Gavan

he cant name facts its beyond him. he just rambles on let him have his fun! depends if you would rather ride around Nicki or ride around someone intoxicated i guess

to late for Pedersen to be remembered!! what utter garbage the man is a 3 time world champ!! what will Darcy be remembered for?? spot on thats a bit of a daft statement. a legend is a legend irrelevent of wether you like them. personally i cant stand Pedersen but open your eyes to his achievements

Kelly Moran died of an illness Sidney. During his speedway career he wasnt ill , he just lived the party life and basically he could have achieved a whole lot more if he dedicated himself to the sport. This is where im comparing him to Ward or are you not clever enough to see it!! Im sure me an Arson are waiting still for you to come of with 20 riders who were greater than Nicki Pedersen??????? My all time favourite rider was Mark Loram. Do i think Mark is a nicer guy than Nicki? Absolutly Do i think Mark was more exciting? Absolutly Do i think Mark was a fairer rider? Absolutly Was Mark greater than Nicki? Absolutly Not Get your head out your backside

lol your pathetic. Lets take a look at Darcys record in the world championship then you tell me in your brainless little world if you think he has done a full year in the world championship. 2011 - one wildcard appearance 2012 - declined a wildcard 2013 - finished 8th and missed 3 gp's with injury 2014 - got to drunk to finish the series so yes he HAS HARDLY DONE ONE SEASON!!! what planet are you on??? Compare Nicki's record 2000 - 20th 2001 - 11th 2002 - 12th 2003 - 1st 2004 - 5th 2005 - 4th 2006 - 3rd 2007 -1st 2008 -1st 2009 -6th 2010 - 10th 2011 - 10th 2012 - 2nd 2013 - 5th 2014 -3rd Think young Ward has quite some way to go before being mentioned in the same breath as Nicki name me 20 riders who have a better record than Nicki? I cant stand Pedersen as a rider but you are talking rubbish to name 20 riders who have achieved more. Of course there are fairer and better liked riders but talking about greats has nothing to do with how fair they are or how well liked they are. And with regards to Kelly Moran im merely pointing out he tarnished his reputation with a lot of his off track antics and Ward is doing the same. I have heard numerous stories about Kelly Moran mainly from a good friend of mine who was Mark Lorams mechanic in the late 80's early 90's. He was South African and he has told us some of the things that Kelly got up to whilst in South Africa. It of course is sad he is no longer here but his 'lifestyle' definatly affected what he achieved. I have no issue with Ward , the boy just isn't a nice human being. All the talent in the world but continually fails to show it. After that stunning wildcard appearance in 2011 did you or anyone think we would be midway through 2015 and he isn't in the series and the best he has finished is 8th? Its nothing to do with his riding but his off track activitys.

Its laughable that people compare Nicki and Darcy. Ones been a multi world champion the other had achieved little of note so far. Nicki has been at the top rank of world speedway for over 10 years. Darcy hasn't really managed 1 year so far. Nicki has so much dedication and the correct attitude and Ward is just a troubled fool. As said many times its up to Ward to become a great but he doesn't seem to have the mentality. Ward will be remembered like a Kelly Moran the way he is going.

he was fit last time just couldn't be bothered as hates the place. Rode in Poland then pulled out of the first staging of this meeting but yet was fit enough a few days later to smack in 5 wins in a gp. Call me synical!

are you honestly saying you would have Leigh Adams above Nicki Pedersen in a list of great riders! In what respect? 3 x world champion against a two time rostrum placer! By your reckoning Jarek Hampel must be better then Nicki? Don't get me wrong as a person Adams is miles ahead but as a rider achieving greatness he is behind Nicki. no he isnt. I would say Mark Loram was more naturally talented than Darcy If you are looking for the word great in relation to speedway riders than Adams shouldn't be in the top 20. My favourite ever rider was Loram but even with only 1 world title I'm not sure he would make my top 20. Nicki Pedersen has to be in the top 20. Darcy Ward! Laughable to call him great he hasn't achieved anything of note yet. I say yet because the potential is there to be great but sadly the attitude isn't. My list would be Mauger Rickardsson Fundin Briggs Hancock Pedersen Nielsen Gundersen Olsen Penhall Craven Crump Lee Collins Ermolenko Wilkinson Jan O Pedersen Gollob Jonsson and ok for sentiment Loram. I don't think you can be classed as a true great without at least 1 world crown. Riders like Adams Knudsen and Morton for example were fantastic in the leagues but lacked something extra

i would say Garrity is reckless rather than dirty. Check out some of the moves Newman pulls before preaching about others

I'm sure some people watch meetings with blinkers on! My team are in the Premier league so I'm not an elite league snob. I've seen good and bad meetings at all tracks and that was boring. If you led out of turn 2 that was that. Peterborough can be just as boring as any other track. Just because it's fast doesn't make the racing better. Look at Berge when he made the gate he couldn't be caught apart from Kurtz knocking him off. The match at Glasgow was a good advert for our league but this wasn't

Ive said it before Peterborough can be a huge yawnfest and it is tonight. Has anybody actually passed anyone apart from a mistake? Good luck Nigel and Kelvin trying to jazz this up! Fast track doesn't always equal good racing this is turgid

I find it quite incredible that fans can support a foriegn rider over a Brit. If you are a fan of Leicester then your supprt should be with Tai , Bomber and Cook. Not Doyle. By all means cheer Doyle on in a race where there is no Brit involved. Seen this so many times over the years Cradley fans in the 80's and then more recently Poole fans supporting Holder Ward and Magic. At Ippo we had Gollob TR and Louis in the series and i would cheer Chris on against the other 2. Once Chris was out and the other Brits then yes i would cheer on Tony or Gollob

almost correct. Lee did storm off but never got changed. The interview was in his leathers and he said the rule was killing speedway. Asked wether he was going to ride he said he had to it was England. I think the incident is on You Tube

I think ive read it all now when I see people actually saying they like to see crashes as it adds to the enjoyment! Well personally (and these are the only ones ive seen 'live') it wasn't much fun seeing Paul Muchene slid off slowly but right under the wheel of the poor Nick Floyd. It wasn't great fun seeing Frede Schott and Brett Saunders crash dramatically at Foxhall one night. I didn't really enjoy seeing Andy Galvin's career practically be over twice, once in a broken leg at Rye House and once a broken neck at Arena. And then finally the great Mark Lorams career ending crash that destroyed the back straight at Foxhall. What Pedersen did to Hancock THIS TIME was in my eyes hard not dirty. Nicki quite rightly was excluded. What Hancock did was inexcusable absolutely but sometimes enough is enough. When Boycey punched Gollob it was for the same reasons the riders had had enough. To be fair Gollob seemed to change an awful lot after that punch, maybe he realised he needed to change and im sure most fans now don't see Gollob as dirty, hard maybe but not unfair. Unfortunatly its probably to late for Nicki to change. He cant pass people without basically almost putting them out the race. If he needs to know how to pass people fairly he needs to study Loram and yes even Darcy. If you want to see hard and fair racing im sure there is a link somewhere to a race at Poole between Havvy, Loram, Hancock and Hamill. Watch them throw the bikes at each other but never dangerous always showing respect for their opponent

Unfortunatly Poole have the lions share of terrible fans. Tends to tarnish it for the decent ones

Ok your rants about Hancock are getting beyond the pale. If you think that was Greg wiping someone out than all I can suggest is you don't see a lot of speedway. He moved over as Vaculik was about to chop back. Its a racing incident where Greg was at fault happens all the time. This whole thread has been taken over by people who either: a. cant stand Hancock (bwitcher) b. cant stand Nicki (that idiot from poole arya) The posts from these 2 should be ignored as they don't have the intellect to debate it seems, and in Bwitchers case said the incident was 50/50 as to who should be excluded lol From an impartial point of view Nicki Pedersen has had it coming to him for a long time. This incident wasn't that hard compared to the other stuff he has done throughout his career but it was the straw that broke the camels back the other riders are fed up with his antics. It was a shock it was Hancock who did it to be fair but they have got previous. Hancock himself was out of order and the statement afterwards didn't show him in a good light. I do like the posts about the other riders giving Greg an easy time!!! What a load of old tosh! He makes the starts and when on song they don't get near him If he is caught he doesn't battle and doesn't ride dirty and leaves riders room so no you wont see a lot of elbows flying when people pass him. But whatever way you look at it Nicki is box office and are people going to Cardiff wanting to see Nicki or Greg? Nicki I would say.

you need to stop posting and think about what you write. you wish Nicki to break his neck what a morinic statement. oh and for your info the move THIS TIME by Nicki was not that hard no mate ive had a ban for calling someone a numpty. you on the other hand are posting what can only be decribed as quite sick and disgusting comments

and another pathetic response. is it just Poole fans that write crap on here! applauding Darcy - unbelieveable but then again on the south coast you idolise idiots

i expect nothing more from you and your quite sad pathetic posts. look at everone on this thread moaning at you. now do yourself a favour and just keep quiet

Im sorry i usually agree with you on most things (mainly the Poole idiots like starman and arya who needs a ban) but i think you are wrong on this one. Greg was taken off it wasnt 50/50 Pedersen rightfully was excluded. However i agree there have been far worse , far harder moves in racing and there was no need for Greg to react the way he did and he quite rightly deserves a ban or even a fine. The issue is that Pedersen is a hard rider bordering on dirty at times so most things he does are blown up out of proportion at times. What is funny is that jumped up little twerp Darcy Ward gets involved!! He has the audacity to have a pop at Pedersen! This is a man who was prepared to put every other riders lives at risk by riding under the influence. He also mocks Nicki blocking him. Well Darcy blocked me and many others when we dared to criticise him what a hypocrite! Well done Darcy showing what you are! I hope BWitcher we dont fall out over differing agreements on this one as ive not been abusive

I 100% look forward to him racing again However he clearly is not a nice person and as everybody blatantly saw he just has no remorse and im guessing there will be more issues in the troubled life of someone so talented. Clearly as a Poole fan you must see Magic as the better rider and so much more profesional

havent been on here for 3 weeks so just voicing my opinion

To be frank im bored of Darcy Ward now. The kid clearly has issues and is no nearer to becoming a grown up. The interview on sky was the ideal opportunity to apologise to the speedway world , not just his sycophant cronies, but instead he didnt even bother. When asked if he felt it was his last chance he said no!. What else can he do that he thinks he can get away with? His role call: May 2012: Hotel Room Oct 2012: Fight Feb 13: Under the influence Aug 14: Latvia So how many chances does he get as a human being? In his lets be honest small little head he feels he isnt in last chance saloon. As a human being he is scraping the barrel. Natural talent on a bike yet chooses not to bother to achieve. Needs to take a good look at what Tai has done in his career. Woffinden is now light years ahead of Ward

Garrity is reckless as he over rides which sometimes causes him to fall and other times puts other riders on the deck. Newman is far more in control of his machine but lets just say he has previous for being a little bit naughty at times. Around Poole he could outscore Garrity But as for who is the better rider with the most potential thats clearly Garrity

After having a small sabbatical from the forum this is how i see this meeting. The fact is the meeting should never have started. The track and weather were in bad shape before a wheel was turned with the promise it was only going to get worse. Lets be honest Sky forced the meeting to go ahead. Once it had started it was quite clear by heat 7 it had to be called off. However yet again because we are on tv it carrys on. Coventry should have been protesting at that point. By the end of heat 8 it 100% needed to be cancelled. It was quite clear that the official refused a track inspection when it needed to be done. He then agreed to a track inspection after heat 9 which he failed to do. So who is to blame? No way are Coventry to blame and i wholly agree with them making a stand for heat 10. No way are Poole to blame. They got out there and rode and did what any other team would have done. I cant stand Ford, Middlo is a fool and a couple of their fans on here are not exactly clever , but they did nothing wrong here unlike the Belle Vue fiasco. The blame lies with Sky and the officials. The match should possibly have been called off before the start, probably been called off after 8 and most definatly after heat 9.

Im just wondering why the meeting wasn't abandoned as the track was far worse than Warsaw that produced overtaking? Was the starting mechanism fine? Or am I being cynical?? What a farce of a series
