Trees Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) You lot must hate Adele! How old is Tai? 25. What is Adele's latest album called? 25. Coincidence? I think not!!! I don't think anyone at Cardiff even heard his potty mouth anyway, but saying stuff like that is actually pretty standard these days at large public events. BUT doesn't make it right! Same with modern day comedians who think every tale or joke they tell has to have the f word in, it's sad and lacking class.

Dame with modern day comedians who think every tale or joke they tell has to have the f word in, it's sad and lacking class. I didn't say it was right. Just that's the way it is nowadays.

22A Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Iversen swears on live TV, Pedersen is worse, kildemand even worse. It's like it's sommat new. Haters gotta hate. If Tai did it on purpose then no excuse is good enough. If said in the heat of the moment, still wrong but understandable. I remember Gollob being asked by "Charlie in the pits" what the track was like. "That track? It is beep, it is beeping beep"! That went out live and the Sky commentators apologised on his behalf to the viewers and it was seemingly accepted as a heat of the moment thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Of course it isn't, oh dear....... that's what everyone is saying, understandable straight after a decision has gone against you or whatever but not in an interview on the podium. Oh I see, a rider swearing on the podium (he wasn't on the podium it was on the centre green) that is full of adrenaline after a 2nd place final finish at your own countries GP is different to a rider full of adrenaline after an incident. Nice logic that holds no water however. If Tai did it on purpose then no excuse is good enough. If said in the heat of the moment, still wrong but understandable. I remember Gollob being asked by "Charlie in the pits" what the track was like. "That track? It is beep, it is beeping beep"! That went out live and the Sky commentators apologised on his behalf to the viewers and it was seemingly accepted as a heat of the moment thing. Exactly they are all heat of the moment comments. None is worse than any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Stevebrum, with your love for Woffy, were you one of the people who brought his British final trophies when he showed no respect for the meeting that most Brits would love to win and sold them on eBay? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 This 'Daily Star' interview published a while back gives an interesting look at Tai Woffinden and his viewpoint: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/motorsport/451717/EXCLUSIVE-hadn-t-made-speedway-have-been-brickie-Tai-Woffinden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Star Lady Posted July 10, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I tend to view people like this way. If he were my son would I be proud of him? The answer is yes very proud of his achievements but absolutely disgusted by his behaviour. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpandroid Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) All sports have people that swear on camera, they swear for different reasons. I don't know why Woffy does it, I believe he doesn't care if people don't like it, but it won't do him any favours. Lindback was awesome.

orion Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 And when riders like Pedersen, Kikdemand, Iversen and Doyle swear often, that's right I take it? No it's not ..when did someone say it was ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Central Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'd worry what they put in that Monster Muck he drinks. He seemed like a hyperactive six year old for most of the time. Lets hope it's just Tartrazine. Or a sugar rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E I Addio Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 All sports have people that swear on camera, they swear for different reasons. . I struggle to think of any that use extreme expletives when they are in a direct interview, especially when it is at one of the Blue Riband events of his or her sport. No doubt someone will say it has happened, but it's certainly not commonplace. It's a shame it happened at an event when Speedwáy would be being viewed by casual viewers than probably any other Speedwáy broadcast this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I can understand words said in the heat of the moment But is there really any need for him to swear down the microphone at the biggest event in British Speedway I'm no prude, I've worked in environments when every other word is a swear word, but speedway is a family sport I am losing respect for our world champion more and more, I was watching that with my kids Mate he's become an arrogant person, because of his standing. Yes he needs to be totally professional at all times, he's in the public eye. But im affraid its all gone to his head, or his tattoos.

tyretrax Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Swearing has become part of some peoples every day speak. They don't even know they are doing it & don't remember saying it. I work with someone who starts every sentence with F**king.Just doesn't know he's doing it. Woffinden does need to be told & try to stop it. I worked with a guy who was known as F**ing Wullie.
