so whose lying? 1. Darcy heard about his parents on the 16th. 2. Middlo says he knew about his parents weeks before 3. There is 'other' bad news we dont know about. Such a smokescreen around this no wonder people feel he should have the book thrown at him.

My point is this: 1.) If you feel you need to have a drink because of the break up of your parents then so be it. 2.) You would expect that to turn to drink would be something you would do ALMOST IMMEDIATLY 3) We now hear he knew about his parents breaks up WEEKS before the 16th This can only mean 1 thing Darcy Ward is not in control of his drinking and is a danger to himself and others on the track. He got caught out at the gp but if he is blaming it on his parents break up we are led to believe then that he has been drinking for the weeks leading up to the 16th as if he wants to blame it on his parents why wait weeks before you indulge? The fact his parents split up 'several weeks' before he got caught out is no excuse for drinking on the 16th. Nicki Pedersen has alluded to him being over the limit before and now we can all believe him. If his parents split up weeks ago and he is using it as an excuse then it must be possible he has ridden under the influence during the weeks from the split to the 16th? Maybe he was under the influence in the World Cup as he was shocking

i agree with some sentiments. my parents split when i was 6 and i trashed my room lol. However if at the age of 22 your parents breaking up makes you turn to the drink before you are due to do a professional job in my mind makes him a very weak minded individual. Sure your parents splitting up is hard news but to react the way he did is no excuse. As stated Tai and Emil didnt turn to anything and there issues were far far worse. And no its not rough to have a go at Middlo. He knew the reason Darcy had a drink yet seems to think its fine. His comments inflame fury in people and no wonder if thats the case then why is he drinking on the saturday night several weeks after he heard the news that makes no sense at all! Seems to me that Darcy and those clowns around him are trying to find an excuse to cover up his inability t be anything other than an idiot. The Saturday he drank was the 16th August Lets say he heard the news of his parents on the 1st August, why wait 15 days to have a drink over it??? Huge smokescreen in my opinion and just makes what he did worse as quite clearly there are NO mitigating circumstances

New info came to light over the 'mitigating circumstances' we are commenting on that so i cant see how its repeating other posts.

so as we all knew it wasn't a reason for as professional sportsman to get drunk before riding. Surely Middlo can't back up his mitigating circumstances comment now. If Darcy feels the need to get drunk over his parents break up then perhaps he should have asked Tai or Emil how they coped with a dying parent. It can be dressed up any which way but the fact remains that Ward messed up big time no excuses

hard sometimes dirty yes professional with his routine .............totally Ward isnt fit to be mentioned in the same sentence as Nicki with regards to attitude

Nicki Pedersen is a hard bordering on dirty rider. Nicki Pedersen is also professional in his attitude to his fitness regime and attitude to the sport Darcy Ward isnt and will never achieve close to what Pedersen has done in the sport wil he continues to behave like a lout out of control of his personal life

Ive just read that Darcy feels he doesnt deserve a ban or fine!!!!!!!!!! Who is advising him? He clearly has no remorse what so ever! Absolute joke.

you cant defend him! there is no way he can be defended I simply don't get how you or anyone can! I love to watch Darcy as do everyone else who loves the sport so to say its Darcy haters is quite wrong. As a rider - sublime As a person - disgrace

you need to realise that when you have a clown of a manager who makes moronic comments on twitter that from time to time it will keep popping back up

lol brilliant

Lebedevs Iversen Pedersen Hampel 40 pts - Lebedevs beats Ward

We have been hugely spoilt at Foxhall with John Earrey and Kevin Long, 2 of he best there has ever been. Got to be honest nevr heard much of Peter York apart from the British Finals when i was about 14 from 1990-1995 and i used to like the last lap commentarys back then. But then again it was such a big occasion that it isnt now

not sure who you support but maybe you dont watch/ take notice of the sport? Edinburgh are quite clearly the best team in the league and will be top before the play offs

As much as some of their fans on here are a tad strange there is no doubt Edinburgh are the best team over the season and are worthy champions. Play offs are just daft but i see the 'money' side of it. What happens in the last 'league' meeting if Cook and say Worrall get injured and cant ride in the play offs and another team win it? Sorry in my eyes its wrong As an Ipswich fan we could (possibly but unlikely) be a beneficiary of any Edinburgh bad luck but the best team should be league champions and through gritted teeth in 2014 that is the Edinburgh Monarchs

wrong race. That was a heat Mark needed to come second in to progress. Screen let him through then repeatedly blocked any attempt from a young Jarek Hampel to pass That put Mark into the semis where he came 3rd then needed 2nd in the consolation final which he did behind Golllob in front of Wiltshire and Gustafsson. Your point is valid though as if Mark was 3rd behind Screeny he wouldnt have progressed

your getting beyond a joke. If the manager was someone else a year ago and we came 7th then Rosco would still have done better. Fact is was Pooles manager makes no difference we did better this year than last. So many Poole fans who think the speedway world revolves around all things Poole you really are deluded do you practice looking like an idiot on here or is it natural. Different set of riders back then are you not able to understand what people are saying its last year when we were best by average sides compared to this year when we were 4th. As for Pooles success it's not hard with the skulduggery at that club. Oh and Rosco has done it with 2 different clubs. Try reading what everyone is saying take off those blue tints Just in case anyone is wondering we came 4th this year and the reason is because we are anti Poole!!!!

If you really are that thick to suggest its anti Poole then you ain't all there mate. Same set of riders Muddlo got 7th it's fact.

dear me get a grip! If your not clever enough to get what people are saying then don't comment! Completely different pool of riders back then, we are comparing last year to this and quite clearly Rosco did better then the twitter clown. But yes it's totally anti Poole to compare the facts from last year to this! Laughable pathetic response from a Poole fan. Have a pop at everyone else that's saying it then.

nothing like being pathetic that's what it boils down to. you are being ridiculed on here man

making yourself look aright tool. Look at the riders we had back then to now!!!!!!!!!!!! engage your brain Rosco hs done better with the same riders then Middlo. you turning into shovlar

absolute crap! Middlo 7th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROSCO 4TH can you read?????????????????????//

spot on mate. rosco comes 4th middlo 7th and we are anti poole! love it when people don't use facts and talk out their arse

what a pathetic response! Rosco did better than Middlo FACT!!! Now run along

Really? Holder and Ward as good as Pedersen and Iversen and better than Kasprzak and Hampel Batchelor as good as Kildemand and better than Pepe Doyle better than Mads and maybe on this track not as good as Koldziej So rider for rider they are bang there. All depends on wether Ward stays on his bike for 5 races!
