If he doesn't, he is a straw man 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,033 Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Tbf what does anyone expect it is Rob Lambert and Tai we are doing about. They have never been nice have they? Hopefully they be kept out of British Speedway for the rest of their career, won't hold my breath though. 2 minutes ago, Hamish McRaker said: Nick Morris needs to act decisively over this issue, including imposition of a severe penalty to Woffinden.

A very poor advert for the sport, genrating the WRONG type of publicity. A "WILD card" nomination for the SGP series is appropriate. What with whingeing Lambert (R) on Tuesday and now the swearing Woffinden, our British sports "stars" really do need to be better educated when speaking to the media. Agree re Woffinden, disgraceful behaviour. As for Lambert, I was happy to hear what he had to say after the meeting on Tuesday, it was probably less than 5mins after he'd finished racing, his adrenalin will have been flowing, he didn't swear, he made his points clearly and ended it with a positive statement about getting himself another winners medal on Thursday, which he duly delivered on, can't fault him on that. Unfair to lump the 2 of them together imo. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But breeding will out. As for Tai, as a father of young children, one wonders if that's how he speaks to them, or around them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HGould 2,213 Posted October 6, 2023 Of course the management committee can sort this all out can't they... Oh hang on. Can Mr C Louis and Mr D Bates please leave the Room whilst Mr Godfrey and Mr Ford lift the carpet up and get the broom out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 6, 2023 nw42 … agree that Lambert (R) interview whingeing was a minor incident compared to the downright disgraceful language used by Mr Woffinden. Hopefully we will not see him in British Speedway next season until the p.offs 2024, as he remains a WILD card in the SGP and will be in the Polish Leagues.

Tigerblade 221 Posted October 6, 2023 3 hours ago, Badge said: Well had a night's sleep to get over the disappointment, but am pleased for tigerblade, Kyle, Picko and Jason. We win as a team and lose as a team, and boy has this witches 7 been a team. It has been an absolute joy having Emil race for us and along with Doyley must take the credit (along with Peterborough obviously) for us being in the final. I'm sure Guy is a happy bunny, both his teams winning the end of season trophies. Thank you I've seen Danny King and Erik Riss much maligned on platforms like this, for a long time, but it was mainly down to the efforts of those two in the first leg at Owlerton, that won you the Knockout Cup x 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bash 496 Posted October 6, 2023 Congrats to Sheffield on winning the title. Don't agree with amount of guests they used over the two legs, should've been the same 7 riders in both legs but used rules to their advantage. Can anyone please post the winning times from last night as it was so noisy couldn't hear them being announced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUPERACE 440 Posted October 6, 2023 What I don't get with the woody thing, it's not like he's life long Tigers fan who has ridden for the club for years and has let the emotion get the better of him, he's rode a hand full of meetings. It's very strange behaviour from a professional. I didn't agree with what Robert said on Tuesday night, but he'd just finished the meeting, rode well below his usual standard, and probably let the emotion of the bad night get to him, Woffy had zero excuses.
