waiheke1 4,295 Posted April 5, 2013 Without having the full details around the accident, it would seem his actions are probably on a par, or perhaps slightly worse, than those of Darcy in December. I can't see this thread running to twenty odd pages however, unless his manager (or the England manager) come out with some nonsense about "it's what all the kids are doing isn't it" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see this thread running to twenty odd pages however, unless his manager (or the England manager) come out with some nonsense about "it's what all the kids are doing isn't it" As you say we don't know the details but given there is no mention of drugs or running from the police I would hazard a guess that it's not 'slightly worse' 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foamfence 2,917 Posted April 5, 2013 What does this have to do with anyone on here? Your local pork butcher, sunday school teacher or charity shop manager might have done the same thing...Would that be of any interest if they had? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I read the British Speedway pork Butcher Forum or the British Sunday School Forum then I wouldn't be surprised to see such news. It's in the newspapers so why the outrage?

No outrage, It's just pathetic.....Next week's revelation will probably be "Chris Harris likes baked beans" or "Simon Stead stood next to someone in a motorway service centre gents".

Though of course Harris liking beans or Stead standing next to someone aren't criminal offences. I would say it's a pretty newsworthy item. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foamfence 2,917 Posted April 5, 2013 Just what the forum needs, another self appointed moderator to preside over us telling us what can and can't be discussed I didn't say you couldn't, I just said it was a bit pathetic. That's my opinion and I'm allowed to give it, aren't I?Personally, the off track antics of Ben Barker or indeed Darcy Ward are of no interest to me whatsoever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are dozens of threads on this forum that I think are pathetic/silly/of no interest etc. I simply dont post on them. It works for me 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whowasthatberntpersson 108 Posted April 5, 2013 It is good to see Barker's unsavoury antics brought to light at last, he's gone unoticed in other high profile events, which have seen others dragged through the gutter (obviously couldn't buy himself out of this one).... AND yes generally I do agree, its what they do on track that should count. Named at last - Thats all i'll say on the matter. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
