stevehone Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Just to say.........i know its cynical and i'll get shot down in flames for it.......but i think Rickardsson is exagerating! He ruled out riding on saturday far too quickly!If it was for the reasons he claims then i think he would wait and see how he was on saturday before ruling himself out I think hes a bit bothered about 5 man races(not long til the next GP......)! i apologise if im wrong..................but like has already been said, we all saw he was fine on tuesday! :roll: :roll: :roll: aha!!!! i'm not the only one that thought this then....

orion Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 What school did BritPeter go to? The Shakespearean School for complete pillocks!!!!!!!! If you are gonna sacrifice the english language to sound clever at least make a clever comment. Sure GB did well but the truth is we are not in the same class as the aussies. We have a chance of finishing second.Cheers to thegreat for posting a bit of intelligence.Anyone who listens to that other plummy idiot BritPeter you need help. Try beer or drugs or sodomise next doors cat I must need help then i listen to britpeter all the time he rules and talks loads of sense unlike you .maybe you should try some beer or drugs :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 GeminI may be a lot of things but I don't find it funny to lie about riders being injured etc :? This came from a reliable source that I know would not say it unless it was true and it turned out to be 100% accurate.Pete Yes, sorry. Please accept my apologies. I was just following on from the previous post saying I hope you're joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 No worries, I know we have had a few prank posts about this recently so you have to be alert. I can safely assure you though I would never post anything about a rider unless I know it to be true Pete (not the one who cried wolf ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emperor Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Good afternoon all especially BritPeter and your adoring fan who like yourself is obviously on temporary release. Just how far will Australia win by? My prediction is 8 points with a close thing for 2nd. As for 9-56 being past my bedtime i can only agree although i dont go to bed in a back to front coat like you good self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozyace Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I think 8 points is an outrageous margin! :roll: I'm sure it will be a lot closer than that if we win at all. Sorry emporer if the aussies win it will be by four points max. 8 points indeed. tch tch I wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BritPeter Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Emperor, What does Sirosan mean to you??? I've got your number sunshine, now everything becomes clear, you can change your name (three times now) but you cannot change your nature!! Your confident tip for the Aussies, emperor shows me that little has changed, when you posted your tips on the "other site" you clearly demonstrated that you could not tip a waiter! Hope you did not lose too much Sirosan!! I won I backed ALL the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 T.Rick will ride in tomorrow`s final. It`s an official, confirmed piece of news. However, he won`t ride in Polish league on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 If it's true that Trick is riding tomorrow and not Sunday it's farcical! He pulls out hours before the race-off feeling dizzy, but is fit to ride 2 days later but not 3 days later. I only hope he does not feel dizzy when on the track with 4 other riders. No offence to Trick who I'm sure has had a load of pressure put on him but this is ridiculous, either he is fit to ride in both meetings or is still suffering from concussion, in which case he is not fit.

Mateusz Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 We have got a great match here on Sunday (Polonia Bydgoszcz vs. Apator Torun). It`s very important for both teams. T.Rick decided not to ride in this match. However, I`m glad that he won`t ride because Bydgoszcz are without Mark Loram who`s injured and if Torun ride without T.Rick the chances will be the same and we can win it .

Guest BritPeter Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 With Rickardsson returning (If It's true) things will be much harder for the Aussies, and everybody else. I thought this meeting was a lottery anyway, unlike previous rounds there are now five GOOD competetive riders in every race, and this on a track that has tight bends! If the Aussies do win, then the best of luck to them, but they are by no means assured of victory. They will be riding on a Danish track prepared by Danes for the Danes. In other words It will be slick, and ANY rider that gets behind early will find things very difficult, there are many riders here who are more than capable of taking points off the Aussies. This should make for a great meetimg, and if the GB riders can gate as they did on Wednesday, then they can make their presence felt.

Guest BritPeter Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Nice website Mateusz, how useful that would have been if Centrebet had not stopped betting on Polish matches. Your "Info" on Rickardsson was completely wrong though, where did you hear this nonsense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightonbob Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 I don't see anything wrong with Tricky coming back (if). Sport is littered with tales of sportsman taking risks for their sport. There is something very slick about Tricky for sure. He wants to be the biggest and best. He wants, quite simply, to be a star. I'm sure he wants to be the King of Speedway and be loved by everyone. But so what? Good on him. Do we really expect anyone who rides one of those bikes the way they do to be that normal anyway? Speedway needs superstars, and he is. He is part of their squad and if that means its harder for our boys, well thats what competitions are and its pointless moaning about it.

SammyR Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Rickardsson is NOT riding tonight !! Why on earth do people suggest he's 'swinging the lead' or scared of five-man races. I'm sure he would love to lead his country, and am convinced that his withdrawal is genuine. Not only has he been the best rider in the world for a number of years now, he's also a very brave rider. Let's acknowledge his contribution to speedway instead of people slagging off a great sportsman. Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trick would not choose to miss representing his country in a WC final if he had any real say in the matter. He is also missing big pay days in Poland and England as well. As a professional, only a couple of months ago he rode every night the week after his big smash in a GP, when other riders would have taken quite a bit of time off to recuperate. We will certainly miss him at Coventry on Monday, when Jason Lyons guests in his place. KNowing Trick he certainly would have ridden, especially as it's live on TV and the chance to show himself to potential sponsors. cheers Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 I don't see anything wrong with Tricky coming back (if). Sport is littered with tales of sportsman taking risks for their sport. Bob my post was not meant as an attack on Trick but on the authorities for allowing a rider who in an interview on Thursday admitted to feeling dizzy and unwell on a bike, obviously still suffering the after effects of a bad concussion, being allowed on track just 2 days later alongside 4 other riders when by Trick own statement he had been advised by doctors to rest for at least a week. Thankfully it seems the information was false. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BritPeter Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 If you read the posts carefully you will see that nobody was attacking Rickardsson, he is respected by all. A lot of riders consider the five man races are too dangerous, and I would not blame anyone pulling out for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightonbob Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Point taken Star Lady. I was actually making a general comment as Tricky comes in for a lot of stick I think. Blokes a genious and I wish he rode for Eastbourne and was born in GB. My point is simply that the sport needs superstas and he can have that tag with some merit. Did you see his tour bus behind him the other night! Flash bugger! I saw Scott Nicholls at Arlington unloading his unmarked old transit on his own the other week, plastic crates of bits balanced on top while he wheels his own bike in. Its a long way to the top I can tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
