tigerblues Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I am so angry having sat through that.. WTF happened!? Great Britain on their Pushbikes = 25.5 1. Scott Nicholls © 1, 0!, X, 2, 1 = 4 2. Chris Harris 2, 1, 1, 3, 1.5, R = 8.5 3. Lee Richardson 2, 1, 0, 2, 1 = 6 4. Simon Stead 0, 1, 1, 0 = Pathetic i mean 2 5. Olly Allen 2, 0, 1, 2, 0 = 5 Nicholls - Captain Scotty ey, yes, fine night for the skipper and British champion.. what a joke that performance was. Bomber - won a race but for a rider of his standard it's not acceptable if I'm really honest. Richardson - slightly better than the British number 1 but nobody can excuse that, again from a rider of his standard. Steady - what a pathetic showing, glad we've seen the last of this joke for this year's world cup tbh. Olly - didn't expect much and he didn'd deliver much. Lynch isn't at fault, the joke of a team was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector 71 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 And decent fish and chips! And with the sewerage farm just up the Road Team GB have a ready excuse for anyone suggesting their performances stunk of sh!t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Only one word to sum up Team GB tonight - PATHETIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerblues Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 As for Thursday, yes put Wuffy in , put Kennett in and I'd put Lawson, Bridger and Danny King in as well. The riders who wore the Union Jack tonight don't deserve to be there on Thursday. Those 5 riders you suggest there might wear the Union Jack with more pride unlike the 5 on show tonight. Can I also say how annoying it is to constantly be told they can't get a set-up or can't get their bikes right. What!? 5 Professional speedway riders can't get a set-up right for a track they know well. They knew how the track would be because most had a good guess before the meeting even began. How often do you hear Leigh Adams (as an example) say well things aren't going quite right, we can't really get the set-up right. Top riders don't!!!! Load of sh**e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Can't blame the track, other riders were finding grip out wide and also flying up the inside of riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott0311 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Next time 5 Coventry track specialists are required may I suggest using Nicki Pedersen Niels-Kristian Iversen Kenneth Bjerre Hans Andersen Bjarne Pedersen Chuck in Jonas Davidsson as a ringer reserve Woeful does not sum up tonights "performance". Embarrassing pretty much does. With nothing to lose in the race-off (can only see Poland and Sweden going through) drop all 5 and bring in the youngsters who will at least wear the race jacket with pride.

Paulco Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Never mind there is a 17 year old who'll restore a bit of pride on Thursday . Whether it will be enough to get us through or not is another matter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 What a load of weapons grade bo**ocks from Team Good Bye. To be fair to Lynch if your cloth is Primark you're hardly going to make a Versace suit however his team selection was bizarre in the extreme. I'm no fan of Kennett but he looks to be on the cusp of a leap forward so let's kick him in the nads eh Jim? Nicholls : Give me strength, what has gone wrong with him. Harris : Pop down to the local garden centre, you'll see some folks buying gates. Allen : Gave it a go but not up to this level although his teamates tried hard to change that. Stead : Never in a million years mate. GT : Lived up to his reputation. It's displays like this that persuade Brits to support their Club riders of other nationalities.

gary moore Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Looks like a small crowd to me. That could be because team GB is more or less only Coventry riders, and Cov fans have vanished this season. Oh dear should have been at Poole or somewhere else other than Coventry. God no,we do like to see even a small chance of passing and that doesnt happen at Poole!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary moore Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 cant believe stead & allen have been in the world cup. says it all. I would have thought by now Stead would have learnt to ride a bike properly instead of the "lock up" at every bend???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 And people on here call Bjarne Pedersen - Byawny. God could we have done with a rider of his stature tonight. He showed how a rider of ability and talent, yet who is a rider who will never be world champion, can ride to his ability and score a sackload. I was praying for the Brits to go out and beat him tonight, but he was a clear class above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole is a far better track than Coventry with more racing lines. But all that would have done would be to create more opportunities for Denmark and Sweden to come whizzing past on the rare occassion we might make a gate.

Trees Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hmmmmmmmmmm that was a tad embarrasing to say the least, it's not cos our riders are crap cos on their day they can beat the best, they'll have to work out what went wrong and hopefully put things to rights on Thursday. They must compare themselves to the danes and swedes and see what the difference is because there is a difference .......................
