Mr Blobby 2,660 Posted April 20, 2018 Better late than never to start the thread for this I guess. No worries weather wise for a change, fancy the tigers tonight with Worrall, Harris, Starke, Kerr and sarjeant all liking and riding the place well. With ex monarch Vissing who can be an awkward road block round the Dale also. Will be a tough one but hopefully we can come out on top. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glasgow have suffered lots of engine problems and aren't clicking as a unit. And surely a bit of poetic licence when you say riders 'like' the place. I honestly don't know anyone that likes it Monarchs by 10. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazc 7,093 Posted April 20, 2018 Well done lads a nice 4 pointer. Seems to have been an abnormally high amount of falls even for Armadale standards. But this sets us up nicely for Sunday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JanAndersen 822 Posted April 20, 2018 Glasgow throroughly deserved their win. While i suspect it wouldn’t have changed the overall result, heat 9 going from what looked like a 3-3 to a 0-5 gave the tigers a real boost and set the tone for the remainder of the meeting Was impressed with Max but Joel and Matt looked quite a bit off the pace and Ricky didn’t seem himself. Improvement required. The track seemed a bit tricky especially at the first and second bend (even more so than normal!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone 943 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) First of all Tigers thoroughly deserved their victory, with both sides throwing away points to each other. Must admit the racing was mainly processional, apart from when riders got into problems on some areas of the track. Hopefully the track preparation will improve as the surface recovers from the weather ravages of the opening month, otherwise they need to bring back Alan Bridgett pronto. Even the performance of the referee, Stuart Wilson, was like the Monarchs, below par, when he correctly stopped ht 10 when third placed Vissing fell on bend 3 and fourth placed Starke laid down. However obviously he is unaware of the new ruling that for the re-run, Starke should have started on 15m in such circumstances. Whilst I recognise that it's early days, the abject performances of Joel Andersson so far, even for a newcomer, is a cause for concern. By all means give him 4 home & 4 away in Official fixtures, but if there is no significant improvement, then let's seek someone else (Kasper Lykke Nielsen or Frederik Jacobsen or Oleg Mikhailov or Patrick Hansen?) as prolonging the agony will do no favours for the rider or the fans. To end on a positive note, rather than slit my wrists now , Max Ruml impressed again with a further improved performance.

Fingersfin 181 Posted April 21, 2018 Track was very poor last night which completely spoiled the event. However a win is a win over the nearest and dearest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george.m 3,063 Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Puting aside my allegiances. Having invested time and effort, via Social Media, etc, to bring newbies to the sport I cannot understand why there was no effort made to rectify the obvious issue with bend 1 and 2. For a neutral, or unfortunately any newbies, that was a detrimental advert for our sport. Edited April 21, 2018 by george.m 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edmon 166 Posted April 21, 2018 It did not. I believe they could not get riders to be able to hold the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
