Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted October 13, 2007 Scott should have been excluded but I don't blame him for doing it. It's an individual and he NEEDED secvond place to qualify. Try that move and take a risk of being excluded or don't and come 4th. Hmmmm <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No chance of him finishing 4th since there were only 3 riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbs_77 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Yes harris had a crap gp but he was going to get second and was robbed of automatic promotion ,even if he does get a wild card its not the same as qualifying on merit. If it was the other way round nicholls toys would have been out of the pram for certain and hed be making his normal excuses.Wild card or not for next year im one pissed off cornishman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posh panther 50 Posted October 13, 2007 I dunno if it was unfair or not you know. Scott kept to the inside line, so was entitled to go for it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...what???????worse decision iv ever seen in ten years of watching speedway..bosh! have that...cheers team mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joester 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Yes the GP's are individual but they could have team ridden that to secure both a place YET Scott has to get one better, <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Team ridden when Holta was flying in front, how does that work? IMO Nicholls should have been excluded, but hey ho, I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sicknote 0 Posted October 13, 2007 It was bad enough Scott doing that but I don't see why Bomber was in a run-off in the first place he was the only one out of them that had won a GP so why did he have to PROVE himself. I'm DISGUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Absoloutly no doubt whatsoever Nicholls blatently stuck Bomber in the fence, he even looked at him before he done it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Saint 3 Posted October 13, 2007 Can't really see why there was a need for run off at all. Surely they should have been decided on the "count back" system? In which case, Chris Harris would have qualified in seventh place by virtue of winning a GP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Bee 57 Posted October 13, 2007 He would have found it hard as there were only 3. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alright you knew what I meant, 3rd and out the GP's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanisnumber1 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Was best when the officials didnt even know the procedures for the race off and had to have a blind pick!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Turner 0 Posted October 13, 2007 worse decision iv ever seen in ten years of watching speedway <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You've gotta get out more... Ref could've called it either way, Scott did what he felt he had to and got away with it. That's speedway racing...ask Gollob, ask Nicki etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerblues 10 Posted October 13, 2007 It was bad enough Scott doing that but I don't see why Bomber was in a run-off in the first place he was the only one out of them that had won a GP so why did he have to PROVE himself. I'm DISGUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> AJ's won 2 so never mind Nicholls and Holta, we'll get him in there aswell. 91 points is 91 points no matter how they're scored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sicknote 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Please before I get slated I'm not critisising Scott's GP he rode better than Bomber all night, however I can't belive he got away with what he did. Never mind that Bomber would get a wildcard anyway thats not the point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rabbit 1 Posted October 13, 2007 Ref bottled it, either that or he wasn't watching. As for Nicholls, what a weasel. Love to be a fly on the wall at the conversation between the two straight after, although somehow I suspect Harris is too much of a gentleman - now if the shoe had been on the other foot... At least Harris should get a wild card for next year anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
