damosuzuki 696 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Don't see what the big issue is? A speedway forum is exactly where you should be able to insult the great and the good . It's not as if the BSF is a goverment body ffs. If the guy can dish it out he should be able to take it. The Heat leader list being the result of concensus is the WORST possible way to work out anything. You don't have to be thick or biased to see that. In fact you'd have be thick or biased to think concensus is the right way to set out out the fundamentals of team building. I'm sure Jon Cook is a big boy. * Plus point At least I can look forward to the Star this week. Edited December 17, 2015 by damosuzuki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,364 Posted December 17, 2015 I read John Cook's comments in a post on this forum. I haven't seen Speedway Star. The comments attributed to him were so outrageous I even had doubts they were genuine. Very foolish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparkafag 746 Posted December 17, 2015 Any kind of ban would be absurdly hypocritical given that this thread is actually talking about a relevant speedway issue while parody accounts can run amok on this forum and basically destroy it. The comments from Cook are inane at best, and insulting to people who fund the sport at worst. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damosuzuki 696 Posted December 17, 2015 If they did this by the means suggested, then obviously you would expect every single promoter to be biased in his own direction. Obviously. And therefore you are assuming or hoping that this bias is cancelled out by the other votes. In a league with only 8 teams, and with each promoter having (different) imperfect information, this can't possibly be the case. Wide open to abuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Cook has insulted many on this forum, the very people that turn up week in week out, sponsor riders and do voluntary work within the clubs. He should be reprimanded for his comments. What is funny is they actually used voting to sort the heatleader list, no one would use biased opinion in a vote would they?

You can just imagine Matt Ford biting his tongue and smiling to himself as they all voted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Jasper 192 Posted December 17, 2015 Common concensus hey... So you are a promoter, you note that a rider of another team has not been included in the list, you then build an arguement to state he should be on the list knowing full well this potentially weakens them. Shambles. Its not even worth responding to the promoters cos its been proved over the many years they will not listen to the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,672 Posted December 17, 2015 John Cook, There's only 1 group of people within speedway that are "thick, biased or both". BSPA is such a group, the problems facing British Speedway are now at a point that they are beyond fixing thanks to you & your friends short sighted fook-ups 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Leslie 3,213 Posted December 17, 2015 Maybe we should no longer score races as 3 points for a win, 2 points for second etc. We should just let the promoters have a vote at the end of the match as to which team they thought should have won. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted December 17, 2015 Where are the posts from those attacking SCB, also attacking Jon Cook? Looks like you will be having an early Christmas break You do get excited when you think someone might get banned. No doubt you'll be let down again. So you're happy with Jon Cook labelling fans as thick/biased? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
