  1. dodged the heavy showers i think (1-2miles west of the track) and rain is now thinning out so optimistic

    Brummies v Tigers 25/3

    Did many Wolves fans attend?
  3. two formula 1 cars from the same team collide on the run in to the line and crash out of the race. the referee doesn’t award either car points so why does he need to here? was the race actually stopped? i don’t recall the red lights coming on. maybe the Lynn rider was past the stricken Leicester duo before the ref had a chance to put the red lights on. i can see your point of view for sure. another grey area is where two riders from the same team collide on the opening corner yet both are reinstated for the re run. i don’t think the rule book is definitive in these kind of scenarios. i doubt very much that the investigation will focus on heat 2. for me the incident with the starting gate post will be the focus as this is clearly a safety issue where the heat should have been stopped immediately. also the ref should have used the tv footage to catch kemp touching the tapes but this heat 2 incident is far too subjective IMHO
  4. he’s gained an advantage as the referee has awarded him points when he failed to finish the race. the opposition riders were not the cause of this, one of his own riders was
  5. you could argue it wasnt foul, unfair or dangerous riding as Kemp simply locked up with his chain coming off. Also Thompson didnt deliberately lay down his machine or leave the track. he took avoiding action. dont want to sound pedantic but i dont think this is as clear cut as some are making out and ultimately the ref was at liberty to make the call he did. at the time it wouldnt have been obvious what had happened to kemp's machinery.
  6. i think the ref actually made the correct decision in heat 2. as far as he was aware, there was a coming together of the leicester riders with both falling and letting the lynn rider through to finish 2nd for a 0-5. surely just back luck for the lions. doesn’t really matter that kemp was the primary cause of the incident.
  7. the teams getting the best ringers in win the playoffs
  8. complin has to be key to the outcome. he seems to have hit a bit of form and could go well if it’s wet
  9. all to play for i’d say. glasgow might be exposed with the reserves having to cover vissing
  10. doesn’t look quite so optimistic on the radar https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar
  11. glasgow were riding on a bog of a track last night as well. happens this time of year.
  12. he should be grateful to be allowed to ride, being a ringer with an average much higher than the rider he is guesting for.
  13. sheffield looks wet thursday afternoon now
  14. don’t think sheffield are strong enough at reserve
  15. getting too big for his boots
  16. lambert was a bit foolish to try to get round him
  17. oh my word hume stayed upright
  18. pickering had hume off there
  19. did he have the benefit of tv replays and saw lambert cut emil up?
  20. watching hume is like watching a small child about to fall off a pushbike
  21. chun

    Torun 2023

    kelvins lost the plot
  22. lambert is riding on an artificially low average and is taking guest bookings away from regular league riders. i have no issue with lambert stepping in to help out kings lynn
  23. Woffinden would have been accommodated at the expense of others, it just worked out that it was easier to drop holder as well. agree that ellis probably deserved to be dropped but kerr must have felt hard done by. i guess time will tell if it pays off.
