Just think how you will be kicking yourself if he is mentioned as one our other world champions and gets a 10 second clip shown.....oh and then your workmates start talking about it tomorrow and you said you boycotted it!!!!!Who's going to be looking a right plonker in their wulfsport jacket? Ok.I meant a bit more than usual

But i guess they never will answer those questions.They won't even answer the riders who are involved in such situations.Not only Dilger,but i posted a link round this time last year when Dryml was having trouble and he also stated the FIM never sent him a reply.Seems indicative of the organisation and really quite outrageous that they don't feel the need to answer riders!!!!

Well that would be simple for Emil.He doesn't ride in NZ.So they ban him from all meetings that weekend and he is not allowed to ride in any more GPs that season.Job done.What he wanted

Is it enforceable and do the FIM have a leg to stand on or will they make themselves look foolish yet again?Is it an unreasonable restriction of trade?It is a restriction that has never been there before,so could easily be shown to be unreasonable.Is it a restriction applied after Emil had already sent in his entry form?

This is probably where we get confused Phil.It reads as if it is your words,your belief.No mention of the FIM,just you saying everything was done correctly.Like i say,maybe a bit more investigation would have done the job before coming out with this sort of thing so often.A quick email to one or two of the riders involved and we would have all been a bit wiser a lot sooner

And all i am saying is the fact it is Phil Rising posting it seems to give some weight for some posters that it must be the truth.If someone else posts a contradictory opinion,like i said they are often jumped upon.A bit unfair.And in rsality maybe as a journalist you should have asked Dilger or Buczkowski or others involved long ago?????????As someone who has been in the sport as long as you,it is obvious you will have very many friends high up in the sport and sometimes it is probably you accept a version because it won't upset your friends.It is quite possible you think this is best for the sport anyway.What will be gained from upsetting people and making the sport look bad.And maybe that is right. As i said in a previous post,sometimes you are not right Phil.Don't take it personally if people don't just accept everything you post as gospel.I have no doubt your contribution to the sport has been far more positive than negative,but because of who you are and where you earn your money you might not always be on the side of the fans........IN My OPINION

You have stated that the FIM followed correct procedures have you not? You was asked about this situation and we didn't get much of a response at first.Then all we have heard since from you is that the correct procedures were followed.This sort of information has been taken as gospel truth by people like Dave the mic and people who state otherwise are slated.Sorry if you get upset at that,but you chose to tell us this line And further to your post.I don't get any pleasure out of the poorly handled situation and get no pleasure out of arguing the toss with you.I feel there is something dodgy and it is worth arguing about though.Sure there are people who long for the old pre internet days when we couldn't find out anything other than the "official" line

Only for those who chose to believe Phil,rather than other sources of info.Wonder what dave the mic has to say? The thing is,we can believe this was incompetence.Which is what the germans stated.Or it was done on purpose because of the germans stance on the SEC.Either way i think Commando Armando has to take his fair share of the blame leading what is supposed to be a professional governing body

Let's hope they do change procedures,because at the moment it seems they stumble from one problem into another and all of their own making.Fingers crossed that yourmando Armando gets to grips with the place

Dave the mic isn't going to like you contradicting Phil.Fear we are in for another lecture!!!!lol

Going round in circles a bit here Phil.But applying this to the Gollob situation,how could the FIM announce an official line-up until Gollob had confirmed he was in?The official confirmation of course being his contract which he never sent!!!!

Ok Phil.A simple "yes" to my question would have sufficed lol.No ok i accept your explanation.But if they have been getting tough with the SEC protagonists for 12 months or so it brings us back to the telephone call/email that didn't arrive at the DMSB's hq asking for them to supply a rider for Poole......possibly also the Poles also weren't asked as seems to have been hinted at here.Two of the main players in the SEC.None of it really matters now i guess,but in my opinion enough suspicion remains

So we are pretty clear that the Monster deal was lost around the time the FIM were trying to get tough with the SEC,even if this had nothing at all to do with it?

Ok Phil i take your word for it.Although your word is slightly changing now.First you stated "he obviously didn't know",Now you say "Don't think Monster's decision was taken as early...."At first sure,now not so sure......

All great stuff for Tai + the sport Didn't Crump do something similar some years back? I know Franky Zorn,the Ice Speedway rider did http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/werkstatt/audi-sport-quattro-s1-vs-eissp-7623.htm

Yes was great to see Järf do well,but will he ride overseas this season?Thought he lacked the money last year.Have things changed?And was also good to see the next Aakko generation training as well

Could it be that he was in a way forced out?This is just me speculating,but of course FIM,BSI + Monster are all fairly close.Once it became known Gollob was still going to maintain contact,indeed ride in the SEC could it have been seen as detrimental to the GP competition to have a Monster rider in the rival series?

You are right.I was a bit afraid of outraging Parsloes by posting this,as nowhere do they mention the fact that Egon rode for Coatbridge + Hull when looking back over his career!!!!!! th I won't go there.....i got blocked from his Facebook friends list for making a comment on his youtube video of him singing Mandy.All i said was,i was quite worried that it sounded as if he was singing "happy people piss my way" rather than pass my way lol

Ooh er missus!!!!!Who rattled your cage? If we are dealing in facts,then to go by past experience Phil has also got things wrong on the odd occasion.Sure he will even hold his hand up to that.Generally two sides to a story and the other side seems to indicate something a bit dodgy has happened here.We'll probably never get to the bottom of it,unless Phil writes a book blowing the lid off what happens inside speedway.I had a feeling the respected journalist John Chaplin was thinking about doing something similar..... And for me this has nothing to do with Harris and all to do with the FIM

From his childhood up to current times http://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/s-h_magazin/media/shmag25457.html

Maybe he won't be asked or he might turn it down if asked.All is not lost yet!!!!

I'm not pleasing myself Phil.I am just stating what you so often tell us when something is posted,like say a venue for the GP......"Not finalised...."

So can you point us to the facts that air fences are dangerous or aren't better than what was there previously?And also if you only deal in facts,please point us to the lawsuit(s)

# We are almost always told info won't be released until everything is finalised.Think you might have told us that once or twice yourself........so?I stick by what i stated before.

I honestly don't see how next years line-up had been concluded when Gollob hadn't sent off his entry/acceptance papers,but hey ho!!
