That was mentioned at Glasgow tonight but who knows for sure.

Pickering having a nightmare bring our major downfall, he’s normally good for double figures round Ashfield. 
Looks like his performance may cost us on this occasion.

That's a bit harsh. Pickering clearly tried his guts out but on this occasion just didn't pick up the points his efforts normally achieve. Also give some credit to the Tigers riders who were immense and were unlucky not to take a bigger lead to Armadale. Just hope its enough.

Not saying he didn’t try, just unfortunately had a bad night.

Maybe just Maybe the home riders were to fast for him.

Not sure Edinburgh will pull this one back? But they got 2nd chance in the semi final play offs think that could be closer?

Track will be same for play offs. If we make it). Not a lot of dirt. Shame but weather has played its part.

Best team won on the night but what was the referee playing at in heat 15?  Clearly under the rules Brennan should have been penalised as he was not on his machine, still gardening, as the 2 minutes expired.  I know that a strong referee would have done so.

The 2 minutes regularly timed out in several heats and the riders were still not coming to the tapes. Inconsistent refereeing is one of my pet hates. MacGregor usually has none of it and excludes someone early on. It quickly changes rider behaviour. The worst refs let some jump starts go and call back others, sometimes in the same meeting!

Agree,there is no point in having it.No messing in Poland you can see the rider continually glancing at the clock.

Yes, it happened far too often. I think the starting marshal needs to invite riders to the start earlier too. Refs should warn both teams before the start and once the first rider is excluded, it won’t happen again.
