Really disappointing to see the Glasgow manager (???) saying refereeing decisions cost them tonight. He doesn't think putting Harris out in ht when he didn't deserve to be there (and not for the first time this season) cost us?
Truth is we didn't lose by a single point - Worky were the team that lost that point when Bach retired in the rerun of ht 1 so it should have been a 2 point defeat.
Congratulations to the Comets and best wishes for your THREE Finals. I know there are stories going round there are doubts over you coming to the tapes next season so I hope the town and surrounding areas come out and give Laura and her team the support deserved.

Trying to deflect blame it was an inappropriate comment to make but not unsurprising.

He would have been better looking at our teams failings rather than a petty comment on the referee , didn't hear him mention anything about the desicions that went our way at the home meeting.

Yes it lacks class and should just be congratulating our opponents on there victory rather than highlighting desicions he alleges went against us.

What has happened to the once great track at Derwent Park? That was a meeting that could only be compared to a Berwick match. Maybe they have adopted the “win at all costs” mentality from our nearest and dearest down the road?

A lot of people giving Bomber grief here, he can’t, and never has been able to gate, he had no chance tonight. Same goes to Starke too, he likes/needs dirt. That was the deciding factor tonight. If Claus gated he done well. Ricky has obviously learned from last week when the track was just a dry version of what it was last night. 

The announcer gave a statement apologising to fans for a mistake the referee had  made without saying what her mistake was? 6 month ban coming up? The simple sport we follow is made complicated by the rule book and baffling by referees “interpretations” of said book.

Good luck to Worky and their promotion for their future endeavours. Hope Jensen is ok.

Due to the amount of rain that fell during the previous couple of days, I think we should just be thankful that we had a smooth, safe surface to race on.

NB That applies to both meetings yesterday by the way.

WOW! What a day yesterday was , emotionally drained :lol: our boys certainly know how put us through it ! Commiserations to Glasgow fans that must be a bitter pill to swallow , I know how I would be feeling today to lose by 1point. Both teams had their misfortunes so the matches were evened out , nothing to do with referees as your Team Manager has said . Must admit thought Harris would have gone through the card after watching on telly last week for Poole , he was a completely different rider :blink: 

Thanks to the Glasgow fans for your well wishes , shame Sharpenrake and Manse couldn’t crawl from under their stones to do the same :D

Now we get ready to go again this weekend and do it all again , so proud of all our boys , our Dream Team 2018 :approve:

A good days racing,with an exciting ending,fortunes and misfortunes kind of even out,but not putting Wells in Ht 15 was an error IMO.

Congrats to Comets.

The only real mistake a referee can make at the start is either holding the riders too long on the greenlight or not holding them long enough assuming the green light was actually put on!

Congrats to Tigers.

Yet again Harris was put out when he didn't deserve to be.
Really got to wonder if the stories about HIM having the choice to go out in ht15 no matter the circumstances are true?

Regarding the track with the amount of rain that fell in Workington in the previous 48 hours thank your lucky stars and the track staff for getting the meeting on with a raceable track

Also the announcer is linked up to the referee so will have got a message of what needed to be said

Hopefully not - there are 2 under suspension already.
