  1. In my mind Cook Worrall Auty are not going to be any better than the level that Kennett King are at now and what Stead and Howe were at 5 years ago. It is my opinion but I don't think they will make true Grand Prix riders like Nicholls and Harris were.
  2. Nicholls and Harris are pretty much the same level. One has won a gp one is 7 times national champion. The argument Harris would put more on the gate is tosh. Neither is more deserving than the other which is why the choice to give it to Harris is totally disgraceful and wrong. Either give it to 2nd in the British final or give a youngster a chance. Personally none of our other guys are ready and in my mind never will be. Could anyone honestly see Cook or Worrall doing what Mjj did or Zmarlik? We don't have that strength in depth and it looks a long way off to me! If bomber got 2nd fair play. He didn't and shouldn't be there. The fact he whined and whined just makes me hope he gets a big fat zero!
  3. Always remember watching Ben Howe as a youngster mascot and he was sensational. Moved into the team and was brilliant initially but career dipped alarmingly never fulfilled his potential to me. Riders i liked to watch and in some cases under rated Dean Standing Craig Hyde Sam Tesar (not Vladimar Kinder who came with him) Also when i was young i used to watch the juniors and hoped they would go on to something riders like Robbie Fuller, Lawrie Bloomfield and latterly Darrren Fitch and Emerson Fairweather.Any ideas on what happened to those guys?
  4. something intelligent rich coming from a poole fan. what was wrong with the quote? you had a ringer last year - fact. Ward & Holder are nowhere near the league form they were last year - fact. and for seem reason Miskowiak is seen as the answer? and you boys wonder why everyone is anti poole its because the majority of you speak crap
  5. pinstripe , internetman, and all the other poole boys......................get over yourselves!!!
  6. nothing like taking it well! no ringers on false averages and a top 2 who clearly have their minds elsewhere!! and some people down dorset way are saying we will be ok when Miskowiak comes back!!! sorry my sides are splitting!
  7. im confused, how do you score 265 when nobodys scores end in a 5? Having Emil, Jarek , Tai and Holder adds up to 260 on the above chart? Have i missed a change in the scoring system. Regards
  8. everyone should be ok - North has bottled riding so nobody will be fenced
  9. suppose that was a bit of justice tai going out but another good performance proving he is world class now
  10. I want tai to win especially against nicki but he straightened up lost control and hit nicki so should have gone! got away with it so come on tai!
  11. there was 1 line last night which is why cookie moved out to the dirt! if you watched closely the riders off the inside were pointing there bikes outwards off the line. you couldnt stay on the inside a la heat 15 because you would just get passed! im not arguing more positives than negatives but by some peoples reaction you would think it was miles ahead of anything we had seen already in the elite league and it wasnt. Ashley Birks looked brilliant when gating and couldnt pass later on because he stuck inside. ditto David Howe. Aarnio and Palm Toft would never have won there races unless they were off 4. it was an average meeting but yes better than monday. ive said dyer was unlucky to be excluded but he did lock up a bit and turn left that is obvious from the replays. if someone parks it on the corner and gets hit do you exclude the following rider for not moving or the guy who stops in the corner? in my opinion Dyer didnt park it to much or turn appreciably left to be excluded and i would in this case excluded Howe. However i can see why the ref made his decision. Rene Bach cost Workington last night not heat 15
  12. absolutly spot on! tough call to make though some are blinkered. i would have excluded Howe but not as clean cut as some on here seem to think
  13. if im being 100% honest phil i think it almost is these days. If say Kennett wins it yes he will like being champion but i bet he is more gutted to be missing cardiff. The only reason i said Scott should boycott it is because has has won it a record amount of times
  14. unless someone turns left on him in the middle of the bend! think dyer was unlucky but it was a 50/50 call
  15. we have all been over the place watching the sport. my point is that we could have peterborough on sky next week and it could be boring as hell. the coventry meeting was poor because coventry didnt turn up. think people are going overboard about last nights meeting and im a huge premier league fan. the kings lynn v poole meeting was just as good
  16. rubbish!! ive seen good and bad meetings at all sorts of tracks. your 1 of these people who believe fast tracks equals good racing - it doesnt!! ive been to peterborough where they have thrashed sides and all that happened was the peterborough riders trapped and went! boring racing. watch someone like Loram PK and the like on the technical tracks actually line someone up throw them a dummy and get there wheels in line and pass. far more skilful than someone just blasting round the boards. and yes i have seen good meetings at peterborough as well. my point is that good racing can happen on any track premier or elite. if you just want to see peterborough, kings lynn, sheffield and Scunthorpe then you are not really a fan of the sport are you
  17. firstly this isnt Chris Harris fault so those abusing how he has done in the series and all that should lay off of him. secondly it is hugely the wrong decision! i can see why they done it with him being a previous winner at Cardiff and being honest he would probably be more competitive than any other Brit apart obviously from Tai. Nicholls and Harris are slowly in decline think that is obvious and riders like Kennett and King and possibly Cook and Auty have seen there chance taken away from then. If i was Nicholls with 7 titles already i would just not bother riding and stick 2 fingers up to the authorities. He has won it 7 times so deserves, out of form or not, the chance to ride at Cardiff. Disgraceful
  18. it is a good track yes but why do people insist that a fast track must be good racing!!! basically if you were off gate 4 and in the dirt that was it!! best racer we have ever seen in my opinion is Mark Loram and to watch him ride eastbourne and wolves was a joy to behold. lets get away from fast tracks make good racing!
  19. did you watch the meeting? wasnt a classic was it? gate 4 was a huge advantage. if you think exciting speedway is going out in the dirt from the start and going quick then thats up to you. only 1 line on the track which was totally proved time and again. even the commentators and Tai were telling riders to go out wide! My team are in the premier league but good meetings can happen on ANY track premier or elite. Point proved in heat 15 saying great ride by Cook. He didnt have to do anything as Howe bottled it around the kerb. Take your fast track blinkers off!! last nights as better because only 1 team turned up on Monday! you need 2 good teams to make a good meeting simple as. i thought the scunny match was processional in places to well both Rosco and Tai whose opinion i value far more than yours said Dyer was more at fault so to call the ref is a disgrace is a bit of a joke. this is the same ref who should have excluded Holder in the last gp but didnt. Bet he wasnt a disgrace then was he with your beloved pirate. I thought Dyer was unlucky to be excluded but the ref isnt a disgrace
  20. i wasnt digging him out. he has been fantastic and he will have bad meetings. But on the pace or not any rider that scores zero has had a bad night. Im not worried in the slightest about Adam
  21. lets look at the facts. we got stuffed!! Barker aside it was woeful and yes Adam has been fantastic but he had a poor meeting on a track he hadnt seen. the 1 rider who needs to go is Risager basically he is so poor its untrue. wouldnt have saved us last night but he needs to go. Personally we have done ok so far as we at last have a good number 1 and 2 reserves
  22. firstly what a fantastic competition you run here tnt but............................i think you got emils score to low here and most will pick him!! now waiting for egg on my face lol
