Playoff Semi Final 2nd Leg. Ipswich v Poole 28/9/19

Recommended Posts

Fantastic from all the witches tonight, I really like the way we toyed with them, letting them have a big heat win every so often. 

It would be nice to do well in the final, maybe even win it. To be honest I wouldn't care if we didn't, tonight was my final, beating the oh so smugs, actually the oh so cheating smugs.    

Thank you to all the witches riders tonight, thank you. 

Ps, josh and a klindt would be great additions to next year's team.

Not sure about Klindt bit of a gating tart. Was made to look a fool in heat 15 when complaining to ref about rain and pulled over as soon as race started, and then had to watch Danny & Nico go at it to prove you could race close.

I mean part of this klindt thing might be the fact he has the biggest meeting he has probably ever had tomorrow. 
 

place in Extraliga or a heat which means nothing.

Starry, no offence, but one minute you can't afford to go to Ipswich, & now it appears you have managed to find the funds to go to Rome with Shovvy !!!!!!!!!

Yes !! Yes !! Yes !! :party:

Congratulations Ipswich, love it when the 'underdogs' come through, best of luck in the Grand Final , keep believing :t: And who would have thought Sargent would seal the deal in heat 14, I suppose there's a first for everything :D

As for Poole, dear oh dear , your number 1 and 5 were pathetic, as for Holder , never been a fan of him or his brother, think they are far better than they are, should be ashamed of themselves letting their fans down like that tonight :rolleyes: a big toe injury ...........grow a set of balls Holder !! Credit to Josh , Nicolai and Covatti, for riding their backsides off the scoreline could have been much worse without them 

 

I think thats a bit harsh on Chris who is as an ex World Champion. Can't get much better than that.

Just got back. Horrible journey in the rain and gales. Here’s a little rant, mostly aimed at underperforming Poole riders.

A frustrating couple of meetings. Poole were are far superior side but luck and a bad attitude played their part to even things up. The short and sharp rain shower just before the first leg allowed Ipswich the opportunity they took this evening. I believe if the track hadn’t got the heavy downpour  we would have won by 20 plus points and would have got away with it tonight.

But an EF for Covatti in heat one when well clear, plus him losing a steel shoe latter, was unfortunate for us. Add to that the attitude of Holder and Kurtz and we were always going to come unstuck in the later heats. We had no cover.Our two reserves were actually worse than useless tonight. Both Wells and Jonasson, together with Holder and Kurtz, couldn’t handle a track which had been doctored, (which the home team are entitled to do)and basically gave up. They didn’t want to know.

Nicolai Klindt, Josh Gracjzonek and Nico Covatti did all they could and should be praised for their efforts. Yes the track was diabolical with Iversen far from happy but they got on with it. Kurtz and Holder have let their club down, their team mates down and the Poole fans down. I am pretty sure Middlo is pissed off with them right now and so will be Matt Ford, who has just lost a big payday due to these big girls blouses. It was an abject, dismal performance and not of a standard we expect from our team. Where was the passion from our “top two?”

Sure Ipswich got lucky in the first leg with the weather, but we should have managed to defend against a team, with due respect, who are not as strong.

I hope next season sees the return of Klindt, Gracjzonek and Covatti. Those three have battled all season for the cause. The same cannot be said of the other two, who IMO haven’t shown the right attitude when it matters. When is the last time we have seen Kurtz actually battle through? Not this season. Holder? The same.

This seasons Poole team has been the weakest I have known for years. How on Earth we finished top is anyones guess.

Well done to Ipswich in making the final. I don’t think you will stand a chance against either Wolves or Swindon but at least you are in it. And that’s what counts. Congrats.

I am actually off for a weeks flying in Bassano Del Grappa. Flying to Venice in a couple of weeks time, the train up to the alps. Wonderful.

Shovlar you state that the track was diabolical, but if your riders attack the track with the right attitude they would be able to ride it. Your two young aussie tarts are used to flat out slick European tracks and can't handle a track you have to use your throttle on.

Did you speak to Niels to ask him if he was unhappy about the track?

I question whether you are a far superior team to Ipswich as you have to have the right attitude to be that and Poole were found wanting in that tonight. Even you state in your post that Kurtz & Holder haven't battled through all season.

You say that Ipswich were lucky with the weather before the first leg, nobody knows what the score would've been if it had been fine, you think 20 points but this is speedway and any thing can happen. You can't go on previous meetings as tonight proved.

A specialist was heard to say to one of the nurses that one of Jack's toes had "gone to market", whilst one had "stayed at home", another had seemingly had "roast beef", but another toe had "had none"...

Most worrying though was that it is believed that the smallest of Jack's toes had gone "wee, wee, wee, wee, all the way home"!!!!

 

I've not heard that since i was about 5! :rofl:
