stevehone Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 It is something to do with that once admirable quality in people, called LOYALTY. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and as Star Lady said, it was also a fight for freedom of choice. that, basically, means i can support who i want in the Speedway World Cup, same as you, as you have that freedom too. i won't disagree about bringing on the youngsters, limit the number of foreigners that ride in the UK ... lets have the riders that want to ride in our leagues, not just here to take the money then get out when they want.

Guest Schumi Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Shazz, I didn't say I wasn't supporting the Brits, just that I'm fed up with being told I have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 "Lucky you don't ride then as that was not what Mr Louis said on SKY" Well ask any person who visits Brandon every week and the majority will say the same. At the start of the programme Tatum said there was tons of dirt on it, however it was perfectly clear to most people who have visited brandon over the past couple of years that there clearly was not. Also look at peoples comments regarding the entertainment factor.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzybird Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Shazz, I didn't say I wasn't supporting the Brits, just that I'm fed up with being told I have to. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Schumi I didn't say you had to support the Brits, I didn't say anyone had to I just wondered why people chose not to.

rabbit Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Why do people get so het up with others who don't support team GB? I say just let 'em get on with it, and let the majority of us who do cheer on our lads wearing our national colours with pride carry on doing so without resorting to bickering. Tis a personal choice, not one I understand admittedly but I personally would rather save my efforts for the national team than trying to understand the foibles of a minority.

stevehone Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 As for exciting British riders like Carter and Lee,,,,,mmm great role models <{POST_SNAPBACK}> on a speedway track totally if only there were a few British riders like these about ...... can but hope. so come on J, who would you put in their place?

shazzybird Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 so come on J, who would you put in their place? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How about come on S who would you put in TEAM GB obviously last nights team is not good enough in your eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIROUT Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Steve At the end of the day Carter achieved no more on a speedway track than Nicholls has...indeed a darn site less...He was a great guy...but im sorry Bruce Penhall is dead right bout the guy Michael Lee was a natural....both unfortunately succumbed to bad things....... Dont forget when they were doing well in world finals there was 6 eastern bloc riders in the final...who were out of there depth...now we have the best 15 riders in the world every meeting... As for riders to take there place.....3 or 4 years mate....Nicholls...Harris...Bridger...Kennett,,...Roynon...Boxall.........Wright ...Auty...... Last few years The Danes have done well...but have been lucky with injuries...whereas Team GB ...Sweden and the Aussies have had injuries at the wrong time...thems the breaks i guess jaybea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 well all the Danes seemed to sing their national anthem on Saturday ... all comes back to pride and passion i reckon. I don't think it makes any difference to your pride and passion whether you sing or not, it's what you're feeling inside that counts ..................

JIROUT Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 You remember Daley Thompson whistling the national anthem.....he never had any pride or passion either i guess jaybea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 How about come on S who would you put in TEAM GB obviously last nights team is not good enough in your eyes <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that's right, but like i said earlier, there is nobody else, that's why the team picks itself, that's why there's no fighting for places, all of the riders there last night knew they'd be there as there's no competition for their places.

stevehone Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 You remember Daley Thompson whistling the national anthem.....he never had any pride or passion either i guess jaybea <{POST_SNAPBACK}> maybe Nicholls should learn to whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortcrust Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 With the exception of Chris Harris, and to a lesser extent Simon Stead, I really don't have time for Team GB - and can honestly say I actively dislike Nicholls and Richardson. In addition, I'm afraid I'm sick to the back teeth of the 'hype' that seems to follow Kennett. On the other hand, last night Sweden had four out of their 6 riders who are 'MY' riders - Wolves one and all. So you can bet your life that I was cheering for Sweden last night - and damn proud of the fact I am too! As I said before - I fail to see what difference this made to anyone on this forum! You support who you want to and I will do the same - I'll mind my own business and I suggest you do the same! Now I'm off to join Schumi's revolutionary front and change my avatar! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Great post Lupus, couldn't have said it better myself.
