BWitcher Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Poleway are winning .... nope anyone can do that ... just that some countrys have pride in there own Like England and their cricket team you mean? Great Britain would do exactly the same if they had the opportunity. Its not cheating as no rules are being broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Team GB with another team manager who aint got a scooby tactically. Polish manager ain't much better - we could use the joker a couple of races back but we didn't. And probably won't get to until the end of the meeting.

It was obvious they would come back into the meeting and the chance wouldn't come round again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mateusz Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Poleway are winning .... nope anyone can do that ... just that some countrys have pride in there own GB, a multicultural country with millions of emigrants from the whole world - who later represent GB in many kinds of sports ... and you are moaning about Holta like it was something new. He's been living in Poland for ages, paxing taxes here, his gf is Polish, he owns land here and he's got a house here, finally - HE chose to ride for Poland, we didn't ask him. You must be a chauvinist member of some national party having a problem with this. Anyway, EOT, not gonna waste my time anymore replying to such stupid posts like yours.

Mateusz Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Correct.. Now if he talked about dodgy polish engines he might be onto something.. amazing how they make up 20 yards.. on the straight.. time and again. Well, they can ALWAYS ask the ref to examine the Polish engines. I'm sure we have NOTHING to hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Correct decision ... Poleway just cannot handle it U got anything more to say about the ref, now? Ha ha ha ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowmix Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 U got anything more to say about the ref, now? Ha ha ha ! Ref made the correct decision, and much respect to Bomber for not throwing his toys out of the pram about it ala Gollob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Well, they can ALWAYS ask the ref to examine the Polish engines. I'm sure we have NOTHING to hide. Of course... Riders have ASKED for the engines to be examined and the FIM will not do so. Quite simply, the sport cannot afford the scandal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meowmix Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Oh dear, that could be costly for Poland. What was Miedzinski doing fannying about though? Surely he could have got that bike going and picked up a point for his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Well, they can ALWAYS ask the ref to examine the Polish engines. I'm sure we have NOTHING to hide. that would possibly involve a) the authorities being technologically up to date enough to catch people out b.) allow the relevant funding for a) c) be prepared to name and shame anyone caught out for the record if anyone is cheating then IMHO it certainly isn't just the poles ... but I do think that it is time this was addressed at the top level of the sport without forcing opponents to make formal complaints Edited August 1, 2010 by spook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowmix Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Remind the last time Gollob throwing ANYTHING! Heat 3 SWC Final 2010 Vojen's Denmark. Berating the ref about excluding him when he went down on his own, and THROWING his crash helmet against the pit wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Blinkered Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ref made the correct decision, and much respect to Bomber for not throwing his toys out of the pram about it ala Gollob! Absolutely, Chris was very calm and accepted it was racing, even if he was given a little tap, which he was. He admitted his own mistake in changing the gearing so full respect to him. What worried me more was what the Sky camera's showed, now I appreciate we could not see everything that went on, but first it showed Chris carrying his own bike back, nobody helping him, then Lyons and others looking at the replay and Lyons looked dejected, rightly so, but Lee Richardson was safrican americaning away. That may be something and nothing, but then it showed Chris Harris sitting in the pits looking very dejected and nobody was going over to put a hand on his shoulder to gee him up. There was a lot of talk about team spirit but it seemed lacking from those screen shots. But, a little caveat being we could not see everything so maybe the spirit is there, but they just missed that on screen. Ashley Holloway looked an arse at the British GP last year for shoulder charging Nichols, but this weekend watching him being interviewed, and walking over to help Chris Harris after his fall he actually comes across an ok and nice guy.

Anyway, not throwing anything doesn't make Harris a better rider than Gollob, I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, not throwing anything doesn't make Harris a better rider than Gollob, I'm afraid With you on this one Mateusz.. It shows he has passion and a burning will to win. Prasising someone for calmy accepting things is akin to the old British tradition of "Round of applause for the loser" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, not throwing anything doesn't make Harris a better rider than Gollob, I'm afraid Ah, but I didn't say Bomber was a better rider than Gollob. Just that he's more of a gent in accepting the referee's decision, when he really had a better cause to complain about being excluded than Gollob did.
