Leo Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 But he didn't. End of story. No more excuses. And he said if he couldn't qualify via the GPs - remember he spurned the opportunity to qualify via the qualifiers (probably thought them beneath the princely status you so easily allocate to him) - he didn't deserve to be in the GPs. So, now we'll find out how much integrity Nicholls has. If he turns around and says "thanks, but no thanks, I don't deserve it", then great: he's got integrity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And which British rider would you put in then? Didn't realise I thought he was princely, royalty at Coventry. Oh well I always knew we were special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well I always knew we were special. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> None. No one is good enough, so why should they be there? But, since you all think the GPs would fall apart without a charity Briton, why not give someone like Harris a go. Nicholls has failed to qualify three years running. How many more chances does he get before everyone has an "emperor's new clothes" moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't give me his GP standing, when riders of the calibre of PK, Jagus and Holta aren't in the GPs. You just end up looking silly. Nicholls isn't even in the top twenty of the Swedish averages, while in Poland his average is a dreadful 5.60. Broaden your horizons, there's a whole wide speedway world away from these shores. Nicholls has accepted that failure to qualify means he doesn't deserve to be there, why can't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 i am sure even genghis's general,would allow you a wild card entrant to cheer on! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, by all means give Nicholls the Cardiff wild card. Then he might do something, since he'd, like Andersen this season, have something to prove. As it stands, it doesn't matter how badly he performs, how many semis he flops in, you still call for a charity entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 would that be runeski holta,who cant get in the very average polish team? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But CAN qualify for the GPs, unlike Nicholls? Yes, that'll be the one. The same Holta who was in the Poland team that swept all before them in 2005. Yes, I know, the Poles can only win in their homeland, but the Nicholls-led Britons can't even manage to win in their homeland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartfordHammer Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) would that be runeski holta,who cant get in the very average polish team? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Probably mainly down to the fact that he's not really wanted so much more than anything. And very average Polish team? Not sure I agree with you on that. Anyway, Scott could do with what Hans had to do this season, and that's a season's break from the GP's. It'll fire him up and give him something to prove. Edited October 2, 2006 by DartfordHammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I love the way when somebody points somethign to Sube he completly overlooks it or dismisses it..... makes you realise it is not worth arguing with somebody that likes to gloss over what the other is saying......

lupus Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Nicholls does not deserve a place in next years GP series - end of! He should not be given a place just becasue he's british - the only GP which 'has' to have a British rider is Cardiff - and Nicholls can battle it out with Harris, Stead, Richardson etc for that spot! The GP's should be for the best 16 riders in the world - NOT one from each country then a few others! If we use that theory then Hefenbrock (current German Champion) and Laukanen (Finnish Champion) should also be in! They should look at the averages of the riders across whatever leagues they ride in and decide the riders from there! I realise this might mean Wolves losing PK for 2007 (as he has said he wouldn't ride in the UK if he was in the GP's) but at least the GP would be about the top riders!

SuzieQ Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yes, all very interesting and I'm sure you'll find some poor souls to wear it. But I'll stick with Armani, Gucci and Prada, if it's all the same to you.And that's about the difference, isn't it. Nicholls is the Cotton Traders type rider, not Gucci or Prada. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OK I have steered clear of all this Nicholls bashing for quite long enough! But I am getting sick on constantly reading you sniping at him at every given opportunity! Hell, even I let some of the Richardson things go without making a comment! Surely if you have a reason for your total dislike of Scott Nicholls you could share it with all of us and then maybe (just maybe) we would understand! However, if you are unable to do so then it is best to just ignore the threads that refer to Scott and stick to the ones that you can comment on without such distain. And what the heck any of this has to do with designer gear or the fake stuff is so far beyond me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIROUT Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Surely to take the averages from all 3 leagues that would then rule Jagus,Hampel,Gollob,and Holta out of the GPS as they do not have the bottle to ride in what if subdei would be believed is the weakest league in the world... jirout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott a near definate and Bomber a strong possibilty. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Doesn't make it right though, does it. Do you feel a great sense of pride at British speedway having to always accept charity? Does it warm the cockles of your very soul that Britain's No 1 is so inept he can't qualify on merit via the GPs and is filled with such false arrogance that he seems to consider the qualifiers beneath him? The GP qualifiers weren't above vastly superior riders such as Andersen and PK, why were they above Nicholls? He didn't qualify, again. He doesn't deserve to be there.
