Personally Phil i didn't have a problem with Sky's coverage of the GPs.I thought apart from one or two of the commentators it was pretty good.The problem for me came with the boring draw for the semis and final and there Sky were just showing what BSI/IMG were putting on as entertainment.Ok,they could have just missed that,had a chat and then gave us the results,but imo it was crap.Glad they have got shot of it. Add to that the fact they had to try and make some boring GPs entertaining.You will admit BSI/IMG and not Sky were responsible for some of the dreadful tracks we have witnessed?

I don't have to wait.I tell it like i see it straight away.Try and make a decent contribution to the forum once in a while.I think you will see that i was one of the forum members who didn't think the Euro League would work right from the start.Didn't have to wait for it to fail before putting my opinion on here.It does however seem a bit ironic that after all the stick "the know" has been getting for saying amongst other things he thinks the GPs have gone stale that now Phil mentions Sky coverage had gone stale.Maybe it isn't all to do with the coverage,but actually "the know" is right.But you wouldn't expect Phil to say BSI/IMG have run out of ideas.Easier to blame a tv company who have dropped out..........i await your contribution!!!!!

Phil likes to wait until someone is down before putting the boot in.Well apart from Charlie the talented girl in the pits.I get the feeling Phil doesn't like her much and she hasn't even hit the floor yet

Not sure on everyone who was there,but Mikkel Michelsen,Rasmus Jensen and Nicklas Porsing were.That is if we include Mikkel Bech as one of the big guys

Berlin not only saw a great weekend of ice speedway,but also the public launch of the partnership between Zielona Gora and Berlin Wolfslake.falubaz riders will be in the Wolfslake Bundesliga team and there will be a big meeting in Wolfslake on the 8.may with riders including Jarek Hampell and Adreas Jonsson http://falubaz.com/pl/Galeria/Inne/Sezon-2013/Ice-Challenge-2013-Wilmersdorf-Berlin There is also an online report from the ice speedway on rbb and i think i heard that the full meeting is online somewhere.klick-sport or something like that

Surely almost the exact time Lee came into the sport was also the time this "bikes were more equal" was going out of the window.Neil Street and then Weslake 4 valve and it just went on from there......

Is that the message?Is it because of lack of fans or just that speedway isn't as prestigious as other sports?At least in Poznan or to the Poznan council.What sports will be included in the new stadium as there are few that are more popular,but plenty that are internationally more prestigious

Exciting times in Finland then.Good to see that Estonia are also hosting 80cc speedway.No Lahti brothers in any squads?

Great stuff.I heard from one Danish official that he was rather happy that his club wouldn't be qualifying for this great competition

No the team championship will be better than that.It will also be better than the previous attempt when Swedish and German teams rode in the danish superliga.This will include British teams.......So it will be even better than when the Polish 2nd divison included a few foreign teams

Bet you're walking with a swagger because of that

It is just as easy to ignore or make excuses.Should we ignore or make excuses for all the child molesters just because they are good entertainers,can sing a good song or preach a good sermon?This is a poor attitude that luckily Matt Ford doesn't share.I hope Darcy listens to people like him rather than people like you and accepts he has a problem and accepts help,rather than listen to people telling him any critics are just jealous

Have a guess who will be a grumpy face if the answer is yes

I think as an end result it is very important as to what is recorded.That is why i think he was cleverly advised.Say's he didn't do it and it goes to court and all sorts including drugs and drink might have been on his record.The way this has gone all he ends up with is a fine for motorbike incidents.Nowhere near as bad.So,end result he is pretty clean and can come and go as he wants i would imagine.This as it is intended,doesn't hurt his job.Like i said,when anyone looks up his record they won't see any newspaper reports.......or forum threads

Wasn't he the one behind the push to bring Argentina into the international calendar?

I'm sure it is if there is anything to find.Now we aren't talking about the newspaper report,but convictions or fines.So what is there to be found?As far as i can understand there is no conviction and just a fine for riding a bike without a licence:That isn't going to prevent anyone entering any country is it?A genuine question as that is how i understand the situation

But why?When they look in any records just what for international customs is there to find?

Honest guv.3 of us were together and as we came off the plane literally......just a few steps from the door two coppers were waiting there.We walked along a bit surprised and waited a while before passport check,but he never came.We had to then explain to his girlfriend he had disappeared of the face of the planet.But a day or so later he called from Scotland.So the police do get wind of things.Think he had done a runner from some outstanding trouble up there.Quite minor really.But i really can't see darcy getting any trouble from this.I doubt police look at newspaper reports and what if anything that would be listed for international police wouldn't imo be an awful lot

Police certainly get info.I came back from a trip abroad and the police were there waiting for a mate of mine as soon as he got off the plane and escorted him up to Scotland.This does seem to be pretty minor(on the face of it) and like others have said his guilty plea was probably made to make his entry into the country(and other countries)easier

If he is going to be a bit of a loose canon like maybe Best and only hurt himself and his own career then no problems.But at the moment i can't see the comparison.He seems more like some stars who have been in the press recently who hurt others as well.Fingers crossed we don't have to compare him to any who let fame go to their head and couldn't keep themselves under control

Heard Egon will be at my local track on sunday with a couple of the bikes for a few local riders (Stephan Katt,Matten Kröger,Danny Maaßen etc)to try out.Hope the weather doesn't spoil it as i would like to pop along and have a look

I'm not having a go at you,just your theory.Which appears to be saying this is all a fuss about nothing and you are blowing it out of proportion because it is darcy.you might as well add that everyone is doing it,just to back up Middlo.Sorry,but at least Matt Ford has recognised this isn't a fuss about nothing

Yeah right.Your crap theory rates alongside Freud.I suppose Middlo is Einstein......

Let's face it that is a pretty poor theory you have there

Rubbish.Why was he in a no win situation?He didn't actually have to say anything.As for "off the cuff".....this was a very serious incident and i doubt he just bumped into the journalist while out walking the dog or something......
