hatcham Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Not just about differing opinions. Agree that some of his views are interesting and informative, but many are just patronising toward other forum members. Was merely a tongue in cheek comment (couldn't resist the 'ov' weapon) and I'm sure Mr Sub will retort in true Subby fashion. He's thicker skinned than a walrus with an underactive thyroid! maybe he is patronising because so many people fail to grasp the basic facts of our sport. how many threads are there now connected with last night match ? so many people seem shocked that we were abysmal last night,why ? nicholls had a poor night,and is capable of better,but how often does that happen when he rides at the highest level ? harris is only really of use when there is dirt on the outside,and the other three performed exactly to their capabilities. maybe lynch should have selected a different team,but whoever he selected we would still have finished third,because AND GET THIS ............................................ we were the third best side there!! patronising enough for you.

I wasn't shocked that GB were so poor last night. Never thought we would get near the Danes but thought the Czechs wouldn't be a threat to us and we could at least challenge the Swedes for second. You haven't patronised me cos I totally agree. My comments toward Subedei arise from many of his previous postings not necessarily connected to the WTC.

Nevermind the Joker, there were 24 heats in hand the only time Britain was two points behind the Danes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Gutted - he was one of the highlights of the first meeting. Shonky organisation by the FIM - how hard was it to leave it another week for the semi? which begs the question of shouldnt the Russians have done the same? it is still dubious organising by the FIM though and the race off will be poorer for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcham Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 At the start of the meeting we were all level, so I guess we were all threats? truth is the czech's were about as much a serious threat to us as we were to the swedes and danes. they ran last in 15 heats. lets try to be realistic.

hyderd Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 And many appreciate and agree with much of what he has to say (although not always). Just because someone has a different opinion to you, you think he shouldn't be on here? I am gutted Emil will be missing on Thursday was looking forward to him showing Fat boy Nicholls the way home. Instead will have to listen to Pearson orgasming every time the young Aussie comes out to ride. (thank heavens for the mute button) I hope Tai does'nt read this post and decide to make your post come true,Tai is as English as you and i,he was just raised in Aus because his parents emigrated.In fact he is the very opposite of our very own J Crump and you would'nt call him English,would you!

The "ov" weapon is massively over-rated (although not as over-rated as unSteady) and ineffective - I suggest you get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Damn I thought he might add some entertainment to what I see as being a poor meeting, well it's at Voyens, they don't eve have to apck the dirt down as they did at Coventry and Leszno, there is none to start with.

Matousek Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Who gives a toss, I will be watching that other rare and precious Team GB talent Tai Woffenden instead, mind you if Tai had a surname that ended in ov, then we might just have seen you start a similar thread. Maybe a little unfair on the guy, he clearly is a very talented rider, how many shove jason crump out of the way?. I like woofinden also mind, and reckon he will be a big success too. Britain do have talent coming through, but will they fullfill it only time will tell. One thing i will say is, the russians are getting better no doubt, not long ago they was just there to make numbers up, now there very competitive, and lets be honest they got 36, us in uk got 25.5 in home country.

tarabanko Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Iam sad not to see Emil on thursday he is always good to see that boy. Poor planning or not by FIM? Russia has to do there best even more now for Emil. Can it be so that the FIM people or who it is who are doing the calender didnt thought that Russia should get through?

iris123 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 That is terrible news.I was hoping this would be the first time i get to see him live.Was hoping all teams turn up with their best riders.Crap planning.At least it seems certain(?) Tai will be there which is something of a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
