BWitcher 12,453 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) It's also irrelevant whether Hans had a reaction today or not. His injury was not long term. By not deducting Lindbacks points the BSPA are showing once again what a corrupt body they are. He is atill suffering from his injury and wouldnt of rode monday we would have used a guest if we hadnt repllaced him He may still be suffering. Many riders do. The fact is though, he hasn't suffered a long term injury. If you'd have gone with a guest, Andersen had rode today, declared himself unfit and you had another guest then fair enough. You didn't. You chose to embellish the injury, claim it was long term, even when the evidence (Andersen himself) had already shown it wasn't. As such you replaced him in contravention to the rules. Lindback was ineligbile. There is absolutely no argument against it, it's clear cut. Edited September 25, 2016 by BWitcher 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWitcher 12,453 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) His injury is long term he clearly should not have ridden today Well he did. So he wasn't out of action long term. Edited September 25, 2016 by BWitcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,050 Posted September 25, 2016 His injury is long term he clearly should not have ridden today I`m sure his Polish club will have had Hans out practising this week by way of proving his fitness or not, by racing today that clearly shows his injury is not long term, so the BSPA should not have sanctioned the Lindback move in the first place though if Poole claimed the Anderson injury was long term and season ending you can understand why they did, now the BSPA should rule Lindback`s move to Poole illegal and enforce the rule as it stands. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woz01 3,589 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) MF and the BSPA making a mockery of the injury replacement rule. Poole have replaced their (non) long term injury rider so no way can that long term injured rider be allowed back because it suit them. 1If Poole want to bring back Hans then they should have the 5 points scored by his replacement (which shouldn't have been allowed) deducted from their score on Wednesday. Many questioned if Hans injury was long term/season ending and it seemed Hans then confirmed this on twitter with a picture of his injury so became believable but now deciding to ride again absolutely blows apart that statement and the replacement for a long term injury as a farce. Some Poole fans now are jittery because Lindback is in poor form. Such is life. Poole should have gone with guests , then there wouldn't be all this silly mess. When he posted the picture he suggested he could be back in a week! Hans has never said he wouldn't be back. Edited September 25, 2016 by woz01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,018 Posted September 25, 2016 Surprise surprise. Poole cheating again! And yet Steve and his barmy Poole army will still try and defend this one. Then again they did the same with North last year. Looks like Belle Vue and Wolves had them running scared which forced the change :D I'm sorry but that's rubbish. Hans had stated on social media several times that he would be back in time. At the same time Middlo was saying he was out for the season with a long term injury. Andersen always said it would only be a couple of weeks Umm, no he didn't! He said he wasn't sure when he would be back, he said it could be one week or three weeks.

E I Addio 15,843 Posted September 25, 2016 No they wernt. Replacement for long term injury only. Hans wasn't long term injured so no replacement. Guest or r/r only. Lindbacks 5 points should be removed. Playing devils advocate, is there any specific definition of what "long term injury " means in Speedwáy terms? In normal English I would say perhaps a couple of months at least but knowing the way these things work in Speedwáy is there room for Ford to argue that it can be interpreted as a couple of weeks ? In other words, could this be another case of Ford finding a loophole in a poorly drafted rule? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In other words, could this be another case of Ford finding a loophole in a poorly drafted rule? Probably right regarding Ford`s interpretation, only a guess but I would think long term injury at this stage of the season would mean Anderson wouldn't be able to take his place in any of Poole`s play off meeting and/or his season would be over though by riding today in Poland that blows both those arguments out of the water. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted September 25, 2016 :D Umm, no he didn't! He said he wasn't sure when he would be back, he said it could be one week or three weeks. So it isn't a long term injury if he suggested he could be back in a week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,242 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) As the term refers specifically to the play offs. You would expect (to facilitate a replacement) the 'long term' injury must be expected to last (at least) the length of the play offs.. Otherwise (like you do all year) a guest or RR would be the call to cover the 'short term' issue.. Hans' injury has lasted less than one week of the play offs. So can hardly be described as 'long term' therefore no longer fitting the criteria within which Poole applied for his replacement... Not saying Poole have cheated or been deliberately economical with the truth, however now Hans is back riding, surely he must now ride over here too? And Poole face consequences for having a facility that (honestly applied for I am sure) they shouldn't have had? Anyway, more importantly, God Speed for Bjarne.. Your twisted knee is in so many prayers tonight... #prayforbjarnestwistedknee 😀😀 #anyonegotrohansnumber😀😀 Edited September 25, 2016 by mikebv 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen chemistry 660 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) not only did poole get a facility that they shouldnt of got but they also managed to get lindbacks average down to fit him in , from 7.94 to 7.00 absolute stitch up job, can anyone remember when a rider has ever has there average readjusted just in time for ther play offs ??? i wonder if there was a team mid season lokking to strengthen and were looking at lindback but had to change tactic when told his average was 7.94??? candle light vigil for bjarne's knee ... shameless isnt it what he's allowed to getaway with Edited September 25, 2016 by heathen chemistry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
