Fair enough. How old is your telly?

If you have a Sony Smart TV they have to be on there. Google Play Store is the only way apps can be downloaded. It's similar to the App Store on iPhones. And you have to have a help of some description if there is no 'old fashioned' manual.

I have a Sony Bravia Smart TV. Hit the Home button on your remote control and scroll down to your apps. You will see an app called Google Play Store . Hit that and you'll find all the apps available for your TV (which is android not Apple). You may need to 'search' for Discovery+ but it's on there as I've downloaded the app onto my telly no problem. Simples innit p.s. you could've also just looked up how to do it by using the Help which is shown as a rather large '?' at the bottom of the Home screen.

Boris Johnson's parents are British......and Artem's parents are Russian. Get the jist? Oh and here's a snippet from Artem's Wikipedia page with the important bit in bold; "In April 2020, he obtained a dual national speedway licence after obtaining a Polish licence, although he will continue to represent Russia." Artem is unfortunately as Russian as one can be.

He was born in Russia and that makes him Russian You cannot change your home of origin/birth just by becoming a citizen of another country. The whole situation is hugely unfair on Artem and all the other Russian athletes and sports people, but the world has to be in unison on this issue.

Artem was born in Russia, therefore he's Russian by birth and that's the unfortunate part of it. The Polish citizenship is purely to make his speedway life easier (as stated above). Has Emil also been banned from riding in Poland and Sweden etc.? No mention of him being banned to the extent Artem has as of yet.

I don't particularly disagree with any of that, however you need to face the facts of what's going on regardless of your opinion.

Fair enough. To be honest I've never heard of the Indian Wells tennis tournament or Daria Saville as I'm not really a tennis fan. However, Russian born sports people (and teams) do seem to be being excluded in 2022 all over the globe in numerous sporting events.

Have you got time to have a life outside of this forum?

Every governing body in sport around the world disagrees with you....so you must be correct

The simple answer is yes. We may not agree with it, but there cannot be exceptions. All Russian born athletes/sports people need to be considered in exactly the same way.

Unfortunately, just about every governing body in sport around the world has suspended Russian sports people from competing. Therefore the FIM has no choice other than to follow suit no matter the rights or wrongs of it. Both Emil and Artem were born in Russia and that overrides any citizenship so that 'argument' is irrelevant. Whilst I do agree that they will be very sorely missed in the GP's in 2022, it's the right and only call the FIM could make. There is no way around it.

As topic title. This is great news! CHAMPIONSHIP STREAMING GOES LIVE! - Thursday, January 27, 2022 (britishspeedway.co.uk)

Or streaming it live?

But we haven't had 5 for quite a few years, so I thought it was worth a mention. And it's good to see so many British boys in all the teams...I never meant it as a competition!

One other point worth mentioning methinks is that we have 5 Brits in our starting septet

Don't bother Bags, he 'aint got a clue. What you say is spot on

Most of us have the troll on ignore now Skids...

I'd say that was ironic but you won't comprehend what I mean. Still totally clueless.

What a complete and utter If you bother to look back over the last few pages I think you'll find you're completely wrong as usual. I really don't know why you're on this thread at all. You have no interest in Poole speedway and have shown yourself to be totally clueless about all things speedway All you do is try to antagonise and post tripe to get a rise. Why don't you just jog on back to your own teams thread...that's if you have one....and let those of us that actually support the Mighty Poole Pirates discuss things in an adult manner?

That's quite a feat, embarrassing yourself hugely whilst attempting to say the same about another poster You have proven yourself to be clueless and completely unknowledgeable about Poole and speedway in general Why keep making yourself look like the village ? Because you're a bedroom keyboard warrior with nothing else to do, that's why

What a complete No idea whatsoever.

Nobody knows how a rider will or will not perform. A rider can be fantastic one season but then drop off the next. It happens all the time. A rider can look good in Poland, Sweden, Denmark or Australia etc. and then come over to the UK and struggle. That happens all the time. Just two examples of many why Poole have dropped under performing riders in recent years. You're talking utter nonsense and obviously have no grasp of speedway, so I kindly suggest you stop posting as you're making yourself look even more stupid upon every post.

Poole drop riders that UNDER PERFORM. They always put together a quality team at the start of every season, but if you don't perform you're out. That's the mentality of champions and is the same in every sport. Like I said, totally clueless.

Totally clueless.
