Should Tai Woffinden Ride For Team Gb ?


Recommended Posts

Should British speedway turn its back on Tai riding for Team GB after he turned his back on British speedway this year.

 

 

I would like to see him left out of the pairs,the world cup and the British final until he puts British speedway first again.

 

 

Anyone else agree or do you think he should ride ?

You are wrong.

 

He should be able to ride for GB and in the Elite League if he wishes. It's up to him where he works as an individual and he does plenty for GB speedway. He has given scheduling reasons and poorly prepared tracks as valid reasons.

 

Why doesn;t GB speedway get its act in order and race on one night. We might get plenty of top riders coming back that way.

HE'S wearing an England shirt in Horsens today ... and please don't say that only because Australia are not in the Euros!

Didn't he wear an Aussie shirt when watching the Eurovision Song contest ? Wonder how many will think I am being serious.

I don't think that is an issue Phil it's the fact he is not riding in the British final and refuses to sing the British anthem but sings the Australian one.

 

Tai is like marmite to British Fans but he also hasn't done himself any favours by snubbing the British final.

I'm awaiting your proof (I.e. Posts quoting) that people hate Tai.

 

You seem to think everyone has to provide facts so it seems only fair you provide it too.

Being English, I don't give a damn if he sings the national anthem or not as long as he respects it. I do care that he doesn't even give racing in our country a thought now ....

I think that tonight's staged managed wearing of an England shirt by Mr Woffinden shows that
a: He is aware of the negative publicity which not riding in the British Final has brought and

b: It probably does bother him .

Glad he did not go the whole hog and kiss the badge

Tai rather than wearing an England shirt to show you are English .Just ride in the BRITISH FINAL every year,that works a lot better.

Yes Gavan (family friend of mark loram) where is your proof that people hate tai ?

 

You keep wanting proof and as someone gave proof of what I said on another thread was true you failed to even apologize or comment on it as you knew I was right.

 

So as SL said please provide proof who hates tai ?

It's clearly getting to tai by wearing a retro England shirt and by making a big deal about it but sadly it means nothing to him NOT riding in England to defend his National title or riding in England for Wheelchair bound riders.

 

Tai needs to make a statement saying he is really sorry to the British riders and the fans for disrespecting the British Final and he will make a donation to the Ben fund, that would give him some respect back as a person and be good PR for him.

So you cannot provide proof then.

 

As an ex rider I doubt Robert72 hates anyone who swings a leg over a speedway bike, I certainly don't and I doubt anyone else does. Just because someone doesn't approve of the actions of someone doesn't mean they hate them.

 

If you think it's so funny asking for proof of statements, maybe you won't be doing it in the future.

That's where you are lacking intelligence I don't hate tai, I am frustrated that he doesn't make better decisions and the fact he has a lot of yes people around him doesn't help.

 

I was a big fan of Greg, known him personally for years, now I just don't like watching him off track since his huge monster deal,a 46 year old man acting like a 17 year old.

 

Darcy, I don't hate him, another one who was surrounded by the wrong people,fundraising for a rider who earnt a million plus a year when a young Brit lives at home with his parents after a crash is wrong and that was my gripe not hatred of Darcy and his talent.

 

As SL correctly said I have total respect of everyone who races a speedway bike and your constant drivel that I hate tai is wrong and again you have No Proof to back your claim up.

 

 

 

 

Ps Do you have permission to use that picture of Lilly savage ?

Some national events are part of a rider receiving his national licence yearly.

 

Denmark and Poland are the 2 that spring to mind. If they do not ride their licences could be revoked. Not sure if Sweden is the same?

 

Australia and the UK doesn't make it mandatory. The Aussies have riders missing it regularly, the UK has had riders missing it occasionally through it's history. It's always been that way and only the ACU / BSPA can change that.

 

Regarding the England shirt, another situation where Woffinden was in a no win position. His Tweet was spot on and proved accurate. Wasps are being chewed vigorously by some
