Strong words for someone who " Couldn't give a damn "

Amazing how these threads on Tai Woffinden turn stupid in your opinion when he starts getting stick,.it seems to happen eventually on every Tai Woffinden thread, although according to some he doesn't divide opinion. The only thing more predictable on these threads than Robert72 criticising Tai Woffinden is you defending him, you are both as bad as each other. If Steve Shovlar is correct with his source then I'm not surprised Tai is hiding in the shadows, not much of a team man if his demands are correct. And before you label me a hater I was there in Gorzow this weekend with my 8 foot Tai Woffinden which he kindly acknowledged. This does not blinker my view that I think he makes incorrect decisions from time to time and I wont defend him relentlessly like yourself , mainly because he's your mate and for no other reason.

The problem is, Tai Woffinden is only 25 and its really all come to an end in Britain. Understandably there is no chance of a return for a full Elite League season , the British Final has been ditched this year, the World Cup has been binned now and I wouldn't hang your hat on the training schools either. Our best rider in the modern era has essentially and gradually ' checked out of Britain '. Yes there will be one appearance at Cardiff every year, but as a British fan its crumbs off the table.. I can't get my head round the fact that posters on here who are British speedway fans (the White Knight) recently are precisely not bothered about Britain's best rider not riding for GB in the World Cup , even more galling is he wont give the fans that support him any genuine reason why . People seem excited and comfortable with the stark fact that Britain's multi World Champion's only input into British speedway is wearing a Union Jack race jacket in the GP.. Whats the point of having a World Champion we never see ?

Clegg's been riding well for weeks . Keep Up

My point is the two biggest contributors on all things Wolves Speedway are you and Bwitcher. Its a little hard taking your opinions seriously when neither of you attend in person. Surprised you didn't go tonight with Woffinden being your favourite beau

Yawn , Lovers gonna Love

Seems pretty clear " the World Champion returned to Monmore " " You Didn't "

Surely Matt Ford will be pulling a rabbit out of the hat with a team change.Don't think this team is good enough to win the play offs in its current form

As you started this thread maybe you should have amended it to " return of the Champ " but not me

If he wears his heart on his sleeve then how come he can't put this dispute out in the open. If he is standing down from Team GB then out the BSPA for what you believe they are, outline your plans / suggestions that you have submitted and tell us your frustration as to why they are not been followed through and let us the fans decide. Or for someone who is so outspoken you can decide to hide behind a wall of silence or the odd cryptic tweet leading to more confusion and resentment

Andrew Strauss hopeless as England captain. ? You must have a short memory ! 2nd on the list of captains, in all time wins for England and one of only 3 England captains to win Ashes series in both England and Australia. Hopeless , Really ?

Agree totally with your post. Pietersen fell out with people at every club he played for, but if you listen to him everyone else is at fault its never him. Graham Norton got it right when he said "after reading your book have you ever thought maybe team sports are not for you" As for Tai its easy and convenient to walk away without giving a full explanation,particularly to the fans that support you. Whats the betting if the World Cup is in Manchester again in 2018 he comes crawling back at his own convenience . Sorry If he turns it down in 2017 then we move on regardless without him. His fanboys as you describe them don't think Tai Woffinden divides opinion. I beg to differ.

Maybe Woffinden was looking for a way out. He managed to find a way out of the British Final now he has found a way out of the World Cup. For someone who is so outspoken, the silence in his willing to reveal the detail is deafening.

,Get Well Soon Charlie , speedway fans are thinking of you

Why doesn't Tai make em an offer ? seriously

Who needs a press release Steve when you've made up your mind already .. Seriously how can a speedway rider exile himself from a tournament which is 11 months away and make it known he might be available for the corresponding tournament 23 months away. Absolute Madness. Normally with an industrial dispute time is a precious commodity. There is oodles of time in this case to exhaust all avenues , compromises, disagreements, etc Maybe we need someone from the speedway world to mediate, wonder if Phil Rising is available

If all he is after is reasonable change from the Bspa in regard to Team GB then why all the cloak and dagger stuff. Tai , we will respect you a whole lot more if you are straight and transparent If not don't be surprised by the criticism that comes your way.

At the end of the day if we need to move on without Woffinden then so be it, Nobody can force him to ride.Lets hope the BSPA can continue to implement plans,and make changes to support Team GB.in the future. Sure we may not be as potent force without Tai ,but felt next year we will struggle anyway Woffinden or not , having to go through qualifiers and an overseas round. Hopefully the remainder of this years squad and the young riders we have will see it as an incentive to represent GB in the World Cup. I will support them whatever the side Rosco picks. Yes not having Tai Woffinden is a big loss, for GB and the World Cup as a whole, but what can you do ?

Did you see our fans at Manchester for the speedway World Cup and the reception Tai Woffinden got, did that look like the actions of fans that can't stand one of their own succeeding. Unfortunately you overlook the fact that just because people are successful it does not mean they are perfect and beyond any criticism . Unfortunately you live and die by your own actions / behaviour. If Tai Woffinden does not want to ride for Team GB at the world cup he should be MAN enough to tell those who support him the reasons why, not putting out childish cryptic tweets, which just muddy the waters. Time to be straight with us the fans or risk being a multiple British World Champion resented by British fans for the rest of your career. It doesn't have to be this way !

How can you be booked up when the date is not out ?

Nothing on social media as yet from Rosco Rossiter . Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Regularly waxes lyrical about Tai Woffinden and also praises the BSPA on TV this weekend. Which side will he take ? Interesting Maybe Tai Woffinden should run the BSPA . No problem getting his ideas through then . Not sure he has time in his schedule

Wasn't born then

He does the same when he covers darts, because speedway is a Pearson shutout we don't have much to compare him to. At the darts in my opinion, of the newcomers Stuart Pike and Rod Studd are better commentators .

Seriously how can you ensure something and get paid out on the basis that it was a man made cock up, which those taking out the insurance were aware of. just saying

Don't worry White Knight dust off your programme board ,tactical subs to return next year, ( current proposal to be used when any team is in any deficit ) Ah, fairness will return at long last along with your good self
