foamfence Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 what a very sad and bitter post!! Let's be fair Poole had a rider in their team who was an amazing talent. Who did drugs, ran away from Cops, got involved in fights, another unproved allegation, and basically was the worst role model for anyone watching speedway oh and he swore all the time to. But hey he rode for Poole so that's all ok!! Tai would give loads back to British speedway but isn't exactly helped. But you know what the guy has tattoos so we better slag him off! People shouldn't slag him off personally but if he wants to make a difference to the youth setup, I don't see why he can't join in with the existing lot (as some other riders have done) and help that way, they might be more likely to take his ideas on board then, rather than just wanting to replace them with his own regime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Is it ? well I'll read no more then , if i had known that this thread cloaked in a title alluding to a massive speedway project ,was about Tai's kid ,I wouldn't have read it in the first place . I seriously thought it was about another load of Woffindens empty promises to be the tail that wagged the British speedway dog , I feel abused having been duped , maybe the O.P could change the title to something more suitable like, Woffindens girlfriend is having a kid ,why would anybody give a Shyt ? Perhaps you could ask him why ,he rode here in September and October after the money dried up in Poland and Sweden , you mean after his team has finished their season and he was still chasing the world title? How dare he try and keep himself racing and earning money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 There are even more at great ormond street grateful to Jimmy Saville . in Savilles case we are talking Millions of pounds not a few thousands .so I assume that Savilles misdoings are are OK with you then . I think we know why that sick c**t raised all that money??!! So he could have access for his heinous crimes, what a ludicrous and cruel comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 So does he want to teach the youngsters?...........He wanted to help youngsters, it's the BSPA who didn't want him to. To get themselves plastered in tatooes?...............They don't need Tai for that. To use expletives when speaking live on TV?..........Happens all the time on live sport, not just when Tai is being interviewed To show how to treat British Speedway league by thumbing his nose at it?...... again this happens all over the world, sports people ply their trade with whoever pays them the most To show contempt for British speedway fans by refusing to ride in the British Championships?......No excuses here To show further contempt by refusing to ride for TeamGB in the SWC?........... ditto above, personally I think Tai shouldn't of thrown his toys out here. The guy hasn't got anything to offer British youngsters other than how not to do it. Sure hes a great rider on a bike but it ends right there. Disagree again, lots of young riders coming through will hope to be as good as Tai, what better than be coached to a degree by him. Neil Vatcher is doing a great job, young lads are progressing and We are starting to see young talent come through. No need whatsoever for Woffinden to be involved in anything to do with the sport in this country. The guy's made himself a pariah so why on earth would British speedway bother to do anything in return? Lets hope he finishes the job as good as he started it. Its a real shame that a British world champion has snubbed his nose at Great Britain. But you reap what you sew. You can't blame speedway riders for wanting to ride where the money is. Get over it.

robert72 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 you mean after his team has finished their season and he was still chasing the world title? How dare he try and keep himself racing and earning money So tai is happy to ride in British speedway when it's on his terms, That's why he is becoming so disliked with many British fans.

IronScorpion Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Reading Craig Cooks interview in the SGP website he says he's had several call from Poland -including the top league but won't give up his Brotish commitments for it- which a lot of people have been screaming at him for years for not doing- dammned if you dammed if you don't in this sport these days! Once bitten, twice shy! Probably earn more money doing Premiership & Championship than taking a risk & getting a squad place but hardly any meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 So tai is happy to ride in British speedway when it's on his terms, That's why he is becoming so disliked with many British fans. In 1995 Hans Nielsen binned British Speedway as he no longer needed it and since then pretty much every top rider has either had a season or two away or completely stopped bothering with it all together. I can understand your frustration at Tai not wanting to ride in the UK but its the norm now. Singling him out just seems ridiculous to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Gotta laugh at the Tai haters on here so so clueless and using the way the guy looks to run him down. Ignore Robert72 as he is full of crap as he reckons he once rode himself lol. The reasons Tai didn't ride in the British Final was obvious yet some fools still believe he just 'pulled out'. And why on earth would he ride here???? So why he's not riding this year then . In 1995 Hans Nielsen binned British Speedway as he no longer needed it and since then pretty much every top rider has either had a season or two away or completely stopped bothering with it all together. I can understand your frustration at Tai not wanting to ride in the UK but its the norm now. Singling him out just seems ridiculous to me. He single out before he's not riding in his own league that is pretty clear ...rather than saying what top riders miss our league what other top riders missed there own league ?

Apples and Oranges. Having to commit to the Danish league which is Wednesday nights (not even every Wednesday night) to any night that the BSPA decides to put a fixture is completely different. The point I'm making is that ALL top riders use leagues as they please. We had to monopoly with league speedway & ran it into the ground. I will respectfully agree to disagree with you and this one Boss but I can't believe many people would choose to ride for less pay, on worse tracks, in front of smaller crowds. Why on earth would ANYONE do that?!! Simple logic no? Edited May 10, 2017 by RPNYC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 The question being asked what other riders missed there own league ? Irrelevant when the other leagues are on fixed nights with a light schedule. If I was in Tai's position I wouldn't be racing in the UK either.. and I would say 99% of those moaning would be the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 avbsobloodylutely not . sod Tai woffinden BSPA wont bow to his demands so he spits the dummy and wont ride for GB , good riddance ,who needs him to train the next generation to be scruffy selfish bigheaded tramps What a vile bigoted poster you are with a comment like that. Anyone who thinks tai should be involved in helping British youngsters are off their rocker. Tai is a liability to youngsters and it's clear he doesn't care about British speedway or British fans. wonder why all youngsters want to be the next Woffy? Youngsters aspire to be as good as Tai. Darcy for all his faults, never turned his back on British speedway. And for an Aussie he gave his all for the EL. Woffinden as a Brit, has shown utter distain for British speedway, at league and international level. Why should we, as fans of British speedway both at club level and at country level, offer support to someone who refuses to ride at either level? His support is down to a few hardcore Fans at GP level and the Wolverhampton fanbase. Most see him as someone who used the British system then cleared off. Good riddance imo. Darcy was equally as selfish about riding here than anyone else. He gave nothing back to the EL, nor should he be expected to. Let's see who gets the biggest cheer at Cardiff then yet again which will yet again disprove your theory he only has hardcore fans now. It gave me a little chuckle anyway. Holder and KK aren't British, Nichols and Richardson did actually ride here and both had a longer history of representing us in SWC events. They also both have a long history of saying no to the SWC. Coincidence maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I couldn't be bothered reading this thread after this post, the 3rd post, as it was a criticism. Why do we continually get on the back of Woffy ? Pathetic. If someone says they are going to run training schools and then doesn't then clearly they are going to get criticised for it, whether that happens to be Woffinden, an average rider or a terrible rider it makes no difference. I'm not a Tai hater, as a British rider I want him to do well in the GP's and whilst I don't agree with it I don't have a problem with him not riding in this country and missing the British Final and World Cup if that's his choice. But it's utterly ridiculous to then want to ride for GB in some tinpot World Games that nobody has ever heard of and will just be a Testimonial type meeting. To be fair the BSPA are also to blame for asking him in the first place and then saying he's not in the squad, but when he starts dictating about who he wants to be paired with him you can see why. What's the point in having Rossiter as manager if he wants to take over everything and do things his way? I'm guessing he doesn't think much of Rossiter given the thinly veiled dig at him in the kebab article a few months ago but lets not forget that one of the reasons he got the job over Phil Morris was because Tai recommended him.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably earn more money doing Premiership & Championship than taking a risk & getting a squad place but hardly any meetings. Which I totally agree with, be interesting to see if he makes the qualifier and doesn't qualify how much stick he gets for not taking the experience when getting the second/third chance (presuming he doesn't of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops you can't as it's the same old stevebrum making things up. lets hope future British riders don't follow him and desert their home country.
