T.N.T no issues mate but if you havent got the time to do this i will take it over if you like?

Cant believe ive actually read what Darcy is saying! Suggesting Smolinski should have a 'yellow card' for what happened Saturday!!!! Pure racing incident he hit a rut!! Daft statement from Ward

i dont like to tar Workington fans with the same brush but 2 of you now have come up with absurd statements

why poke fun at a Brit? Ward is anything but ordinary he is an immense talent it's just the usual Poole mob who big him up to better than he is. He doesn't yet quite cut it at these big meetings and boy does he need to learn to stay on the bike! The accidents weren't his fault but he tends to be in the wrong place a lot if the time

After all the guff and bluster about certain riders should or shouldnt be in look at the NZ GP as proof that we have the best riders. Would anyone have predicted that none of last years top 3 wouldnt make the final? 3 much maligned riders, Smolinski, Lindgren and Bjerre all scored heavily proving they are entitled to be there. Darcy Ward failing to be on the pace. People moan about the likes Lindgren Bjerre and Jonsson being there as they will never be world champion which is a crap argument. Before the start the majority of people would say that the World Champion will come from Tai, NKI, Hampel Holder and Ward so you will always get riders making up the numbers. This Gp has proved our sport is still as great and unpredictable as ever

and shovvy is only spouting his usual garbage because he doesnt actually know the result as in his world there are only 2 riders who can be world champion and thats Holder or Ward.

and the award for the most ridiculous comment on this thread goes to??????????????????????

Well thats a turn up. Woffy clearly far from fit. Holder battling Nicki P again showing his class Darcy looked slow - will have better gp's but still struggles when the pressure is applied so doubt he would have got anywhere. hope he is ok after the crash

If Peterborough cant beat Rye at home then i fear for them against Somerset

Joe Owen Steve Lawson Andy Galvin Marvyn Cox Bobby Garrard

Cracking start to the season and for once we are going to be tough to beat at home. Could afford to carry Rohan tonight and Morten had problems but still a comfortable win. Cam looked sharper and can only get better. Gino was fantastic in his first ever meeting. Think we will always have 2 potent reserves wether Cam or Gino drop down. Don't forget this Rye side won at Peterborough carrying Garrity so very happy with the performance and result

I said in my predictions Rye would be up there and Peterborough wouldn't. No excuses at all for the panthers. R/R got 1 point. This it what happens when you build to top heavy and one or two don't fire. Well done the rockets!

Sorry change it to Batchelor £150 more Lindgren £50 less

Im guessing this isnt for real money lol £200 Batchelor - more £50 Lindgren - less

BUY HOLDER $80 BUY BATCHELOR $20 NEW ZEALAND WARD HAMPEL KASPRZAK IVERSEN BONUS: HAMPEL & KASPRZAK

As an Ipswich fan i can sat Cook was not to blame at the 4tt howvwer he acted like a prat in the incident with Barker. does sometimes come across as thinking he is actually better than he is

and the award for prize prat of the week post goes to?????????????????????

i would hope ward follows the examples set by those who work hard like Tai and Nki. If ward channelled his natural ability properly then he should be champion within the next 3 years. At the moment his application can be questioned. I would have no problem with Ward being world champion

Dear oh dear Poole fans and you wonder why you get reputations! Those of you defending wards past need your heads testing. Look at the daft post from shovlar who likens what ward did to him being drunk and pulling birds! Yep what ward did is exactly the same what a usual pathetic response. Nobody is saying ward didn't grow up a bit last year as he did a bit but to defend his past is a joke

priceless poole fans missing the point yet again. ok ears open. nobody is doubting wards ability what we are all sayin is stop brushing what he did under the carpet as if it never happened. it wasn't a small indiscretion like some are making out and no it wasn't what youngsters do. he is disliked because of these sort of things and until he can prove he has grown up he will continue to be disliked. I for one do not dislike ward as he is a breath of fresh air in our ailing sport. but please stop glossing over what he has done. oh and for your information and the fact that yet again you miss the point the riders you mention are disliked for reasons on the track i.e Mauger rolling at starts, Pedersen hard riding. Not for what they do off the track

Fighting a losing battle here Sidney!

you cant win with some people who just refues to see the facts. shall we look at those then lets see what you think. 1.FLED (yes fled) police whilst being DRUNK (yes drunk) and on DRUGS (yes drugs) 2. On an UNREGISTERED and UNINSURED motorcycle 3. Had an apparant ' bleed on the brain' when involved in a pub brawl. 4. The court case. Now to me those are not things in shovlars words ' i have far worse in my years'. What exactly is your criminal past then shovlar? Matt Ford to give him credit stated 'you cant condone what he has done' yet some still say its ok - laughable. Neil Middleditch went as far to say its what kids do (no it isnt!!) and the most ridiculous statement ' he wasnt racing or putting anyones life at risk on the track' !!!! Thats ok then Middlo so fleeing on a bike and puttin lives of the general public at risk is fine because its not on the track!!! Ward grown up on track? Questionable as still overides and blatantly cheated by laying on thetrack to get a rerun i think against Wolves, which was described by a certain fan as 'they all do it' but when Kildemand did it it was ' cheating' lol at the end of the day he is still the most natural racer around and quite rightly puts bums on seats and may well be getting better at not pratting around. im one for putting the past in the past but for christs sake own up and admit what he did was wrong not just childish antics.

Darcy Ward professional!!!! dont make me laugh shovlar. trying to gloss over what he did just shows how blinkered and blue tinted you are yet for some reason you dont see yourself as a troll. why for once can you not see what the rest of the speedway world sees. You would gain more respect with a simple reply like ' Ward was wrong, very wrong in his past, but i hope that he can mature enough to put that behind him and focus this season' but no you practically defend him. Nobody doubts Wards ability but to try to say he has been an acceptable human being is just plain wrong exactly! Picture of Nicki Pedersen on twitter today with his team and Darcy has commented saying he is taking the preperation to a whole new level. Well guess what Darcy he is a 3x world champion and as of yet you cant hold a candle to him. Why is he a 3x world champion? Because he prepares correctly.

you obviously are still pretty cluless about what people write on here or as usual you just prefer to ignore. Darcy Ward does not have the attitude of a winner. Tai Woffinden and Niels Kristen Iversen have the attitudes of winners. What Ward has is sublime natural talent possibly with the exception of Lee and maybe Loram the best we have ever seen in that respect. If you think he has the right attitude you are the one talking crap not 90% of the posters on here who all realise his attitude is wrong. Being captain of Poole has nothing to do with wether he is liked thats just your paranoia. I have the upmost respect for Chris Holder as both man and rider, unfortunatly in Wards case most people, unless poole fans only, have respect for his riding ability. I would never refer to Ward as a vile piece of scum like oldace did as quite frankly thats pathetic but please stop trying to defend what he has done because there is no defence. Ward needs to realise what he has , which is talent by the bucketloads, and focus that talent and try to become world champion which he has the ability to be but not neccesarily the application.

i dont particularly dislike Ward although it blatantly obvious he has a few character flaws. what annoys most people is that he is so talented but to cocky with it. remember when asked if he would do what Tai did he flippantly brushed it aside. He may or may not have had the wake up call he needs to apply himself but until he does he will be a regular semi finalist without consistently going the extra mile. i would like to see a Ward apply himself with the right attitude and no daft over riding do well. the ignorant brat he portrays himself as would not be a welcome world champion for many.
