Gavan 5,050 Posted May 14, 2016 It sums up why a lot of people don't like tai as again he fails to sing the national anthem, had it been the Austrailian one he. Would of sung his heart out. Great rider but he doesn't make himself like able watch it again he soaks it all up. Hope you cheered him on. Good job he didn't do the semi finals don't you agree?

robert72 845 Posted May 14, 2016 No, he closed his eyes and soaked in the emotion of the anthem playing. He was 100% respectful so you have no grounds for any accusations tonight. Did you not see the invictus games, that's a great example why tai is attacked for not singing the national anthem, he is a disgrace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedibee 3,091 Posted May 14, 2016 some great racing and a British winner can't ask for more. Bet your celebrating wildly there right now. Just think if Tai had to ride in either of the British Semi Finals he could have had a night like Harris! One aim to be world champion! Back the Brits!!!! pillock Pillock 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm far from his biggest fan but he respected the anthem which is all I ask. I don't sing it myself so it would be hypocritical to expect others to do so.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) I have to watch BT Sport on my pc. PC would not switch on but got there eventually. Once running I could not get BT Sport to play but got there eventually. Once BT Sport was connected it kept freezing so I had no live action. After a while my pc switched itself off. By the time I got it working again the GP was over. I did not see any of the GP tonight...thank the Lord for Speedway Updates. Well done Woffy. Why on earth didnt you Google cast it to your TV? I played it through my iPhone through Googlecast and crystal clear Hd on my Tv. Far better than a pc monitor. £30 from pc world. Thought the meeting got better and better. Briliant in the end though I was hoping Noddy would make the rostrum. Tai "for sure" Woffinden battled for the win. Thought the Poles let themselves down to be honest. One of them should have made the final. Whilst they have the biggest support they still seem to struggle to replace Gollob. Great crowd though not full. Biggest crowd though in the recent history of the sport. Good nights entertainment. And I bet it doesnt even get a mention on the bbc, even though a Brit won it.

iris123 20,984 Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Rune Holta have never claimed to be Polish and we never called him one. He married a Polish lady and got our citizenship so it was easier for him to get into real speedway in Poland. Same thing did the Australian Tai Woffinden who just came to UK because it's closer to Poland and Sweden. That's why he doesn't ride in Britain, doesn't support British speedway and doesn't sing foreign to him anthems. Ha ha.Your answer came as slow as your riders Even Wales have as many world titles as Poland!!!! Edited May 14, 2016 by iris123 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers89 1,922 Posted May 14, 2016 It's got to the point now where I don't actually care what nationality Tai is, I just enjoy watching him race. It's boring listening to the bickering caused if he sings the national anthem or not, who gives a toss, I'm 100% British, I don't know all the words to the Anthem, do I want to know? No, not really. I'll just stay quiet and pay my respect that way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted May 14, 2016 After a slow start it really came alive, excellent entertainment and a Woffy win as well. Some very good racing tonight and what appeared to be a very good crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
