    So where do you think the match should've taken place? Of course the outcome would've been different on another track but again seems a pointless question to ask.

    As for Nowak cancelling out Sedgmen, I seem to remember Sedgy getting a max in his final match at Ashfield, so maybe not.

    First one.  Not really.  A reasonable enough open question neither one way or the other as an open question is.

    Second one.  That is also possible although Sedgmen's last match was too little too late, my point was to speculate what Sedgmen's scoring would have been at Armadale although possibly balanced out by Nowak's scoring at Ashfield i.e. consistent scoring over a few matches, so essentially just a balanced view of 'what ifs', this way or that.

    I've never seen more 'what ifs' before than were in your original post. 

    To ask the question what if the match had been ridden on an actual speedway track is an absolutely ridiculous comment.

    Not ridiculous at all.  An open question.  Its a discussion forum.  It's got you talking.

    The 'what ifs' were also balanced out e.g. I mentioned that Brennan cancelled out Ostergaard, and Nowak cancelled out Sedgmen.  Again, it's a discussion forum.  If you don't like discussion then maybe don't use a discussion forum.

    Wow your not bitter at all!

    It was Brennans first ever visit and he got on just fine. Nowak just a typical pole that can ride very well flat out but lacks the throttle control that is required for a track like Armadale.

    Wow you don't read posts at all!!

    In answer to your "wrong end of the stick'" false assumption, not at all in fact.  If you read my original post again or actually read what it says for the first time by the sound of it then you would see that it's an open question.  And my point about Brennan was a fair/balanced assessment that his contribution probably would not have been bettered by Ostergaard, and again that Sedgmen and Nowak's contributions probably cancelled each other out.

    The question arises, how different would it have been if the match had been ridden on an actual speedway track rather than a postage stamp 'Mickey Mouse' track.  And should there be a minimum size of track to be permitted to stage official speedway meetings.  'Racing' at Armadale never seems to look like 'speedway' as most people know it, the riders seem to stall and almost come to a complete halt on the bends.  That an experienced Polish rider couldn't even turn the bike on it probably says more about the deficiencies of the track than it does the rider.

    Other 'what ifs' such as if Ostergaard had been fit, although unlikely to have done better than Brennan, and Sedgmen would probably have done better than Nowak at Armadale although probably less well at Ashfield so again probably cancels out.

    Saying i was talking bollocks ???  Trying to help ? .  Doing your best would have making an apology for foul language and attacking the poster..  Both rule breaks.  

    I did say it was only meant as a joviality and had no intent to cause any offence.

    Now discussing all things Glasgow folks....

    Getting very tedious , the 2 of them are like children , give it a rest and lets get back to the topic of speedway

    Easy to say that when you haven't been on the receiving end of it Dorothy and haven't been in the position.  I've certainly never experienced anything like it in my life.  I tried my best to help and gave doc the opportunity to agree to disagree, etc, it's been to no avail.  I did my best.

    Your as bad as each other . Neither of you can leave it. you both want to have the last word so this is just going to run and run. Until one of you actually grow up.

    Not at all.  Easy to say that when you haven't been on the receiving end of it and haven't actually been in the position.  Nothing to do with last word either.  Certainly as far as I was concerned I was happy to try to help, nothing more nothing less.  I knew/know that there was no intent at all.  I've done my best and it's been to no avail.

    Well the "mod" you contacted said to do that but still you've carried it on.  You started the issue by making an offensive comment to me, yet because YOU don't think it was offensive, you wouldnt and didn't apologise.  I simply replied to your repeated pm's asking for an apology.  You didn't want to give one. 

    Going on your logic, i'm quite happy with my language thanks and you interpreting it as derisive is just your view of that.  

    See, pointless isn't it ? You can't say your language is fine and then expect to chastise me about mine....  

     

    In answer to your comments:

    1.  "You started the issue by making an offensive comment to me"   ANSWER:  No I didn't, I clarified it was only jovially and light-hearted.  It was also long after your badgering me with pm's so by then it had become a bit secondary.

    2.  "I simply replied to your repeated pm's asking for an apology.  You didn't want to give one."  ANSWER: To clarify, I only asked that you respect my (previous) request to stop sending me pm's.  Your pm's by this time were also full of derisive language so this was hardly an appropriate basis for discussing anything and especially as I had already previous asked you to stop sending me pm's.  Will come back to below.

    3.  "i'm quite happy with my language thanks and you interpreting it as derisive is just your view of that."  ANSWER: Well that's a pity as your posts to me and your pm's are full of derisive language.  Honestly, you would get nowhere in the business world using that type of language, nowhere.

    In summary, I've made a jovial light-hearted comment, I was quite happy with no intent whatsoever, you've take it the wrong way and gone off the deep end, sending me repeated pm's.  Perhaps if you'd used more reasonable language in the first instance in your representations to me, respected my request to stop sending me pm's, etc, then there would have been no problem.

    There's certainly no way that I would wish to cause offense to anyone, that just isn't me.  Unfortunately you've jumped off the deep end, that's just been the way of it, and that you're content to discuss using derisive language all the time unfortunately hasn't helped.  So on that basis, sadly, yes it does appear to be pointless as you say.

    You're editing my posts, you accused me of bullying and of talking bollocks when i was passing opinion.  You weren't man enough apologise. You aren't the forum police - so wait for the mod to deal with it.  

     

    But why the derisive language all the time?  Its a fair question.  You always laden with derisive wording e.g. "you weren't man enough apologise" - first of all why not simply say (factually) to somebody that they haven't apologised.  I did say before that there was nothing to apologise for in the first place.  If an apology is due to somebody I give it no question but there wasn't anything.  Not a thing.  I was quite happy with no intent whatsoever - none at all.  Somehow you've taken it the wrong way, that's all, that's the sum total of it.  On the other hand your badgering of me with repeated pm's wasn't right, you must know that yourself.

    Come on, agree to disagree and get on.

    Keep battling for the rest of us, hopefully they'll go ahead with their threat and delete their profile soon...

    On what basis.  I've done nothing wrong.  I asked for someone else to stop sending me offensive pm's but the persisted - so you think that's ok?

    Other than that I've only answered his posts.

    You don't know me at all, I'm just an ordinary guy same as you.

    I've not contacted you by pm since your hissy fit the other night as with the utter breakdown you were having i feared the worst..  The "mod" you contacted emailed us both.  Can you not just leave this now and wait for the mod to deal with you ?

    Why the derisive language all the time - "since your hissy fit" - are you really so immature that you cannot speak without making derisive personal slights all the time.  There was no hissy fit as you immaturely speak, I asked you stop sending me pm's but you kept sending me them, that is simply immature behaviour on your part.

    You then say can you leave it now - I already gave you an opportunity to do so but you instead came back with further immature derisive comments and personal slights, very immature behaviour on your part.

    As for your comment to wait for the mod to deal with you, you mean wait for the mod to deal with you . You are the one that's totally out of order and sending pm's etc but which you repeatedly violated so if anyone is to be dealt with by the mod it will be yourself.  You have behaved appallingly.  I've stopped reading pm's anyway so as to avoid receiving your messages.

    sorry BB.

    No worries.

    You obviously know nothing about me.  A helpful word in your ear, you would do well to get rid of all the derisive personal comments and personal slights littered throughout your posts and of course your pm's.  At the end of the day the vast majority of people mean well practically all of the time and I'm no different.  You're a younger generation but my generation have respect for people and that when someone says don't pester me with personal messages it is respected and followed.  Enjoy your speedway.
