Michael Scott: An Oasis in a Sea of Sh*t

Is it possible that there is someone on the board thicker than #22? It seems so.

Here's some elementary logic: In considering whether Marquez' riding is dangerous, all the incidents he has been involved in are relevant (including his clash with Espargaro).

In considering whether Marquez' riding is dangerous, how hard Petrucci hit Espargaro means .... all.

You're welcome. You're getting a free education.

You are thicker than 22 by a country mile. You proved it already in the other topic about motomutters when you had the gall to say Marquez was slowing Rossi down at Sepang '15 which was you talking completely out of your .... A growing trend with every post you make.

You keep bringing up Espargaro and ignore that Espargaro had no problem with the contact. He did with Petrucci. That puts one down. You think it was dangerous, Espargaro did not have any complaints so you whining about it is laughable. When talking about Marquez and Argentina which is what you've been whining about incessantly, you have to bring up Petrucci/Espargaro because it's relevant to what was going on during the race.

That leaves Nakagami who he squeezed by but did nothing we haven't seen a thousand times over the years. That's two down.

That leaves the Rossi incident which was overblown as he was ahead of Rossi and Rossi didn't want to back off like he should have. A move Rossi deployed numerous times over his career by the way. Marquez's front slipped, big ....... deal, it happens it mixed conditions. Rossi didn't want to give way and found himself on the ground due to the front slipping. But it was considered a mortal sin ONLY because it was Rossi.

Free education? For that to work, it would mean you actually know something and secondly have points that can't be demolished in quick fashion.

You have no idea what dangerous riding is and what you deem dangerous riding has been going on forever in GP. Marquez making close overtakes where there was some contact is not the same as Wayne Gardner trying to run Mick Doohan off the Gardner Straight at 180MPH. Doohan himself admitted to putting guys off the track. No penalties for any of it.

Marquez, the rider of a generation, will continue to dominate the sport and will never get the recognition he deserves because, at the apex of his career you desperate houseslides are too busy directing undeserved attention at an irrelevant rider.

"houseslides" is that like an "......" or "twatwaffle"? I couldn't agree much more. We are missing out on maybe the greatest thing ever on a street motorbike, because some want to suck old Italian sausage. It is forking weird, I tell ya'.
And this sums MM up. This is the guy that saves 100+ mph crashes with his elbow! He is just a thrill to watch ..... to ME!

And even so, thanks to his special deal with the laws of physics, he’d come all the way through to challenge Rossi for sixth.

That quote about Marc’s special deal with gravity was great

Houseslides "ARE" initiated with the rear brake. Arent they?

Straight to the gravity of the situation.

You have an open invitation to bring your Man on Man Action to Misano.
Just a small tip, in the real world you can’t tap out of a choke.

Yawn...i'm going to rename you 'thrush' from now on because you're such an irritating .......if mummy lets you go to Misano make sure and stand somewhere where the cameras can pick up the action,i'm looking forward to watching a line of grown men slapping a spotty little herbert in a Rossi romper suit..

RCV600RR said:

Very good article. I agree with most of it, but not the rather absurd conclusion that "Marc should be left to ride as he does". He needs to rein his behavior in. The clashes with Espargaro, Syahrin or Rossi could've been very serious.

Too true, someone could get hurt. Come to think of it RC, strapping an 18 year old malnourished kid to a 250 hp death machine is perhaps not the best idea. Absurd in fact, what the .... were we thinking? Aren’t we supposed to be the responsible adults in the room? Let’s wait for him to get a little older and wiser then. 39 years old should do nicely.

Humans aren’t exactly renowned for being rational RC. Case in point, MotoGP. An actual death sport. Can we do it safely please. But make it entertaining...........

Come to think of it, case in point, MotoGP forum.................

So are you going to declaim that we should believe everything Michael Scott writes because he is a journalist of repute and better informed/more knowledgeable than anyone on this forum ?.

I like the article. It’s a very legit perspective and a nice counterbalance for the other side of the argument.

Fairly close to what you have been criticising as Rossi hatred on here.

Without the vitriol, malice and with actual insights.
Other than that, fairly close.

Yes, others encroached on your turf, lack of insight being your calling card, as are vitriol and malice, not that you are very effective when you try to be vitriolic.

lol Mitchell...

I don't give a flying .... about your pathetic attempts at trolling me. They are terrible and they continue to be terrible. Between you, JP ........, sheepfucker and Curryfart and the rest I can't be bothered to remember, the efforts of the Geriatric Mouthbreather society has been underwhelming at best.

I was only referring to the vitriol that you lots show towards Rossi. The article had none of it. Move along now, isn't it bingo time in the retirement house?

As I said, lack of insight is your particular preserve.

You have done nothing except “troll” from your first post on here, which I actually don’t mind, but are incredibly thin skinned when anyone comes back at you in a similar vein.

Unless you actually are Uccio, Rossi is an abstraction for anyone on here, some may have encountered him briefly, no-one actually knows him (except maybe J4Rn0 who is also concerned the sport is becoming narrative based), you are actually dealing with real people on here from behind the safety of your keyboard, not that anyone should be abashed by your absurd schoolboy rhetoric.

If you take “vitriol” against Rossi on here as a personal insult as seems to be the case with you and others of your breed, it says more about you than anyone on here and confirms they are correct in characterising you. He doesn’t know you, he doesn’t care about you. Meanwhile out in real world an overwhelming amount of the vitriol directed at GP bike riders is and always has been directed at riders other than Rossi, mostly his rivals in fact, which it is now clear is orchestrated by him, which Michael Scott pretty much says in the article under discussion; being cognisant of this would require the insight and consequent sense of proportion of which you are so obviously devoid.

I quite enjoy debating, usually without much malice, those of your breed as a general rule, but you present so little challenge I feel like the guy fighting the black knight in the Monty Python sketch.

Why waste so many words when you could just post a picture of some little girl crying to show me how you’re feeling right now?

I have to say big respect to Michael for writing that article. It goes against what seems to be the popular view and, for me, hits the nail on the head.

In essence his primary points of-
1. Vale's manipulation of the media
2. Marc's talent, combined with a candid review of the various incidents from Argentina-
Are refreshing to hear coming from someone in the media

We have to bare in mind that, prior to Argentina, there were no calls for bans or a tightening of rulings on racing incidents or for that matter complaints about the safety of Marc's riding.
Then, all of a sudden, it seems the sport has been turned on it's head from one race, a race let's not forget that was plunged into chaos from the very start due to a delayed start.
Marc's racing in the big class has never called into question until the one time he clashes with Vale and is seen as the 'aggressor.'

I am not having a personal dig at the Vale fans on here and I admire that you have the courage of your convictions, but come on, fellas, surely you can see the correlation here?

What's your goal here, synn? Are you just one of those people that has to piss other people off in order to enjoy your own life?

I just don't get it. I don't get people specifically just wanting to piss other people off. Who cares? If you don't agree or don't like, then move on, continue living life. I will just never understand those who want to belittle others or get one over on them, or need to be "proven to be right" in some argument with people they don't know.

He's the proverbial troll,his only goal is to annoy and act tough from the safety of his computer, safe in the knowledge nobody knows who he is and can get to him,we should all just stop feeding him,i have fed him too much because i like to belittle hero worshippers but i'll do my bit and stop now and hopefully he'll just go away and watch gay .... instead..
