Remind me Kev, what did he say? I kind of switch off when the girl in the pits is on screen, she still looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights to me at the moment and doesn't hold my attention for long. I'll go for a nomination of anyone who objects to a bit of banter/harmless name calling of opposition riders. Maybe being a kid on the Smallmead terraces during the 70's/80's when Swindon or Oxford were in town toughened me up a bit, but ffs are things like "Poo Boy" or "Slime" really overly offensive? Poor little Nicki Pedersen must cry himself to sleep every night with all the things he's reguarly called. Ha ha - great post Wacks. She really annoys the pants off me - but it's been said before. People seem to jump to her defence on the BSF - God knows why - she's as useless as a chocolate fireguard. "Rabbit caught in headlights" is a very good analogy ! I would like to second your nomination also, along with commentators who apologise "if you heard anything in that interview that you may have found offensive".... Who's offended.....? I'd like to bet 99% of people aren't, when things are said like that in the heat of the moment during sporting events.

I would like to nominate Eric Boo cock for the way he spoke to Charlie Webster when interviewed tonight. The BSPA are currently trying to negotiate an improved deal with Sky for their television coverage, and as a member of that organisation and an official at the meeting, I believe his arrogant and petulant outburst at Charlie was totally out of order. He should be fined for his actions this evening and given the Flapperjack of the Week too, and then hopefully he be a little more approachable at any further televised meetings he's involved in, assuming that Sky now consider his opinion to be worthwhile listening to...... which personally I don't! I'll second that ! Thought he was a complete arse all night tbh. Didn't like the way he spoke to Tony Steele either.... not wanting him to look at the incident on the monitor, and suggesting Tony make judgement by what he saw, and not by the slow-motion replays. What a twit ! I just put it down to his age - he is an old man now - a rude and grumpy one by the looks of it. After Charlie's big gaff though when she asked one of the riders about "the gravel" on the track I did wonder how many more she may make that are not always aired - I cringe every time she appears on screen with the dread of what she will say wrong next - surely someone at Sky must notice too

ML - whatever his size, he's still a true "Golem". Ahhhh but you can't accuse him of something he isn't and you said he was oversized. Just putting the facts down old boy ;D

I thought horseplay was Rory's brother...but I might be wrong. You are correct Lupus, he is Rory's brother.

I am, on the other hand, an acknowledged master of being irritating, so I should be quids in if I make it to the SWC round (only joking, before our beloved First Lady starts sharpening her knife and making plans for my pods).

Anyway, I should like to nominate Tony Steele for gross stupidity last evening. In Ht 5 Steele excluded Ricky Ashworth for being the "primary cause" cause of a stoppage that never was. Steele never stopped the race, so how can you possibly exclude a riding for being the "primary cause" of a stoppage that never was? Secondly, even if the race was stopped, Ashworth wasn't the cause, the cause was Bergstrom lying on the track. If you're going to exclude Ashworth it has to be for unfair riding. I've always known Tony Steele was an idiot and a flapperjack, so last night (and Monday night) was just further proof.

Three decisions, all consistant and all correct.

So, you want to see passing on the inside entering turns banned, is that it? You don't think there is any place in the sport for the following: www.youtube.com/watch?v=43rOKfgJG84

For which he was excluded and then almost demolished the Reading pits a couple of years early.
