    What with Wolbert missing a meeting(burgergate) and his lowering of his average at Glasgow, folks have every right to look for and find malpractice with dodgy performances.

    What kind of beer do you drink Tsunami? Bitter? ;) Thankfully Newcastle have never stooped to such levels have they - well apart from an ex-promoter with a pocketful of blank doctor's lines? Allegedly of course!! I've told you before that Wolbert's burger meant missing a double header, surely he only planned to miss one meeting due to galloping dandruff? He was a last minute signing for Glasgow that year with little in the way of machinery or sponsorship hence his poor season. As for Glasgow fans suggesting deliberately lowering averages?? Thanks to Wethers pulling off track that night it didn't work :)

     

    Anyway, what a fantastic result for the never say die Monarchs!

    BREAKING NEWS. Neil Vatcher has awarded the 4 points to Edinburgh as Alex Harness has successfully appealed that his side could slide their bikes through the water before the curfew

    Sorry Keith, this is slightly wrong - because we are the Monarchs we make the rules and cheat every meeting, we have been awarded 6 points and a point knocked off each rider's average ;)

    My biased ramblings from the Monarchs Chatzone -

     

    Right, been very lazy this season what with trips to France and too many beers I've not posted my manic thoughts very often. So here's my thoughts on tonight - It wasn't raining! We ended up with quite a few decent races, some strange refereeing decisions but then I saw who the ref was, a home win but a worthy point for the Tigers select.

     

    Yet again the Monarchs threw away a few points starting in heat 2 - you have four laps to overtake Mr Davey, calm doon!! Sam was beaten twice by a fast gating Howarth, Mark had a bad 4th ride but helped seal the win in heat 14, Erik had a good night until Bjerre changed line without any control 20 times in 20 metres, when a rider in second crashes because a rider in front loses control who is to blame? Last week Davey was excluded ( rightly so) for causing Hansen to run into him but tonight a different ref ignores the cause of the stoppage. Never noticed josh tonight ;) but think it was a paid 7 for r/r, Ricky was better out the gate early on. Max had a busy night with some good passes and used the outside line, Mitch had a night to forget.

     

    For the Tigers select, Aaron on his normal track got his 2nd ride and the t/r right , Todd was poor but a good win in heat 8 where I thought he got away with a flier, Bjerre improved his scores but his heat 12 win was fortunate given his loss of control. Mr Sarjeant never broke the tapes but only beat one Monarch, Kyle Howarth was superb, top scorer on the night, he maybe gate and go but if you go like that so what? Rob picked up useful points but it was a bit too soon for Ryan at this level.

    Well run meeting apart from lap counting problem, got home in time for pie and a beer or three ;)

    Very enjoyable evening. Was a draw a fair result? Probably. I'd have been happy if offered it before the meeting.

     

    Only black spot was Ricky Wells disgraceful gamesmanship, the worst I have seen in all my years attending speedway. He brought shame on himself, his family, New Zealand, America, and indeed the entire human race. I thought the guy behind me was having a seizure, and he was a Monarch.

    You're quite right, it has never happened before in the history of speedway!!! lol

    Was great to meet up with Paulco again, sorry, should have bought your drinks after your moral victory. I believe Mr Wells wasn't looking to see the positions in heat 13, he had some shale in his eye honest!! Very ironic that we were complaining about the track being so dry, it will pee down all week now!. Monarchs certainly dropped some silly points but with so few last places Tigers certainly deserved the draw. Big worry now with Clegg at reserve but it can go both ways, win heat 2, get confidence back and upwards, but if not who can replace him?

    I was a sidecar passenger. One who started racing at the age of 48. There were many who said I was nuts. Well maybe. But Bryn wasn't one of them. When he commentated at meetings I took part in, he always gave me a cheery introduction and made me feel like a world champion. Thanks Bryn. For that and your incisive debate on our shared love, you'll be missed.

    Rest in peace, my friend.

    You were nuts!!! I remember fondly when we had the speedway chatroom with Bryn and we were all virtually civilized with each other. I last saw Bryn at KL a few years ago,going to miss his unique humour

    Nice attempt at a wind up, Lewy old chap, but the only thing I found out is that the word "Cyclone" and the phrase "good knowledge of the rules" are mutually exclusive. :D

     

    Rules have been stretched all ways over the years for the second half of a double-header after injuries in the first half... I suspect this is the latest instance.

     

    All the best

    Rob

    But Rob, you don't know the rules, you are still moaning that monarchs illegally used Mitchell Davy when we cuffed you, despite it being obvious from rule 16 that we were in the right. You then went on about Dan Bewley riding for us instead of BV in the NL whilst forgetting that the rule says the NL side have PRIORITY over a re-arranged PL meeting - it doesn't say that the NL side can't allow their rider to ride for the PL side does it? I would think that BV took the view that Dan would learn much more in the PL that night than a routine max in the NL You need to stop listening to the uninformed from the west!!

    Jeez, you've just resulted to insults! When the Mildenhall match statement clarified who was involved in the appeal process then why are we not told who made this decision?

    Insults?? Where?? You were inferring that a Monarchs official influenced the decision , I explained what really happens i.e. a BSPA member is NOT involved when an issue involves their team.

     

    If you want to know who made the decision, ask the BSPA!!

    Reading the SCB statement, there seems to be 2 conclusions from it. Firstly the BSPA didn't know there own rules last week and told Edinburgh that they could use a guest for Bewley (if they'd have got that bit right then there would've been no controversy at all). Secondly Scunthorpe, and all teams, should put a protest in at the appropriate time scale, otherwise the referee's decision is final.

     

    Both of which points seem to have come to a fair conclusion, but the legitimacy of the appeal has to be questioned when one of the panel examining it was Edinburgh's promoter!

     

    Absolute crap, members of the BSPA committee will not be involved when a decision affects their own team.

     

    The statement could not be clearer - BSPA rules applied as per Cyclone's post above, What gets me is why things like this get anywhere near a protest. Surely the BSPA should be explaining before the meeting to BOTH teams why Davey is eligible to ride. And why Mr Godfrey doesn't appear to know the rules on how to make an appeal!!

    Rambling time again....

     

     

    First of all, well done to all 14 riders for competing on a wet track that got worse as the night progressed. Hope Dale Lamb is ok after his two falls, one when lying down.

     

    Belle Vue showed their team experience of regular meetings despite only having one heat winner - it helps that Dan won 6 heats with his last two starts very impressive! Well done young man! With good back up from Matt Williamson and Rob Shuttleworth especially, they won the match in ht 15 when Jye just tried too hard.

     

    For the Monarchs select Max had a good night but two poor starts cost him points in ht 13 & 15 - Max, you have four laps to pass, you will learn!

    Dale was unlucky with two falls, one when he laid the bike down. Mitchell looked decent, young Willie Lawson? A fall in one but looked decent on what I dont imagine will be modern machinery? Jye continues to baffle - some good starts, three wins then a fall in ht 15- he needs to take confidence from his wins. Lewis and Kev were well off the pace but picked up some gift points, the experience of a proper meeting will encourage them I am sure.

     

    For the Colts, Matt picked up a good score but only by meeting the Monarchs juniors and taking advantage of a Max fall. Good 7 points though. Holt got a couple and fell but looked steady enough as did Woolley. Shuttleworth backed up Dan well with 9 points, Lee Payne picked up 5 and was always not far off, Basford had a couple of exclusions.

     

    So what did tonight prove? There's no doubt Monarchs have three problems in the team, Max, Jye and Dan for various reasons. They probably felt some pressure tonight with the appearance of Mitchell and Willie but what did we learn? Lets start with Max - He's already picked up this last few weeks after a sticky start and only by being too impatient in ht 13 will he be annoyed. Dan? superb performance, it will be a problem with BV Colts fixture clashes but this young man is progressing by the lap. Jye? How do we criticize our joint top scorer tonight? Could Willie do a better job within a few weeks? No idea.

     

    Lastly, on a night of falls, our esteemed raffle ticket Molly had a wee fall on the back straight terracing tonight, no doubt the BSF will blame Ryan lol. She seemed none the worse and there was no need for r/r. I'm missing in France for two weeks now so please make sure she is ok next week - I advised her to put a wee bit water

    in her nip ;) Take care Molly
