gaptooth 136 Posted February 21, 2013 Makes Lewis look like a decent chap, after all he was hung drawn and quartered on here for a scrap outside a nightclub and here we have a drug taking, drink driver who also went up on serious sex offences( ok he was let off but no smoke etc) How Neil can condone it god only knows. Ward should not be granted a visa and Neil should step down as gb manager. Step forward King Roscoe. Full marks for Matt Ford, at least he engaged brain before opening gob. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted February 21, 2013 Misquoted.. Says who? Would take one hell of a 'misquote' to change that statement around. Or are you accusing the reporter of lying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Brown 542 Posted February 21, 2013 Because it sells papers. Just like the crappy Nationals.... Duh.. I get a Duh! From the chap that hasnspent the last 24 hours trying to convince us that Middleditch has said nothing wrong ! I think that deserves a great big DUH ! I still wonder if all this 'Ward needs help' stuff will be taken out of his hands when he walks up to the desk at Heathrow. People who were guilty of what he done would not be allowed entry to Australia so I see no reason to accept them here Very sad but unless something radical happens he isn't going to change, why should he, those around him think he is doing just fine. Thanks goodness for Matt Ford actually being the voice of reason here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks goodness for Matt Ford actually being the voice of reason here Fair post, except for the fact that nobody at poole is thinking he's doing fine. He needs to wake up, and you are very right, Matt is the voice of reason. A little word also from Jason Crump might not also go amiss. Ang on a minute tho, what about all these thousands of imagrants who storm this country, surely, some of those must have criminal records of some discription, and they get escorted into the country!! So that would be double standards. As for Neil, he's been mis-quoted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,821 Posted February 21, 2013 As for Neil, he's been mis-quoted... And should make a statement to that fact if indeed that is correct (i hope that is true because i hope he doesn't think its ok for kids to take drugs) because the quote is defaming his name.

Surely we would be reading articles everywhere emanating from Middleditch that he had been mis-quoted if that was actually the case Unfortunately not though...(read into that what you will) Having said that, I understand that he did make some cryptic twitter comment about horses which is obviously very topical at the moment, but does not help much..

BrandonBees 0 Posted February 21, 2013 I'd like to think Middleditch has been misquoted, because if he really means that Ward's behavior is a reflection of what most young people do then that makes all young people, not only drunks, drug takers, and idiots who mix these with uninsured vehicles but also participants in sex assault cases. Its no wonder faith is lost in the youth of today when they are given the name and reputation of this kind of stuff. Not ALL youngsters are the same, just idiotic ones like Ward. I hope never to see him in the UK again. I haven't read through all of this thread, so if any of this has already been said sorry for repeating!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Jasper 192 Posted February 21, 2013 Says who? Would take one hell of a 'misquote' to change that statement around. Or are you accusing the reporter of lying? MIddleditch himself has said he is misquoted, I asked him why a paper such as the echo would do that espoecially given the close relationship and pages of cover they give to Poole Speedway. The Echo and journalist in question have come out and sand they stand by the story and all quotes..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keef robin 551 Posted February 21, 2013 What a couple of knobs Middlo and Ward are. Any top footballer, rugger bugger, or cricketer etc., would be serving a lenghty ban. Terrible role model for a family sport that is fast going down the boghole in this country. Ban him from the UK. Such a talent but will he ever grow up? Trouble follows him around. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a grown bloody man..., anyway why can't middlo have a word rather than licking his arse in case he buggers off from Poole... Even zammo wasn't that daft....

castrolargh 263 Posted February 21, 2013 Riders have been banned in the past, including a world champion (gary havelock) for. substance use. Comments on social network sites have led to bans / reprimands , so what makes darcy ward so special that he appears to avoid punishment?Hopefully his visa appication will be turned down.Yes, he is a phenomenal talent on a speedway bike and good to watch but do we want to be seen to condone the actions of a young man with dubious morals just because he can race a speedway bike? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teal 74 Posted February 21, 2013 Just to add my theory, I think if it was anybody else caught smoking weed/drink driving then I don't think there would be too many eyelids batted, however the very fact it's darcy ward automatically makes peoples opinions change on the matter, cos lets face it, not many people like him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted February 21, 2013 Does anyone know if Darcy has to declare his conviction every time he enters the UK? If so, it could lead to some scary waits every time he tries to get back in, if he meets the wrong immigration officer or pisses the wrong one of they could tell him to go home.
