5thPlace 21 Posted February 20, 2013 Nah - boll*cks to Darcy - I hope he is never successfull now and fails. After all that bother last year and now this, whats wrong with the bloke? He has the world at his feet and is in a very privaliged position - getting paid shed loads of cash for riding speedway - obviously god didnt give the bloke enough brain cells to rub together. Oh wait ive just remembered. Middleditch says most youngsters do it so it MUST be ok. Speedway is shi*e 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superguest 194 Posted February 20, 2013 Maybe he needs a bit of tough love? or some serious counselling. Ward reminds me more of a footballer than a top speedway rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Backless 538 Posted February 20, 2013 Hope someone can take him to one side, someone he respects & looks up to … blah blah blah Do you mean someone like his team manager? Yeah, that'll work. If he blows any more smoke up his arse he'll make the first kipper to ride in the GPs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brewer 159 Posted February 20, 2013 Don't see what's the problem? Riders like Krzystof Kasprazak who have been in possession of illegal silencers have been allowed to ride in the UK but Darcy shouldn't be allowed? It's not like he has cheated or brought the sport into disrepute... cough "Edward Kennett" wtf are you on of course he has brought the sport into disrepute 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacques 3,114 Posted February 20, 2013 Oh dear, oh dear oh dear! Neil Middleditch is a disgrace... “It is what most young people do these days isn't it? He wasn't racing or putting anyone else's life at risk on the track." WTF! He was only putting other innocent road users at risk, so it must be ok then...Unbelievable, just inbelievable! 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has just really annoyed me that u can honestly think that the silencer issue is worse than a drugs and booze one.

'New legislation was introduced late last year where if a person fails to stop for police the minimum penalty is a $5500 fine and two-year disqualification.' My god, they know how to do it there don't they, we would do well on the tougher laws here! I'm just completely staggered by Neil Middleditch's comments though...

Barry The Cat 78 Posted February 20, 2013 Can't say I am shocked or surprised by Darcy's actions. However I am staggered that Middleditch said that to the press. I would suggest his promoter very quickly distances himself from that viewpoint. Surely Middleditch's future as Team GB boss is in the balance as well? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
