Starman2006 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) I will not introduce myself to you as I like to have adult and sensible conversation and that's something which, going by the evidence on here you're, incapable of doing. I also walk past you at the stadium entrance where you try to flog your mag...the same thing applies. Try it sometime, you might just like it. But i won't be holding my breath. I really doubt going on your posts you are capable of having the same. You do come across as a very nasty and aggresive person.

Nobody has too, if you want something accepted, you have to prove it, that's how life works. Anyway, I believe you were a rider, I actually raced you 27 times, won every time. Did a 360 on the 1st bend once after a hard shunt, stayed on, and caught you by lap three. Edited September 23, 2016 by BWitcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyderd Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) I always stuck up for Tai on threads on social media about where his loyalties lie (Australian or British), and argued tooth and nail that his loyalties are British, that is until this years Australian GP.My brother and I saved up hard to go to this years Aussie GP, at the time we decided to go we were hoping that at the last GP Tai would be crowned WC, that of course wouldn't of happened as he dropped out of the running before the Aussie round.My main point for this post though is that at the Aussie GP, Tai showed me and other British fans there the true Tai Woffinden. Every time his name was mentioned in the heats he was in, the Aussie announcers referred to him as an Aussie, if Tai truly thought of himself as British/English he or one of his pit crew should/would of corrected the stadium commentators, they didn't and I left the stadium convinced Tai thinks of himself as an Aussie.That's fine by me but he should man up and admit his feeling are Aussie and not British,and stop pussy footing around.1 Do I like him as a person/speedway racer.......................NO, not now.2 Would I still pay to watch him race......................................YES.

I have no opinion on him, other than being disappointed that he wont be representing GB but isn't your reaction a bit delayed?

He thinks of himself as both. I think that's pretty clear and totally understandable. I have kids of dual nationality and they are happy to be seen as both so why wouldn't Tai? I'm sure his issue with TeamGB isn't because of the British/Aussie thing but more to do with how British speedway is run - the same as has happened with top riders and GB mangers in the past. I accept he is a bit of a "marmite" rider, but I don't think the fact he has 2 countries should stand against him. That, after all, was down to his parents rather than him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney the robin Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I like Tai respect him he is a great rider ( only if he keeps working hard the younger brigade are catching up) but not to long ago he was not to professional himself was he ? .

Speedway28 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I believe that Tai has done wrong by not riding in the British Final last year but I don't believe he has done anything wrong by quitting Team GB. With regards to the British Final, I can see why he pulled out due to the scheduling but I'm sure there was a way he could've fitted it in. I fully understand why he has no intention of riding for Team GB again. The professionalism is clearly nowhere near the required standard to win the title and let's face it, GB only got silver last year due to how well he rode and a little bit of luck. I'd actually quite like to see him go and ride for Australia, could be some great finals between Oz and Poland if that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rider should be prepared to commit to his national side, it should be an honour. That goes for the others who declined. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hes got a point though Hang on a minute. So, you're saying Rosco can't go on holiday and have a bit of fun in the off season? The season finished 2 months ago, the AGM finished a month ago, team building since plus the added worries of a stadium etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
