CB252 1,376 Posted October 1, 2023 Excluding people from something due to their race or nationality is surely the antithesis of woke? Some thick people on here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 1, 2023 Ah yes Lagoota, the unbeatable rider at Kings Lynn. Frankly please or offend I don’t trust ANY Russian sports men or women given the continuing scandal in athletics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woffy had no divine right to be in the GPs, & never enters the qualifiers, so I can't see any reason for him to have a strop (if he did). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite likely, but he qualified so deserves his chance. One downside of having 5 wildcards is some top riders not entering the qualifying system as they'll expect a wildcard. So you could get riders qualifying but being out of their depth in the GPs. But despite thier poor seasons, riders like Przedpelski deserved & Nilsson 100% deserved to be in the GPs, besides - someone has to finish bottom.

Virtue Signallers pandering to Ukraine by punishing innocent Russian people who haven't done anything wrong is Russophobia. No reason why Emil and Laguta can't compete in the GP's under a neutral flag or something like they do in British Speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do wonder why hubby paid for the other rubbish Apologise for a late reply..... I am with Discovery+. I understand to get Eurosport I would need Sky. For 2023 Discovery+ was £60 and I seen all 10 GPs, the Speedway of Nations, British Championship, plus a good number of British Premiership matches.... and they are still ongoing.

The problem is more the quality, when I pay for something I expect a decent product. Stream freezes, sound is missing etc. graphics are terrible. Just don’t get me started on the quality and accuracy of the commentary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
