SCB Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 26 pages and probably only about four posts on the actual meeting itself, ever wondered why Joe Public thinks that speedway fans are a bunch of saddo's ?? It's the anoraks, wulfsport jackets and the need to fill in programme at every meeting and getting upset if they don't hear the heat time to 2 decimal places that's been timed by a geriatric in the referees box with a stop watch.

em1500uk Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 You may well know him personally, that's your problem. But the drivel he's been spouting on here since Thursday is blatant trolling, pure and simple. How is that a problem for me might I ask? As I've said before, he's just passionate about fighting his corner that's all. I'm sure there are other fans on here that may well do the same thing, only not on here, but in a face to face debate with someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipswich Jules Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Aye whatever..there's never any reasoning with you Jules..you just go on..and on ad nauseum.I think i've said my peace (along with Cookie lol ).You lot should put your money where yir gubs are, and club together for a chuckaboom coach journey & come up on september the 6th to back your boys up..should be a night and a half!! Â What is there to reason with me about? Cook was thrown out, for good reason. The end. Â It's not something up for discussion. Â Â Â You moan about Ipswich threads but you're forever posting in them, closet Witches fan I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brujas Espanolas Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Â Sorry London Witch. I know Young51 personally and rest assured, he is no troll. He's just passionate about fighting his corner!............ Â Â There's nothing wrong with passion and standing ones corner. However when this comes at the cost of chanting the same mantra despite all the evidence to the contrary, you can forgive some for drawing the conclusion that he is nothing more than a troll. Â As a result of this one gains the impression that he may not be the sharpest knife in the box. This may be totally unfair, but the chain of events on Thursday is now blindingly obvious, and the difficulty he his having in recognising this, questions his ability to sort facts. Â The most simple piece of cognitive analysis should by now have identified the two separate dynamics of this dispute. Whether his failure to recognise this is down to a lack of intelligence, ignorance, or just sheer bloody mindedness is anyone's guess!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Young51 is indeed passionate about fighting his corner, but he can't accept that he hasn't got one on this particular event. The whole point is that face to face debate was required on Thursday, but Edinburgh fans were happy to celebrate Cook's violent response, and have consistently failed to accept Cook's responsibility for his own actions - even though Cook himself has done so. Â Rather harsh to label all Edinburgh fans accordingly... think you'll find many pages ago both Young51 and I accepted the right action was handed out to Cookie if the ref deemed he was in not state to control a speedway bike after their discussion - which he did and Cookie agreed with in the cold light of day. Â One thing that not too many of you (though some can) can accept is that what the trigger to the incident was - the spark that ignited a fire that had been smouldering for a few weeks... Granted it needed next to no spark, but indeed the spark was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monarchlad Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I posted a report <smug grin>. Your boy done good. His main ambition must be: to be the first rider to crack gate 4 :-)    Young51 is indeed passionate about fighting his corner, but he can't accept that he hasn't got one on this particular event. The whole point is that face to face debate was required on Thursday, but Edinburgh fans were happy to celebrate Cook's violent response, and have consistently failed to accept Cook's responsibility for his own actions - even though Cook himself has done so.  I suppose the "violent response" against the radiator was something that none of us really knew about, so how could we celebrate??, Barker and Cookie were both involved in the original "handbags" that should have been the end of it, and a quite word in both riders ears should have been fine.........(yes pun) and a £350 one at that  This subject should now be done a dusted, and we move on to chapter 10 or 12 at the Dale on the 6th Sept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBSCENESPEEDWAY Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Cook has been a silly boy reacting to that rodent! Â he should no better it's not the first time and won't be the last that mr barker gets involved in this kind of stuff. Â One of these times Barker is going to get himself into bother and really get hurt but i'm sure he will get a nice reception when he comes to armadale. There always seems to be trouble surrounding cook! He wholeheartedly believes he has world champion potential but he acts like a complete spoilt idiot, not a very professional person, who seems to take all comments the wrong way and reacts then conveniently apologises and everything is ok!! well its not.. its a crap way to behave!! strongly believe here that a good/professional rider needs to be the complete package, both on and off track........... Unfortunately Cook don't have that, he has the ability to be decent, but nowhere near as good as he thinks he can be!! plus he looks like a rodent!!! someone needs to tell him to get over himself!

Tom Thumb Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Without wanting to get involved in the arguments (which were already getting boring on Friday), what did Ben Barker actually say in the Sun on Saturday? Â All the best Rob Hi Rob, Â Speedway from The Sun on Saturday by Russell Lanning. Â Ben Barker has denied provoking the "violent behaviour" that had fellow GB star Craig Cook chucked out of a meeting. Edinburgh No.1 Cookie threw a punch at Ipswich's Barker in the pits after they clashed on Thursday. Barker said "he passed me fair and square in the opening race. He claims I barged past him on the way back to the pits but I didn't." Cook said "I'd like to make an unreserved apology. I am not the sort of person who looks for conflict." Â Poole have signed double World Champion Greg Hancock. Edited July 29, 2013 by Tom Thumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
