Many riders do these desperate mad moves now and then but the point about Nicki is HE does this stuff all of the time. He is just a big bully but does not have the bottle to back it up as we saw when he ran away from Zagar and hid in the pits where he knew he would get protection. The man (and I use the word loosely) is a coward and the most annoying thing is he is a great rider and does not need to do this stuff.

Lets hope not as him and Sam are one of the funniest double acts since Eric and Ernie.

Please God get Sam a job commentating on Polish speedway it would be the funniest thing ever.

Don't wanna talk about the match but it's so funny when we get heats with riders with Polish names and Sam ends up mixing them up. And the pair of them don't seem to know the basic rules of the sport. Funny as Sam was World Champion

Polish guys are great even if you don't speak Polish but these two muppets are just sooooo funny. Respect to Jack if he was a mate of Tiger Tom Leadbitter a great rider and character.

To be honest I doubt you will miss much

This commentary is comedy gold. They can't even differentiate between white and yellow even when they have a helpful caption Who the hell is Vazulac. Thank Christ Pepe Protasiewicz isn't riding.

ONLY Greg showed any grit and he got thrown out for it. Lets hope we get more Greg as he might wake this lot up. Does anyone know how old Pontus Aspgren is?

Zorro wheel to wheel with Miedzinski. Sam has gone mad

Jack has just outdone himself with that 9 all comment. Aren't there some zoo animals they could get to do the commentary as a couple of racoons could make more sense Entertaining though it has to be said and we do get to know how old everybody is

good call with the water truck

'Billy Forsberg could be coming out' are they mental?

compared to our lot that may be true. Been pampered with excellent Polish commentaries this last couple of weeks but now back to whatever language these two retards are speaking. They have already not realised Pontus Aspgren is not riding. I await heat one commentary with trepidation and delight. and its a classic already. do these idiots actually get paid.

Yes a case of rose tinted specs there by Erik. Fair enough Nicki is a fellow Dane.

Yes but surely you would concede that someone with a long standing reputation as a hard man who kicks out, at someone who has stood up to him, like a girl and then runs away to stand safely behind his colleagues whilst laughing and swearing as the person he kicked out at confronts him again.................. is in fact a big sissy. I think NP was wrong and I like the guy he does not deserve a ban. Maybe a severe talking to or even a tw#t in the mouth as he is getting a bit dangerous. He no longer has a hard man reputation as he is a little coward and his actions were that of a bully with balls of clay. It was just luck that both he and Zagar were able to show that the tough image of speedway riders is perhaps all front as they both fought like a pair of pansies. Jack Millen could have laid them both out on the track and he's dead. If you are going to play the hard man it is an advantage to actually BE one. Nicki showed us all on Saturday what he is

I found one here http://speedway.manchesterpaul.net/racecards.html#2014extr can you make the above one a bit bigger I don't think they can quite see it from Saturn

Can't argue with that. But wish we had had the POs in the 70s and 80s. The one off World Final had had it's day by the mid 80s the GP format has been a breath of fresh air and as you rightly say far better racing than the old system. People go on about the '81 Penhall final at Wembley but I was there and the racing was in the main poor although the atmosphere was something special. As you say the Euro leagues have grown in stature and as a result our league has become stagnated. Crowds have disappeared and investment in the sport has all but gone with them. The answers are there but nobody in authority seems to care. Racing is the #1 priority for the sport. Who cares if the big names are there if it's exciting to watch. The best matches I ever saw were at the old NL level back in the 70s and 80s. But we all know our sport and realise nobody is listening to the customers. How long before the sport finally arrives at it's destination and realises it's been going nowhere for 20 years

I am a big Nicki fan but he is either insane or just plain dirty. I remember in the WTC when he tried to pass a Russian on the outside through a gap you could not get a pencil through. The Russian was sent flying and then in a pit interview NP whined that it was the Russians fault and the ref was wrong to exclude him. He has indeed been on the wrong end of decisions but most of his problems are caused by his own actions when he goes in too hard or just tries to get through gaps that are not there. Banning him would be crazy as he is TV gold but he does need a good thumping. His hard man image is just an illusion after he ran away from Zagar on Saturday. Like all bullies he is just a big blowhard coward so next time hopefully someone will lay the bloke out and maybe, just maybe, knock some sense into him. We will miss him when he is gone from the sport but he seriously needs to realise just how dangerous some of the things he does are both for himself and those he does it to. It's a shame as he is one of the few really talented speedway riders

caught up with the match via that great Polish guy who puts stuff on youtube Enjoyed it Rospiggarna have a solid side. Be nice if Harris started to ride like he used to though. He wastes too much time on stinking out GPs. Hopefully Eurosport will show the match tomorrow as I would like an English commentary for a change Looking forward to seeing Smederna and that Laguta bloke everyones talking about :)

Decent match. Enjoyed it. Tarnow too strong in the end but decent effort from Wroclaw

Wuffy is well and truly BACK. Hope the lad gets that 2nd title. A shame he is gonna end up on the losing side today but that's speedway Wasn't a bad speedway rider either. I think by then he was just showing off.

Tarnow are a good bet for the title as they have probably the best top 6.

Good start by Tai. Using activetv as sopcast a bit cranky

Unlike Nicki's kicking Matty like a girl then running away to hide in the pits to laugh and swear at Zagar knowing officials and pit crew were there to protect him. I love watching NP but thought he was a tough character instead he proved he was a blowhard coward whose bark was way worse than any bite he has. Zagar at least had the guts to confront Nicki without hiding behind his pit crew. He needs to work on his punching though.

Same goes for Jamrog. Shadow of his self from last couple of seasons. Lindback better there though
