ENGLAND, they moved to aussie land when they where approx 3yrs old, they are now 24yrs old, and still living in aussie land, but you ask them what nationality they are they will say bugger, we are pommie bastads, and proud of it, what the f*^k has a flag got to do with it, it says India on my car tyres but it dont mean i,m indian, does it, t*(ts <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well said onc onc end of story nothing else needs saying now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jacques Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Well said onc onc end of story nothing else needs saying now <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bazski, it seems that certain individuals get pleasure out of knocking the youngsters....but why??? I couldn't care less what he wears on his kevlars ( maybe he's proud of his heritage) nothing wrong with that.....there's all this talk about the future of the sport, encouraging the young riders,how many of them have thought ,that ripping a sixteen year old kid to pieces time and time again helps????????

I can guarentee 100 % the same people knocking him would be backing him to the hilt if he was riding for THEIR team. I see it on this forum and everywhere, sad fact of life i'm afraid. It's up to Tai what he decides on his nationality. I just enjoy watching him ride, and hopefully will continue to do WHATEVER he decides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Why don,t you sad people get a life at the end of the day the our national team is called team great britain and face it there is nothing great about this country so aint that a contradiction maybe the lad had his logo designed when he started racing so why should he change it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you think our country is not great why don't you piss off to a country you think is great?

Its clear that starting as a 16 year-old Brit, he can join CL teams and start on a 3.00 average, but cant do that registered as an Aussie. He is not the first to do it as I remember a certain Mr Crump starting in the juniors at Poole as a young Brit. It's simply a blinkered bigotry that comes from only shouting for riders of your own team. I can guarentee 100 % the same people knocking him would be backing him to the hilt if he was riding for THEIR team. I see it on this forum and everywhere, sad fact of life i'm afraid. It's up to Tai what he decides on his nationality. I just enjoy watching him ride, and hopefully will continue to do WHATEVER he decides <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tai is signed up for Wolverhampton and will in the very near future be lining up for them in the Elite League and I will be very pleased when he does. The lad has a great riding style and looks set for a glittering career, but I would really love to see him carry on as an English rider where he could easily be the #1 Brit by the age of 21 and would gain a great deal more sponsorship as an English rider. So one day he will ride for MY TEAM and WHATEVER nationality he decides to take, I will enjoy watching him ride for Wolves week in week out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seb the Snail 22 Posted June 8, 2007 Another idiot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Please attack the post, not the poster BWitcher. Whatever the Wolves fans think, David's qualification for the GP will always be tarnished by the fact that it came on his own track. Since Monday he has been easily despatched by Kennett at Poole, and beaten by a woefully out of form Gjedde in his only ride last night. Hardly GP material. Like you, no doubt, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing how he fares at Cardiff. How many points do you feel he needs to score to consider the meeting a success? 6? Finally, credit to David for the post earlier on this thread giving his version of events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You say that he only won because he was on his own track and then say that he was beaten by Kennett.......ummmm wasn't that on KENNETT's own track? And as for last night - the bloke was ill for goodness sake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as for last night - the bloke was ill for goodness sake! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I posted on the relevant thread, it was a shame that he dropped out as we were all looking forward to seeing him ride. I hope he's back on form soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seb the Snail 22 Posted June 8, 2007 By the same token does that make Gollobs GP wins at Bydgoscz tarnished? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good point well made Blazeaway. I guess to a certain extent it does, in so much as he clearly had an advantage over the other riders. That said, I don't believe that he rides Bydgoscz as his home circuit any more, so if he prevails this year it would be a pretty weak argument. I don't want to carry on discussing this forever, I just think that with so much at stake the meeting should have been held at a "neutral" venue, that's all.

stevebrum 6,824 Posted June 8, 2007 By the same token does that make Gollobs GP wins at Bydgoscz tarnished? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> superb point blazeaway! EVERY track will give at least 1 rider home track advantage in a big competition. except for the one off tracks off course. Nothing tarnished now, i think we can ALL agree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
