dabbsjoe Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Obviously discovering all his "names" don't have the same power at FIM level as they do at BSPA level. #SadTimes I'd say his whole handling of this situation and his attitude towards it show how things usually get dealt with by BSPA and how a serious issue like the visas was handled originally by them 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Despite Middlo's stupidity, we have to thank him for providing this seasons winter drama to keep us all entertained... or is it a black comedy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Despite Middlo's stupidity, we have to thank him for providing this seasons winter drama to keep us all entertained... or is it a black comedy? TBF I said about 3 weeks ago I hope they take the full 45 days as Middlo and his band of merry men and women would provide us with a great deal of comedy. They've not let me down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 ps. for those that are on twitter, they will have seen Darcy's tweet this morning that both he and his lawyer were/are aware of the 45 day rule but were informed differently at the hearing after advising of the UK visa issues!! . Who informed them? The tea lady! I honestly cannot see anyone connected with the FIM even hinting at special treatment. Probably what was said was they would do it as fast as possible, which presumably is how they process all cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflyingkiwi Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I wonder if Muddlo has fallen foul of the SCB's regulations surrounding conduct and social media. 4.1.6 Riders, Officials, Employers & Employees are required to conduct themselves in an orderly and disciplined manner at all times. Proceedings or acts must not be committed that are prejudicial to the interests of any part of the ACU, SCB, BSPA or of the sport of motorcycling generally by way of any and all verbal or written communication in any format. 4.1.7 The use of foul, abusive or offensive language, profane activity or fraudulent comments by any accessible medium, e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Texts, Webshots, Instagrams, Public Forums or any other Social Network sites etc., (this list is not exhaustive) is not permitted. 4.1.8 Ungentlemanly conduct and / or acts of a violent, threatening, racist or abusive nature to any Official, Rider or any other person. Couldn't see that the BSPA or the SCB would reprimand poor old Muddlo for it... not that he would even understand the legal goings on based on his present form.

Chris Brown Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Who informed them? The tea lady! I honestly cannot see anyone connected with the FIM even hinting at special treatment. Probably what was said was they would do it as fast as possible, which presumably is how they process all cases. But do they not realise this is Poole they are dealing with, the self proclaimed Man Utd of speedway Middleditch has showed his real colours here though hasn't he, a whole bundle of people saw him as a clown and he has performed that act brilliantly, breaking the rules of his own governing body, factually being wrong over and over again, seemingly speaking for others in say 'everyone' wants Ward to be allowed to ride I suspect his ridiculous antics have done nothing to help Ward's position in terms of whether speedway fans want to be allowed to ride. I reckon the best thing Ward can do is fine somewhere else to live and cut himself off from this bloke who is dragging him down Certainly glad that Ward's memory is coming back though, fancy forgetting that there was a 45 day rule, wonder if he told his muddled mouthpiece ? They all look like a bunch of idiots to be honest What do I want, I want Ward to be punished properly and that means seeing out a 12 month ban for me, I would then think he should distance himself from those who are hampering him (both so called mates who seem to lead or at least stop him going astray) and get back to doing what he is good at because as it stands in terms of a wasted career, he is on the road to being the biggest waster in history 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbsjoe Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Have some compassion for the poor confused old soul. Remember this is the same Neil Middleditch who was the GB International team manager, but had to let Phil Morris officially do the job because he'd forgotten to apply for an international team managers' licence. I hope one of Middlo's names isn't "gustix". He gets annoyed at people using his name if that's correct then that pretty much sums up the professionalism of the man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillipsr Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Makes you wonder how Poole have won the title SO MANY times during his tenure as manager. Because Ford can afford the best riders i could manage that team to be league champions lets be honest a speedways manager job is easy you dont need to be brains of Britain as Middlo proves 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Makes you wonder how Poole have won the title SO MANY times during despite Middlo's tenure as manager. Corrected for accuracy. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Makes you wonder how Poole have won the title SO MANY times during Middlo's tenure as manager. They have won the league in spite of Middlo not because of him. The man has proved many times on social media, his quotes on tv and as Team GB manager that he is a clown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Now you're being disrespectful to clowns, Gavan. Anyway, talking of the "war of words" on social media, poor Darcy is currently taking a real hammering on the latest thread on the subject on Facebook's Speedway Friends page. The poor lad will be pleased when the 45 days are up I should think...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor lad will be pleased when the 45 days are up I should think...... The infamous group where so many are banned from. My ban was for suggesting it was foolish to say Nicki Pedersens attitude had 'held his career back'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Will be glad when this whole drama is over with. Not to long to wait to here that Darcy has been banned for 2 years, Middo has been sacked as manager for shouting his big gob off, and all the I love Darcy fan club realise that the lad has done wrong and will get his just rewards. As said a few posts ago, I hope he sees sense and finds some real true friends who will put him on a level coars, because those that he associates with now are not doing him any favours. So how many days have we left of the 45 because I have lost count. The tweets and news aticles will go down in history as the worst in our history, how can they even think that he is being done wrong by having to wait. If he comes back racing again after the ban and stays with the same bunch of friends and advisors, he will soon end up in trouble again and it will then be the end of him a great speedway racer, who has been lead astray and he will soon be forgoten only being remembered as the talant that could have been.

BWitcher Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 There is a new movement afoot.. The lackeys are all tweeting photos of Darcy posing for photos. After all, if you pose for a photo, you can do no wrong! I'm sure there will be a further delay now while the FIM take this now evidence into account. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
