cyclone 943 Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Teams as per Edinburgh web site:- STAGGS BAR MONARCHS: Ricky Wells, Joel Andersson, Mark Riss, Max Ruml, Erik Riss (capt.), Coty Garcia, Josh Pickering. ALLIED VEHICLES TIGERS: Chris Harris (capt.), Lewis Kerr, Claus Vissing, Paul Starke, Richie Worrall, Jack Thomas, James Sarjeant. Having previously lost at home to the Tigers by seven in the Shield, imo Glasgow will be favourites again. Although they had a blip at home to Worky, their riders seem to have had a good week riding for their other teams, with Sarjeant in particular having an 8 pt return for Leicester on Monday. Monarchs will hope that Mark Riss can replicate his form in the Scottish Open, but I do not hold out much hope that Andersson will shake off his mediocre form. If Starke is fully fit, would not be surprised if Tigers post 50 points tomorrow Edited May 24, 2018 by cyclone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazc 7,093 Posted May 25, 2018 Monarchs to win this tonight by around 8 as in general we have been less than impressive away from home. It then sets things up for a close finish on Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It then sets things up for a close finish on Sunday. Have to agree with you and id settle for 8 as I think it will be more. Chris having blown one engine to bits has wrecked another bike riding for rye house . so goodness knows what he'll be riding maybe one of the bikes that kept failing early in the season? Paul back from injury and having to ride a tight technical track not the best type of track to make a comeback and Jack brilliant prospect but it takes years to learn Armadale and some never do. so relying on lewis, Richie and Claus and james whose last away match saw him score 0 at Redcar when riding at reserves - even Alfie bowtell got one for Lakeside at Redcar yesterday (no disrespect Alfie). So if 4 riders can't gat a win at Redcar, cant see how 3 can at Armadlae. Throw in the return of Coty Garcia and that makes the monarchs even stronger. Just hope i'm wrong though a big win for the monarchs could see more than 20 Edinburgh fans come through on Sunday which would be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) i thought his mechs had solved the problem with his engines or was that billshut from a certain poster ? aye , words are cheap . this cost jack ! good to read that sharpenrake and co have finally admitted that armadale is a trick track even for glasgow to visit .. .lol.

Gazc 7,093 Posted May 25, 2018 Now you can say all you like about Bomber but saying he took a dive with first bend bunching is just a silly comment to make. However 2 point defeat is better than i expected, should be enough but you can never be overly confident with this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw updates and the comments but did the referee actually state that Harris was excluded for diving, who was the referee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
