Not listed Probably someone pulled the plug cos it was something that actually benefitted fans.

Just as you can choose to donate or not, so you can choose whether to answer or not. FWIW in the circumstances I think it was a legitimate question to ask.

It's all about opinions isn't it I've never been impressed by Risager but can't honestly say how old he was when I saw him ride I can remember Michael Lee and Lambert doesn't impress me in the way he did. Don't get me wrong Lambert IMO is good but I don't think it's the natural talent that Lee had. Lambert's is more acquired skill, and damn good skill at that. Lee tho had that indefinable something that Darcy also had when he first came over. Looking at all three of Lambert, Lee and Ward I think in the long run over a whole career (injuries permitting) Lambert will probably be the most successful, simply because he IMO is the most grounded and level headed and works at his craft rather than relying on his natural talent. I just hope he stays that way.

I realise that but it's not exactly on a par with Denmark/Sweden GB IMHO.

Genuine question SCB - was Risager riding in the Danish league at the same time? or any other league? If he was he had an advantage. Lambert because of intransigent rules/ruling body could only ride in one league.

If this for real? I ask because it hasn't created the furore I would expect. As far as I can tell it hasn't even elicited a response from him with a small g and he never fails to have a pop at things on the BSF. If it is just a wind up, my quoting it is ....well to quote someone infamous "what all doddery old gits do nowadays" The replies it has had have had me crying and laughing at the same time

They could have printed the FIM guidelines about the possible 45 day wait and quoted a few examples from other motorbike disciplines giving their timelines. It would not have been difficult to research, plenty of BSF members managed to find them . Apologies if the SS did do that, I haven't read it for years due to an allergy to propaganda

Has Muddlo made any utterances yet? Or has someone gagged him and superglued his tweeting fingers together?

On the face of it I would agree and he should have been treated as others who were guilty of similar offences but we only know what's basically hearsay and conjecture. The FIM heard all the evidence, have passed judgement so I'll settle for that. However I personally don't think he should receive GP wild cards in 2015 with the possible exception of Australia.

It really wouldn't be a problem would it, after all they do have the best team manager in the league who gets the very best out of all his riders

do you know something Mudllo doesn't Seriously- Clive Featherby - never a dull moment when he was about.

Who informed them? The tea lady! I honestly cannot see anyone connected with the FIM even hinting at special treatment. Probably what was said was they would do it as fast as possible, which presumably is how they process all cases.

Total irony in a piece on the Pirates site today about visas. Quoting Matt Ford it says I assume Muddlo is the exception that proves the rule On second reading maybe he is calling Ward a tool

Middlo will announce it on Twitter of course

Just to make my stance clear, I think the timescale is unacceptable in all cases not specifically the Ward case. I understand an instant decision is not possible or maybe even desirable but even allowing for consultation and/or clarification of points of law/rules 45 days is excessive, but as others said once lawyers are involved you expect it!

I don't think the timescale is acceptable either and I have absolutely no sympathy for Darcy Ward. Not sure why you bring SCB into it, but as it happens I'm well aware of his view on this as I tend to read his posts because he is usually balanced and non abusive. I have better things to do with my time, but I assume they are right minded individuals so therefore think the timescale is unacceptable also. Exactly where did I try to implicate anything between the SS and The BSPA? You may think that's what I had in mind but only I know. That's the trouble with forums, people think they know what others are thinking from words that are written. Use slightly the wrong word and world war 3 breaks out. i.e someone says Darcy was "drunk" meaning over the limit allowed by law and forum members go off as if he has been accused of and committed murder.

Why pathetic? Do you think the timescale is acceptable? Or Do you think the BSPA think the timescale is acceptable? If you answer yes to either of those I accept your opinion that my comment was pathetic. However if the answer to either is no, how can my comment be pathetic?

That is a different issue from the one being debated on this thread, or it should be from the title! Maybe the time scale of FIM deliberations could be the subject of an SS editorial feature, after all it wouldn't upset the BSPA would it

Me neither. Trees often confuses me, this time she's almost rendered me speechless!!!!!!

Thanks SCB. Hardly earth shattering enough for 40 pages then

Back on topic hopefully. I can't trawl through pages of non related stuff so would some kind soul tell me which riders are not getting a work permit please.

It is difficult I agree. I find it helps to repeat 5 times before touching the keyboard. "I will not lower myself to their level" Doesn't always work tho

I wonder if you and many others would have thought the same if he had ridden in that GP, been involved in a crash that caused another rider to be injured and been tested after the meeting and found over the limit?

Now I don't believe everything I read on twitter but one tweet that Middlo has retweeted appears to infer (using my words carefully here ) that he called someone a retard on twitter. Not exactly sure why he felt the need to retweet it but there ya go. If that is the case Middlo can have absolutely no complaints that he has been reported to the SCB.

I find it strange that the message at the top says when we are constantly being bombarded by people telling us we should not give away personal information For the record I'm not male and have been attending speedway for 50 years this year.....work it out for yourselves
