You sure about that? With the amount of folk backing this guy up it would suggest to me that some folk actually rated him and were sorry to see him go. If that's the case then if they had a brain they'd be dangerous. Don't think I'm being harsh at all, I just say it how it is. Pure blunt truth. Hey mcgowangone, bet you wouldn't say it to Pennys face because your on here bad mouthing him. He came over here at short notice and after landing on Scottish soil he went to the track for some practice and 24hrs later took part in his first meeting, if you were in his position could you do that? I know i couldn't even though i race quads from time to time, not many other people could have done what he done, travel 12,000 miles and be thrown into British Premier League racing so stop giving the fella a hard time. I wouldn't need to say anything to his face. Do you think the guy is unaware of his performances? Are your related to Jess by any chance? Another one clutching at straws using the travelling excuse. The guy is 18 years old, he's not a kid. I've been to Australia..it doesn't take 3 weeks to get over jet lag! Not going to even respond to this. Grow up mate.

yeah yeah yeah.. your little picture sums up nothing matey lol! its a handful of straws. real cool i'd say. they aren't lame excuses lol.. its the truth, he is a nice guy and i would recommend im any day! guna give me a bullet lol?.. so sad to bad, he tried and it just wasnt the right time for him. you cant be saying that he 'isnt good enough' when clearly you have no idea and have seem him ride what like a few meetings? thats hardly a sum of talent.. not to mention home sickness and his first big step out of family life. we arent defending how he performed, he probably didnt go as well as what everyone might have hoped but you can hardly blame him aye.. what im trying to tell you is to go ahead and comment on performances and the riders in a riding perspective, but to take your rude PERSONAL comments elsewhere. he might have had a dud stint with the tigers but he is definitely not a dud! besides his phase with the tigers is over for this season so cry it off and move on alrite.... good on ya penny! you'll get there! So I'm not allowed to criticise anyone who is a ''nice guy''? I don't care if he's nice, handsome, ugly, evil or whatever, I genuinely couldn't care less. What matters to me is what he does on the track. 2 points from what..5 meetings? Dire isnae the word to describe that. Like I said in my last post, the travelling excuse is only valid for about 3 days. Show me where I've personally insulted Penfold? I've just heavily criticised him, where I felt it was due. He let the team down badly every race he was involved in. For the record, I hope he goes on to have a successful career and proves me wrong, but he was clearly no-where near the level required.

i give you a name of the seventies a auusie called gary guglemi could not get going at coatbridge went to coventry and what a rider he turned out any tigers fans remember that name Gary Williams, GC As for young Penfold, it was clear to everyone he was nowhere near ready for PL racing, so I dont see what can be achieved by coming on here and slating the boy. Like I said hopefully he can take something from his few weeks over here, go back home and have a good summer and come back a bit wiser. From what I seen of him I certainly dont believe he is some sort of dud.

Only made one appearance though. I am sure the promotion will be keeping an eye on young Penfolds progress during the winter months. To me it looked like the boy was caught out by the starts initially and how tough the first bends were and after that he was playing catch up and you could see his head go down as the weeks went by

you can critisise whoever you want, whether they are good at riding or **** at riding, i couldnt care less about the riding critisism to be honest lol... but calling someone a dud and saying who ever recommended him should be shot. thats RUDE and that is where you insulted penfold personally!!!!! i dont know if we think really differently mate, but i know if someone said that about me i would be raring up to smack them fair in the chops.
do you not think he would be disappointed in how he went? do you not think he would have loved to score a zillion points and show off his skills?! durrr. yeah maybe the travelling excuse is valid for 3 days, so that accounts for one of his meetings. but geeeez, he had a bad go in PL riding in the body instead of reserve!!!! and he suffered the consequences of it!! he had a bad stint and i betcha he is sorry for it. SO LEAVE HIM BE!!! he isnt even in the team anymore and your still uppin the poor guy! its time to sooky it off mate lol and mooooooveeee on.
at least for the record you stated something positive. but it hardly outweighs the negative in what you said first.
