screm Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'd have him in my team. As long as he didn't greet about the track every 5 seconds. Looks like he has done the same about Sheffield yesterday. He can keep blaming tracks for not taking his talent to the next level. As long as he scores the points he can greet as much as he wants, agree about moving to the next level, he needs to move EL full time and pick up contracts abroad. He signed for Stal Gorzow in Poland but hasn't been used, and when you see the riders he is competing with you can understand why, maybe he would be better looking at one of the lower leagues in Poland and get a regular place in the team each Sunday, where even there the standard in at least as good and possibly better than our PL but from what Cook has said he will double up again next year.

barrow boy Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Some folk are jealous of cook and are always trying to put him down. Cookies quality, superb rider deal with it. Isn't it time though that he concentrated full time on competing with the big boys. After all he is a top 3 British rider, a World Cup competitor and has ridden in 2 GPs. He is also in my top 10 Elite riders on current form doing better than the likes of Harris, Lindgren, Batchelor & Nicholls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Folf like you are the reason your club won't be running next season. Bit harsh Mr B gloating on the fact a club may close because his opinion differs from your's. He is entitled as much as the next person to form his opinion of Cook. I couldn't care less what Cook does or doesn't do as he rides for another team apart from mine, but to say that club may close because off fan's like him is just plain wrong. For the record I and many other true speedway fan's hope Berwick do not close and I respect there opinions might not alway's agree with them but respect them all the same you should do similar Mr B. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Im not a fan of Cook the person nor of some of his clubs fans but this thread is pointless. Cook (Stead apart) is the best in the premier his riding ability isnt under question. He made a mistake in the final thats racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what separates the men from the boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what separates the men from the boys. you have a serious chip on your shoulder. Im by no means Cooks biggest fan but you are talking a load of old bull. Of course the top riders make mistakes in finals. One of the greatest riders of all time Hans Neilsen mad a huge error in the first turn of the very first gp in Poland. Cook messed up the final its that simple. How many times have we seen riders storm their heats and mess up in finals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone makes mistakes, even the very top riders - Ivan Mauger openly admits he made a mistake in his 1973 world final run off, when he could have waited to try his passing move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by our great fountain of knowledge that puts Ivan Mauger with the boys and not the men. Most if not all of the top riders, from Mauger to Rickardsson from Nielsen to Hancock, have made mistakes in big races, its part of racing.

sparkafag Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 It’s probably fair to say he is a bit of a bottle merchant when it comes to the PLRC, he was very fortuitous to win the one he did given Doyle had it won before Bach lifted. I say all this because I am jealous and a hater though of course, it isn’t just because I observe Cook to be a talented rider, but a bit of a flat track bully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will say that in the record books will it, if that were the case it would be full of would've could've should`ve, for virtually every PLRC down through the years. Cook is as good as there is at PL level, what he`s like as a person I wouldn't know but he does the business on track and that is what counts most, but it would appear some fans (Berwick in particular) either don't see it or don't want to see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said it would? It was a passing commentary on the PLRC event, it is what forums are for. I haven’t read a Berwick fan say he is a bad speedway rider, not once actually. The general trend is good rider, but a bit of a tosser...the Berwick fans who you reference are myhtical fragments of your imagination. Almost attempting to position Berwick fans in a bad light for no apparent reason and with no supporting evidence, that is odd behaviour.

Cook knows he can wind up the Berwick fans, and does so very successfully. It's just that they havn't been able to work out yet that he is just winding them up.

Positive Thinker Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 The tragedy of the Berwick situation is the continuing disparagement (by a select few) of efforts to keep the club going. People, this is serious. I want to be positive in every way about the continuation of racing at Shielfield Park, and I pray even those who feel they have axes to grind can unite with the majority to achieve this continuation.
