Starman2006 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 but its ok for Middlo to think and say that the things Darcy has done are fine. Darcy needs to get away from people who see no wrong in him But what is he supposed to say in the press, Darcys the biggest C--t going He may think that, but He has to be a little diplimatic..

Poole Quay 7 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Talking about how Darcy could benefit from a mentor - I remeber when Darcy was getting some advice on his starting technique from three-time World Champion Jason Crump around a couple of years ago, I really hoped he would listen and learn just how much discipline it requires to be a World Champion but unfortunately for him and the world of speedway, he chose another path. He has the undoubted ability to do it and there is still time for him to get his act together but I still have this nagging doubt the guy was made with a self destruct button within and he keeps pressing the button! Personally, I wish Jason would become more involved with his speedway career and give him the kick up the jacksy he needs to fulfil his wonderful natural ability on a speedway bike. It's up to you Darcy which way you take - Chump or Champ?.... I really hope it's Champ. Edited January 15, 2015 by Poole Quay 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hampshire3321 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sad old world isn't it, professional motor bike racers shouldn't want to drink alcohol the day before they put their and others lives at risk. They all know the risks involved with any motor sport. enough said. Im guessing you dont know "Graham Noyce" - 1979 world 500cc motocross champion then!?! He would regually be the last out of the beer tent the night before a GP - Those who know his background will also know many of the stories linked to the guy! Sadly he pissed his tallent up the wall - Could have gone on to be one of the greats but it wasnt to be! Lets hope Ward doesnt go down the same route! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 But what is he supposed to say in the press, Darcys the biggest C--t going He may think that, but He has to be a little diplimatic.. two extremes you quote there. no I wouldn't expect him to call him a c**t that's absurd. what I would expect Middlo to do is not come up with rubbish like 'its what kids do' or ' he was only a little bit over they should take that into account' Middlo should say 'Darcy has been a fool and its happened to frequently, as a club we will be there after whatever punishment he gets' Middlo does himself and Darcy no favours at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlo has said exactly that, so why not try to quote him accurately!!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of Gavan not knowing what he's talking about purely because he doesn't live in this area and see our local paper.. Yes but that's not quite the same as mentoring is it? He needs someone to sit down with him quietly and tell him what a pillock he is being and throwing it all away rather that being told how fantastic he is and condoning what he does. I get the impression Middlo worships the ground he walks on and if that is the case he will never successfully mentor him. It is a special talent and I don't think Middlo has that in him and it would be very difficult to do as his club team manager too. He needs someone he will respect that is not involved in Poole speedway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of Gavan not knowing what he's talking about purely because he doesn't live in this area and see our local paper.. You don't have to live in the area, all the daily echo articles are on line, so he has no excuses for slating Middlo on this occassion.

E I Addio Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 He does, clearly you've not read all the Daily Echo reports... But Muddlo did say in Speedway Star that "they've ruined two years of his career " . So according to Muddlo in those comments it not Darcy ruining his career it's the FIM. Muddlo would do wel to keep his trap shut on these occasions. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Sign Magic or Shamek and a decent second string and get on with it. Great to watch but a year out will do him good in the long run and hopefully we would then see him for the next 10-20 years as a model professional rather than an Artist !!!

Gavan Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ok so hands up maybe Middlo has said words condemning Ward I like many others still believe Middlo is not good for Darcy and i fell Ward would benefit from a move away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrotron Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 We should just sell Darcy he has been nothing but trouble since he arrived at Poole, we have plenty more riders on the books to dispense with his services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Middlo has said exactly that, so why not try to quote him accurately!!?Well he has said - amongst other things - the following. "I don't know the readings on the machine and I don't know the severity of what he did" " If Darcy is banned, he has a very good chance to appeal it" "The number of appeals Darcy could make is huge" "He deserves to be punished" " I don't think they should punish the kid anymore" " Darcy knows he did wrong and has been punished" " They've ruined two years of his career" Very little of which is helpful imo Edited January 16, 2015 by salty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
