boxer123 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 He did move to Dudley I believe, but moved back to Ipswich a few weeks back. Think he missed his friends. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> what friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerDon Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Old Greg has pulled a few ruthless moves in his time as well - most of the top guys have, either in GPs or league racing. Remember our lads being on the end of a few H&H sandwiches at Cradley in past years and sure fans of other clubs can too. He's not up there for canonisation just yet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm - I can think of a few riders who might have taken Scott out with his first bend manouvre on the rerun, and probably got a rerun with all 3 back in, in fact I doubt Nicholls would have even risked that move against many other riders. Then his reluctance to close the gate, like Crump did to Pedersen in other semi, has probably cost him 2 GPs, so all things considered nice guys probably do sometimes come last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 seem to remember that being said about Lee Richardson in the past <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes it more than likely was however Richardson did not continue to show any sort of form, where as if Scott continues to get into finals then his chance will come.

garf Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Seems strange that the other Nicholls thread is logged of so early. It is maybe because he is a Brit and is not supposed to be slagged of like other riders when riding hard/dirty (depends of the eyes that is watching). The Hans thread was going on for several days ! ! ! ! And the NP threads last year went on for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheMan Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 i'd say it was more than likely locked for the childishness of the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Seems strange that the other Nicholls thread is logged of so early. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nothing strange about it at all. I closed it because we already had this one running. You're not silly Garf, so don't waste your time thinking it was for any other reason.

Wizza Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Lets face it the best hes ever achived is a very lucky second in a GP and that was down to refere error <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In my opinion, the ref got the Zagar decision spot on. Too much of a delay between the contact and him falling off. If he had fallen off immediately, my opinion would be different. Personally, I thought the Italian GP showed Scotty making just the sort of progress all us Brit fans have been clamouring for.... i.e. When he reached the semis, he showed some real ATTITUDE and that 'will to win' that has been so sadly lacking previously. Even better was the fact that he repeated the dose in the final Compare this weekend with the Czech GP from last year for example..... Completely the reverse.... And to show my lack of bias..... I also thought HA did himself a load of credit with his attitude at the end of the final and in the post-final interviews with his magnanimous comments.

I've watched the incident loads of times now and in all honesty he probably did clip him but with all the dust (yes there was some spraying up) how they could say 100% there was a touch I don't know, I've watched all the angles and like you say there was a delay on the touch and the fall, maybe Zagar wanted a re-run to gain a different position and that was his opportunity to get it, unfortunately his bid failed. They've all tried it at some point, some have one won the decision some haven't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willp Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I am fully behind scotty. Us british fans have been crying out for a british gp winner for ages and when we get close some still moan! Amazing! Ok, scotty was lucky but you need a bit of luck sometimes. I agree, he may never be world champion, but with everybody's support maybe he can win a gp? Far to many british people support foreign riders before there own riders and it gets on my nerves. For example, british people supporting denmark in the world cup for instance! It made me laugh when you saw the supposed danish fans when the danish national anthem was playing!!! All silent!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
