That's they way you have to be in professional sport. Of course, you enjoy your successes, but getting carried away with it can be very counter-productive. It's far better to stay at the same level mentally - regardless of your ups and downs - rather than put yourself on an emotional roller-coaster. Good or bad, what's done is done. You can't change what's happened, you can only change what is going to happen.

Glebe Park is a place I would love to visit before I die!

It is what it is...

Hey, don't get too carried away; my Scottish team is Brechin City! Seriously...

But I heard he was a boring, one-trick pony???

I never thought I would see Falkirk mentioned on a speedway GP thread!!!

Wasn't that Roald Dahl?

Apparently, it is what is is...

It might have been...

But it might be...

Same with what I have in my underpants...

I disagree. What if it ISN'T what it is???

Terrible thing in motorsport, eh? Having fast equipment...

Give him a Ferrari engine; that'll slow him down...

Great ride from Lindbackwards there...

Most people won't care; it's the points that are the important thing!

I just hated his helmet, and those bloody green leathers!

Couldn't have said that better myself. Perhaps they learned the whinging from BSF members???

Simmo? Steve Lomas? Mark Terry?

You wouldn't be saying that if he was a Hackney rider!!!

As I said, I don't like it, but I agree 100%. Neither do their times and performances in the qualifying rounds count either. And nobody bitches about that... Reading this forum, it's like people claim to be speedway fans, yet are constantly looking for reasons NOT to be.

Did anyone complain when Malcolm Simmons or Peter Collins scored 15 points in a Daily Mirror Grand Prix QR in 1976, yet only got 10 GP points? Of course not! While I am not a fan of the new system (I much prefer all points on track counting), anyone with an IQ in double figures or better SHOULD be able to understand it... Anyway, whether I like it or not, it doesn't prevent me from enjoying four blokes engaging in good racing...

But Tom was young and good looking...

Who would you want to play Tom?

...and luck will play a much bigger part - which isn't right...
