rabbit Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Does anyone have any live updates from Tony's Final lap meeting from Sweden...or maybe later a report of the scorers? I'm told by a very good source that a certain Antonio Lindback is riding in it and has been spotted doing leg stretches and knee bends whilst warming up. As a Poole fan I obviously am interested in just how his recovery is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I suspect management would be interested as well or are they past caring now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interested to see which promoters are keen to take on this committeed rider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) I am sure the management will see first hand whether Mr L rides - I believe they are going to the mtg to say goodbye to Tony. Lindback does appear to have issues with committment & I don't think he'll be at Poole next year. Edited October 3, 2006 by Jools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbit Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) I've answered my own question and found updates here on the Masarna site. Let's put it this way, he was a bit surprised to see certain people out there... I feel sorry for 1. the fans who've stood up for him over the recent farces and backed him all the way 2. the sponsors here who have financially backed him and finally 3. the Poole management who have made every allowance for him and given him every opportunity a young rider could want. I wasn't impressed before and to say I'm even less so now is an understatement! Edit: you just beat me to it Iris.

pirate paul Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've stood up for Anton through all of his little absences this year and have been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. But that just about does it, if he doesn't ride for Poole tomorrow I don't want to see him in Poole colours again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) What's happened with Lindback this season? He always struck me as being content with the Pirates and now all this carry on. Has his head been turned by some new "advisor" or other? Edit: And another pretty poor line-up for such a legend of the sport. It's rather disappointing the way TR's final season has panned out in so many respects. Edited October 3, 2006 by Subedei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Finally the rest of the Poole fans realise what I've been telling you for weeks!! Lindback has been p*ssing the Pirates about all year with his 'injuries' and tiredness problems, and if there was any sort of comparable replacement WILLING to come across this year he would have been sacked a long time back! Its a shame because he is a good rider, but treating the fans and his sponsors in England as he has done is disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 its not just Anton, PK is riding injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Just a quick question - is the listed Brian Andersen the engine-tuning Brian Andersen, or a new Brian Andersen? I'm sure it's a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway. I'm not too proud to ask stupid questions every now and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoncasterDragons Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Finally the rest of the Poole fans realise what I've been telling you for weeks!!

Its a shame because he is a good rider, but treating the fans and his sponsors in England as he has done is disgraceful. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it's the final straw if he rides tonight in Sweden. I never thought I would say this, but Ian Thomas summed him up saying he was a disgrace in the Speedway Star a couple of weeks ago. I think the FIM should step in and ban the guy from speedway for a couple of years. He has duped the British public throughout 2006 with his "tiredness", "illness" and now "leg injury". Lindback should be used as an example to stop others picking and choosing in years to come. By stopping him riding full stop, he might understand how his serious his actions have been this year. If he is contractually committed to these clubs, he should fulfil the fixtures. If not, why sign it at the start of the season. To carry on letting Poole down and embarrassing their supporters has just been unbelievable - and I don't even support Pirates. Rickardsson, Jonsson and now Lindback. Picking and choosing when they want to ride in Britain. How many more next year. It's got to stop and NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
