Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I'm not saying he was right or wrong but who would be a sports manager? It's a thankless task a large part of the time - especially when a team isn't winning. We can't expect too much with the current state of British speedway - we just don't have enough quality world class riders - I would even be bold to say that we only have one on his form of last year which landed him the world champion crown - he needs to sustain that this year and beyond.

GB is NOT England! Congratulations to Rosco - tough time ahead!

Who Was The Best Rider In The World In 2013?
Steve0 replied to Gavan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Tai by a mile followed by Emil. After those two stand-outs I would go for Holder who was doing well when he got injured followed by Hampel, Iversen and then Ward. Next season may be a different story though... -
Crump was born in Bristol but he's not British I like Tai too (apart from his body art) so I don't know how I missed him off
-
Ok - maybe I think of him as Aussie Corrected it now - sorry - honest oversight! I would have put Swindon down for 4 but Nick Morris chose to ride for Australia - can't say I'm surprised with the performance of our SWC team managers!!

I think if you look at the teams with the most Brits, we have: Birmingham (4) - 57% of the team Swindon (3) - 43% Coventry (3) - 43% Lakeside (2) - 29% And the hall of shame: Belle Vue (1) - 14% Wolves (1) - 14% Kings Lynn (1) - 14% Eastbourne (0) - 0% Peterborough (0) - 0% Poole (0) - 0%

Well done Tai Woffinden - Herculean effort last night with his injuries and clearly in pain through the meeting! And such a shame to see Pedersen fail to make the semis - NOT! -

Typical Pedersen - only one word for it - CHEAT! This continuity announcer cannot even say half if the riders names - Kasprzak ??? -
Well done Tai - great to hear our national anthem - it's been a long time!
-
If Woffinden wins tonight - I won't mind the fact that the racing has been poor. Come on #woffywoffywoffy
-
You're easily pleased

What a dull, dull, dull meeting! Don't think I've seen any overtaking

Referee Just Bottled Semi Decision
Steve0 replied to TheReturn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Have to say that the ref got this decision spot on. Nicki clamped him down going into the bend - they touched almost forcing Chris onto the grass - he hit a wet bit as a result straightened up and the rest is history. Would have been harsh to exclude anyone. -
Chris Holder World Champion

I wasn't getting at stevebrum but didn't notice any wink smiley on Steve Shovlar or scottyfan's posts I did notice you've changed your avatar from the union flag to the English one -

Apart from you being racist, all "jocks" do not hate the English - although I'm beginning to go off a couple of them -

Steve0 replied to Bomo1's topic in International World of Speedway
Apologies - I didn't realise you were the mouthpiece for millions. Have to say, there seemed to be a lot of Brits cheering him on on Sunday both inside and outside! Anyway - back to the speedway - its Team GB! -

It is Team GB!! it was good enough for you lot when Andy Murray got to the final of Wimbledon -
No competition - the SGPs by the proverbial mile The good thing about the SGPs over the old World Final (similar to the league versus play-off) is that the champion is determined over the season rather than on a night - this, for me, provides a true champion as it levels out the track biases. Like the play offs, the organisers need to be careful that it doesn't just become a money making exercise - they should remember it should be the best of the world's riders - no disrespect to Ljung and Bunyan who aren't!

Dream Team ? No- It's Tuesday In Vetlanda
Steve0 replied to brandonbee48's topic in International World of Speedway
Eh? It says fantastic team to me! And what a great bunch of riders! In the current economic climate we couldn't afford to put anything like that out - but we can all dream. What we do have is affordable but just not "Elite"! -
