If that's right and Roscoe didn't know I can see he's days being numbered

It was said earlier on. Perhaps Rosco can think he can send out Cook in blue.

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

How could he have ridden? - it’s the under 21 rider that’s out injured

Tai saying he wants whats best for british speedway he could start by riding at belle vue next monday, never mind taking kids to aussie show them how its done in britian.

Tai really doesn't seem to have any respect for Rosco. 

But Tai is bang on with his comments.  We should have had another under 21 rider there for the experience (as it turns out, would have got a ride).    Rosco is clueless at this level, is there any reason why Tai could not do both jobs next season, and be team manager, maybe with Peter Adams?

Or Scott Nichols. Rossiter’s days must be numbered. His appalling decision to declare Bewley as part of the squad and then leave him at home and, his venomous comments during his TV interview surely means his Team GB Managers P45 will be in the post by the morning. 

[Baldyman 6,243]

Any idea of the size of crowds in Russia that watch racing this boring on  a track this boring?

Should never have had the job in the first place. Well and truly out of his depth. Should tender his resignation first thing tomorrow.

As for cook, he was doing this last year in the GP as well.

Hes a s##t house.

What a load of plop and that is exactly what is wrong with British Speedway.

[racers and royals 8,723]

From the SON regs

The U21 Rider must race in a minimum of 1 heat in each meeting, Final day 1 and Final day 2 will be classed as 2 meetings. If the U21 does not get nominated before the last programmed heat for his country he will automatically replace the rider in Red or White.

Basically he has no respect for the old guard because he is single handedly to trying to change it.

Speedway in the UK is f####d and we have a set of people who are dinosaurs in their thought process.

He has no respect for the Nicholls of this world etc because they have achieved absolutely nothing where the sport really counts.

Bottom line is we have just two riders who can compete at the top level...

One of which is arguably the best in the World..

The rest are miles away from being that level..

Beating even worse riders domestically each week doesn't prepare you for meetings like this...

Being a Big fish in a tiny, tiny pond is really not an achievement of any note..

Didn’t see Rossiter’s interview - briefly, what were his venomous comments?

[ProudtobeaBrummie 646]

what did he say in his interview ?

[racers and royals 8,723]

Sweden have just been allowed to break the rules
