It’s clear from the video evidence Vinnie Foord wasn’t at fault for either incident at Poole. In heat two he was up the inside of Killeen. Killeen then attempted to go around Vinnie but went for a gap that wasn’t there. And his front wheel went through Vinnies footrest, showing he was half a bike down at the time of the collision. 

As for the crash with Jody Scott, it’s clear Vinnie got up the inside of Scott off the 4th bend and Scott panicked, turned into Foord crossing the start line, causing the crash. Ford’s line never changed as can be seen in the BSN footage. Scott should have been excluded.

Think that clears everything up concisely so time to lock this ridiculous thread.

When you consider which "journalist" wrote it would you expect anything less than half a story?

There's no mention of the Foords making shooting gestures to the crowd etc as seen on tv. The same person copies and pastes most pieces he writes and passes off others work as his own by changing a few words.

I wrote the story. I never copy and paste any stories or use anyone else's work as my own. I've been an award-winning national newspaper writer for 32 years. I've written for Speedway Star since I was 17-years-old. I wouldn't be employed if I just copied other work. What you've stated is libellous. But I doubt you'll give me your real name!

? how many fans would like a trier like Vinnie in there team.

Yes please.  He's young and over rides at times. However, having looking at both crashes I don't think he did anything wrong. Given better equipment I can really see him kicking on next season providing he is given the opportunity to do so in the Championship.

Fine line between reckless and dangerous 

I don’t believe he is dangerous or deliberately knocking riders off

He is reckless riding above his capabilities at times

Unfortunately you have the Poole blinkered mafia who won’t hear a word against him or see when he has done wrong

Hopefully it’s because he is a trier and he tries too hard …. Because at some point things have to change for him he can’t keep riding how he is

What has he done wrong then? You have Bewley who says they were just racing incidents. Can't accuse him of being in the 'Poole mafia' as you call it. Rosco who says JS turned too early, although I suppose you could say he might have a bit of bias towards Poole, although he did also ride for Oxford!

As a Leicester fan, I've probably seen him ride more than most. He's a bit of an enigma. He'll be fine in 75% of meetings, but that other 25% he is definitely reckless, bordering on dangerous. It feels like in some meetings he feels he has a point to prove and tries a bit too hard. 

Would I have him in my team, though? Probably, simply from the fact he has the ability to improve and the ability to iron out those reckless tendencies as he gets older.

On a side note, I do find it strange that the Poole fans are so blinded by this. You don't see Leicester fans having the same blinkered view of him. There's no doubt he's a bit crazy on a bike, but he can definitely be quick. It's about recognising both of those facts. He's never going to improve if he's just surrounded by people telling him he's doing great.

As a Redcar fan I have no problems with Vinnies riding, yet 😂. There is another thread on the go regarding Ashton Boughen shutting the throttle off which then begs the question of which is more dangerous, riding throttle open or backing off🤷‍♂️. This will only really be answered when Ashton throttles off and someone behind/challenging crashes. Over to the ex riders on this one.
