The White Knight

I find it encouraging that Mr. Hedley is talking about next year too. Good luck to Tero too. Best wishes to Lewis as well. In my opinion Newcastle should do everything they can to hang on to him. I think he could be a real talent.

Mmmmm possibly - I hadn't thought of that. You should never assume anything though - certainly not in Speedway.

I couldn't agree more. Perhaps they considered him too good for the Draft......

Many a true word spoken in jest.

It does in Hazzard County. :D

Brilliant gesture. I hope Rory is progressing well.

You are better off with a Single Malt. 'Scotch' of course. :approve: :approve:

I hope it isn't too serious. The 'Diamonds' can ill afford to lose any more Riders through injury.

I hadn't realised that the Higgs Boson Collider had been going so long. :D Pedantic I know. BUT, Game Set and Match to me I think. If you believe Wikipedia.

I actually agree with you BW. However Lucifer Sam clearly stated that Lee was not a National League Rider. I merely pointed out that he was for a spell.

Contradicted yourself there mate. He did ride in National League for Boston ergo he was a National League Rider. Unless I am missing something of course. Perhaps Boston were not in the National League - and it was all a dream. :rolleyes:

Well done Aleksandr - you did it. :rofl:

That is an understatement. Sod off!!!

I did - but I don't now. I really thought that when he was given the Captaincy he would kick on. I am genuinely disappointed that he hasn't because I believed he had potential. I honestly wanted to give him a chance this year. Sorry if you disagree - that is your right........

"igigigigig - I'll get them Dook Boys" Quote: Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Yes - but I thought this would be a big year for him. I thought that the extra responsibility of being Team Captain might have spurred him on to greater things. For once this isn't a dig at him - I am truly disappointed.

I did not miss the sarcasm - but - I agreed with the statement.

Sadly Lindgren isn't tearing up any trees this Season.......................

Nice Post Thumper and how true. Welcome to the Forum by the way.

There you go again BW. If anyone has the effrontery to disagree with you you turn to personal insult. I can and do understand the Debate. I even understand your argument that most of the top Riders were in Division One. That, though, does not alter the fact that the old National League was a bloody good League with lots of exciting Racing. What I don't understand is how you can call a League that contained at one time or another John Louis, Peter Collins, Michael Lee and Gordon Kennett to name just four, mediocre. I know that there were journeymen Riders in the old Second Division but there were journeymen Riders too in Division One and if you are honest you will admit that. Nobody, as I understand it, is saying that Division Two was better than Division One - it wasn't - it was still a great League though with some great Teams in it.

Oh - but I think it has. I watched National League Racing week in, week out, year in and year out, so like sydney, I am qualified to comment. I had not realised you were making your judgement on a few U-Tube clips. The National League was a very good, entertaining League to watch. I know I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a tough League, a very tough League and it certainly was not mediocre. How could it be mediocre with all the Stars of the British League emanating from it. I am sorry BW, but I am with sydney on this one.

Happy days. :approve:

I wasn't expecting this Result. Nice to see 'Robbo' have a return to some sort of form though. He has struggled badly this Season so far.

I would suspect not. Surely, had they done so, things would have been changed. I wonder if all this 'hoo haa' would have happened had Somerset won? Just a thought..........................

I cannot be bothered to trail back through all of the Posts on this Thread but I am sure I read that the Redcar Team Manager had queried this issue with both the Referee and the Somerset Management. If this is so, Redcar have done nothing wrong, on the contrary they tried to do the right thing. If the Referee was satisfied and the Somerset Management were satisfied - you can hardly blame Redcar or their Management Team. The correct Decision was reached allowing the Result to stand. ????? Is it not disrupted enough already? :shock:
