Ozyace Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Go the mighty KANGAROOS! Its been a while since Skippy has seen a speedway match but i hope he tunes in for this one...................I digress! 8) As i have posted earlier on another thread that speedway is a fickle sport and not in the least in a World Team Championship event. (you know the deal breakdowns, falling) It may be O.K. to have this happen in a league match once in a while, but if it happens on a world stage riding for your country with your teamates and yourself no doubt giving 100%.............boy wouldn't you feel like sh... This is not something i wish on anyone and could well happen to us Aussies. I hope we can pull thru again for everyones sake at least not Toddy Boys as its his last season. :x Also good luck to G.B. it would be nice to get a podium finish....2nd behind Aust. is good enough for me. I do not really want to put this down, but maybe the consumate professional has pulled the wrong boot on and has became the game player that i at least suspected - I hope not : get well T.R.- good luck Sweden. I'm sure it will be fantastic racing (5 in a heat. Woof Woof Blackadder)For me whoever wins this event deserve it! Yanks & Ricko missing an all. I think every team can make a case for winning - however you must like Denmarks chances the best to pull of an upset victory over Aust. I hope there are no incidents because i think this years SGP series will be going down to the wire BABY! AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI (i hate it aswell) :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Also good luck to G.B. it would be nice to get a podium finish....2nd behind Aust. is good enough for me. In your dreams Ozy Our British lads are fired up for this one, we are all (Hopefully all by now!) behind the lads & Middlo 100% .......... This one has our name on it, first time in 3 years and we're bringing it home :!: COME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozyace Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Good on ya Shazzybird! :roll: Bout as much chance of getting kicked to death by a duck winning this one but a nice group of young uns in the team with a few proven performers aswell. As they say in the classics "The only way is up, Baby" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Your humour kills me It's all too easy for someone to put a dampner on this one and be a defeatest which.............unfortunately I am not.........forever the optimist me and feeling confident enough to win this! The meetings not over til the chequered flag drops on heat 25!! Good Luck to all involved with the Final on Saturday, especially to TEAM GB & Middlo xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozyace Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Sorry to be the one to spoil the party. I, like you hope the G.B. team go well but i'm afraid you will be a few biscuits short of a tin. Now I'm not here to say that the Aussies will win, but if they fail i think that Denmark will be the country to pick up the slack, With a Loramski in the team maybe but i am not going to knock the fellas who at the moment have performed superb. Shazzybird - with your endevour and optimism maybe you should open the batting against South Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Sorry to be the one to spoil the party. I, like you hope the G.B. team go well but i'm afraid you will be a few biscuits short of a tin. Few biscuits short of a tin? LMAO, I like that. I thought being an Aussie you would say 'one can short of a six pack' or am I just being stereotypical Anyway you have both forgotten them there Poles, never turn your back on them or they will bite you in the a***. Go GB and Hampel (if he rides) and also GO AUSSIES....................go far away, let us win this one Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozyace Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 The Poles? The Poles? The Poles? The Po......... OH the Polish team Yes great bunch of lads .......but really! :roll: 3rd tops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I'll remind you of that comment when they win :twisted: I actually have to say that I want anyone BUT the Aussies to win. Not that I don't have the greatest respect for them or their fans but I hate when any sport is dominated by one team, like in the 80's I wanted anyone but the Danes to win. Same with Rickardsson and the world title, Schumacher, Man Yoo etc etc. These people win all the time and eventaully people long for change.

Ozyace Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Pete, lets put a coupla things straight here, because this is one of my biggest bug bears pal. Who would you want to see win a world title, be it S.G.P., F1 or to win the league in soccer(sorry football) the 2nd best the 3rd best who. These people, teams win year in year out because they are the best in there competition. They can only beat there opposition that they race / play against maybe a little luck may go there own way but i am a firm believer that you make your own luck anyway. Geez we got people over here who don't like Manchester United also. I am not a Man U supporter but they have proven to be the best team year in year out. (someones gonna have a go at me about its because they got all the money etc, etc..blah ...blah ...blah) Schumacher: don't like the bloke - but respect him as being the best driver in the F1, may well have been different if Ayrton Senna R.I.P. hadn"t lost his life so abruptly - confidence is an amazing thing. Mr Rickardsson - I would have loved to have seen a world No.1 plate go to Crumpy, Adams Sullivan. but at the end of the day Ricko has been the best rider in the world (consistenly) for many a moon. Professionalism was never this good. Pete do not worry your day will come when these guys get beat and i bet you will be one of the first to say 'remember the good ol days when Valentino Rossi would stand on his seat and cross the finish line on his back wheel' People may long for a change, but what is wrong with champions.

Pete Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Nothing worng with Champions just lots wrong with predictability. I agree 100% that the best people/team should win the championships. Seems I didn't make my point well enough, what I meant was that I hope that someone can step up to the plate and take the title off you lot. Just like I hope Montoya beats Schumi, Sete beats Valentino and Everton beat Man Yoo . There is nothing wrong with those guys wining the title as surely if they do then they have been the best that year. I don't want a team to beat the Aussies for the sake of beating them I want a team to rise to the challenge but if not then Oz were the best and so be it. Does that make sense?

shazzybird Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Sue beginning to think we may have jinxed the team between us but it was good fun getting carried away with the build up :!: I enjoyed the meeting even if I did cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Shazzybird, it didn't work with Sweden though (I put a canny bet on, laughing all the way to the bank now) maybe next year I will say that all the others will win and GB will lose.....hopefully the jinx will work.

panthersfan Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I must say I have noticed quite a lot of anti-australian views and opinions recently, none of which backed up or explained as well as pete... here's a few... consider yourselves named and shamed. on a brighter note the Auzzies did not win The one good thing for me is that the Aussies didn't win it! Anything but the Aussies is very good! But the best moment was seeing the Aussies loose (I shall now say the following statement with tongue firmly in cheek and with acres of sarcasm as it isn't my true opinion or viewpoint.) I'm just glad the Brits didn't win it! see? it's not big and it's not clever. I'll put the soapbox away now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesboybert Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 i really don't see why everybody has such a problem with the aussies. Maybe it's the fact that they strive to win all the time and they don't have the typical british attitude its not the winning its the taking part that counts. Well i for one wish that Great Britain as a country were more like Australia. They seem to be more patriotic, and they have a winning mentality which usually, obviously not all the time, shines through. Anyway thats my rant over. Well done to Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
