Sorry you are incorrect  I have little interest in speedway since losing Coventry (apart from the GP's) Poole were our rivals and  I had a healthy bias towards my home team then. If I were to follow a team at all it would be Leicester as it's closest to me. Methinks that you still wear rose tinted glasses along with your mate Steve. I watched both legs on TV and the decisions  by the ref. against King's Lynn were dreadful (perhaps the ref. is a little richer now) As for your track -- don't even get me started -- slick and boring. However if it rocks your boat enjoy!!!

And what about the long list of ref calls that favoured Lynn last night?

Coventry was superb venue, such a shame its missing, just watching Olsen farewell on youtube shows what speedway is missing..should never of taken british final away either, Eastbourne was disastrous british final venue...cant argue much about NSS though

I fully understand where you are coming from with regards NKI. He stood there in front of the camera last night and said he was perfectly fine. He felt rough on Monday but perfectly fine today and will be available for the KO Cup. 

 

As regards NKI's injury, am i not right in thinking he was hospitalised with a head injury which would mean the concussion protocol would come into play and he has to sit out for a specific number of days. He maybe said he was fine and appeared so but medical opinion may have differed and that has to be the over- ruling factor.

Ah but Steve the KIngs Lynn fan behind me said it wasn't first bend bunching in heat 3 as it was after the first bend and the Poole rider should have got excluded!!

I don't know that concussion has been mentioned by anyone until now... If it was concussion, fair enough... The only thing reported was head injury

As someone with a medical background I know if a HIA is carried out the possibility of a delayed concussion must be considered and the proper actions taken.
Even if he appeared to escaped any brain injury on that occasion the possibility of another serious trauma shortly after has to be considered.
Rider's safety is paramount and has to be the first consideration.

Yes I correct that in my post but wasn’t quick enough!

just watching it now and when Woryna fell there was no way he did it on purpose or could have got up from that. The ref was completely wrong. The rules is there for a team on a 5-1 and one of the riders at the back lays it down to get a rerun. That wasn’t the situation last night. No wonder Nicolai was aggrieved. Ref massively favouring Kings Lynn in every decision.

I'm sorry but Woryna bailed out & stayed down. I think the ref got that one right.  Woryna  made a mistake coming out of bend 3. Tried to lean on Riss who was faster & came inside Woryna who then pooped himself & laid it down. Could have got up as wasn't injured. That's from a neutral perspective.

He didn’t “poop himself” He was fairly ridden wide by Riss and lost control. A world of difference than be tailed off then just slide off to get a rerun. That was the reason the rule was brought in. Kasper hit the fence fairly hard and I doubt any rider would have got up and cleared the track in about 10 seconds. Ref abused the rule.

Yet when Toft had his leg taken away he "bailed out"?

Of course he did, could have backed off & not try to ''lean'' on Riss. He caused his own downfall. Whether Klindt should have gone off 15 is another matter.

The rule re starting off 15m in a re run mentions nothing about it being in place just for situations where a rider stays down

It states it is at the sole discretion of the ref where riders of one team are in 3rd and 4th at the time of the stoppage

I think the way he looked up, saw that the state of the race, and then stayed down was the reason the ref put Klindt off 15M.

I didn't know the rule existed to be honest, think it worked well in that situation.

At the end of the day the record books will show Poole as 2018 SGB Champions. However so we do not have this situation where the best team over the season does not ultimately become Champions perhaps some allowance should be made for topping the league (apart from pick of opponents and choice of home or away leg first). 

Ultimately King's Lynn finished 9 points ahead of Poole in the table so perhaps KL should have been given a 9 point start for the final. Opinions?

I think they do (or did) that in the Danish final, top start with so many points & so on.
