Darcy Ward

[waiheke1]

He was guessing, as in taking the P, just like his avatar. Ive got nothing to apologies for.

 

to paraphrase my favourite line, from the greatest TV series ever made (The Wire)

 

"a less enlightened man than myself, a cruder man than myself, .. a man like that, not me, but a man like that, might just call you a C..."

[jacksback]

"64. Mr Ward further claimed that his normal alcohol consumption in Australia was limited to a couple of drinks on Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays. He had never been involved in any incidents involving alcohol when riding a motorcycle or driving a car."

Isn''t that perjury?

No conviction was recorded

[Ghostwalker]

No conviction was recorded

 

...but the incident still happened

...but the incident still happened

So you know what actually happened? Or only what you read in the media?

According to this was convicted and issued an apology...?

I love how Ward fans like to re-write history. "wasn't drunk", "incident didn't happen", "she asked to go back to the room for a Vodka"

It was a triple, apparently!!

One of the points I don't think has been mentioned is that based on what we now know Muddlo's public rantings on the procedure seem even worse than we previously thought.

 

We had weeks of Muddllo bleating in Speedwáy Star claiming he didn't know what was going and that Ward was suffering by the delay, not to mention his foul mouthed utterances on Twitter., but we now know that as early as 3rd September 2014 Muddlo had written a statement on behalf of Ward,, jfor submission to the FIM, and Ford had written one the day before, (presumably Ford wrote his statement first so Muddlo o knew what he was supposed to say in his own statement). Mark Lemon also wrote a statement.

 

So we now know Muddlo and Ford had some contact with Wards lawyers , even though Muddlo claimed in SS he didn't know what was going on. When Muddlo wrote has statement he and Ford would be working out their 2015 team. Having had that initial contact to do the statements are we to believe Muddlo had absolutely no idea what was happening, as he kept claiming week after week in his SS comments,

 

Interestingly , it seems the promoters and officials of Wards Swedish and Polish clubs declined to get involved as there were no statements submitted from them. Ford submitted a statement or testimonial of some kind but didn't go public about it, but Muddlo , idiot t that he is kept telling us he knew nothing when clearly he had enough contact to know something. The man is more than a fool , he iseems to be a devious one as well..

 

Am I looking at it the wrong way or is Muddlo a disgrace to the sport?

Darcy's Swedish team manager have several times made statements to the local press complaining about FIM (for delaying the matter)

and Svemo (for following their own rules). A few weeks ago he complained that Darcy's average would be re-calculated since Darcy's scores

from the Elitserien meeting he rode between the Latvian GP and when he got provisionally suspended.

 

Darcy at the time had the right to be in that meeting but that also meant that if he were convicted the Darcy's score would be wiped

in that meeting according to the rules. Now Stefan Andersson complains about that because that means that Darcy's average will be

slightly higher which mean that lineup Stefan Andersson had intended to use no longer fit under the average cap. As we say in Sweden "long nose" Stefan.

So Andersson is trying to blame someone else for his own mistakes.

 

Anyway perhaps we can Middlo, Ford and Ando to Hollywood, they'd make a perfect cast for a re-boot of "Grumpy old men".

Do you really need to ask?

[Grand Central]

Ghostwalker has raised once again the point about the expunging of Darcy's points from the matches he rodeafter Latvia.

 

Has anyone heard of the SCB's action in this regard.

Now that the FIM have given full detailed and reasoning for that decision.

 

Some journos and even Graham Reeve seemed to have difficult in understanding this part of the FIM code earlier in the year.

I wonder if that has changed.

[Ghostwalker]

GC, as I have said before, Darcy have appealed that part about his results being wiped so perhaps SCB is waiting for that?

Not that I think that Darcy will be successful with the appeal though.

When you say that 'Darcy has appealed' ... Do you really mean that?

I cannot say I have seen anything at all from the Ward camp that would indicate HE has done that, himself.

The odd line in The Star, at least.

 

Considering the costs he had just got stuck with for the original case that seems an awful lot of expense for him to go to.

When the determination looked sound.

 

Kerrching! For the lawyers.

If he has.

He just reads the media.

[BWitcher]

He just reads the media.

 

Whereas as you listen to what a drunk liar tells you and takes it as gospel, throw abuse at people who dare to question the drunk liar and when the drunk liar is proven to be just that, a drunk liar, refuse to act like a civil human being and admit you were wrong.

[Ghostwalker]

GC see this quote:

 

 

– Det kan jag inte prata med dig om. Han har mottagit den officiella domen från FIM. Avstängningen är till den 27 juni men huruvida hans poäng från matcherna efter avstängningen kommer att strykas är fortfarande oklart.

– Vi vill inte att det ska bli så. Vi har överklagat så vi får se vad som händer. Det är för tidigt att säga nu, men vi jobbar för att det inte ska bli så, säger Ward.

It is regarding to that his points will be wiped from that meeting he rode.

 

Again he again blames FIM for the delay, saying that they have done things right and that he doubts that some of things have happened. Then the quoted parts says

 

 

-I cant talk to you about that (when asked about how he looks upon getting caught being drunk) during a GP. The suspension expires on June 27th but whether or not his points

from the meetings after the suspension (they mean the meetings he rode after the Latvian GP but before being suspended) is still unclear,.

-We don't want it to become like that. We have appealed so we'll see what happens. It's too early to say at the moment, but we are working to make sure that it won't be like that, Ward says.

Thanks Ghostwalker.

I suppose we must take that at face value.

 

Of course I have no idea how authoritative this Swedish source is.

But reports in the English press last year from a supposedly trusted journalist caused a whole load of debate about an 'off duty Policeman' and turned out to be utter tripe.

So who can tell?

 

I notice that this report appears to directly quote Ward himself.

So at least we have the word of a man we can all trust.

[Ghostwalker]

GC, yes it was from an interview with Darcy and Darcy himself said that they have appealed but only the part with the points if I understood the article correctly.

[SteveLyric2]

We'll just have to see what average he returns on as to whether any action has been taken?

[screm]

Cant believe that this thread is still so prominent, Ward is not far off from making his racing return, hopefully he will do all his talking on the track from now on.
