BWitcher Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm not part of that vast (according to you ) majority nor is anybody else I know who follows speedway . I would much rather see a team comprised of riders who didn't choose to be British out of convenience , and still showing their loyalty to British speedway where they learned their trade He learned his trade in Australia.

Guest Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Bomber,Tai,Danny,Craig with lambertl as reserve. As everyone knows I would leave tai out for missing the British final but nobody is strong enough to stand up and say what's right,if it was another GB rider then there would be calls to leave them out. Danny was British champ so deserves his place like the first 2 are GP riders, think cook could step up and be a hero. No place for Nichols but had tai,bomber or cook won the British final then I would of put in steve Worrall in instead of king Wow 100 pages, just goes to show R72 can keep people debating At least one objective has been achieved in this ongoing thread...! Jeez, is this topic still boring on? Well of course it is, lead by the one man hate band Robert72. Still he has all the attention he craves as people feed it's nonsense. of course Tai will be leading GB and get huge support at Cardiff. He is a popular and well loved world champion. WOFFY WOFFY WOFFY. Not everywhere and everyone from what I have seen according to some Posts in this lengthy but interesting thread.

robert72 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 He learned his trade in Australia. He didn't learn it very well in Austrailia as he started off in the bottom league in the uk,most Aussies start a lot higher. So after all that he really learnt his trade in Britain and then deserted British speedway as he no longer needed it or the British fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 How many times to some people need it drumming into their heads that Tai Woffinden is British before it actually sinks in? Unbelievable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any implication in robert72's comment that Tai Woffinden is an Australian, rather I view it as comparing him and his progress as against that demonstrated by Australian youngsters.

Think it is just showing ignorance.All Aussies that come over at the age Tai did start at the same level as Tai did.So what is the point of a comparison?

robert72 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) "most Aussies start a lot higher" Obvious implication, otherwise why mention "Aussie"? Other than tai then nearly all learning their trade in Australia are Australian as I said, nothing there saying tai is an Aussie even if he does sing the Aussie anthem with pride.

Where is his heart, think the tattoo shows the answer and his actions. he lived there for 15 years.. think a part of his heart will always be there.. i think its very short minded to think he will forget it bearing in mind they sing it in the schools over there all the time.. and you know what i dont even know the words to our national anthem.. so i wouldnt sing it either.. and we dont sing it in our schools over here.. and so what if he has a tattoo of the australian flag on him.. he wear the british flag where everyone can see it.. everytime he rides for us in a GP and holds our flag for the GP press.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
