If you had said you were Autistic I would cut you some slack, nice to see you've picked up on the bullying accusations and turned it around on me, must feel pleased with yourself about that. Nothing offensive about Autism, you obviously don't realise you probably are and I suggest you get tested. My attitude towards Autism is to accept those with it and make adjustments on how I communicate with them. Like I said I have no interest in "debating" Covid19 other than it's impact on Speedway as this topic I remind you is in the "Speedway News and Discussions" thread, perhaps this topic should be moved out of the way into "General Discussions". So, as you've neglected to answer a direct question all I can say is... See you next Tuesday

When it was done in the early 00's I think, of those still left, the SWC was held at the likes of Peterborough, Poole, KL, Eastbourne, Sheffield

Some already think that because the name "Speedway of Nations" doesn't include the words world and cup that it lacks gravitas and I can see that point of view for somebody outside of Speedway. Whatever it's called I think it'll need to be sanctioned by the FIM for riders to be required to ride and not forced to stay in Poland and concentrate on their league... I think we're allowed small digressions now and again aren't we

I'm going to break with my usual "See you next Tuesday " response to you and ask you a simple question... I'm not interested in Covid19 on these forums anymore other than its impact on Speedway... here is my question: BWitcher are you Autistic?

"Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior. The term "spectrum" in autism spectrum disorder refers to the wide range of symptoms and severity."

BSPL seem pretty confident that it'll be the same 1-7's next year though... I can see this one turning sour, we know there's no loyalty in the game

I'm not even sure he's a Speedway fan. I can't recall seeing him post anywhere about speedway other than bullying somebody about Tai Woffinden once. I soon became uncomfortable about contributing on that topic as he was acting like he thought he was some kind of Perry Mason lawyer character constantly posting "facts" and "evidence" etc. against somebody's "opinion" With his socially retarded obsessive posts I suspect he's somewhere on the Autism spectrum, so I should probably cut him some slack. With his obsession it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't have another account in a different name so he can agree with himself. It truly is bizarre and a little bit sad

We'll see... if they don't there goes the same 1-7's as this year. If they have been given a signing on fee for the 2020 season, they may not want to pay this back and that maybe a reasonfor them to stay

Yes all makes perfect sense, somebody should show Emil this as he's spelling his own name incorrectly on his own website and socials and Antonio, surely if that's how they spell their name that's how they spell their name... it's like my name is actually Raymond Luxury-Yacht but pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove Only 2 of the 8 rounds are at Gorzow though... he's not shown much elsewhere Hmm... remains to be seen if this will actually happen, can see a few teams who may think the likes of Holder, Lidsey & Lambert will be riding on false averages after having particularly good years while some other riders haven't even turned a wheel. I know this sounds crazy now but this is Speedway we're talking about but I can imagine a time in the future where riders riding on dual passports will be doubling up for multiple countries SSmarzlik hasn't shown much away from Gorzow this year for me, he's up there in the stats, but only because he's unbeatable around his home track

Personally I'd like to see a World Cup run every year but maybe mix the format up a bit, 1 year WTC (4 riders 1 reserve), 1 year SoN (2 riders 1 reserve) and 1 year Full 18 heat 8 man test matches. I think they had the SWC about right in the early days when it was all held in 1 country, giving the media a chance to get behind it. Obviously the Poles don't need the media attention. I think mixing the formats up may also mix the winners up.

I don't think there's one recipe to build a great rider is there... Or else everybody would do it and be great

Is it just me or is this behaviour just beyond bizarre... I genuinely think this guy needs help. Does anybody on this forum actually know BWitcher in person? Because I think you need to carry out an intervention. I can't make up my mind whether he's a bully or mentally ill, maybe a bit of both. PLEASE! this guy needs your help. BWitcher I plead with you, please go see a doctor... when the NHS reopens of course

I've not noticed this, I'll keep an eye out for that. I wonder why though, surely you spell your name how you spell your name. It's a bit like in Eurovision when France refer to Britain as Grande Bretagne or Germany as Allemagne. If Germany call themselves Germany they should be referred to as Germany... although don't they refer to themselves as Deutschland? I'm confused

No, none at all... You? Thanks for asking though

See you next Tuesday

Not for me obvs... but some people may find it helpful https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00YZKUX3A

Pedersen has beef with everybody doesn't he? Even his own pit crew Also, unrelated... Why is Lindback, Lindbaeck in Poland... surely his name is his name? ... And I predict a bog roll shortage soon in Poland

I disagree... I think all these things build a rider, they don't just suddenly become good overnight due to luck. There would be many factors involved in Doyle and Madsen becoming world class. Dedication, sacrifice and mental strength appear to be big deciders on whether a rider is going to "make it"

Sounds like you and "Webbo" had the balls to meet up

To see if what he posts on here he'd say to my face? Nothing schoolboy about it at all, just common decency... I've been called a cretin, an idiot & stupid by this bully and the sick comments about the death of my father... But if you want to stick up for the bully and join in with the name calling that's your choice. Just take a look back through his posts to see what an aggressive bully he is to a lot of people

There is no argument... you only have to look at his posts to see the guy is just a bully, he's posted some pretty vile things in reply to me, especially regarding the death of my father. I don't want him replying to or even reading my posts. I've offered to meet him face to face... of course he didn't reply to that!

Yeah I went the once, really enjoyed it and the thing I remember about it the most was that they had a type of "Briggo Wonder Wheel" years before Briggo came up with the idea. Wasn't the track at the A66/A19 intersection?

A lot of things there you just don't see anymore, Middlesbrough for one, touring foreign teams, riders sharing a fag in the pits and most missed of all, by me, a rider wearing a neckerchief!

see you next Tuesday

Don't mention the war... I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it
