Bavarian Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 There was something recently on the internet in Germany. A poll asked people in Bavaria if they were in favour of independence from Germany.33% said they were.What the other 67% said couldn't be understood I sort of felt like that one day in the Inzell press room,when they were giving out instructions to the people working at the stadium.Could understand one word in every 6 or 7..... Funny But in truth, there are now so many non-Bavarain folk living in our beautiful Freestate, that we "real" Bavarians won't ever get a majority to break away from the rest of Germany. Our position is quite similar to Scotland wanting to break away from England but unable to get a majority vote for that because there are already too many non-Scots living there and unwilling to vote for Independance. Not sure why Bavarians would come across as arrogant in any way? Never heard that before! Mostly it's the Prussians that are arrogant towards the Bavarians. We are much closer related with the Austrians, who speak the same language as we do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Günther Bauer is pretty much the same Edited September 10, 2017 by iris123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Got to laugh at Smolis comments on Facebook after Landshut beat Brokstedt in the Bundesliga Final!! You would almost think he has won something important Sort of along the lines of....1/3 of the points in the final were scored by Martin Smolinski for the team.For years the Bundesliga title goes to Martin Smolinski and his team.It is amazing at what level i ride and as captain how he(?) leads his team.Since 2005 i have always appeared in the Bundesliga Final Some of the comments are great though How can someone build themselves up so much?Apart from 2 or 3 meetings this year,the season has been one to forget for #84.Bundesliga is a team sport.You win together and lose together. or There is no shortage of self confidence here,but such posts are cringeworthy.What about the poor performance at Pardubice?I don't see anything about that here...

falkirkbandit Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 You get that kind of response after incidents like that , I wouldn't make too much of an issue about it . Maybe Smolinski is after Pedersen's crown as pantomime villain . Few years back , during a televised Edinburgh v Workington clash , Tai Woffinden ( guesting for the Comets ) exclaimed during an after race interview that Edinburgh riders ride like girls - he had just been excluded after Matthew Wethers had fallen during Tai's attempt to overtake him . Seems daft to think a speedway rider might go down too easy like a footballer , but i'll bet it happens . I remember watching that meeting at my parents house as they had Sky then. Ian Thomas's comment about the pit phone to the refs box being "from World War 2" is still fresh in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June01 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Being that he has taken on Nicki P in the past I'm more liable to take a view against Pawlicki, but the more I watch him the more I realise he's been taught to ride hard, but also to take hard riding. If he bailed out every time someone came near him with a bike I might have a different view, but he just rides speedway for the love of it, as far as I can see, not to play games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
