Steve0 5,517 Posted July 5, 2018 8 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: Has to be said. Belle Vue were a complete shambles tonight. Fricke had his best meeting at Poole and was ably assisted by Scott Nicholls who tried in all his heats, but the rest of the aces were a bit of a joke, topped off by the antics of Craig Cook who was determined all night to jump the starts. In his second ride he got a monster roller and the crowd was stunned he got away with it. It wasn’t even close. The crowd made their feelings known to the ref. In his next ride Cook tried it again but went through the tapes. And then to top it off, in his next he did it again. He chased after the Poole riders but over “cooked” it on the last lap and slid into the fence. He tried to drag his bike out but then had a tantrum. That was the last we saw of him. Hope he isn’t injured but frankly a ridiculous performanc It seems Cookie not too impressed with the Poole fans either (from his tweet) "It takes a special amount interbreeding to be so messed up in the head you’re able to cheer at someone crashing a motor bike. Some people make me sick!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Poor response from Craig as he knew where he was. Regular occurrence there as they are not really speedway people, they just like to see Poole win whether it’s tiddly winks, bridge or speedway.

Not at all you had to be there to see why it happened not that I would cheer any rider who crashes bit unfair to Poole supporters as a whole !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted July 5, 2018 That’s also why it was a poor response. Why blame everyone when there are a few who wouldn’t cheer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 5, 2018 Cook was on a mission to make a complete and utter dick of himself last night and he succeeded with aplomb. You will always get a few cheering when an opposition rider slides off, but his antics during the meeting with his massive roller followed by two tape exclusions were instant karma. The huge strop he threw on track gave the crowd the ideal opportunity to let out a loud cheer. Judging by his twitter post he was still in a strop on his long journey home. What a pillock ! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 5, 2018 Over your childish strop yet Craig? What on earth does an oppo rider expect when he throws his toys out of his pram in front of the home crowd? It was comedy gold the crowd could see he wasn’thurt as it was a simple slide off and he got straight up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another forum member also given quite an extensive ban aswell today - definitely some snowflakes out there quick to report things rather than scrap it out. The only time somebody should be banned is if they are being directly abusive or harassing towards another member. And bans should be applied based on a fixed set of rules, and not who the admin does and doesn't like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people make me sick!" I would have thought a “Professional” motorcyclist would have demonstrated a better and more coordinated control of his machine. It appears the “hand/eye” coordination of this particular rider is not as good as it should be and he relies on the “3-2-1- go” principle which clearly let him down last night. In terms of “interbreeding and messed up heads”, perhaps that could be the underlying cause of the crash which eventually saw this particular rider effectively withdraw from the meeting and let his team mates down. Is this the stuff today’s Captains are made of? I should think not. LMF!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WestGorton1884 621 Posted July 5, 2018 Cheering when a visiting rider ploughs into the air fence is shameful, irrelevant if he got up or not afterwards. That goes for any fans 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
