He's a weed, If Richie Worrall is mentioned he locks himself in the lavatory.It's sad to see Matty struggling like he has this season. I've been watching dvds of last season, Matty was awesome. weather he stayed a season to long , or the death of his friend in Argentina had a bigger effect on him admitted, I don't know, but he has still the potential to be a solid scorer in the Premier League, may be a change of track would do him good next season, if he returns.

Totally agree, there needs to be more than Kus shown the door, despite Duffills usual big talk, I will be surprised if they win a single match in the play-offs. I'd be pretty pleased if they proved me wrong though. :-)Whilst I am no fan of Kus and would not have him back next year - he is by far and away not the only culprit in this Bears side, which is very lucky to have made the play-offs and in no small way thanks to Dyer - indeed we have been a virtual three man team in the shape of Miky, Aaron and Hugh - the only three I would take back, although at best we can only expect Aaron and Hugh back.
Wilkinson and Ostergaard have been very poor - Wilko not hitting 6 and Ostergaard just above a 7 - I would say they both dont get any more plaudits than Kus - and also I dont remember putting into a collection for Kus (injuries aside) to pay for equipment.
It seems an annual event almost to have a whip round for Wilkinson to pay for equipment and same with Ostergaard, if it was not for Motive - god knows what the pair of them would have been riding. I hope for the sake of Redcar Kus, Wilkinson and Ostergaard are kicked out - none are good enough and none will improve.

Absolutely right! For a rider of his experience it's a bit strange. When he dropped to reserve a lot of people said he would be just as big a scorer as Dyer, but he throws away loads of points through falls and sub-standard equipment.Wilkinson. End of topic.

Agree! Very well done Dean.should be superb Deano --take a bow mate for organising all this

And then there are guests!Personally I am amazed sky stayed with league speedway for as long as they have. Let's be honest most pictures show a dirt track surrounded by a scruffy tarpaulin with a few cars tyres on top, A few hundred fans,a race than can take forever with restarts etc etc etc team managers and promoters giving interviews and coming across as insular knobs. Compared to the GPs the whole thing looks as if the local gypsies are running the show. Despite all that I still go I must be mad.
"The thing that makes speedway work in other countries is the tv showing and how the promot speedway"I agree that promoters did get greedy but not all promoters are the same. Sky should of seen this and maybe done something about not going back to the greedy clubs. Not all the promoters are the same. Sky didnt always show the best matches. The thing that makes speedway work in other countries is the tv showing and how the promot speedway. We have always had sky just showing speedway and no one to touch them. Now there are compianes that can take on sky hopefully one of the tv compaines can do something when sky dont want to show speedway anymore.
Do you mean like the no overtaking rule in Sweden and Denmark?.

Idiot.If Bomber is now in the line up then there is no need for a wild card. So that should mean that Danny King should be dropped for the next one on the semi final list.
-
Erm, the Bears are top! and Diamonds fifth............It will probably change soon though :-)Newcastle v Redcar a top of the table clash. The Bears are second and we are fourth. not many times both North East sides have been sitting this pretty

You make it sound as if he's a first time offender.Par for course nowadays really,older generations may think that one puff on a joint or an odd bit of amphetamine is an automatic path to stealing grandma's pension and blowing it all in some crack den,addicted for life,alcahol fares way way higher in terms of the all over negativity
Ironically we see advers everywhere we turn for gambling which can lead to people's lives being sucked into oblivion and so on,crazy world really,with so many laws passed that the majority don't want,the majority think are wrong,but have no choice other than abide by them

At Mildenhall (and probably elsewhere) he was looked upon as someone who didn't hide from his past, and who turned his life around. No matter what anyone thinks to the seriousness of his crime, he can never be looked on in the same way again.

Ritchie? Are there three of them?Why dont Redcar just go the whole hog and sign brother Ritchie.

I think some people are missing the point. GB have no chance of winning, so why not blood some up and coming improving riders?
Cook and Worrall would be top of my list, Harris has the experience both as a rider and an advisor, Woffinden will keep the score respectable.
Kennett (and he's not alone) is a proven flop, and very unlikely to improve to WC level. I would have picked Barker ahead of Kennett, at least you would get 100% effort from him.
-
Would you have picked Edward Kennett?
Personally, I don't think he is international class. The British team have no chance of winning the thing but we have some very good prospects coming along, they need experience at this level, much as the Danes have done recently. My choice would have been Worrall (surely a big future) or Barker (guaranteed effort). But who would YOU have picked?
-
I won't fall to your level again. I explained myself to those who asked.You're just confusing yourself now. Why not go for a lie down and have a think about it before meals on wheels deliver your tea

Wouldn't they need to drop one of the five pointers as well?Roynon to Sheffield.
Jake Knight - Out
Adam Roynon - In

You are right! But I replied to a reply to my own post, only to be told (by a third party) that I had to move on!No need for you to post rude, uncalled for comments like this.
If one can't reply to things, It's a poor show! I do apologise if anyone but the intended recipient was offended.

Insults as well, from the forum bussybody.Foamfence/foam head... Really need to move on son
-
Don't tell me what to post......get stuffed!Already been pointed out earlier. Move on

The ultimate last night. The Eurosport Pairs Meeting. Czech's had a guest who wasn't a Czech! How can Speedway expect to be taken seriously?

Kevin Doohan?Will Craig Cook of Edinburgh set a record this season for riding for so many different teams. He must have featured in half a dozen Ipswich matches already this season.. Does anybody know who holds the record. I think Kevin Doohan has done quite a few in the last couple of years. I wonder which league has the most guest riders?

The material used has more clay than it used to have, It is less porous than the stuff we used to have. It is more prone to ruts which lead to problems with directional stability. Tracks these days are often smaller than those of the past and that leads to harder turning and more potential damage. This is all combined with higher revving bikes with shallower treaded tyres and riders demanding tracks that make turning as easy as possible.
-
Is he related to Matej Zagar?Don't forget that Matej Zager is riding for the Czech Rep......

It only takes a small minority.To refuse on traffic issues has to have the backing of a Highways engineer! The stadium has hosted 10k in the past!
The majority of football fans are well behaved. I can recall cars being parked all over during British Final days!

What about FOAMFENCES! or that fence at Rye which Leaping Len claims is better than an air fence?

Aub Lawson. He was always a good international class rider but in his late 40s he was at his very best and reached the World Championship rostrum.
