In all my many years following this sport, indeed any sport, I have never, ever come across anybody who has such a festering, obsessive dislike for a person in our sport as MKnight has for Meeke. You are not a rally fan, you are not a sports fan, frankly I don't know what you are other than some self righteous and obnoxious troll that spends endless hours on eWRC compiling silly little lists trying and failing to justify your ego driven, odious little tirades that you post on what seems a daily basis.
This post is not about me or anybody else being a fan of Meeke. Kris Meeke is a human being, he has a wife, children, a brother and a father. How would you feel if somebody launched constant disparaging tirades of criticism at a member of your family in the manner that you do? This is a public forum and you, whoever you are, should be utterly ashamed of yourself.
We all have negative opinions on drivers at times but unlike you and one or two of your acolytes we don't make it a part time career.Last edited by noel157; 25th May 2018 at 20:45.

I don't know why this debate is going on, I think Budar's clarification made it clear enough why he was dropped. It makes sense either way, if Citroen doesn't continue they probably don't need the extra repair bills and a win or two won't matter and if they do continue the plan to have Meeke as lead driver isn't working out so they can try to focus on others.

Maybe it had been a good idea to let him drive the R5, then it for sure had been tested good. But I guess he did not want to.
To focus more forward, I still feel the best of the rest, is Mr Tidemand. Would be perfect practice for him before Skoda in 2020.
Paddon is also a good candidate.

I think Citroen truly wants either Seb full time, and dropping the lead driver is a part of the plan

My post you just quoted was a response to godlike worship which stated how Meeke "beat these all" in C3.
I do respond to fanboy godlike-worship with facts, and give credit when due. Check out my praises of Meeke after Catalunya and GB last year and after Monte this year. I have nothing against Meeke and I don't launch into any "tirades" against him. I wish him luck in his career and hope we see him (prbly in Fiesta) soon.
Unlikely quite many forum members I write long arguments instead of one liners about "village teams, nobodys etc." For some reason this results in some fans responding with personal attacks.

I'm very sorry not to see Meeke more in WRC this year. He was an honest person and you felt he was honest when he stated. I'm going to miss him as one of the rally aristocrats.
I hope to see him back in the WRC where he belongs.Last edited by olemann; 25th May 2018 at 21:55.
