Supersub 79 Posted October 18, 2021 I don’t expect 5-1 or 4-2 every heat but look at the overall picture & have a little optimism & faith but there are riders who are inconsistent at Poole & you rate them too highly, e.g Nick Morris, Hans if he doesn’t gate !!

He's not the only one who is like that tbh! I do wonder if it is a middle aged man thing but that does make me sound a bit sexist and ageist! I tend to look at races more optimistically in the playoffs but even I was surprised how Leicester didn't push us a bit more in the second leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you're pessimistic and you're right with a bad result, you can feel good to a point because you can say, " well I was right", and if the result goes like it did against Leicester you can post how pleased you are that you were wrong, win win situation for the middle aged man. I'm past middle age, unless I break the record for the oldest man ever, so don't know where that leaves me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True but what if you are not believing in the bad result and just pretending to be pessimistic (as a lot of fans accuse Steve of doing), that must get a bit draining!! Past middle aged people seem to be a bit more chill and just enjoy the racing?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't make Lisa's comment wrong, it is any kind of predudice but racist language and racist behaviour is a big part of why they take the knee.
