robert72 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 you really need to get out more mate, what has this young lad done to make you so negative about everything he says or does? As far as I'm aware he behaves like a typical adrenaline junkie, but just a bit better at what he does than most. So he swore on TV, hardly murder or rape is it. Tai, some of us are proud of you, and thank you for all of your fundraising for underprivileged people. Tai has let down British speedway, I think he is a total embarrassment now and dropping him from team GB would be best for all. I think you will find a lot of people and families do fundraising, it's a lot easier for him to do but credit for that and credit on how good he is on a bike. I felt for lindback as tai didn't win but wanted the winners attention from the crowd, he is a bad loser and has done that a couple of times now, time he grew up.

You had the chance to speak to tai over the weekend and tell him what you thought. Guaranteed you never though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Robert you're really jealous of Tai's sucess in speedway arnt you, compared with your own?? Go on.... Admit it!! Takes a bigger man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Cant understand either backing Woffinden, or offering up various excuses, surely a World champion and professional sportsman shouldn't need to be told not to swear during an on camera interview. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, A world champion should behave with dignity. Clearly the word dignity is not in Tai Woffinden's dictionary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 It added nothing, showed him as lacking the ability to string a coherent sentence together without using swear words and frankly if that is the quality of a world champion who is obviously unable to conduct himself then it says it all about the lack of intellect and poor education he must have received. Tai I suggest you engage your brain before opening your mouth and think about the wider audience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai I suggest you engage your brain before opening your mouth and think about the wider audience. This is a Link I placed on here earlier. It's a 'Daily Star' article that Peter Oakes had with Tai Woffinden in which the latter makes some observations on his education. Perhaps they will enlighten you more about his background - the article certainly did that for me. http://www.dailystar...e-Tai-Woffinden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frigbo Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Let's face it - a fair proportion of modern day riders are hardly University Challenge material. The Speedway Star pen picture type articles were full of riders saying how they struggled at school. Probably explains why so many have no comprehension of how their conduct or attitude adversely impacts the sport in the UK.

Daniel Smith Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 You will now be under attack from the tai the perfect role model does no wrong brigade. I think you will find tai was not the nicest of school kids and was expelled Tai isn't a perfect role model and neither should he be. It's not his job to be a role model. We defend because he's constantly attacked & it's British mentality thing for some reason. Always love a loser but knock down winners Andy Murray Lewis Hamilton Tai Woffinden All 3 are born winners but are not liked by large numbers for varying reasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I don't think, nor want Tai to be a roll model, but I would like him to string a sentence together without using the kind of language we heard last night. Engage brain before mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 No it's not ..when did someone say it was ? some are calling for a fine or to be made an example of for some reason. I say some, I mean numpties. The biggest problem with all this is those who defend tai and he seems surrounded by them so he has no chance of being a better person. and you have no chance of not being a bigot. So you didn't.... Of course he didn't , a keyboard troll it is clear to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Hamilton is hugely liked around the world plus a nice person so disagree on that one plus not many people around the world would know who tai is but the other two are worldwide stars.

It would appear those in the stadium didn't hear it, those of us who watched on TV obviously did, re-inforced by overkill by BT. I'm sure those of us defending Tai, are not condoning his use of the swear word, just the over reaction of some on here who are using this to once again put the lad down. It's just darn crazy to want the best rider in the world to be sacked from the National team for a swear word!! Yep British mentality all over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzafl Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Robert72 your invite to question Tai is still on i promise he wont tell you to F**K off.. If he cuts ties with the UK you will all moan again.. all this for one word after a great performance in front of his home crowd.. none of you have had 10's of thousands of people shouting after you.. i bet its hard to keep anything in.. but you all think he did it on purpose so hang him..
