wolfy Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 The fact it is not obvious to everyone is because we are entitled to our own opinions. 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. How the hell can you have an opinion on something that is fact!!!!! I'm all for everyone having an opinion of him but to have an opinion on a black and white printed scorecard of the british riders championship (5 times) is plain ridiculous. And "he may as well just hung him up on the fence" is again ridiculous. the incident was mid track. wolfy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 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. one of the best posts i have seen, enough said. wolfy!!!!

Snyper1010 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Having followed Scott from his first pro rides, to his current position That says it all for me. You clearly cannot give an un biased or impartial decision as you are a clear fan of Scott Nicholls so everything you say will more or less be tinted by your support if Scott. Just as people would say my comments on Hans Andersen are biased as im a fan of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul84 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Of course im going to be slightly biased being "British" and all but it was clear that scott Nicholls didnty want any trouble. After the race he put his hand up to tell Emil to "Leave it " then to defend himself pushed him away- after that Emil lost his temper and to me Scotty was trying to defend himself, fare enough he maybe shouldnt of reacted but it wasnt Scottys fault Also Scott Nicholls did nothing wrong during the race, the young Emil just got rode high and didnt like being beaten by the better rider on that occassion.

Snyper1010 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Nicholls aint better than Emil end of. You say Scott done nothing wrong yet you admit he pushed Emil. He didnt just push him once either did he? He then rode him into the pit gate. Do you really blame Emil for smacking him? I dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul84 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Nicholls aint better than Emil end of. You say Scott done nothing wrong yet you admit he pushed Emil. He didnt just push him once either did he? He then rode him into the pit gate. Do you really blame Emil for smacking him? I dont. from what i seen Scott didnt want any fighting he just tryed to keep Emil away from him. And yes like i say on that occassion Scott was better then Emil who came last and scored 0 points in that particular race. And dont worry Snyper you will be used to disagreeing with people thats what you seem to do alot on here, But hey its your opinion it maybe different but its yours Edited July 4, 2009 by Stoney=Legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyper1010 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 You dont need to shove a rider twice to keep them away. if he had rode out to the right he may of fit through that pit gate rath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 You dont need to shove a rider twice to keep them away. if he had rode out to the right he may of fit through that pit gate rather than turning left and ending up into it. But then as you say your blinded by being ENGLISH. I am sure he stated he was 'british'!!!! wolfy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 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. Yep, thats a very educated post that, what else did you get for Christmas?. Looking at your name that says it all!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 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. Excellent, we could do with a laugh!

f-s-p Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Nicholls vs. Sajfutdinov fight on Youtube has now also been mentioned on the website of #1 Finnish daily newspaper, Iltasanomat! Alltough again for the totally wrong reasons, this is still much better than last time. A year ago speedway was mentioned in every media in Finland after Timo Villanen was paralysed in a track crash at Seinäjoki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiddlyKestrel Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) I'm sorry if I've offended anyone in this topic. Just calling it the way I see it. A little vitriolic it's true but purely my point of view. In reply to tomcat, yes I have taken the time to talk with Scott in the past and even then he came across to me as brash and arrogant. I've also seen him stuff a rider in the fence at cycle speedway too even though the races were purely for demonstration purposes his supposed competitive nature was still very much evident! It seems my fellow posters on this topic seem as annoyed and bitter towards me as they are to Sayfutdinov, Ashley Holloway and anyone else who's name is not Scott Nicholls. Continue to support Nicholls if you like but when I see calls for backing our boys he's one that will get cheers, only jeers.
