Popular Post 21st century heathen Posted February 21, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Often seen as the villain of the peace Matt Ford is never far from BSF headlines but on this occasion his comments following Ward's latest indiscretion should be commended. He's pretty much got it bang on. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/10241146.Pirates__Darcy_needs_professional_help_says_boss_Ford/ 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Fully agree 21CH. Well said Matt Ford, let's hope some assistance can be given to Darcy, it would be a shame to see such talent go to waste.

stevebrum Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hopefully Ford will have a word with Middlo about his crass comment as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty much got it bang on. Agreed, I fully applaud him for his comments. What ever you think of MF I would always expect him to say the right thing in these circumstances. Hopefully Ford will have a word with Middlo about his crass comment as well. Probably already has! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well said Ford ..no reason he cant get his visa and continue to ride . he obviously realises that he should not keep breaking the law and will take steps through professional help to make sure it appears he is doing all he can to become a model citizen . no need to ban the lad for 12 months or take any other action Darcy and his psychiatrist are working hard to create the illusion that he really is sorry for his constant misbehaviour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Agree, his comment were spot on IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 It's a fair comment from MF. I doubt Ward will have any trouble getting back here as we let in worse people. It's a shame as the lad is probably the most exciting speedway rider since Tomas Gollob. He does need to be policed here by the speedway authorities as drugs and speedway don't mix. Fame is a two edged sword and looks like ward is having a bit of trouble. Let's hope he gets a bit of help and gets this silliness out of him before he ends up speedways version of Gazza.

marksimmo Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Mr Ford is Im sure deeply upset and embarrassed at the unwanted attention events have embroiled him and his management team in through no fault of their own. I would suggest Mr Ford is echoing the feelings amongst supporters local to Poole for a long time following a series of things. No one wishes the career of such a talent implode but despite his ability, he has to remember that Mr Ford and ultimately teh fans pay his wages. He has caused upset and distress by his actions and he owes a great apology. Words are words and action will speak louder. Many riders Darcy's age would give their right arm for half his talent. They cant earn what he can nor get the support he does to further their career. He has to listen to Mr Ford, Middlo and those that mentor him or we will be reminising on ' Who was that Darcy fella 20 years ago that disappeared back to Oz'. Mr Ford is right, but if truth be known I dont think he now left with any other options unless Darcy himself switches off the self destruct button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 As someone who is quick to critisize Matt, I'll add that I also think he's handled this as well as he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty much got it bang on. http://www.bournemou...says_boss_Ford/ Well said Matt Ford. Let us hope that Ward is wise and sensible enough to take Matt's advice. I somehow doubt it though. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Amasing how many suddenly change their opinion of Matt. This is something everybody at poole already knows. It's 'Amazing' Starman.. Personally my opinion hasn't changed, though I don't think it does any harm to give credit, where credit is due. Matt Ford, (if he wasn't misquoted) gave a most reasoned response to recent events a la young Darcy and despite the fact he, MF sometimes gets bad press (we all know why), I think it only reasonable to acknowledge things when he does them right.. To finish I do hope that Darcy can sort himself out as I struggle to think of a more talented rider at his young age, at the end of the day though, it's up-to-him. Having said that, someone posted earlier that the Pawlicki's could replace Darcy and Howarth - if I were a Poole fan, I'd go for that, especially as things are right now..

SCB Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Amasing how many suddenly change their opinion of Matt. This is something everybody at poole already knows. I still think Matt Ford would sell his granny to gain an advantage over the rest of the league and will screw anyone over he has to. just because he's handled this one situation well doesn't mean he's suddenly in line for a sainthood in my opinion.

Bagpuss Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 My opinion of Ford hasn't changed, but at least he seems to be dealing with this situation correctly and a damn site better than Middlo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Amasing how many suddenly change their opinion of Matt. This is something everybody at poole already knows. Perhaps its just that many people do not blindly think one way or another but are capable of taking every situation at its own merits and give credit where its due 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comebackkings Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Have to agree, in this instance Mr Ford seems to be a lot more media savvy than his team manager. I still think he is a cheating git when it comes to fiddling rules and averages though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Perhaps its just that many people do not blindly think one way or another but are capable of taking every situation at its own merits and give credit where its due Absolutely spot on. I suggest Starman considers the comments of Mr Ford.. then considers his (Starmans) defence of Mr Middleditch... then considers this post from Lioness. Might be asking too much though...
