iris123 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hancock/ Holder are poor examples as the people i know most of those always rated those two both were different eras to Lee and as a gage of talent Lee would be the worst example for anybody to judge themselves against. Ok Sid think this over very slowly then........Risager is also from a different era to Lee,but you are trying to compare them.Not me,not anyone else,but YOU!!!!

iris123 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) you only have to look at England U18 football squads from the past and see how many are now non league players That is so true.There was the blonde kid who at a very young age was being trained by Ajax and then only made it to non league level.I also remember at Millwall we had a kid,Cherno Samba I think his name was who was being lined up for a million quid transfer by Liverpool at the age of 14 and I don't recall him ever making it.Sid won't believe it though  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherno_Samba Edited March 13, 2015 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Quite simply Sidney, in EVERY SINGLE debate I have ever had with you, I have known it. You create fiction from fact, tie yourself in knots and eventually simply hurl abuse. Â The reality is Sidney, it doesn't matter what your book says, what you think to be the case, in almost every debate, history has already spoken and shown that you are wrong. This is another classic example. Edited March 13, 2015 by BWitcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Same old, you need to come up with some new material. Â There's no shame in forgetting things, I do it all the time. However, when you have a number of people remind you of something, in this case Risager, plus link you to articles backing the subject up, the adult thing to do it hold your hands up and say fair play, I didn't recall him being so touted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser McHuge Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Michael Lee at 16 was just before my time...I saw him at 18 and he was some some talent..I imagine possibly the best 16 year old.. Â I saw some good 16 year olds...Mark Loram I saw in the junior league at 16 and he was good....Andy Smith at Belle Vue was very exciting at 16 but the worst gater ever at that age...Havelock I saw.......but the best 16 year old I ever saw , and still is , was Joe Screen....I'd known about him for a while as he had the same sponsor as my brother in law so it was basically a countdown to when he was 16....10 pts from 12 on his debut and the track craft of an international rider ....a couple of weeks later he was passing Sam Ermolenko from the back....amazing talent... I actually think Screen underachieved at world level for his talent but at 16 he was the best by fat that I've ever seen......I've only seen Lambert on TV and he looks a good prospect , very up and down but that's expected but he has a really good chance of doing really well I think with the right backing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob has improved his fitness and changed his eating habits over the close season so let's watch him fly this year ☺He will do well good luck to the lad i think he will have a good season,i would love a seven plus average at Lynn he is well capable his gating does worry me a big talent no doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 A poor example have a rethink ? you yourself do you rate Lambert or not? forget the stats and figures and age Risager was not in the same league at the same stage. Perfectly reasonable example is Risager. Im sure Sidney could start a fight in a room on his own! Â Justin Elkins, Ben Howe , 2 more examples of riders who didnt go forward. Mark Loram was riding British league at 16 and i think averaged 4.5 from reserve. Â All depends if Lambert wants it enough or in 2 - 3 years could be another David Howe or Simon Stead. Good riders short of top class I would not put Lambert at Lee and Wards level (ie) those two have to be the most talented riders ever?.Lambert though is a talent when i have seen him his gating is very poor but he is rounded a very good rider indeed a thinking rider one ride this year he produced at Lakeside this year was awesome. you forget Mark Loram. the most talented rider ive ever seen and safe as well I never ever heard from anybody that Risager was that highly rated,?certainly not in the league of NIelsen,Gundo,Knudsen. im not sure then that you have ever read about speedway properly. Â Risager was always dubbed the 'new Nielsen' and at 16 was probably ahead of Nielsen and Gundersen at that age, Â Very selective memory you have No i just went by my own opinion, and are you seriously telling me Risager was EVER rated as highly as the three i named and believe me IRis i think my memory will be always be able to compete with you not a problem. Yes he was try reading what people are telling you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
