It's those damn mexicans again!!!!!!!

Hmmm - I'm not so sure.........is that 'Deliverence' I can hear?

Pssst........Heathen till I die = Cradley Fan - nuff said!!!!!!

Just heard this news via the SKY match....how very sad - he was only 3 years older than me!!! RIP Toni...........................

PM sent!

I think he did 'make the most of it' but he was definatly hit pretty hard - hard enough to make him lose momentum and balance and therefore lose the vital 2nd place. The alternaive would be to stay on - ala B Pedersen in the race with Crump - and miss out or drop the bike and possibly get a rerun! I'm not saying this is right but the fact remains that it was Nicholls move which caused Zagar to lose his balance. The same was true of Iversen - Nicki hit him and he came off. What Tony Steele does (and I've seen him do it before in Britain!) is he uses the 'person on the deck caused the stoppage so is excluded' line! I think this is the easy option personally - it takes a lot more balls to exclude the person who actually caused the fall!

I would think that questions will be asked anyway! After all he only missed out on the final because he fell! So if it had happened the other way round you would have been as happy? Come off it Phil, Nicholls knocked him off and was lucky enough to have a ref wearing a union flag shirt to give him another chance!

Ahh - in that case I agree! Irony and sarcasm as the most difficult thing to portray on a BB!

Yep another sport fan here Sue! My Dad always treated me as his surrogate son (I was the 2nd child and my big sis was the 'girly' one!) so I got taken to all the sports things with him. I was filling in my own speedway programme at the age of 6 and had a season ticket to Swindon Town FC at the age of 10! I'd love young Chris to challenge you and I to a sports quiz........then we'd know who knows the most about sport!!!!!!

Not being there I don't know the answer but are you SURE they were ENGLISH Dekker?

I've seen Lindback do the same though Stevie boy! The absolute best for this was Billy Hamill - he was the bain of our lives when he rode for other teams............strangely he seems to have forgotten how to do it this season!!!!!!

Hmmmm - now what was it .....Oh yeah 'Support Team GB and show you're proud to be British'.......................................Not as long as people think that 'Supporting Team GB' involves that sort of behaviour thanks! Proud to be British?

Well there we are then..........And people wonder why British supporters cheer for the Dans, Swedes etc - it so that they don't get associated with people like Felix and the idiots who drowned out the Danish national anthem with airhorsn and threw bottles at the Danes on the parade last night......proud to be British ................

Well said you guys! We had all this 'we did well' rubbish in the Football WC! We were easily the fourth best team on the night - we were only gifted the bronze medal by Crump's fall. If you look at it, the other three teams were all weakened by injuries to key riders (PK not fit, Jensen out, Sheilds out) whereas we just don't have the firepower - those WERE our best 5 riders!!!!! I'm sure it's only the Brits who congratulate their sportsmen/women for being losers!

Personally YES! I agree with the person who said Pearson is so full of his own importance - who CARES whether HE thought it was all 4 back or whatever - he's there to commentate on what's happening not treat us to the Gospel According to Pearson!

The World Cup Trophy?

As I said on the Hans thread - we've been calling him Dive Bomber since he did a similar thing at Monmore last year!

Well he did do it at Monmore when riding for Coventry, yeah! Doesn't make the 'professional foul' any less cheating though does it?!

spot on!

He isn't known as DIVE Bomber Harris round these parts for nothing! It's not the first time he's done this! I don't blame Hans and the other Danes being peed off this time!

I honestly don't have a problem with the commentators being biased towards GB - I do, however, object to them being biased towards the Aussies! I mean, WHY?

Yeah right! suffice to say that if every woman stopped going to speedway you and your 'bloke' mates could watch in total peace........watch the bulldozers knock the stadiums down that is, as there'd be no teams left sunshine! On this thread and the Hans Andersen one, there have been MEN and women stating that they saw the incident differently to you - unless we have a higher than average number of gay male posters on here who also only see things from another point of view because they fancy the riders, perhaps people sometimes have a different point of view from your own! For the record, I was shouting for Team GB but thought the Hans/Scott was sorted out ON the track - twit for tat, end of story! And I haven't 'fancied' a rider since about 1988 - most of the riders these days are almost young enough to be my sons!

You missed the point - I wasn't saying Zagar was the one who stuffed Bird - I was pointing out that Zagar is capable of such behaviour and as Bird has been on the recieving end, perhaps he should explain to Zagar what it feels like to get badly hurt by someone else taking them out in that way!

Perhaps Mr Bird would like to have a word with his ex-teammate Zagar.........he has a REAL talent for such manouveres!!!!!!!

Actually Robyn you can only expess an opinion if it's in blind support of the GB team AND if you're not a woman apparently. It seems that women are incapable of rational thought as they only go to the speedway to lust after the riders!
