Nah it's GB we'd rather send nutrition personal instead of an extra rider plus Rosco's personal crimper to make sure that he uses the right hair gel for his Tin Tin look or Woody Woodpecker look whichever way you look at it

Tai is absolutely brutal and that little interview can put to bed any doubts about his relationship with Rossiter. For the record I fully agree with what Tai says. Just give him the bloody reigns to this nation and be done with it.

Both Lambert and Cook are fit to ride today.

But Speedway in this country has for too long been a pleasant little club where no one ever criticises. It's got us nowhere, time to say it how it is.

I'm admiring Woffy more and more. No arse licking and talking complete sense. why put .Bewley in the squad if you don't think he's fit!

Overall, Pearson hadn’t a clue what was going on, apart from the fact it’s 42 heats over two days, then a race between 2nd and 3rd, and a final where the World Champions will be decided over 60 seconds Is there a home he can go to?

Pearson and his motley crew have ripped off the sport for long enough, sub-standard journalism; sub standard media, poor reaction to criticism. He is part of the problem with the sport, yet has an iron media grip on a lot of the Clubs due to his collaboration with BSPA including my own. Of course he is unhappy with social media warriors who tell it how it is. He can't control them and that's all he wants to do. "control".

Not sure why the debate about which heat to run with one rider.. As we have already ran most of them with just one, then surely one more wont make much difference...

And the less said about him the better. Collins? Loram? Morton? Jessup? Simmo? Plenty in the past.

To be fair the engine has to pull an extra two stone around so its going to struggle.

Roscos interview showed all that is currently wrong with the setup and mentality with Great British Speedway. Time for a complete clearout.

Yep absolutely the right mentality love him or hate him he knows the deal Rosco hasn't a fkn clue kn8b head!

SORRY to be pedantic, but you cannot give 110 per cent. 100 per cent is the max. Interesting comments from Tai. Not exactly on the same wavelength as Rosco.

Yeah pretty poor considering the fuss made about the GB set up

This is spot on. Up to now my belief is that the Team GB setup is far more about style than substance. I would be very happy to admit if I am wrong about that. I can't even think of any way that things can realistically be altered. Either the riders are up to the job or they are not, and things like fitness, nutrition and team bonding sessions make only a marginal difference. The re-definition of 'team' to mean two riders plus an U21 has helped but realistically GB should not need this, there should be more riders at a good level. The aim should be to race Test series against Poland, Australia, Denmark etc with 7 or 8 man teams - proper Tests. This might happen in the future but the selection of Chris Harris (much as I admire what he has done over the years) doesn't suggest that we are aiming in this direction. Even Woffinden said we should be going with youth - surely he has a strong voice within Team GB?

A lot like me stopped going when we signed him during the winter, knowing full well what we was going to get.

Blocked by Schlein on Twitter this morning. Wasn’t even following him. Sensitive little bitch ain’t he

Personally don’t see the point of racing over 2 days for “ winner takes all final”.meeting each other once should be enough.

It's always heartwarming to see the young ' uns dancing with Smoggy to the strains of The Music Man. They look like they are having such a great time. The MPA, and the current promotion team, the team itself, the atmosphere, and the whole experience of going to see the Bears ride is light years away from the visiting experience not so very long ago. Yes, I'm a Bears fan, but the efforts everyone is putting in at the MPA, deserves some long overdue reward. UTB !!!

Telling it as it is. And about time too. Not sitting on the fence. Offered to go to RUSSIA AND RIDE EVEN INJURED.

NOT sure Tai would accept that Rosco is his boss!

Pathetic attitude by Rosco there. If Bewley isn't fit, he shouldn't be riding, he won't get fit, without riding. We haven't got a chance of silverware, so let them experience it. Even Tai saying he would give it a go but no flights.

I dont think I misunderstood you, think I knew where you were going. You said "If Bewley at reserve we are in the same boat as all those others", maybe except for one country - Poland, who have Drabik, they could equally have had Smektala, or even Kuberra. Point is, their reserves are pretty good. Why? Because they have been exposed to top class racing for so long. ONly now for last couple years is it, GB has the Poultec training. But what is the point of training youngsters if we dont expose them to international racing. Even last year Dan Bewley who is what 20?, is still behind Drabik/Smektala even younger Kuberra. Without Tai our chances of a win were massively reduced, but still in with a chance maybe of a top 3 place, but still tough. But importantly we got to bring the youngsters through. I understand why you say keep Rob at reserve (he will still get the rides) but does GB go for a minor place this year, or invest in future years. When Robert is over 21 (isnt this his last year at under 21"s competition), then Cook is out it will be Tai and Robert, but who at under 21 reserve. It will be an inexperienced rider who HAS to have a ride, maybe finish last, best 3rd place. Get them trained up at every opportunity, like now, when we cant win, and maybe when they do race they are well capable of 3rd or even 2nd. Those points may be the difference between win or loose. Cook, Lambert, Bewley for me this year.

Yip,Garry blames track conditions for Rory pulling up in 3 races as there was minimal opportunity to pass.Even said when he made the gate he won easily.The sport is in a bad way with these attitudes.Imo

Spot on , the jealousy surrounding Glasgow threads is quite comical at times. I remember only too well standing in the weeds on the back straight at Glasgow and you were able to do a quick head count, now while 2100 May be a tad over generous , the attendances are much healthier . The Charlie Monk stand is always pretty full , the stand on the home straight is usually pretty full , and the fourth bend terrace always looks well populated and swelled by an extra 10 folk when the Monarchs visit. While there are things about Ashfield since the Facennas took over that I don't like, I.e no decent bar and over zealous stewarding, it's like night and day now compared to the dump it used to be . If people feel the need to pick holes and throw insults in the direction of something that is actually good about British speedway, then that's pretty sad and it's an attitude which is indicative of where the sport in this country is just now .
