Swc The Final

[Sandie]

As for them not failing I guess you subscribe to the "deferred success" cr*p one of the teaching unions is advocating. Whatever happened to aspiring to success. Let's reward all the kids that sit on their backsides and not acknowledge those that work their butts of to achieve success

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Well that put the cat among the pigeons.

 

Star Lady, if I understood about deferred success I would be able to comment but what I do believe in is that you dont knock someone if they are trying. The kid that doesn't win the egg and spoon race on sports day shouldnt be sat in the corner but praised for his own personal acheivement.

I am passionate about sport and my Country and believe it or not I do want to win but I dont start calling for the executioner because we didnt win gold (not saying you did by the way).

 

Yes, these guys were the ones chosen to represent their Country but I dont think it crossed their minds to say "no, because if I dont win I will be branded a failure"!!

 

Are Germany, Australia, the Czechs and Russians team bashing on their forums (if they had them) probably not.

There was no way we were going to win last night the Poles were just superb, 3rd place would have been brilliant but it didnt happen.

Maybe I should be giving Scotty and Bomber the cold shoulder at Brandon next week.

Guess what - I wont be!!

 

 

And B'Witcher - No last is not best as I have said I wanted to win- but it didnt happen. But I will not team bash because of it.

[Subedei]

Perhaps GB could enlist the services of Jason Crump next year by virtue of the fact that he was born in the UK.

 

There's only one problem really. Crump doesn't want to ride for Team GB.

[keepturningleft]

Anyone trying to convince me that Rickardsson is the best rider of all-time is going to have an even bigger task now.  Away from the GP series, he's looked extremely ordinary when I've seen him in 2005 (getting passed by Tom P Madsen in a league match at Arena, and tonight he was frankly dreadful).  He seems completely incapable of dominating an entire season in the same manner as the likes of Mauger, Nielsen, etc.  Best of his era certainly, but best of all-time... not even close.

Agreed

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

It was pretty obvious that Tony Rickardsson was not quite giving it his all last night.

Poised on the edge of record equalling greatness, it was clear he was not going to take any risks, a point belatedly picked up by the commentary. And who can blame him? Poland were always going to be the winners last night, no need to put yourself in any potentially dangerous situations.

Mauger rarely took any risks in his entire career, so safe and boring was he.

 

Can someone help me out with the maths. Can Trick mathmatically wrap it all up this Saturday?

Girls and sport..eh?

 

Two posts of complete drivel....3rd place would not have been brilliant it's cr*p, we're not good enough. And as for the old "can you do better" chesnut

TRick was a disgrace last night, it's not the first time he's shown his contempt for the World Cup, his team mates and country.

 

I'm sure there won't be 3 last places flying about in the GP next week?...i'm so glad he doesn't ride for any team i support with his 70% and stuff you lot attitude!

I wonder if 'gating tart' Rico's last to first in heat 6 made it's way onto the tele's of Beowulf, Steve Brum, Lupus, Steve Hone, Shazzybird, Shooting Star et al???

Dont get me wrong i would rather have pearson over millard commentating everyday of the week but i just dont agree with the amazing amount of bias trolled out by pearson and norris in particular.Johnno did a great job the night the aussies rode (tuesday) but he went about his job professionally with little or no bias to his side,this is sky sports ,a professional sporting satellite channel.On to the racing the poles were just different class mechanically to the other teams and won in a canter

[PTDragons]

Congratulations to the Poles on a superb victory - Gollob was outstanding and it's a pity that we don't see this form as regularly in the GP's as he would definitely be challenging more than he is now

[DartfordHammer]

All I can say is well done Poland.

 

So I'll leave it at that. I'm not getting drawn into any childish arguments.

[Star Lady]

Star Lady, if I understood about deferred success I would be able to comment but what I do believe in is that you dont knock someone if they are trying.

 

I don't totally understand it either, and I don't really want to. IMO it's a symptom or result of the dumbing down culture that abounds at present.

It's about time folk who make EXTRAordinary efforts to achieve something were the ones that got the praise in all walks of life. Without wishing to put more felines amongst the feathered rats there was only one Brit last night that fits that bill and that was Simon Stead.

Rico and Nicholls are regular performers on the world stage. Screen was and Harris tried but non of them made extraordinary efforts. Now I'm sorry if others don't agree but that's how I saw it.

[SCB]

Maybe I should be giving Scotty and Bomber the cold shoulder at Brandon next week.

Why Bomber? He did nothing wrong and I am proud of him. I'm proud of the 3 guys who did what we expected of them in thie World Cup. Nicholls and screen didn;t do as we expect. How can you be proud of Nicholls when he kept goig wide, despite the fatc he said in an interview it was stupid to try and go wide of Pedersen on the 1st bend. He's a pro who has rode against Pedersen 100's of times, not some CL novice who has never rode against him before!

 

There's only one problem really. Crump doesn't want to ride for Team GB.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Offer him £17,000 then. I'm sure TRick would just ship for that!

[Subedei]

Gollob assaults Stead, clearly dangerous riding.

 

Poppycock.

[Cornishman]

Corny you are not good enough to get on a bike and ride there

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

dunno, wouldnt know without trying.

 

but thats not the point, im not expected no, scotty in particular is

 

 

I am passionate about sport and my Country and believe it or not I do want to win but I dont start calling for the executioner because we didnt win gold

 

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

neither are most of us...but thats the attitude that will mean this country win very little. it seems the same in every sport, oh well you didnt win but good effort.

 

 

im not just singling anything out here, its exactly the same in every sport at every level in this country (and this county )

[Cornishman]

Poppycock.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

exactly

[norbold]

Afraid not young fellow. Look in your Oxford English Dictionary and you'll find:

 

chose. See choose.

 

So, either is acceptable.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, it doesn't mean that. It means that chose is the past tense of choose. Chose in the context you used it is wrong.....

 

Incidentally, congratulations to the Poles. I think the GB team have a lot of serious thinking to do. We need to look more to grass roots and training up riders and when they get to International level to somehow instill in them that indefinable x factor we have spoken about on other threads. Perhaps our riders are too jolly nice to be ruthless enough like Gollob, Pedersen, Rickardsson, Crump for example to ever make it right to the top.

 

Steady might just have it.....we'll see over the next couple of seasons.

[Subedei]

No, it doesn't mean that. It means that chose is the past tense of choose. Chose in the context you used it is wrong.....

 

Well, it was worth a try.

There's always one who spots it, isn't there?

[Subedei]

So, pray tell, what was Gollob supposed to do?

[Mr. Clemens]

Mr. Clemens popped on his lucky colourful Halifax woolly jumper >>> and with the ‘mystically inspired number ‘48’ implanted firmly in his tiny little mind’ >>> he lived in hope that Great Britain would pull off a fabulous win and confound all their critics. Wicked >>> senile >>> myopic >>> or what >>>> eh???

 

Th’disgruntled nephew simply stated his recently ‘baptised and confirmed Belle Vue supporting hope’ that Jason Crump would be fully recovered from his th’unlucky contact with th’GB Maximum-Man’s lucky race winning bug, by Wednesday night.

 

With tasty take away Chinese meals of sweet and sour chicken and chop suey roll, to hand, this th’intrepid pair of speedway misfits sat down to watch th’unfolding of the final moments of the 2005 Speedway World Cup.

Or as the senile, myopic, wicked old Uncle Mr. Clemens would come to call it:-

 

‘The Rune Holta Gold Medal Testimonial Meeting’.

 

Mr. Clemens had been previously informed, by th’intellectual TV pundits, that in the lucky event of Poland winning said Speedway World Cup, that not only would the th’equally lucky Norwegian Pole Rune Holta, win a precious lucky gold medal and get to place his hands on’t beautiful Speedway World Cup Trophy, inscribed with the name of the greatest speedway rider of all time, bar none, the supremely immortal Ove Fundin, he would also win a handsome purse of testimonial zlotys, for simply agreeing to ride for th’lucky Polish World Cup Speedway Team.

 

And th’while talking of th’intellectual TV pundits, Kelvin that doyen of speedway th’intellectuals was seen running towards th’TV pundits favourite commentators

hidey-hole, on a pair of lucky legs kindly loaned to him, for this very purpose, by the Danish World Cup Speedway Team. This being because Kelvin liked to appear to be everywhere at once >>>> mystical or what >>>> eh???

 

Before he left, th’TV pundits favourite linkman >>> who often seems to serve no apparent purpose at all >>> other than to hand us all over to th’intellectual Kelvin >>> discussed the prospects of GB Maximum-Man Lee Richardson’s prospects in th’upcoming meeting.

‘Let’s hope we’re lucky and he’s sick tonight’ >>> if the GB Maximum-Man’s lucky sickness bug kicks in early doors you never know what might happen!!!!

Kelv’s th’intellectually amusing comments echoed across the world >>> has he ran to join Nigel Pearson >>> in order to make even more astute observations >>> for t’lucky speedway watching millions >>> to digest along with their tasty evening meals.

 

‘Who’s riding tonight’, asked a still disgruntled nephew???

Why, all them th’lucky World Cup finalists of course’, chuckled wicked old senile Uncle Mr. Clemens. >>>>> On with the Motley!!!!

It was plain to see >>> to anyone senile and myopic >>> that somehow >>> th’Team GB >>> had wickedly >>> exchanged GB Maximum-Man’s lucky race winning bug >>> for th’Danish World Cup Speedway teams’ Lucky Danish Racing Legs!!!!

 

Th’Danes >>> like the equally gullible th’Australians >>> had fallen for th’wicked GB Team Manager’s crafty plot >>> to th’undermine th’opposition >>> because Middlo had known all along that >>> GB Maximum-Man’s lucky race winning bug >>> only worked when it was tucked up in Lee Richardson’s stomach

 

Inside anyone else >>> being contaminated by anything remotely related to things GB >>> it simply made em sick!!! >>> but all would well for GB now cos >>> ‘Richardson’s got the legs’ >>> problem is Middlo forgot to tell t’rest of Team GB about this wicked plot to win th’Speedway World Cup???

rider replacement for th’Norwegian Pole Runi Holta!!!

 

 

Congratulations to the Polish Speedway World Cup winning team. There wasn’t a hint of subterfuge, of any kind, having taken place to give the Polish team an advantage on the track. They won because they were sheer class.

Special congratulations to the finest speedway rider, I have ever been privileged to see racing speedway, Tomasz Gollob. He has finally received the acclaim of the Polish Nation and a gold medal he most richly deserves for all he has done for speedway.

 

He truly is the only man who knows what speedway racing is all about.

[Subedei]

They just get longer and longer. I surrender to you Mr Clemens.
