Craig is craig, his issues are well documented and no need to go over them.

When he's good he's not only a fantastic Speedway Rider he is also one of the most affable and approachable guys you could wish to meet.

When he's not good he can be an absolute dick and be someone you'd be best to steer well clear of.

Unlike other illnesses that can cause you to have good and bad days like Migraine, IBS , Gout etc etc, mental illness is not immediately visible and try as they might those who suffer from it can't always control it. 

That's the nature of the beast of mental illness. I don't make excuses for the guy and I don't think he'd make excuses for himself. I'm sure though that he and millions of others who suffer from it would like a magic cure.

 

 

Well said, unfortunately people don't understand mental health issues, I don't condone what Craig said but as a mental health nurse, I am aware that things can be said and done that people don't have the same control over. Mental health issues are very complex, there is often increased anger and frustration which people find difficult to deal with.

Basso fined for throttling cook.

Need new glasses, looked quickly and thought cook was cock! Then again.....maybe I was right in first place, or even choking the chicken I suppose.

Whilst I agree with the Mental Health issues Craig has and it certainly can’t be easy for him, and as we know can lead to deep depression.

But there has to come a point that we have to stop using the issue as a defence . I don’t think anyone would have questioned the crash on Sunday other than a racing incident albeit Bens reaction in the aftermath suggested he thought there was more to it than a racing incident.

His tweet confirms that he knew exactly what he was doing Mental Health Issues or not in no way can that be excused regardless.

Maybe there should be some kind of 'vetting' regarding mental health issues within speedway?

In some cases it could be like, giving a nutter a gun.

It's Glasgow. Bound to be the team manager's fault.

If that's the case there is bound to be photographic evidence surely?

Seems bit strange with so few fixtures this season the KO cup fixture with Redcar been set for a random Tuesday night during the school term.

Due to rider availability, we don't want to ride without Marcin, Ben, Tom or Claus as they all ride abroad

I'm well aware of that, but to my knowledge they don't ride Friday's unless national title/ fim engagements. I assume none ride in Sweden on Tuesdays?

During the lockdowns nobody seemed to care about schools so i don't see why parents shouldn't take them to the speedway and let them stay off the following day. Give them a scorecard on Tuesday evening and let them learn a bit of maths whilst having fun especially with some of the high scores the Tigers rack up. They'll get a far better education at the speedway that they will in any modern school. They certainly won't miss their gender studies classes or being read books to by men in wigs and dresses.

Think admin need to check if there has been some sort of IT issue. 


I was looking for news on Glasgow speedway but appear to be on the Daily Mail letters page instead. 

I apologize for insulting your taste in wigs
