RacerDon Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I wish everyone would shut up about the commentators. Quite right, we should be proud as a nation that Nigel Pearson has retained his title in the World Cup of Shouting. Sadly rumour is that Poland are offering to let him commentate under one of their licences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 No, of course they don't. Only British speedway counts. The other stuff is just Mickey Mouse. And that's why the sport in this country is on it's knees. Too many people think Britain is still the be all and end all. They're like the old imperialists who failed to understand that Britain was no longer such a big deal on the global stage after World War II. A better analogy for foreigners is the hysteria regarding England's national football team and how we won the World Cup in 1966. Many football fans still live in 1966.

srbramble Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 superb indeed. Cant believe chose the PL tho when he was wanted back at Wolves. Think he would have done a superb job for us personally in the EL As a wolf owned rider - i can only echo your pride. On Nermark, it was all about the ability to earn money. He believes, that there is more to be earned in the PL. On Tai, I have heard rumours to suggest the same applies to him. Don't be surprised if he takes another season in the PL.

Guest chris26 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 i did notice that when georgie was interviewing him, he didn't really look at georgie which was surprising! as good looking as she may be, he did well not to be distracted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegum Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) He only races in the PL because he enjoys it more doesn't he? He was a 7-8 point EL rider a few years back before he broke his legs and is now back to good form again. All this talk about about PL v EL is irrelevant. We all know the that the EL is actually far from being Elite especially at the bottom end of teams where the majority of riders would struggle against the top PL boys. Just look at the perfomances of most of the PL league 'guests'. Edited July 18, 2008 by mikegum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I don't know if it has been mentioned,but i thought (apart from Gb getting knocked out)that it was a good meeting.And the people i talked to all said the same.There is a lot of people who have been knocking Vojens when they have probably only seen one or two meetings. Also good to meet up with lots of people,but especially my 2 Swedish colleagues,Linda Andersson and Sandra Davidsson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Kindly engage what passes as your brain before posting with that kind of language. I am the adoptive parent of a blind teenager with Down Syndrome and every time I see this kind of stuff it goes straight to my heart. A moment's thought is all it takes. Have to agree, with you and why the post has not been censored is just as much annoying, it is disgusting and the language used went out a long time ago, really make my blood boil. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Addison Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I agree, Scott Nicholls should beat Ljung and Nermark. Nicholls is a GP-rider, and even if Ljung and Nermark have qualified for the Grand final, they arent as good as Scootie. But it seems like the Swedes really wanted revenge for the failure last year. In every heat the Swedes tried to win, no matter who was in front of them. Most of the brits looked like they were on an ordinary sundaytrip (except for Tai who was absolutely magnificent). I dont know if Lynch has problem of motivate them to win. And to be honest, why did Lynch ride Scott as TJ from lane one? That lane was terrible and everybody knew it (maybe except for Lynch...). Howverver, like Anders, I am proud of the Swedish team, they did an awesome job. I dont think Sweden is going to win on Saturday but I think all the Swedish riders will do their best to do so. You are quite right to be proud of your team Niclas, they did do the job properly on the night. I can't see anyone beating the favourites Denmark on saturday but the Aussies do have an outside chance. I always like to pull for the underdog when my team or country are not involved [ hence happy that Scunthorpe have whupped King's Lynn tonight ] So on saturday i am going to shout for Sweden, followed by Poland.

spin king Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 On Tai, I have heard rumours to suggest the same applies to him. Don't be surprised if he takes another season in the PL. i very much doubt that this is right I think that Tai will be an Elite League rider next season, if I was a Wolves fan I would ecited at the prospect at Tai riding at Monmore Green next season.

All depends on what shape the Elite league is in next season. From what I`ve seen of him,he definitely needs to be among the big boys next year,that`s if he wants to of course.
