i agree my first time seeing him and boy he can race. Can't gate for toffee but then again neither could Loram

Was I the only one who thought the other Witches were not exactly busting a gut after Richies crash? Maybe Chris had a quiet word knowing he had lost the skipper didn't really want anyone else in the wars. Main plus for me tonight was Cam right in front of me but not sure had to be a chain or a seized engine as he stopped dead and flew through the air

simmons only in his late career and for all round ability I would put Loram ahead of him

ok I get it you are thick or just trolling. Read my post you fool! We know the Loram family my uncle sponsored him at 15 did you not read it!!!!!!!!! And Titman was way before Mark!

passionate maybe......knowledgeable? hmmm lol your hilarious sort your knickers out. saw far more of Loram than most on here. My uncle sponsored him at 15 handing him money over the pit wall at Hackney through to 19. He came to my uncles and aunts funerals. I have a race jacket from hids first british semi final at sheffield and i my cousin has the one from his British Final in 1997. We followed him all round the country So dont get started on what i do and dont know.

YES HE WAS!!!!!!!!!! Just because those 3 had glittering careers does not alter the fact Risager was as good if not better and more highly regarded at 16. Do you pretend to be thick or is it natural?

Perfectly reasonable example is Risager. Im sure Sidney could start a fight in a room on his own! Justin Elkins, Ben Howe , 2 more examples of riders who didnt go forward. Mark Loram was riding British league at 16 and i think averaged 4.5 from reserve. All depends if Lambert wants it enough or in 2 - 3 years could be another David Howe or Simon Stead. Good riders short of top class you forget Mark Loram. the most talented rider ive ever seen and safe as well im not sure then that you have ever read about speedway properly. Risager was always dubbed the 'new Nielsen' and at 16 was probably ahead of Nielsen and Gundersen at that age, Very selective memory you have Yes he was try reading what people are telling you.

Well being a Mark Loram fan and my family sponsering him at a young age im biased, but surely the Swedish Gp in 1999 has to go down as one of the greatest races ever seen. That is supreme skill on a bike, i remember once chatting to Greg Hancock and he always said nobody could ever work out how Mark used to get his wheels in line so quickly. Also the British Final run off in 1997 was a great race. Also on the Loramski the legend dvd there is a race with Mark, Havvy, Hamill and Hancock at Poole. If someone could upload a clip of that it was 4 racers hard but fair and the throttle control of all of them was fantastic. Other than Mark i would say Jan O'Pedersen overtaking 7 world class riders takes some beating

Lets be honest the speedway star have been shocking in their journalism on the Darcy Ward issue. But I don't see an issue with him being on the front cover after all it is the big speedway news. Would be nice though if they took him to task inside and actually gauged the reaction of speedway fans rather than Darcy, Middlo, Pooles press office or Poole fans but I guess as usual the star will find it shocking he is banned

im getting a bit bored and fed up with Darcy Ward now. I said it should have been a 12 month ban and it was 10 so thats fair enough. I like most people want to see Darcy Ward back on a bike. Im sure we all hoped he would accept he did wrong and take his punishment and keep his head down for the next 3 months. But no the jumped up twerp starts gobbing off again. He has learnt nothing and still feels he is above the law and the sport. He is now becoming a disgrace to the sport. Lets hope he appeals and fails and gets a bigger ban, because now that is what he deserves. Try to show the fans you have grown up and moved on but the prat instead continues to be an even bigger prat. Quite clearly he is a lost cause and no the sport doesnt need him

you are one very strange individual with your comments

so your not a fan of Middlo then so i apologise. I have no desire to do the 5 hour trip to Poole thanks. Went to the Mark Loram farewell last time i was there. Why do you not think i would tell people to their face what i think. I wouldnt be rude i would just ask him to explain his daft and ridiculous statements. Middlo's twitter rants show him in a poor light you must agree with that.

I would tell them gladly to their faces. Ward kept backtracking time after time over the amount of time the FIM took. He did know then he didnt then he did. Middlo spouts rubbish time after time on social media and is quite happy calling fans retards from behind a keyboard. If you think Middlo comes out of this with any credit you are deluded

Its not about blame but both sides of the story surely. The star was happy to print lots of stuff from the mouths of those affected like Ward and Midlo but nothing to say what a fool Darcy was in the first place. The star printed lie after lie that fell from Middlos and Darcys mouths so in effect they were blaming the FIM when quite clearly the FIM did nothing wrong It was one way traffic and the 'woe is me' crap peddled out by those involved Poor poor journalism

Spot on, but the star didnt go down the route of blaming Ward in anyway and were more keen to print the guff and bluster that Middlo was coming up with week on week

whats it got to do with intelligence? The star printed 1 side of the story and 1 side only. We had to read the ramblings of the fool Middlo and interpret them as gospel. No mention of the CORRECT procedures and length of time being normal just Darcy being hard done by. The star was wanting the speedway world to feel sorry for Poole for Darcy even Muddlo when quite frankly the majority weren't. A bit of proper journalism would have been to seek out what people thought by looking at Twitter and social media and perhaps report on that and even go as far as discussing some of the stuff Middlo wrote from the 'retard' comment to the downright daft things he says. But that wouldn't tow the party line. I've bought the star for years and will continue to do so as I love our sport but the way the Ward story was handled was appalling.

Are people actually saying Ward should get the wildcard for the British GP? Come on people get a grip there is no way Ward or Sayfutdinov or Laguta or Vaculik or anyone else who isn't a Brit get the wildcard. It's nothing against Ward though the usual bunch of sycophants will say different, but our wildcard should go to a Brit. Let Darcy ride in the Australian round. I bet these people who want Darcy also moaned the year Harris was given the nod and not Nicholls when they changed the rules that year. Top scoring Brit other than Tai or Bomber should ride end of story. Darcy Ward should only be watching at Cardiff (unless he is in the bar lol)

No disputing Ward is great to watch. But dont be so daft as to say the sport needs him - it doesnt The sport coped quite well from August last year and i didnt miss him in the Grand Prix

So as everybody said there was no wrong blood there was no faulty equipment no off duty policeman. The simple fact was Ward got caught and has paid the price and still the little twerp goes on twitter and has a pop at the FIM. Clearly he hasn't learned anything at all from this and I'm guessing it won't be long till he is in more crap.

10 month ban is fairly acceptable though he has got off lightly. Lets hope it's a wake up call but I doubt it

well my dads bigger than your dad. jeez the way you debate is quite unreal, then again i guess you lack the intellect. Please go back over any posts ive made and then see afterwards how many people post about what i write. Please go back over my posts and see how many are ridiculed Please go back over my posts and see the number of likes i get. Now do the same for yourself: After you post you get 4 or 5 posts from other members destroying what you wrote. Most of your posts are ridiculed by most people The only people who now and again like your posts are skidder and pugwash, 2 Poole fans. If you have gone right through the Ipswich thread and the Edinburgh , Kings Lynn, Somerset, threads you will see ive posted on all of them recently which is something you choose to ignore. If you are going through diferent threads to find my posts thats a bit sad. As i explained to you the biggest topic in our sport is Darcy Ward so i will choose to post on here when and as i want to. He always attacks the poster as im sure he struggles to actually debate

I dont suffer fools or trolls. I dont hound certain members but if you are thick or trolling then i will comment. I should shut up sometimes i know that but when dealing with idiots its hard not to respond. The people who do the trolling are the people just as responsible Funny how it seems to be the same people are ridiculed time and again though by lots of different members , yet they cant see why

please stop having a go at Middlo. Starman and Pugwash will be on here accusing you of being in 'my gang' How dare any of you think for yourselves! You are so easily led in the hatred of Poole gospel im spreading.

yes I'm obsessed its quite boring the same old rant. You need to check the Ioswich thread again as I commented about the visa situation re Tungate and Gino. I've also commented on the Lynn Swindon Edinburgh and Somerset threads but you ignore that. I'm a speedway fan and the biggest news in speedway is Darcy Wards upcoming ban so yes I will be on this thread more than any other. Try reading what Red Panda wrote about debate and opinion and learn from that. Now just got to round up the other 5 members of my gang and think up some more hatred for Poole

I'm not worried if people agree with me this is a forum which means its about debate which 1 or 2 on here cannot do. I've stated I don't like Matt Ford and that won't change. I also think Middlo has gone way down in a lot of people's estimation with the way he has acted. And in Starmans crazy world he feels all of us think Ward needs a long ban when in reality he has never backed that up. Ward should be allowed to ride again in August. Now I know that if foreverblue or chris4gillian or skidder disagreed with any if that they would put it in an adult way and one which could be discussed, this is something clearly lacking in 2 Poole fans vocabulary as if you say anything they don't like they can't debate and resort to name calling. As I say I will never like Ford and decent Poole fans can tell me I'm wrong in a proper way. Idiots can't be debated with
