  1. love reading the blue tints missing the point time after time after time. we do not have the class of rider to be a threat at the wtc. Nobody expects a new manager to come in an turn us into finalists!!! missing the point by a mile as always they do in dorset. you expect your manager to motivate, inspire, get decisions correct and at least beat Latvia and the USA. the whole country knew kennett should never have been picked middlo then goes on twitter to rant at fans!! in football you would expect a Mourinho or Wenger to do better than say Jol at Fulham. Doesn't mean they would make Fulham champs just realise a bit of potential. glad he is gone
  2. the idea may need some work, but i think spectators would appreciate something abit different.
  3. Does anyone else agree that some corners or obstacles may liven up a speedway event? Maybe speedway needs to bring itself into the modern day? Some jumps or maybe a street circuit? Talk to me.....
  4. Lets be fair the only 2 Brits capable of mixing it a bit at Cardiff as wild cards would be Harris or Cook. Nicholls isnt good enough now. And please no more talk of Kennett King Bridger Barker and the like!! Let Middlo decide. He is Team GB boss and he is good at making the right choices. maybe he could pick that good young English rider at Poole......oh whats his name?...........hmmm
  5. Why all the animosity towards Harris? He was knocked out and yes should have been nowhere near the challenge. Fact is he was asked to ride and quite rightly took up the offer as he had a chance to maybe get in the gp's Fact is he did ok in the meeting and is basically a reserve for next years series. No he shouldnt get a wildcard. But to keep having a pop at the guy is a bit much do people expect him to turn down the chances?
  6. Not awful if you are a Poole fan. They won the league the rest doesnt matter The other clubs should follow the Poole way then the sport would be all hunky-dory
  7. I understand what you are saying and agree but you never know what might happen. Gollob was seemingly past it when he won. Nobody would have predicted Tai winning it or Iversen 3rd so i will reserve judgement. That said i cant see either making top 8
  8. Ridiculous statement! Riss, Dugard , MJJ, Zmarlik, Miedzinski, Jonasson, Franc, and im sure there are many others that ive missed. These riders performed above their ability in the gp as it was in their own country on tracks they knew. As for Lindgren i agree with you on that one.
  9. I dont agree with Lindgren should have been Laguta but we dont know the politics. Fact is though who is better than Lindgren? Certainly not anyone who finished below him and if you think Janowski or Dudek or MJJ are better than Lindgren then thats a joke as Freddie is the better rider than all those. I wouldnt have minded Dudek as a bit of excitement.
  10. There is way to much doubling up. Dont know the best way to stop it but riders like Doyle , Barker, Cook, Gracjonek, Morris, Tungate, Auty, Dyer for example are all premier heat leaders who need to be in one or the other. It should be there for riders like Kerr and Newman to go in to the elite league as a reserve to try and improve.
  11. im on your side! this forum should be about saying what you feel. tell the shovlar fella as well!
  12. how i congratulated Poole on their title win! bent the rules to get there but the best team in the play offs. if its all right for one to write what they want then im sure as hell the rest of us can! I agree 'the know' does know a bit about speedway and does usually write decent stuff. but please Shovlar lol the man is just.............well words fail me. doesnt respond to discussions. attacks the poster on numerous occasions then is quick to tell others not to. thinks everyone is jealous of his club sore loser i could go on and on. the man brings no credability to your club and in fact is a big reason why Poole fans on here are unfortunatly tarred with the same brush
  13. so its ok for you to say what you like but when i do Shovlar and others go nuts! Cant be one rule for one and a different one for another!
  14. fact is you are not going to get 15 riders capable of a world title challenge. Jonsson is definatly , if free from injuries, amongst the top 15 in the world. Inconsistent maybe but definatly worthy of a place. As i said before who else should be in? If anyone says Dudek, Janowski, Jonasson or MJJ they need to realise that AJ is better then all those.
  15. The Play offs are here to stay like them or not. Personally dont like them as it doesnt reward a seasons hard work. It massively favours the team in fourth IF that team has made drastic changes and stormed from miles back into the play offs. That team will have usually have a much stronger 1-7 then the team who finished top that is obvious. There is no doubt that whoever finished 4th this year Poole or Peterborough would have won the league. If Lakeside would hav held on they wouldnt have won the league. This isnt a dig at Poole as it happened to them back when Coventry beat them by a late run into 4th. Last year nobody came from miles back so Swindon rightfully won the league. The play offs do not favour the best team. Birmingham this season should be champions same as Poole should have been last year and 2010. All it shows is that you should build an average side then change it in June to a side that will get into the top 4. Consistency is not rewarded
  16. as you well know there was always going to be a token swede same as this year a token brit. Same as if no danes or poles make it (unlikely) there would be a token dane or pole. So if you dont agree with Jonsson then who? Lindgren is the ONLY other choice as a Swede. Lindback - disaster season PK - done it before time has gone at his age Ljung - not good enough Nermark - not good enough Jonasson - not good enough It was either AJ or Freddie and i think the organisers saw that AJ has won 4 gp's i think? May be wrong. Freddie only 1. AJ was world number 2 in 2011 Freddie always around 7-10 position. If you think there is a better swede then i would love to hear it. I dont agree that certain countries must have a rider but if so then i think Jonsson is correct!
  17. just winds me up when its the Darcy and Greg show like last night. All the swooning over how well Hancock was riding. He scored 5!!!!!!!!
  18. as ive said you wont convince him but he is entitled to his opinion. bit stuck in the dark ages. we could with the old style qualifying system have reached a world final this year where due to injuries it wouldnt have had: TAI, SAYFUTDINOV, HOLDER, GOLLOB, LINDGREN, JONSSON, NICKI PEDERSEN. But that would be fine we could have had Dryml and Ulamek and Walasek for example
  19. And those were the 4 i mentioned a while back. Holder Gollob and Laguta were obvious just a toss up between Jonsson and Lindgren
  20. dont agree with you on that. he has failed miserably to even get close to the series. just because he is young doesnt guarantee the right to be in it. Yes he won once but Zmarlik got to a final last year should he be in it? Dont agree with the 'have to have a swede' thinking but i think it will happen. Last place in my eyes should be Laguta
  21. MJJ and Miedzinski won gp's in their home country not sure they would do anything anywhere else. I remember Gerd Riss making gp finals in Germany. Put a gp at Edinburgh and im sure Cookie would do well. You say about token riders but to be fair most people thought that of Tai and to a lesser extent Iversen and look what happened there!
  22. second division in Poland second string in a substandard elite league. based on this rationale then Ben Barker and Lewis Bridger must be in line for one. continual tripe coming from out of your mouth yet again!
  23. Thj not in the top 50! yet there are still some on this forum who think he deserves a wild card lol
  24. what a total fool you really are do us all a favour and keep your mouth quiet if you not got anything decent to say
