Call me wolfie 677 Posted August 5, 2019 Well, the matter is being investigated by the SCB, who have requested witness statements from various people so if there's any truth in it Cook will be in serious trouble I would think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the BSPA will throw the book at Cook and he gets banned for a couple of years. no fan of cook but he looks like he didn't see the flagman and what kind of bloke walks straight in front of cook when cook wasn't looking at him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,778 Posted August 5, 2019 Well that’s not half as bad as described on the meeting thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to say from the vid.He was only doing 10mph. If I were that bloke I would have moved way before then. The bloke must of seen and heard the riders coming. Looked 50/50 to me. But the headbutt/ shoulder barge what ever it was, was way out of order. Edited August 5, 2019 by Bald Bloke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must be kidding right ? Typical of society these days. Just face up to it he clearly head butts him no alleged here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe where your from you would class that as a head butt but you can clearly see Craig's shoulder dropping giving him a barge, as I stated it should not have happened in the first place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agreewith th 50/50 assessment but if Craig didn't see him from the apex of the turn then that's a poor show and although he clearly steers to his right the marshall goes that way too, force a rider to turn right and they run the risk of the footrest digging in.

All started by the actions of the Marshall who should NOT be standing in the middle of the track flagging. Completely wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BS SteveBrum. The marshall was there because the ref had put the red lights on as soon as Cook and 2 others broke away from the riders and mascot presentation parade which is held on the back straight at Arlington. This was on turn 2 with Cook having already ridden bends 3, 4 and 1 as well as the main straight with the red lights on!! Flag marshall was only doing what is instructed. In any case with the SCB Co-Ordinator there to witness it all as well as the ref's report, then the SCB hearing will doubtless clarify everything - and take everything into account including the Glasgow owner's public apology on the microphone for his riders' actions.

Pinny 2,536 Posted August 6, 2019 There is no doubt Cook rivals Scheiln as the top pillock in UK speedway but shouldn’t the flag marshall be on the centre green so to speak waving just the flag so the riders could see it? After watching the video it seems to me that the flag marshall wandered mid track almost looking for trouble. Either way Cook tried headbutting him with his helmet on (it is an attempted headbutt without question, not a shoulder barge!) and should at the very least cop a fine and a ban for that. Shocking. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
