Custom House Kid Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Nothing like sticking the knife in after the event eh? Can any of you rubbing it in now seriously say that you weren't worried about Richardson prior to the event because I certainly was!!! Sure he rode his luck, but then everyone needs that in life. He did well and scored 15 points and was part of a great team effort. But would some people be so sanctimonious against those who voiced their opinions before if he'd been the one who was the main reason for us not getting to the Final? So congrats Lee - you did well...just do us a favour and stick to the healthy lifestyle for the next few days!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Rabbit you could be 1st reserve in the front row of the knitting circle!

Marco Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Nothing like sticking the knife in after the event eh? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, there's nothing quite like sticking the knife in before the event... Sure he rode his luck <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I thought he was lucky to pass Pedersen on the pits bend too... So congrats Lee - you did well...just do us a favour and stick to the healthy lifestyle for the next few days!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's more like it rabbit, do us all a favour and stick to this sort of encouragement for the next few days!!

shortoi Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Rabs, I have to admit I was worried about Rico too!! And was I the only one worried that he was going to throw up during the bumps? Seriously, he did good. I've never been one of his critics, but now is definitely the time to offer him some real praise! GET IN THERE LEE!

SCB Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 WOW!! So he's a gating tart? Yet he passed Nicki Pedersen, on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12bore Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 (edited) I have to admit to having concerns about Mr. Richardson but only the same that I would have had about any rider who was riding when not fit not about his riding ability or his committment. If Rico had pulled out through illness after two rides we would have been knackered and if he pulled out of the meeting last night there was a real threat that this could have happened. Anyway it didnt so credit where it is deserved, bring on saturday and ill have a lager Edited July 31, 2005 by 12bore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) More than a hint of bigitory in that post I fear! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No bigotry, I just don't like him full stop. For the record I felt exactly the same way about Ivan Mauger, it didn't stop him being a good rider, just one I didn't like. In Mauger's case is was mainly for his penchant for not arriving for meetings he was supposed to be in when I was looking forward to seeing him ride. In Richardsons's case it's his constant stream of excuses both before and after the events.

He did say he had not been for a 'number two's' all night to Sophie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 In Mauger's case is was mainly for his penchant for not arriving for meetings he was supposed to be in when I was looking forward to seeing him ride. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why were you looking forward to seeing him ride when you didn't like him? Lee Richardson was brilliant and he stuffed it RIGHT UP all those who keep going on about him. Being at the match I never saw the TV, but if he was 'making excuses' then it must have been pure modesty, because he was far and away the best rider on display. Maybe you would have preferred it if he'd pointed at the camera and gone into a Muhammed Ali 'All my critics crawl... I told you I was the greatest of all time' style rant. Actually I would have preferred that, though I don't think it would have quite suited him somehow. And as for those who reckon he is scared of being on the outside of Nicki Pedersen. Well - nyah nyah nyah to all of you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Very pleased to hear of Mr Richardson's gutsy and successful performance in the semi. To prove himself on the world stage, he needs to repeat that in the final. If he were to score a maximum, he'd be a third of the way towards Peter Collins' achievement of three WTC final maximums in a row! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 If he were to score a maximum, he'd be a third of the way towards Peter Collins' achievement of three WTC final maximums in a row! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The first of which was scored at just 19 years of age! Brilliant achievement by PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Those of you who were pouring scorn on Lee earlier may have noticed that he has just scored a faultless and convincing maximum at Swindon - or were you still wearing your blinkers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hardly a faultless maximum. He was last out of the gate in his 1st two rides and was lucky there were fallers to get reruns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
