Phillip Addison

Congratulations have to go to Denmark. Fantastically enjoyable meeting, it had everything. The Aussies were extremely unlucky [ as i am tonight with this party with the damned students next door ] Can hardly think with the noise at the moment but what came out for me most was the amazing team spirit of the Danes, reminded me of the Americans of the 80's, as Niels Kristian Iversen said ' all one unit ' Poland can count themselves a bit unlucky with the Hampel crash situation, just a bad piece of track at that time but they battled valliantly and Sweden just never recovered from the terrible start. Fantastic crowd of 18,000 too. Great advert for Speedway.

Oh yes, sorry, lol

Yes, Thank You Danish Webmaster for doing these race cards. I have been using them all week [ from another thread ] but didnt know who had created them. They are superb and make it much easier to follow, seeing which riders are in form during a meeting. You've made a lot of people happy, Top Star !

You are quite right to be proud of your team Niclas, they did do the job properly on the night. I can't see anyone beating the favourites Denmark on saturday but the Aussies do have an outside chance. I always like to pull for the underdog when my team or country are not involved [ hence happy that Scunthorpe have whupped King's Lynn tonight ] So on saturday i am going to shout for Sweden, followed by Poland.

What is it Nicki Pedersen is always saying ? FOCUS !!!

I expected to get some serious stick for my comments on the GB riders especially Richardson, but im surprised i seem to have insulted the prickly Swedes !! Maybe Paivi my Finnish friend will have to explain their sensabilities and sense of humour. But i honestly didnt mean any offence. I was simply trying to say they were in the same boat as team GB with riders but did a much better job. I still think Nicholls and co should be beating Nermark and Ljung. And im NOT a Scott Nicholls fan if you read my post i said he's over rated. But most tmes id expect a GP rider not to be 40 yds behind a PL rider.Bet that doesn't happen in the playoffs.I take offence at some of the comments following about ' football supporters mentality' etc and Subedies generalisation of everything. Well done Sweden and Poland tonight. They both DESERVED to be in the Final. GB were crap [ Tai apart and to a certain extent Harris ] I still think the Danes will win by a clear margin but i would like to see Sweden or Poland win. Thats if im allowed to shout for another team on saturday notwithstanding being an old imperialistic colonialist Brit or whatever crap it was.

I cant take anything out of tonight other than Tai Woffindens showing, and even that didnt surprise me because i think the lad is a fabulous rider. He's something special. I hope people give him the time and space to develop and it will come. The rest ? Oh dear. Richardson reminds me of the proverbial British loser, like Tim Henman. Nicholls is over rated. Kennet tried, perhaps his efforts outweighed the talent early on [ over riding ? ] and was a bit out of his depth in this field but maybe will be a good performer on the world stage in years to come, time will tell, for me the jury is still out. Harris, i dont know what he was playing at when he was on the best gate at the time [ 3 ] actually gated and then drifted into no mans land and promptly got passed by the Swede and Pole. 5 out of 10 for his efforts too. Some may say im being harsh but i dont think so. The Swedes had a Premier League rider in and no disrespect to Peter Ljung but hes not an Elite Leaguer. Also we were told by the opinionated Pearson ' the Poles will struggle on the tight bends of Vojens ' Excuse me ?? We should have been in the mix with both. We were after 9 races but floundered after this point. Also amazed at Jim Lynch in his interview when he said ' We came here to maybe get second, we didnt think we could win, but maybe we've a chance ! ' [ of 1st ] Attitude of a realist ? I think they should have been pumped up to win the meeting outright. But once again for the umpteenth time we watch GB disappoint. Grand Prix riders getting beaten [ easily ] by Premier League riders and Continental riders who dont even ride EL, PL, and im not certain of the Russians pedegree on Polish and Swedish League racing but Harris and Nicholls shouldnt be losing to them. Restored Pride in Pearsons words ?, but for me we came a distant 3rd in a 3 horse race. Tai was a shining bright spot though.

Pearson says Great Britain need a lift from somewhere..... TAXI FOR GREAT BRITAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
