Danish Dave Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well from where I was sitting, I heard Nicki P getting aperfectly decent reception from the crowd. Apologies my hearing is not good enough to hear a few people booing when the majority were clapping politely or using their airhorns. As I said, the real boos only began when Adams was excluded.

Stokie052 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Actually I seem to remember Scott knocking off Chris Harris in the run-off for the top 8 in the last GP of last season. So too answer your question... yes Thank you! a serious question asked and answered.. i asked it because i choose not to watch "Elite" speedway as i find it boring! Although from the threads on here NP does it not only in GP's but in more or less every meeting he rides in at a whim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwent Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 So Nicki Pedersen says the British fans are a disgrace. I'd be grateful if you could point out where exactly in that article he says the British fans are a disgrace ? Despite the inflammatory title of this thread, the fact is that he simply didn't say that. Yet dozens of people on this thread seem quite happy to ignore that fact as it doesn't fit with their agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet dozens of people on this thread seem quite happy to ignore that fact as it doesn't fit with their agenda. Todays Echo. British fans are 'disgrace' says Nicki By Phil Chard NICKI Pedersen has roundly condemned the British crowd's consistent loud frenzied booing of him at Cardiff as "disgraceful". Pedersen, not riding in the Elite League this year after being dumped by Eastbourne and failing to find another track, added: "I think the fans' booing was disgraceful. It was from a newspaper article so a bit of journalistic licence was employed - youre right Derwent he doesnt actually say they were a disgrace but their actions were disgraceful... I can see the argument/inference that "being disgraceful" = "a disgrace" from both sides....depends how pedantic one wants to be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatDave Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 sadly nicki has a short memory his foul mouth along with hans at the world team cup at reading a couple of years ago was a disgrace. ....as was the behaviour of some sections of the crowd towards the deserved winners at the world team cup at reading, maybe you've got a short memory too?

superguest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I do find it funny, how weve got a thread from the fans slagging Nicki P off, and a thread where Nicki P is apparently slagging the fans off. Although not quite as funny as the thread during the winter where 98% of fans voted for him as their number 1 in their dream team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Nikki the most popular or unpopular rider on the speedway forum a month doesn't go by when there isn't 2 3 4 or even 5 threads about him!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Willie Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Wouldn't life be booring with out the Nicky Pedersens of this world. Did any thing else happen at the British GP, who won? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluson Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) The reason I booed is what I saw as "gamesmanship" employed by Nicki. I might be alone on this but he seems to have developed this "skill" of cutting across from outside gates and putting his front wheel where it is going to be taken away by the inside rider, going down very easily and then laying for ages at the bottom of the fence. He did the same to Jason Crump in the Leszno GP and twice on Saturday. I presume if he keeps winning the decisions from the refs it will keep happening. As far as I am concerned it is akin to a footballer diving in the penalty area. (However I did applaud his efforts to clear the track in the final) Spot on , I saw it exactly the same as that and as for the lying down in agony. ........ just like a footballer, speedway riders are tough, NP was just being the big thing he thinks he is, he certainly looks a pillock with that clutch cooler as a hair-dryer. I for one am glad he doesn't ride in the UK. With all that diving maybe he should try the Spanish league! I have no favourites but hate to see such unfairness, how did he get away with the tape incident and two clearly engineered falls. At the end of the day he was getting away with it. the more he gets away with it the more he'll do it To be honest there was a Girl behind us who was going crazy at him all the time.why bother........... It's not NP it's the ref for letting him get away with it. The track was poor the ref was poor , I felt for the riders trying to their best up aagianst a lousy track and a lousy ref. Why was he holding them at tapes so long? was there a problem with the mechanism or was he just an idiot???

mittwoch Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 So, because of all that, it's ok to cheer when he takes a nasty looking tumble that could have resulted in serious injury?

invadersfan Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Not ALL the British fans were booing (or cheering when Nicki fell off)...some of us don't agree with riders being subjected to boos, no matter what the reason. I do so hate being lumped into the majority. Same here, The only booing and shouting was at a ref who was a joke. Always found Nicki P to be a nice guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From PC to KC. Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Totally agree with Pedersen and I think certain British fans were a disgrace, a number of them calling him scum and cheering when he came off. I think I was one of the few who wanted him to win the final just to shut a lot of them up and I think Nicki is great and great for speedway. It is true what Nicki said, he did not exclude Adams or Bjarne and the only person who should have been the object of the crowds boos was the referee who was a damn disgrace. What cobblers, using your view who is the cheat in this clip then , obviously the ref was a cheat and not the instigator of the offence because he allowed it. Nicki knew exactly what he was doing after missing the start both times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 To quote from a famous piece of headgear sported by Johnno DILIGAF! classic!!!!! oh diddums, anyone got the kleenex for Mr Pedersen? what was that song by the streets "DRY YOUR EYES MATE"!!!!!!! Don't let the door smack you on the a**e on the way out then Nicki....bye! If only!!! I'll buy him a one-way ticket if he promises to stick to what he said!!!! Put me down for a tenner as well!!!!!! We went to the Leszno GP and Nikki was booed all the way through at that one too. I didn't hear any moaning from him there. you would think he would be used to it by now. Cant someone start a thread entitled `places nicki DOESNT get booed at`???????? Might save him the trouble of having a tantrum as per. BUT Nickis comments are also way over the top as he should realise that it was mostly panto booing. poor baby! poor old Nicki P i'm going to get my violin out for him can you imagine ! - The noise would be just as nauseating!!!! Nicki is just a Turd fact!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I suspect Nicki is just playing to the crowd with these comments. He seemed to quite enjoy being the pantomime baddy on the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
