Its unfair, circus like, and has no place in serious world sporting events..

Had non speedway friends round, and they found the joker thing quite amusing, said they could never take speedway serious if that's the way its run. I had to agree....

Another reason to get rid of the ridiculous joker rule. Its more like 'Its a knock-out' than a professional World Cup event...

Second and third was irrelevant. Australia predictably won it, and that was the only thing at stake..

Its got 1.Denmark 2.Poland 3.Aussie 4.Czech written all over it. Its been a predictable World Cup, the final wont be any different..

Only a sport run by clowns could have jokers. Absolutely ridiculous...

The Poles and Danes will dominate the World Cup for many years to come, as they have talented youngsters in abundance, and existing World class riders in their ranks. Its a grim future for GB imo...

Your question has been answered topaz...a big NO I believe.

John Davis rolled more at the starts than a golf ball on a hill, he would never win a race under current rules..

That's a dead cert if Sky pull the plug...

Teams may well look a lot different next season....

Lewis was impressive at the Showground last month, scoring 12+1 guesting for a well beaten Eastie. He looks a much better all rounder this year, and he deserves a team place IMO...

The search is on

Im sure it wont happen again in my lifetime..

Having watched the superb 2009 meeting at the EOES, I would suggest it goes back there until the National Stadium is ready.

Like having Joey Barton, Suarez and Evra in the same dressing room...

But your not Craig, your only half way up the mountain....

Lots of people refuse to sing it, especially if they don't believe in an imaginary friend or they are republican...

Am I missing something here

He's not the first to decline in recent years though, is he...

All I ever see this bleached blonde mentor do is slap riders on the ass when they push off, why on earth is he there

Why no Rory Schlein ??? Does his face not fit in the Aussie 'mates' club....

Don't agree with any of that, and comparing Kennett to Gollob is like comparing MK Dons to Barcelona....

The result was never in doubt, the only point of last night was to find the 3rd place team, and well done USA. Barker and Bridger for the play off is an excellent choice, Cook is clearly not ready and Kennett was never a good choice. Thursday is basically a meeting to decide the bronze medal, Poland and Denmark are light years ahead...

We were wrong there, and that will make the task on Thursday even harder. Choice of guest will be pivotal....
