totally agree.been saying the same myself for years

i didn't notice much flying around by the danes against us,i thought it was more a case of them sitting behind us waiting for the mandatory mistake

truth is leanne,nicholls should have beaten all 5 czech riders,ljung and nermark,and picked up another 2 or 3 points from the rest,so 4 points was 5 or 6 less than acceptable,but i fail to see how the others failed to perform to their relevant abilitiy.

make no mistake leanne despite his lack of big scores in the elite,jonas davidsson is an immensely talented rider who will soon be a fixture in the gp's

dont forget the danes were not in that meeting leanne,and their vastly superior team won 15 of the 25 races last night

he didn't have the same chance as everyone else,because he doesn't have the same ability as everyone else.

no your almost there,but the point is,scott IS a winner,5 british titles prove this,however he is only a winner in his class,and his class is light years away from the worlds elite,who gollob and hancock aside are all danish,australian or swedish.

yes,by then the russians will be much better than us as well

how many times recently has hans been winning a race,that has been stopped,and then lost the re run!

dont let paulco read it,he cant abide the mere possibility of a speedway rider being gay.

he scored the same as tomicek,and he had an extra ride(joke) do you think with charlie and mads waiting in the wings the danes are considering axing andersen,he was (by danish standards)a huge disappointment last night. what about sweden,jonsson is considered their top rider but he was outscored by davidsson and lindgren. time for a change?

truth is the czech's were about as much a serious threat to us as we were to the swedes and danes. they ran last in 15 heats. lets try to be realistic.

what a ridiculous post,cutting off your/our nose to spite your/our face is not the answer. nicholls is the best rider we have,he is british champion,a position he has held for 5 of the last 7 years,he clearly is not among the worlds elite,but our side would be all the poorer for his abscence. let all try to keep a sliver of perspective.

at one point we were only 2 points behind denmark,and were WITH the joker in hand. were we a threat?

woffinden is not old enough to drink is he? and i doubt if the others have earned enough this season to afford to get drunk in denmark.

we finished on 25.5 points and the czech's finished on 13,how were they ever a threat to us? and we both scored 0,from our joker

the best solution would be to finish third behind the above two,and consolidate our current standing as worlds 5th best team. this way we avoid the ignominy of the guaranteed last place in the final. also,lets kick out the scots,welsh and northern irish,they are clearly holding us back

maybe he is patronising because so many people fail to grasp the basic facts of our sport. how many threads are there now connected with last night match ? so many people seem shocked that we were abysmal last night,why ? nicholls had a poor night,and is capable of better,but how often does that happen when he rides at the highest level ? harris is only really of use when there is dirt on the outside,and the other three performed exactly to their capabilities. maybe lynch should have selected a different team,but whoever he selected we would still have finished third,because AND GET THIS ............................................ we were the third best side there!! patronising enough for you.

actually nicholls is very trim these days

cant agree with the above star lady,i wouldn't sing the national anthem if my life depended upon it.

so nicki and hans did not have the beating of davidsson tonight,but kennett did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll have tug of what your smoking!! oh and by the way did'nt allen beat ljung and nermark?

if you were the fastest 100 metre runner in britain rob,you would be off to peking to represent us,but if your personal best was 15 seconds,you would come last. you would not bottle it,just not be good enough. why were they selected,who knows? i am not the manager,but whoever was selected we would not have beaten the danes or swedes

the point is rob they did not bottle it,they are just not good enough

fair point,but i have no doubt even bridger thinks he'll make the gp's.

about as proud as the poole fans on saturday watching watt,or tonight not watching erikkson and davidsson(d) who wern't even good enough to be selected
