Bagpuss Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 He's right, but I think if any of the four finalists had made the start they would have 'smoked' the final. Interesting comments from Proctor, although I'm not sure that holding it at Lynn would solve the home advantage problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting comments from Proctor, although I'm not sure that holding it at Lynn would solve the home advantage problem Ty must be either trying to be ironic or trying to prove some kind of point!! It's clear to all that Ashworth only won as the meeting was @ Sheffield but he can only beat what's in front of him!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yearbyred Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ty is not the most gracious of losers (although he is better than he was last year). Think he was speaking out of frustration more than anything else. Actually - Ty might have had a chance at Kings Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideHard Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 i saw proctor in the pits when ricky was making his speech and he looked like he was crying and sean wilson was calming him down. ward was stood next to him having an interview, i must say i do not like darcy wards attitude at all, yes he is a good rider but he is a miserable to55er when he doesn't win. proctor blew his chance of having the best gate in the qualifiers, and he has beaten ashworth around owlerton a few times this year, ricky obviously wanted it more last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedef27 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Riders doing it on their own Award Ceremony from Sheffield Slurred Speech Award Big hello to all the usual suspects who obviously made their mark in the Tavern.Sorry i couldn't meet you in there unfortunately none of my passengers could drive & if that wasnt bad enough one of them *dont worry b4l i wont name you* has developed a bizarre illness which is like a taurette's allergy whereby when he goes past certain Sheffield football stadiums he coughs & sneezes obscenities. Also big hi to Squall,Vog, Spinny & anyone else i met for the 1st time Dick Emery Award Fisher - Really out of character for him and surprised he did not do more and i was thinking too myself yesterday oooohhhh you are awful when my thought passage was distracted by..............the next award Cluedo Award Ok admit it...i thoroughly enjoyed the party atmosphere on the 1st bend but something confused me who changed the lyrics to Lets all do the Conga to mention above rider Corrie VS Eastenders Award Not sure if your Steve MacDonald or Rikkkaaayyyy but a very big WELL DONE.An entertaining meeting and a rider won the hard way albeit with a tinge of track knowledge but no one can say for sure you would not have won it somewhere else. Dante in Film Clerks Award Michal.Just wasnt your day.Interestingly i asked b4l what he thought of all the other riders who had raced against Michal he said he didnt mind a certain rider (who he beat *coughs gifted*) and Kenni (he didnt want to walk home) Guinness Award Kenni- Well Done the man in Black & White only minor negative of the meeting is the last Award and unfortunately i must emphasise it should not be read until after the watershed and i would advise children & easily offended as well as the already bored do not read this Award please.I must say anyone who does read it and is offended please do not hesitate to send me your nasty comments on my B4L PM address Katie Prices 1st Boyfriend Award If you had a red helmet and got up the inside first good on ya however if you went in to the curves after that you entered the mix and ran the gamble as to whether you catch something & make a name for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Strong words from Ty Proctor in the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette tonight. "Take the meeting to anywhere else and bring it on" "It's Ricky Ashworths home track of course he's going to win it. He rides here every week. Take it to Kings Lynn, take it anywhere else and there would have been a diferent winner". Saying what most people are thinking. Far from sour grapes, just common sense! Ashworth wouldn't have won anywhere else! OH DEARY DEARY ME, is this same Ty Proctor, who was talking it large in the Redcar local press how he was going to win the meeting, funny I don't recall him mentioning Ricky Ashworth having home advantage. I think young Proctor needs to put his dummy back firmly in his mouth,and yes very much sour grapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenn Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 ward is a talent but an arrogant arsehole,so why did he not smoke ricky in their heat ,im starting to dislike this cocky aussie a lot. ward was stood next to him having an interview, i must say i do not like darcy wards attitude at all, yes he is a good rider but he is a miserable to55er when he doesn't win. It's called being passionate and wanting to win.....a trait that most Brits simply don't have!!! Darcy is a little star (no pun intended ) and will be more successful that any of his British counterparts! There is no bigger strop when he loses that a certain Aussie gonna-be-three-times-world-champion - These young Aussies learn from the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldscot Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 He's arrogant, cocky and hates losing....sounds like a future World Champion to me May well be the case, however I offered him my congratulations on finishing 2nd and gave him a consolatory pat on the back outside the panorama room. Could not even offer me a response!! Now know what to do in future - keep away Will offer my congratulations else where in future!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 It's called being passionate and wanting to win.....a trait that most Brits simply don't have!!! Was going to post something very similar but you have summed it up almost perfectly. Sure Darcy (and Proctor by the sound of it) need to learn how to lose with a little more grace, but I wish one or two Brits were more like that. If our riders hated losing as much we might be a little better as a nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking anything away from Ricky but from a rider's point of view they're going to see it the same way as half the fans on here. In the end you don't need to be Mr Sociable to be a speedway rider - it helps and endears you to the fans, but its not the only thing.

But to the rest who dared to beat him...this is b4l's 2 minute tangent Guinness Award Kenni- Well Done the man in Black & White only minor negative of the meeting is the last Award and unfortunately i must emphasise it should not be read until after the watershed and i would advise children & easily offended as well as the already bored do not read this Award please.I must say anyone who does read it and is offended please do not hesitate to send me your nasty comments on my B4L PM address It will be on sale in the next month, I think the advertising went well last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister 69 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 all the riders have beaten ricky around owlerton i think,and ricky has beaten all the riders also which made it a wide open meeting as was said by all the experts,so wheres this big home advantge myth,ricky was pumped up for this and did what he needed to do to win by coming from behind when he had to,did ward or procter expect choice of gate by not top scoring,a very sour pair of aussies.
