iris123 20,848 Posted March 30, 2020 6 minutes ago, Grachan said: So maybe debateable (looked to me like Chlinovski's fault - another Penhall/Carter perhaps!), but far from a terrible decision to exclude Chlinovski. I have the video of this meeting somewhere, and Dave Lanning's commentary on it seems confused too and he starts banging on about pro-Polish decisions. Yet he, himself, says that Chlinovski rode Plech into the terracing. If the referee deemed Plech to be innocent, then the decision to give the heat to Collins actually went against Plech, so I don't see why everyone was saying he was pro-Poland. One thing that was amusing in the Wiki page was that eye-witness accounts said it was Plech's own fault. You don't say! Certainly the piece about long believed that referee Traunspurger 'was himself Polish' comes across a bit strange....by whom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, a direct quote from Lanning: ""It seems to me that the authorities here in Katowice are making up the rules to suit themselves to get their boys a world title." Yet he's just refused Plech the chance of a re-run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,848 Posted March 30, 2020 Of course one of the very best is that Joe Screen Polish league one where he squeezes through a gap that isn't really there to win the league for his team, I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Flag 454 Posted March 30, 2020 I think it was Piotr Swist and Billy Hamill team riding him out until he dived between them going into 3rd bend last lap, brilliant if someone could post if 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Ore 204 Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Maybe this one. For those watching in black and white, Joe Screen is in the blue helmet. Edited March 30, 2020 by Mr Ore error 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
