Even as a Poole fan, he was bit of a handful. He actually knocked me down the steps at Wimborne Road when he was being a pr*ck and jumping around... -

At least the British riders should be more competitive... -
His name was Raymond Arthur Bales. Apparently, when he first started at Norwich, Stars manager Dicky Wise could never remember "Raymond", and started calling him "Billy". It just stuck...

It would be nice - and respectful - if you could learn to spell "Brennan"... -

Now, let's look at my rough forecast from Thursday... Poland - Bartek didn't reach the 15, but Janowski was spot on, and Dudek was close. Denmark - Madsen was top scorer (as I thought he would be), Thomsen was only a couple out, and I over-rated Michelsen. GB - Bewley wasn't as good as we thought (or hoped), Woffy should have been closer (considering the start he had), and Lambert was pretty damn close. Australia - Jack Holder would probably have been closer, while Doyle was top scorer instead of second-highest. I clearly over-estimated Fricke. So, I did say that while the Aussies appeared to be the strongest on paper, a lot depended on Fricken and Lidsey; and that is why they failed. Denmark had Jensen, and nobody expected that performance. GB had both Bewley and Woffinden under-performing, which proved their undoing. One good race from either (when they slipped up), and we would have had it, but Kubera made the difference for Poland. Kubera and Jensen were the two I hadn't listed. -

The theory was sound - in theory! It's amazing how much thought goes into stuff like this, but in practice, it rarely turns out the way it was planned. -

Lambert letting Janowski past cost us the gold. Brennan not scoring points cost us the gold. Bewley only scoring 9 cost us the gold. Ellis not winning races cost us the gold. See? It was a team effort. All it would have taken was ONE race, and we would have had the gold. -
