The White Knight Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Got an idea...why not all the Darcy Ward supporters and apologists start an on-line petition to get him reinstated, like the one for Jeremy Clarkson? Surely Ward can get more signatures on his petition than Clarkson is doing? What could possibly go wrong? "That's what young people do these days" - errr - isn't it? :shock: :nono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 are you suggesting "That's what young people do these days" - errr - isn't it? :shock: :nono: Are you suggesting that Darcy Ward's supporters and apologists are all OLD? Surely not??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Darcy is "waiting on some details" before he can release his statement (source darcy's twitterpage). Edited March 12, 2015 by waihekeaces1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 You're beginning to sound like Muddlo, SCB. While slightly worrying, it is the style I was going for. I forgot to #DarcyIsAJoke at the end though, so even I know I can do better next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Got an idea...why not all the Darcy Ward supporters and apologists start an on-line petition to get him reinstated, like the one for Jeremy Clarkson? Surely Ward can get more signatures on his petition than Clarkson is doing? What could possibly go wrong? Joking apart, quite a few similarities with the DW and Clarkson debacles. Both are pillocks. Both perform gross misdemeaners:- Darcy gets rat arsed before a GP and fails a subsequent breath test. Clarkson 'chins' some gezzer. Both get suspended by their governing bodies the FIM and BBC. There it stops: The Poole rider Ward gets lambasted all over this place, Clarkson who has never riden for Poole to my knowledge,(anoraks confirm) gets half a million to sign a supportive petition and gets all sort of backing on here. Strange. btw Believe Clarkson did slag off Bournemouth a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the thread http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=76311&page=20 and look at the most recent Posts where there is more about what may have happened in the Clarkson incident.

ytsejam Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hopefully he will Salty, Ward,Emil , Laguta are in the top ten riders in the world and this GP series is not the best it should be!!! the best riders are not riding in the GP series. Spot on with that. Stuff the politics and childish personal vendetta's that so many in here have, ALL I am interested in watching are the very BEST riders competing for the World Championship and that certainly isn't happening in 2015. Hopefully whatever it is that is preventing Emil from competing (and Laguta, politics?) will be finally sorted this year and if Ward keeps his nose clean this season then he also deserves a place too, so that finally in 2016 we WILL have a World Championship with the best riders competing in it (injuries permitting of course). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - for me sidney. But Ward still deserves his punishment and MUST be made to serve his Ban. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yes - for me sidney. But Ward still deserves his punishment and MUST be made to serve his Ban. What planet you on, ? Darcy will serve his ban, there will be no reprieve there will be no reduced sentence, he will be back riding at the end of june. Hope that clears things up..

I agree WK certainly,what do you think a massive fine ? goes to Charity ?he has Ward i believe got away off very lightly.On another subject you never really agreed with the decimation of the one off final like myself , this years GP series is not the top 16 riders in the world it should be but it is not what do you think?

For what it is worth - he should NOT receive a Wild Card for any of the 2015 GP Series either.

No - you are right, it isn't. However sidney, I honestly do not care enough about the GPs to worry about it. I know what I prefer(red) but you cannot go back unfortunately. Sadly.

If he does get a wild card, then that will be sanctioned by the FIM, But thats down to them, and not anybody on here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as he's served his time then yes, if he gets a wild card then so beit. But Darcy knows, if he should put one foot out of place, the FIM will bounce him from one side of the pits to the other.. But i don't think he will be so silly again...
