Snyper1010 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Seems what i would call a gentleman and what you would wolfy are two completely different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayTShirts Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Why should he be? a 19yo lad is willing to stand up and take him on who the hell needs to be scared of a poncey Englishman who has his head so far up his own rectum that he doesnt realise he aint as good as he thinks. Ahhhhhh that must be where the 'COME ON ENGLAND, COME ON ENGLAND.........' got its relevance from, I'm glad to finally have it confirmed that Scotty along with Eddy and Bomber are actually 'ENGLISH' !!

Snyper1010 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 What did you think they were Bert? French? The issue is though they should be carrying a St Georges cross not a Union flag and should be introduced as English and not British and that will slowly filter through to the FIM who will then be forced to grant Scotland a national team and independent identity in SGP/SWC etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemphizzx Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 but there again I cannot recall ever having had a bad experience with any rider Me neither - all of them i have met with my lad have been very approachable - however some do go out of their way to make kids feel special -( a word a shake of the hand etc - means the world to a 4 yr old) and Scott is one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 First chance I have had to comment on the incident since last Saturday....from where we sat high up on the third bend it looked like Nicholls closed the door round the last bend but left Emil room to race. IMO the reaction of the Russian was way OTT, perhaps he is finding it hard to handle the pressure of expectation in the GP's now and loses his rag when things aren't going his way? Has loads of talent and at 19 one can excuse a lack of composure but he needs to develop some quickly if he is to remain at the top end of the GP rankings. Looked to me like Nicholls tried hard to ride away from Emil but as he has said in the press, when someone starts clouting you round the head you are hardly going to stand there and let them do it.

KiddlyKestrel Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Scott Nicholls is a waste of space. Plain and simple. As Snyper says before he thinks he's better than he actually is. This has always been the case, his arrogance is beyond belief. In my opinion the support of British speedway fans is wasted on this rider.

You're entitled to your opinion KK but can you actually clarify why he is arrogant or give any quotes that suggests he's arrogant? When has he said or hinted that he is better than he is? I'm not trying to be funny, I'm just confused that if he is, as you say, arrogant beyond belief, why is it not obvious to everyone? Why is he a waste of space? A bit uncalled for I think.

The fact that it is obvious to some warrants the comment and opinion. I only wonder what Chris Harris' opinion would be?! The way I see it, and thats all it is, Scott Nicholls has always whinged and moaned when he is on end of a wrong doing yet still goes and does it himself to the next rider. Take this latest incident with Sayfutdinov, he rides the man out and out he knows where his opponent is as he's looking sideways not forwards, he may aswell of just hung him up on the fence. There have been other victims of this not neccessarily dirty but hard riding too, including his own fellow countryman and teammate Chris Harris. Now how many times has Nicki or Hans done that to Scott and he's bitched about them. What goes around , comes around and you've got to be able to take it aswell as give. He's not the British No.1 anymore again IMO he never really was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the British No.1 anymore again IMO he never really was. Fair enough KK, I'm fully behind everyone having an opinion. Can't say I agree with it all mind. Nothing wrong with the move at Cardiff in my opinion, Emil was the one that overeacted but thats been done to death now. Nicki and Hans do their fair share of moaning too so that must mean they are arrogant. Dont see what influence Bomber should have on anyones opinion. No he's not Britains No.1, thats obvious, but 5 time British Champion says he must have been at one time. I dont remember him moaning too much. I remember during one of the World cups when he got the hump with Hans but then he had a right to and I remember last season with Dryml, but then I thought that was justified too. I dont doubt that he has moaned on other occasions but then a fair preportion of the riders I've ever seen have moaned unjustifiably at some time, thats all part of speedway. Clearly you just dont like the guy but then thats you're prerogative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the British No.1 anymore again IMO he never really was. Dont make me laugh...talk about having about having a serious grudge against a rider. How old are you?? If you're old enough, you will have seen Scott develop from a 16 year old lad and novice, into one of the sports top riders. Ok, so he hasnt won the World Title, neither is he likely to, but for heavens sake, get a grip on reality. Having followed Scott from his first pro rides, to his current position, he has never been a deliberately dirty rider. This business with Harris is all a load of cobblers, yes they had a few clashes, but no more than two rams butting heads to sort out who's the topdog. Yes, they had a coming together, but its not like Scott goes out and tries to ram Harris everytime they meet on track. And as for your comment about "What goes around comes around".... Scott has been on the end of some seriously dirty riding, but has not gone out of his way to seek revenge. This incident in the British GP is being blown out of all proportion by many. It was hard riding from Scott, but he did leave room, the Russkie just couldn't handle it, simple as that. It could have been anyone out there, riding him hard, it just so happened to be Scott. I concure with many on here, Scott is one of THE nicest and most approachable riders in World speedway. Like when my son was having some serious medical problems, Scott was the first to do something for the lad. Photo's with him, with my boy on his bike, giving my lad a racejacket, signed lots of goodies for him and asked after his well being at every opportunity, Scott even had him round to his Dads house, to see the workshop setup one day. Along with Craig Boyce, who kindly donated his brand new racing gloves to my boy, during the same time period, those guys will always be No1 for us. Just out of interest KiddlyKestrel... Have you ever taken the time to speak to Scott, ask him about his racing, what he thinks, seen him as he is off track??? I doubt very much that you have. Yet another that jumps on the 'Lets Bash Scott Nicholls' Bandwagon, without actually knowing the guy. As for being arrogant, you are so far off the mark, you're nearly on another planet. Scott is passionate about his racing, he wants to win for his team, or his country. Do you honestly believe he likes losing races?? If you do, then might I respectfully suggest you go and seek another sport to watch, because you have very little knowledge of UK speedway and Scott Nicholls in particular. And at NO point did Scott say he was going to be World Champion, he wants to be in that top 8 to qualify on merit...oooh but thats arrogance according to people like you. To others its ambition, pure and simple. I have no doubt that Scott would have like the World Title to add to his ... what is it 5 British Titles now??? But even he is realistic enough to realise that thats not likely now. When you can back up your wild claims about Scott with cold hard facts, please come back and enlighten us with them, but I wont be holding my breathe as you dont have any do you? Apart from what you apparently see on track, which is not something that happens very often from Scott, what do you actually personally know about him?? I will of course, expect the usual senseless response, as is the usual way on this forum lately. An yours is not an opinion, its an attack on a rider for the sake of it. This site IS about different opinions, but NOT attacks on riders for the sake of it and using the "Its just my opnion" line doesnt cut it I'm afraid. Well, you can now show your true colours with another scathing attack, but thats to be expected. At the end of the day, I dont particularly like Harris, but I'll be cheering him on in both the SWC and the GP's, as I will ALL of our Team GB boys, regardless of my opinions of them.
