Pinny 2,536 Posted April 17, 2013 Do none of you attend Walkabout on a day before the GP or the day of the gp in cardiff? If not i suggest you do this year to see what some riders you class as role models and professionals get up to. Interesting but not surprising to see Wards involvement in a polish piss up gets more attention than ben barker crashing into a car and leaving the scene !!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glasgowmicktiger 142 Posted April 17, 2013 Without knowing all the facts people have just made up there own minds and by knowing all the facts then youbcan only blame someone. Once upon a time my and my mates and our hot wifes were in a v.i.p area in a club for my mates 30th we attracted alot of unwanted male attention from drunken pondlife who thought we thought we were better than them and a fight broke out. Police were called and we all got thrown out (police need to grow baws) in the street at 2am our minibus driver wasnt expected till 3.30(already paid for return journey so had to wait) tried to call him but he was probably sleeping somewhere. Met the lads that caused all the trouble again in a kebab shop and another rammy happened they were trying to punch the girls in the group cause they were scottish TARTS blah blah. My point is im no angel but we didnt start it and the madness of that night still haunts the girls in the group even my mate tam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 21,029 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Pathetic. Your post is pathetic.Ok you might be roughly the same age.....apart from that you don't really have anything in common.If you went out and got pissed every day of the week i doubt anyone on here or in the general speedway world would give one.So where is the comparison?You ain't a sporting star and you don't have sponsors to look after or clubs who are trying to make money on your image.....

Gavan 5,050 Posted April 17, 2013 Some of you fail to realise that this is what the youth of today are like. I'm 25 and I went out last weekend and got drunk out of my tree on friday, saturday and sunday, despite having work monday morning. Are you all going to have a go at me because of it? Just because Darcy is in the public eye doesn't mean he is denied his rights to live his life how he wants to. He's just a target for the media, given his track record (no pun intended) are you a role model for others? are you a professional sportsman? does it matter what you do? if you go out friday saturday sunday and get drunk thats up to you. pretty boring life if you ask me cant get my head around this way of thinking. it happens in most towns thats the youth of today. ok so be it does it make it right? personally if you want to go out drinking brawling and urinating in the street up to you. more reason why this country has gone downhill. if your life is about going out getting drunk 3 -4 nights out of 7 then go waste your life. why cant people see that THESE ARE WELL PAID PROFESSIONAL SPORTSMAN. ROLE MODELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What they did was wrong 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,939 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I thought the most shocking thing was that Holder and Batchelor were out partying together, for some reason I had it in my head that they hated each other although not sure why I thought that. Batchelor's finally accepted that Holder's in a different league to him, No more "Australian Number 1" quotes from him.

stevebrum 6,827 Posted April 17, 2013 Blimey!! You DO lead a colourful life. :shock: :shock: That is one way of describing it. well if you think its acceptable then thats your view. personally i think its disgusting behaviour and shows you what is wrong with our country really doesnt it. remember the riots in london? this is called anarchy basically. nothing would have been said ifit was hancock hampel or crump because they would never have done it!!!!! Ward wasnt really involved this time but yet again his name is there linked in. he needs someone to grab hold of him and quick otherwise he could throw his whole career away. Holder i thought would have known better Batchelor is a clown full stop. If you think that because this 'stuff goes on in city centres' means we should accept it then i feel that is the wrong attitude. Well said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted April 17, 2013 I couldn't agree more dude - this is just common in city centres nowadays and is EXACTLY what people are like from the ages of 17-25 and that's what a lot of people on these forums just don't see. That's life. ................ and this is precisely why I will not go in to Sunderland City Centre on a night time. I am not against young folks enjoying themselves - but I resent very much that, to people like myself (older types), the City Centre is a 'no go' Area. It should not be that way - it was not in my youth - granted there sometimes was 'bother' on a Saturdeay Night - but it was nothing compared to today. It is not just Sunderland either - from what I read and hear it is the same throughout the Country. Sadly saying "THAT'S LIFE" is not good enough - it shouldn't be this way. Live and let live I say - but - that includes ALL of us, both young and old alike. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWitcher 12,453 Posted April 17, 2013 When it doesn't effect your ability to do you job and doesn't cause harm to anyone else it's acceptable. Darcy, Chris and Troy will still be able to race speedway this week. Nobody was hurt or injured as far as we're aware so it doesn't matter. Might be time to revisit this post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted April 17, 2013 Darcy & Holder both poor for Poole tonight. Maybe need to spend less time drinking and brawling & more focusing on their speedway. Would you expect an oylmpics star to be out getting drunk all the time cos their young or would you expect to see themworking hard for the sport they love? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheReturn 1,724 Posted April 17, 2013 No you just expect to see olympic stars killing their girlfriends Oh FFS, that is a pathetic and stupid post to make. I love how in the article it says they're role models for kids so should be getting drunk and thrown out of bars - seemingly ignoring the fact that kids wont be in bars at 11.30 anyway to see their role models being thrown out TBH, this is a nothing story. Group of lads get drunk, group of lads get throw out of bar, WOW, who hasn't this happened to? Head in sand sydrome? The fact the pictures have surfaced mean the fact kids are in bed is irrevelant, because they will see their 'stars' and 'role models' getting wasted.
