fatface Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 The bloke is a bully on the track and in the pits, team gb has no team spiret as none of the other english riders like him. Look at cov and ippo when chris and hans were better than him, yep he got the hump and was nasty. He has fantastic ability on a bike but he will never do well in the gp because of the person he is. Seems an odd post. I don't know the numbers behind it, but it's always seemed to me that Nicholls has been one of the more successful riders in terms of team honours in British speedway. He certainly won lots of trophies with Ipswich and Coventry and this year won the KO Cup again with Eastbourne. Or has this all been achieved despite him?!

CheetahJake Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 As we are obviously going to have Chris Harris in the GP series I only wish that he would get rid of his insulting nickname. I don't know if he and his many fans realise it, but he has adpoted the name of a very dubious hero. Arthur "Bomber" Harris known also as "Butcher" Harris within RAF circles could easily have been tried as a war criminal but for the odd fact that the winning side doesn't seem to have any. He systematically targetted German working class residential areas for mass bombing, developing fire storms that sucked the very oxygen out of peoples' lungs. He probably was responsible for killing as many people as Himler or Stalin. Come on Chris, ditch it. COVENTRY, LONDON, BRISTOL, SOUTHAMPTON, PLYMOUTH - No, I'm not talking of their speedway teams, I'm talking of them as cities devastated by the Luftwaffe. Bomber Command lost the highest numbers of men in percentage terms than any of the other branches of the armed forces. Bomber Harris had a job to do which neither he, nor any other right-minded person would have relished doing, not least of all, knowingly sending so very many crews potentially to their deaths. There was a job to do, without which neither you nor I might ever have seen the light of day. Somebody had to do it. What he didn't do was to send without just cause, millions to concentration and extermination camps because of their political views, their religion or ethnicity. I am surprised that someone of your age (only 3 years younger than myself) should express such views that are distorted and not within the appropriate context, either in relation to Chris Harris, nor indeed, on the day that fell between Remembrance Sunday and the actual 90th Anniversary of Armistice Day. Shame on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalin was responsible for between 20 and 60 MILLION deaths, Pugwash - I don't think Allied Hero "Bomber" Harris is in the same league, m8.

scotty2hotty Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just look at his results over all the years he has been in the gp. There terrible and he should of been thrown out this year and then maybe his head might have got slightly smaller. The bloke is a bully on the track and in the pits, team gb has no team spiret as none of the other english riders like him. Look at cov and ippo when chris and hans were better than him, yep he got the hump and was nasty. He has fantastic ability on a bike but he will never do well in the gp because of the person he is. This post is absolutely ludicrous. Nicholls is a pussycat compared to some others. As for being a bully, why should he take the likes of Dryml in this years GP and Andersen in the World Cup a few years back blatently trying to fence him, would you accept it, I doubt it. He has every right to have some 'handbags' or not shake the guys hand, why the hell should he, would you? Scott has always been a good team man, but when it comes to the GP its each man for himself.

scotty2hotty Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 People are going on that Nicholls has issues with Bomber and andersen, how about if Bomber and Andersen actually have issues with Scott. Why is it always Scott;s fault? I have known Scott for many years and yes of course in any sport there are always going to be other riders you dont get on with, the same as us normal people dont sometimes get on with other people at our place of work. I may be slightly biased, but from all of the riders I have ever met, he is one of the most friendly and approachable rdiers you are ever likely to meet. Stop disecting the guys personality, there are many many more ignorant, arrogant and down right dangerous riders out there than Scott Nicholls.

Ross Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I can only agree with the above post, Coventry in the 1st half of the season had no leadership in my opinion and when heads dropped i just dont think bomber has the personality to lift others when he was going through a bad spell himself. As for the problems between Scott and Bomber is that they are both to blame and should get there heads banged together and put this childish act behind them.They are our top 2 guys and its no example to be setting to youngsters in speedway and those who watch speedway.
