If Ippo kept their 12 point lead, they wouldn't have clapped, high fived or cheered? Do me favour. Biggest load of crap I have ever heard! I never said they shouldn't celebrate. They did get out of jail after all. Just don't do it opposite the Ipswich pit. You discount the fact that this might motivate them to ride a bit harder in the return match?

Nicolai Klindt explained perfectly the reason for the celebrations. At 12 down they were rapidly heading out the play offs then to turn it round in a hour to end been 10 up and slap bang in the tie deserves celebrating. Any team in any sport would celebrate in the same way . To say they would not is just silly . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Poole side of the pits is just behind where Natalie was standing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way did Middlo or the Poole team, and certainly not the fans think it was “in the bag”. Hawkins is just plain lying and he knows it. Perhaps it was therefore clever psychology and team management to get that thought in their heads...... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said the "get out of jail" performance was cause for celebration. But don't rub the other teams noses in it. Or perhaps you think Ipswich came into last night's meeting a beaten team.

They prob more annoyed they let a lead slip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in reality Kurtz, Holder, THJ and Wells were so poor last night the ipswich riders only had to ride passively to beat these 4 guys . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we'll agree to disagree. 3 minutes ago, lisa-colette said: If that winds Ippo riders up then they must get wound up all the time! I think that is a correct observation. However this was not at the end of the meeting in a one leg competition, it was at half time. But you and the Poole team are of course free to reject my analysis and do the same at the half way stage of all future play offs. It makes for a better second leg anyway.

I would like to know how they rubbed Ippo's noses in it. They celebrated on track and on their way back to the Poole side of the pits nowhere near the Ipswich side!

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 29, 2019 End of the day we all know (except Ipswich fans) the playoff final will be a poorer contest without Poole in it. Neutrals will have a couldn’t care less attitude about it. Wolves v Ipswich? Meh! Who wins who cares? Neutrals won’t give a flying toss. Swindon v Ipswich? Same. Other than the fans of these clubs no one else will really care. We all know with Poole in the final passions are raised sky high. There are no neutrals. And that’s the truth whether you like it or not. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
