meet at all. I've simply stated they clearly wanted to ride in the other meet and have been prevented from doing so by a bunch of fans, the vast majority of which won't be attending the Somerset meeting anyway. By the way, I totally agree with you that it was the Somerset fans who were going to be missing out.

haha, some are so gullible. Both Morris and Doyle have confirmed they were given permission to ride at Lynn. Swindon have said they have 'recalled' riders.. you don't 'recall' someone you never gave permission to ride elsewhere. Well done Swindon fans though, you've managed to p*** off your riders before the season has even started All for a meaningless meet that 99% of those Swindon fans whinging won't be attending.

Precisely.

Typical of modern society, everyone wants something for nothing. Parasites

I haven't disagreed Totally, Swindon were as much to blame for this. Doyle has shown where his loyalties do or don't lie.. and is likely a bit p****d off he is missing out on a better pay day. I expect we will see hundreds of Swindon fans making the journey to Somerset then!

Quite simply because its not an official Swindon meeting, so they are not contracted to ride in it.

It's a meaningless pre-season match against lower league opposition, who aren't even tracking their own team. It's not a 'pathetic attitude', its the truth. If you're gullible enough to think it's something important, that's up to you. I'm not claiming the other meeting is anything special either. As for the 'following of fans' that Swindon will be taking.. well it's good for them to know who will be riding and who won't, then make their decision as to whether to attend or not, nobody is forcing them.

Of course it's not irrelevant. It's basically a meaningless pre-season friendly against a lower opposition team.
