No as what example does tai set to young kids and if lambert wins the world u21 will he then decide he is too good to ride in the uk and the British final next year but still expect a team gb place. However I can't see tai being dropped and that questions the way British speedway is run.

That's where you are lacking intelligence I don't hate tai, I am frustrated that he doesn't make better decisions and the fact he has a lot of yes people around him doesn't help. I was a big fan of Greg, known him personally for years, now I just don't like watching him off track since his huge monster deal,a 46 year old man acting like a 17 year old. Darcy, I don't hate him, another one who was surrounded by the wrong people,fundraising for a rider who earnt a million plus a year when a young Brit lives at home with his parents after a crash is wrong and that was my gripe not hatred of Darcy and his talent. As SL correctly said I have total respect of everyone who races a speedway bike and your constant drivel that I hate tai is wrong and again you have No Proof to back your claim up. Ps Do you have permission to use that picture of Lilly savage ?

It's clearly getting to tai by wearing a retro England shirt and by making a big deal about it but sadly it means nothing to him NOT riding in England to defend his National title or riding in England for Wheelchair bound riders. Tai needs to make a statement saying he is really sorry to the British riders and the fans for disrespecting the British Final and he will make a donation to the Ben fund, that would give him some respect back as a person and be good PR for him.

Yes Gavan (family friend of mark loram) where is your proof that people hate tai ? You keep wanting proof and as someone gave proof of what I said on another thread was true you failed to even apologize or comment on it as you knew I was right. So as SL said please provide proof who hates tai ?

Plus without the reigning British and world champion and on a school day. Why is it Not run on a Saturday night or a Sunday afternoon ?

I don't think that is an issue Phil it's the fact he is not riding in the British final and refuses to sing the British anthem but sings the Australian one. Tai is like marmite to British Fans but he also hasn't done himself any favours by snubbing the British final.

So Darcy Ward would have to pay then when he goes back to Poole

Tungate rode again tonight, that's two matches in consecutive days, superb recovery within 5 days

Small text on phone now I can see the mistake but you knew what I meant anyway. One would be enough if tai and the top boys bothered to turn up for those who are not as lucky as Darcy to have the huge support.

This is the post of the Week by Steve

Yes it would and I don't hate him just feel he has let the fans down and British speedway. I would always put my country first and respect the national title

Maybe he should do as he keeps saying he is tired

Sadly thats why hardly any ex riders bother going to speedway matches, it can be a hero to zero in speedway so quickly.

When you see a rider sing his heart out for the Australian anthem yet refuse to sing the British anthem then go on to refuse to race in the British speedway before announcing he doesn't want to ride in the British final, do you think he deserves to be captain of a national team ? I don't

Riding in the British Final should Not be about money but the honor of what it means to be in it as a Brit and to race in front of the British fans. If a rider doesn't want to be a part of the British final then he Shouldn't be part of the British team.

I think knowing both of them that middlo is by far the better team manager on the day and is more respected by the riders than alun. But that's just my opinion.

There is 7 days in a week it was a speedy recovery in 5 days. Brady Kurtz was brought in for a banned rider through no fault of Leicester Seeing tungate on Saturday made me suspect he could of rode but R/R using Doyle ect was better to scrape a win.

[quote name="Dazzafl" post="2795544" timestamp="1465553922 because when you even say you know what riders are being paid you lose all credibility.. how many titles have Holder,Zagar,Johnson,NKI & Bomber won... Holder once.. the rest none... How do I lose credibility when I know 2 top riders (1 now retired) well and know what they got in a deal and it was pretty amazing. I know a couple of riders in the uk and there deals, I also know of one young16 year old kid who wanted 2k cash to sign on plus a van and points money way above his standard. So tai has won just one more title than holder who leads the world championship As you know I don't do names and what they earn on here as its wrong. Tai is a disgrace to British speedway because Its about money over doing the right thing for the British fans.

Insulting a person who Actually knows a lot more about riders wages than you makes your post pathetic . Your post was simply a personal attack but you failed to add any knowledge you have because simply you know sod all. Time to stop the insults as it's not tough.

You brought up Nigel Pearson who is or was tai biggest fan, he was far from happy with tai snubbing the British final. What money are Holder,Zagar,Johnson,NKI & Bomber on as they are all GP riders and are more than happy to race in the UK on British wages.

You just cannot say it's about money without proof of a riders contract offer and you must name that rider as we just don't believe you that it's about money unless you have the contract and paper proof like Gavan,Bwitcher,stevebrum would all say we all want proof of your facts it's about money as we don't believe you LOL Your spot on its about the money even though tai was offered a good amount from sky but it wasn't enough.

. Like shale searcher said were you there Saturday to see the way he was moving about and how he even went on a bike for the winning parade,fans then questioned his injury, it doesn't sit well with me.

I have mentioned about the paralysed rider story ages ago when discussing the Ben fund,so it's not new. The word is respect

He scored 7pts from 4 rides at number 5 seems like he has made a very speedy recovery, the bspa won't investigate Swindon using R/R which is a sad day for the sport.

You really are stupid. #YAWN
