TheStartTart Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 (edited) The word of the SKY commentators were quite clear, you make us proud, well actually Team GB you make me pretty irate, not one of you attempted to sing the national anthem. It has nothing to do with being royalist. Congrats to the team but if you go on to win at Wroclaw then take a leaf out of Tony Rickardsson’s book and pledge your allegiance to your country by singing it’s national anthem. Or are you ashamed to be British??????? RANT over TST Edited July 31, 2005 by TheStartTart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Behave yourself! Think we were all singing for them, they just rode their nuts off for us to get to the final least we could do was sing for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time. If the fans can make the effot why can't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time. If the fans can make the effot why can't they? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey never mind singing the national anthem. Some need first to learn to stand at attention; or if they are too tired to do that they might find it a little restful if they at least stood still. I noticed also that most put their hats on before the national anthem had finished. Could it be that the offenders only competed for their pay cheques - or for personal glory? For whatever reason they competed the English lads won even though they were classed as the underdogs and for that feat I give them unstinted credit!

rabbit Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Firstly it's Team GB and not England (our Welsh and Scottish compatriots are able to ride in this team if selected remember) and secondly half of them looked so damn nervous at the start I expect the last thing on their mind was singing the National Anthem. And let's face it - the crowds at speedway hardly belt it out either do they?!!! Still, if that's the most you can find to moan about it can't have been that bad...

Reasoned discussion always works better than slating someone... whoops .. forgot how do to that Firstly it's Team GB and not England (our Welsh and Scottish compatriots are able to ride in this team if selected remember) and secondly half of them looked so damn nervous at the start I expect the last thing on their mind was singing the National Anthem.

stevebrum Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 great effort from all 5 - perhaps all this talk of nobody decent ready to step up can be put behind. steady,harris,howe,kennett - all riders that would have done us proud 2day. great effort from the youngsters!

That is a correct reference as there was not a Welshman or a Scot in the team in which the English rode. Could I be right in thinking you are being a tad racist in that you did not mention the male residents of Northern Ireland. They are as British as I am and, possibly as you are. This being so they too are entitled to for Britain! I jest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Glad you added the jest part Bert...or you might have incurred my wrath. And that believe me, ain't a pretty sight! And my post you quoted wasn't directly aimed at you btw.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
