Gresham Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 As much as I like Tai as a rider Being expelled from school, having no qualifications, plus having your face and hands tattooed, along with large discs in his ears definitely doesn't set him out as a role model. .(plus his language) You've pretty much described many indigenous races and tribes around the world. He is a role model to children...in as much as he has proved you can be successful at something, regardless of your education or other abilities in life. I can't believe the dogs abuse this lad is getting. No body knows what's going on in his head. He's a young lad that had to suffer a year with his father dying of cancer. Can you imagine how traumatic that is....especially when you are that close. Many people deal with grief in different ways...drink, drugs, self harm, tattoo's, piercings are common with such like. Some are stronger and deal with it ok. Many Sportsman get to the top of their game and then make decisions on how they can stay at the top. Many footballers leave these shores and ply their trade abroad. It pays better often and in some cases you have better competition. Tai Woffinden owes nobody nothing. What is apparent...is there is a very small minority of bigoted close minded old folk on here, who don't like Tai because he's 'different'. The fact is...he has tattoo's, piercings and swears and holes in his ears...Get over it. It's not conventional...but it is in other parts of the world. The fact you think you cannot call him a role model, because of that, is the most distasteful thing I've heard on here in a long time. Some people need a long hard look in the mirror...some of you have become bigots, because someone doesn't conform to how you like people to act and look. Disgraceful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 So if your correct then there will not be a British final in years to come and all the kids will look like dumbo covered in tattoos with no education behind them hoping they can ride a bike as good as there role model. This is a big part of the reason tai ahould not be selected for team GB Yes of course, because every kid that makes it to Tai's level will ditch Britain and we will have GP's with all British riders Missing the point as always and attacking someone for the way they look. Bigot. Tai is the only certainty in team GB and rightly so. It would be like USA riding the World Cup without Greg, not a chance and an embarrassment. But then your stance on Tai is an embarrassment.

Terry Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I recall real Glastonbuty legends like The Andrews Sisters, Benny Coogan, Dame Vera Linn and Nat 'King' Cole performing to audiences of well over 2 million when the festival was held at Hackney marshes during the immediate post war years. NONE of these true giants of the stage felt the need to resort to foul language. Exactly. Just a spot of crowd-surfing from the Andrews sisters and Dame Vera biting the head off a chicken..

speedibee Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Many footballers leave these shores and ply their trade abroad. And the clubs they played for in their formative years see a massive cash benefit from their transfer fees . well worth taking a risk on an unknown quantity . if 5 years on you get £100.000.000 for your trouble , what did British speedway get from Woffinden ? absolutely nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkafag Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Comparing the situation of Woffiden and the return to British Speedway to that of a player being sold by an English Football team, is, well, well I don’t know if it’s hilarious or utterly ridiculous, it is one or the other. I pity those are anti Woffinden the desperation is just sad, it is tragic to read grown men acting this way, mentioning things like appearance, tattoos and returns to British Speedway.

It’s like you sort of know what you want to say but don't actually say anything "you and the others on this thread who appear to have the problem" that's just a platitude, words for the sake of words, such a nothing statement….I am curios now, what problem do I have and what do I qualify as? What exact specific problem? Grand job by the way, despite not wanting to involve yourself in this thread, you have managed it…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
