Sgt.Hartsock Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 The Brit Bashers are out in force today, They never mention the Zero`s that Antonio got a lot of in the GP`s last year, Funny that. They can Brit Bash all they like but Scott will be in the GP`s this year like it or not , Tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, why do all you terminally deluded types keep trying to justify the unjustifiable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong and whether you like it or not, raving about your perceived injustices on here is not going to change anything. As Nicholls is the number one British rider, maybe we should just try to support him in his efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevH Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Give me just a little more time. Time? You've had 800 years, how much more do you want? Serves me right for chucking out all my Speedway Stars so I couldn't check. And I'm still grateful to you for scanning a couple of them in my hour of need.

scotty2hotty Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 The way I see it is this. Cardiff has the highest attendance of all of the GP Rounds. Overall, Scott Nicholls is probably the most popular Brit we have (although not with everyone I understand), BSI have to include Nicholls for this very reason. Its business!! Ok, I will agree Scott is not one of the best riders in the Gps, but he is very popular and everyone loves an underdog. His merchandise sales at Cardiff are astronomical compared to others, its like a frenzy. Ok, I know hes not popular with everyone, but overall, judging by merchandise sales and flags bearing his name, he is the most popular rider at Cardiff, hence his inclusion in the GP and therefore the biggest GP round of them all , Cardiff. Scott Nicholls did not get a begging bowl out to be included, he didn't have to. In parts, I do agree with Sub. If we were talking about one of the other middle of the road riders lack of inclusion in the GP, I dont think such a fuss would have been made mainly because most of the other countries have other good representatives to fall back on, therefore having a good representative at their home GP, unfortunately we don't have that pleasure. But fingers crossed this year Chris Harris can up the anti and we can have 2 exciting Brits to watch. Maybe they will do well, maybe they wont, but I sure as hell will be there willing them on.

Gemini Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 And I'm still grateful to you for scanning a couple of them in my hour of need. Happy to help Kev. Both my scanner and printer packed in before Christmas but I'm shortly going to be up and running again with a combined one. Should be a laugh working that one out.

Visited a parallel universe where Nicholls competed in all the rounds? The whole nature of the final few rounds would've changed. In short, your argument is erroneous and wrong.

In short, your argument is erroneous and wrong. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No nicholls would have done it with ease and looks like that the powers that be see it the same way . I think that's what great about the wildcards if great riders like nicholls or such like come outside the top 8 due to injury they can get a pick, and with a clear run i can't see him comeing outside the top 8 for years . Still find is amazeing that he done so well seeing that there is not a home gp for uk riders where the swedes and poles have two gp's at thre home tracks to help them .

Subedei Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I can see Eskilstuna getting a mention here <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Later, perhaps. But at the minute I shall just make do with this little gem from the archives: Don't make it right thou does it ? i like scott and i am a big fan of his fightings skill but sub is right he's fail 3 times now, the last thing you want is people feeling pity for yer i hope for scotts sake he won't take a wildcard and trys to get back by merit . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh dear, one doesn't expect this sort of flip-flopping from no less an authority than orion.

Subedei Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Oh dear orion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And that's not all lusty young Schumi. No, indeed, this was orion's considered opinion not so very long ago: Scott had his chances and he's fail give someone else a chance and give them the chance to fail . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biddows Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 You see, Schumi? You just can't keep a good man down, and no more can you keep Sub down Though credit where credit's due - at least, unlike orion, he's consistent in his delusional diatribes. *makes stirring motion* Alright, I'll go now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schumi Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 You see, Schumi?

AndyM Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Don't forget that Sub is operating under the delusion that he's right all the time, even when he's demonstrably wrong. Still no sign of his Welsh gulags, let alone the arrival of the New Jerusalem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Because someone decided he deserved it! Simple <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And on what basis did they decide this? It can't have been a valid or justifiable reason, since none exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
