nw42

Bit harsh, only passing comment. I'd rather watch speedway than almost anything else that might be on my screen, doesn't mean I have to be impressed with it. Anyway, I've got a pound e/w on Vaculik @40/1, so I'm still interested.

I'd agree that it ranks alongside the Scandinavian stuff, although the Polish league holds a bit more interest for me. I suppose it depends on what else you might want to do with your early evening, I've nothing else to do.

Seemed as though Gollob went to sleep for a moment there, hope they are both ok. edit, after watching the replays, perhaps the low sun had some input, either way it's a shame to end a meeting like that.

Fantastic ride when it mattered from Zagar then, real pressure situation for him. That girl in the crowd who was jumping up and down in celebration needs to be careful, she could have someones eye out.

Anyone else think 8/1 is a bit generous for Mataj Zagar to win the GP in his homeland tomorrow? I'm having a little bite at that price, he's having probably his best season to date, his bikes are fast and he is bound to be in the mood tomorrow.

It is mentioned on here josie but it's in another thread.

You implied in the appropriate thread that you been at the track tonight, so, what's your version of events now you've had time to calm down and stop creating threads? Considering you expect a sacking in the morning you must have seen something fairly bad, what happened in your view, were you close to where it all happened, I mean exactly how far is Cuckoo Land from Saddlebow Rd?

Exactly, hence the dope remark. Obviously I wasn't there and we can only go off what we're told but from what's been said so far it's not even handbags, just Bridger throwing his weight around, so as you said yourself it will probably lead to nothing, it's a mans sport after all. Although bullying is out of order if it's heat of the moment stuff and no blows were exchanged then it's just a case of move along there's nothing to see..

You'll need to go to the match thread to find that out, surely you must realise that. This is the EL section. <mod note: just so people dont think nw42 is mad, all THJ/KKS/HRF etc duplicate topics have been merged which is why this now looks out of place!>

But you started the Bridger stuff you dope. I'd like to discuss it here please. <mod note - please do as you are perfectly entitled to obviously > Was Bridger restrained by anyone, or was he just shouting and gesticulating? I hope this doesn't lead to Lambert deciding not to ride here any longer, not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere

What are you wobbling on about?

I've seen/heard all that rubbish, maybe it's something from a couple of years back regarding the standard of his machinery, or maybe I'm wrong, either way he has certainly upped his game this season. I hope he does really well, it's not often you hear the words 'likeable' and 'German' in the same sentence but he definitely seems to fit that mould, good luck to him.

True and I really wish him well, I'm sure if he can use GP status correctly back home he will be able to garner some decent sponsorship, Germans like their motorsport don't they, talk of a GP there too, looks like it may be a big big year for Martin, good luck to him.

Can't argue with you on the Kasper/Harris score, KK has had to do it the hard way and Chris has been given the ticket for being the best of British, I don't think there's much between them in terms of winning ability though and I'd rather watch Harris race any day of the week, each to their own though. As for the others, Bjerre is the least interesting of them all for me but, as someone pointed out earlier, he was leading after 2 gp's a couple of years ago, so maybe he will do something next year, I don't find him very exciting to watch though. I like what I've seen of Smolinski in the Elite League, I like his character to, always interviews well, but this is a massive step up, equipment will be a factor and from what I gather he's not known for having the best kept machinery.

Embarrassing - again, why are you embarrassed? You didn't say he shouldn't have taken it but your post definitely came across as though you were having a go at Harris himself, just like JT's continuous message tonight. Of course everyone's entitled to their opinion but some of the bile directed at Chris Harris on here is totally unjust imo, he always gives his all whenever he rides, whoever he rides for, he's put bums on seats at plenty of tracks and I'm struggling to think of a more consistently exciting British rider over recent years. Of course he's not hit the heights we all wanted for him when he set Cardiff alight back in 07 but I don't think anyone could say it's not for the want of trying. If you weren't having a go at Harris himself then fair enough but that's not what came across. If your point is directed at the people who have given him the chances then why not say so and use their names, instead of bashing the rider?

Great post Kev, that's exactly what I thought of when I saw the thread title, he did my head in most of the time but that particular piece of commentary was gold, perfection personified. RIP Tony. Ps, Any idea where was Leigh Adams born?

This grass of yours Alan, it certainly gets some love and attention, either that or you must have about 50 acres to tackle. Anyway, enjoy the weather, some sun coming our way this week, apparently.

I'm sure someone will find a working one, otherwise it's going to be a long old Tuesday evening. Looks like you're on your own Paul, you are our window on the world, what a title, embrace it.

Anyone do me the honours please, hopefully be able to catch some of this

I wholeheartedly agree with you Mary, it's nothing short of a disgrace. My main concern is that there may be even more provocative pictures of those poor exploited women, rest assured I'll find them if they are out there. This sort of thing needs stamping on! In the meantime, do you have a link to the ones they use in the European Championship, I need them for my investigation

Shame really, that last lap was unbelievable.

Calm down Henry, have you completely missed the meaning of the word 'paramount'? I never said points weren't important, I said it was more important (perhaps paramount) to ensure Emil was out of the meeting, which is exactly what happened. If Adams wasn't there then fair enough, I never heard that said and assumed he would be in attendance, like previous GP's.

Not making sense - do you really think he would have had any instruction from Pete Adams other than to ensure that he finished behind Pedersen, that was the important thing, points were not paramount at that time, the chance to put Emil out of the meeting was. That's why he looked for him, that's why he let him past, that's why he poodled around in 3rd place. Which part of that makes no sense? No doubt you will harp on about the point he dropped, yes it may cost him in the long run, but the overall gain was there for the taking. We'll agree to disagree if you like, been a decent meeting, shame to spoil the thread with arguments.

Could it be these Golden tyres? He's certainly found something good.

Just shows the benefit of the cameras, anyone else think Tai had cut across too close and picked him up. Replay showed there was no contact. Phew. Hope Tai can do that again, perhaps a cutback this time. Because he could have come unstuck if he'd been 2nd and the leader had fell/ef. The benefits of ensuring Emil does not get another ride tonight were much too big to mess around with. It's only my opinion but I reckon it's valid, especially when you see the replay and Tai is looking for Pedersen to pass him on the back straight. Anyway, Tai Woffinden, World Champion 2013. Got a nice ring to it, come on Tai, bring it home.
