Is Blacksmith KKS?

nothing to do with a sense of humour just that its adding nothing to the debate to write sarcasm and try to be clever

if you havent got anything of value worth saying then keep quiet. Your posts are bordering on pathetic and tiresome

Ive been watching Speedway since 1976 and it can only be those who watch through rose tinted specs that think this Edinburgh side is better than the Newcastle side of 1982. They had 6 heat leaders in that side

How much experiance have Kerr and Blackbird had at pl not much! Garrity isnt going to get much better and i doubt Blackbird will at his age. Lets put the Rookies in and see them half a lap behind!! By all means have the likes of Lambert and Kerr around the pits but they should not be in our top 4 by a long chalk. I will be stunned if Garrity or Blackbird ever make a team gb top 4 riders.

Wheres Kennett???????? Lol good old Middlo Anyways i would have picked the same squad bar 2. Tai, Harris and Cook are 3 certaintys to start with by some way in my opinion King and Barker are the next 2. I then think Stead is fully deserving of being next in line on form this season. Bridger would then possibly be next. That leaves 3 spaces. Kerr deserves to be in there. Then for the last 2 i would have had Lambert and Garrity. It shows how bleak the future is when we have 3 fast track riders in Kerr, Blackbird and Garrity fighting out for a place in the top 10 brits. The problems of British speedway run very deep. I remember British Finals in the 90's where if a National League rider got there they were either a supreme young talent. (Loram and Louis spring to mind) or simply having a good semi final (Martin Goodwin for example) Now we are talking about a GB squad where we have to go to riders like Garrity ( premier league reserve earlier in the season) and Blackbird (not even a heat leader in the premier and not the future either) to make a squad up! Its a poor state of affairs

WOFFINDEN HANCOCK KASPRZAK BATCHELOR WOFFY TO SCORE MORE THAN THE OTHER 2 BRITS COMBINED

we are not talking bout the past we are discussing now and MJJ has not gone on from that win. He had falling down the pecking order bit like Janowski. 2 years ago both were on the verge of gp wild cards now they have dropped back behind riders like Kildemand the 2 pawlickis and Dudek to name 4. By your reckoning Harris deserves a place as he has been national champion and won a Grand Prix. Right now forget what he has won riders have improved past MJJ

yep i called someone a numpty and he reported me and i got banned! suffice to say that person has left the forum to the joy of the vast majority on here. He was like a one armed butler. He could dish it out but couldnt take it back at the same time!

The forum now is a much better place. A certain individual has hung up his boots on here and now the threads he used to post on are actually readable and credible again. People used to say i was anti-poole and only posted on poole threads. Now that the one person has left look how many times im on there? hardly any because it now has genuine fans not wind up merchants. Would be good if the mods actually banned the antagonisers and especially the multi aliased one JepsenJensen whatever it is now yet they go unpunished but if you use the word numpty or idiot you are banned! other than that the forum is now all the better than it used to be

For those people who say Ward hasnt got a semi final phobia the stats are: 2013: 9 GP'S - 8 Semi-Finals - 2 Finals 2014: 6 GP'S - 3 Semi-Finals - 1 Final In 15 GP's Darcy has had 11 Semi Finals yet only reached 3 finals - 27% strike rate. Compere that with Tai 2013: 12 GP'S - 10 Semi-Finals - 6 Finals 2014: 6 GP'S - 4 Semi -Finals - 3 Finals In 18 GP's Tai has had 14 Semi Finals and reached 9 Finals. - 65% strike rate They both reached on average the same number of semi finals yet Tai converts into finals hence why he is World Champion. Until Darcy handles the pressure better then he may never get to be champion.

needs to learn not to over ride when in scoring positions and to stop flunking out in the semis

I agree with what you say about Ward needing a wise head. Unforunatly the way the gp system is he hasnt learnt to ride with his head yet. Got passed in his last ride rather than settle for the point. And yet again he bombed out in the semi finals not sure wether its the pressure or not but he does have trouble getting further. His gating and inability to get out of the semis will in my view stop him from being world champion. As for lack of passing i thought the racing was ok. Wards pass on Lindgren was sublime. Tai passed people and so did Batchelor. Ina gp series you are going to encounter hard tracks to pass on. Ward needs to learn how to ride all types of tracks. Its no coincedence that Tai and Iversen are in the top 3 again and Hancock as well. These guys do it on all size tracks. Just because Ward is the most excitig rider in the world it doesnt make him the best rider in the world

Dear me some people. Its pretty darn obvious the top 3 will be Tai, Harris and Cook. Those saying Harris shouldnt be there are seriously deluded. After that its one from King or Barker. Everyone else (bar Nicholls) isnt good enough

WARD HAMPEL MJJ JONSSON 2 Danes in final

get a grip mate. your comments are yet again not worth reading. we are talking about last night and the matter on track. bye

So the Monarchs fans want Garrity to get a ban for his actions, but its ok for Sneddon to swing a punch and draw blood? Ban them both

sorry but you must have been watching a totally different race to everybody else. Pedersen dive bombed him plain and simple. Other riders tried it throughout the night but realised when to shut off. Nicki just ploughed into him. Your defence is laughable. Pedersen had no regard for the rider he knocked off and as everyone is saying is just a coward. If Nicki wasnt guilty then why did he eventually apologise? Quite correct in saying Zagar shouldnt have reacted but he hardly swung a punch. Were you happy when Boycey decked Gollob? Most fans were. You have no arguement edersen was blatantly at fault.....move on

OK MESSAGE FOR TNT AND EVERYONE IN THIS COMPETITION. I WAS BANNED FROM THIS FORUM FOR 14 DAYS UNTIL 15/6/14 I HAVE POSTED EVERY ROUND OF THIS COMPETITION THIS YEAR AND LAST BUT BECAUSE OF MY BAN I COULDNT POST. I WROTE MY SELECTIONS DOWN WHICH WAS AS FOLLOWS. WARD HANCOCK HAMPEL LINDGREN THE AUSSIES TO SCORE MOST POINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE POINTS FROM THESE COULD BE INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH I WAS BANNED. I WILL LEAVE IT TO PEOPLES VOTE. IF NOT I UNDERSTAND (THOUGH I DONT THINK I DONE TO WELL LOL) AND WILL HAPPILY POST FOR THE NEXT ROUND. THANKS

apart from the semi final when 2 riders went past Darcy he definatly lacks concentration dont think its bottle. He literally was asleep when Nicki went passed him. for once he gated well and if he continues like that he will be there or thereabouts. Just needs to learn from Tai on how to close out meetings and make finals not just semis

Congrats Tai that was a world champions performance. Darcy yet again throws it away in the semi. Lost count now how many semis he goes out in. Needs to look at Tai and carry it through

Rye House not really a happy hunting ground for us. To many home riders are dialled in there makes them hard to beat. Garrity at reserve makes them stronger just hope he doesnt pole axe any of our boys as he cant seem to stay on the bike or is very wild

did you hear the whole interview? said he made mistakes and if he had rode properly like he did in lap 4 he would have won. he is big headed ebd of discussion. oh he read out a 60th birthday dedication what that has to do with being a sore loser is beyond me.

Cant say i know the bloke so cant comment. All i can say is what i saw last night he has a very bad attitude, to bigheaded. That said i would like his scoring power in the Premier

Bit of a daft statement. Cook is the best rider in the league and wins probably 90% of his races. Needs to learn how to be a good loser. We wouldnt be having this discussion if it was say Max Fricke as he doesnt win almost every race.
