Bagpuss 10,778 Posted May 15, 2022 I can understand the point of view that Brennan should have ridden for GB instead of Harris but once selected you can't turn down your country and Bomber has always represented GB with pride and given 100%. Disappointing Woffinden didn't ride, if he was standing aside for younger riders then fair enough but that obviously wasn't the case with Harris picked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I go to the football I usually get a trained referee and not a trainee doing a professional game. The official scorecard shows Chris Gay was the referee with Gary Allen as his trainee. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratching wot I av left of a brain I believe you are correct, at least that was probably the ruling last week. Every chance it will have changed by now.

Scratching wot I av left of a brain In the basic rules on Website it states that a tac sub can be used between Ht5 and heat 14 inclusive.but I’m sure your not allowed to use it in ht 8 in the Championship.But who knows.!!

SR 012.4.4 a) is permitted on only one occasion in heat 5 – 14, excluding heat 8, when a team is 6 or more points in arrears The rule is applicable to both PL & CL Edited May 15, 2022 by NeilWatson Clarity 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe having a trainee in charge and putting the red lights on when the riders are in the 3rd/4th bend with Lee Complin (after being taken out in a first bend incident) in the first bend fence isn't the best (was 2nd time I looked at the refs box). Wonder if any of the races will be posted on social media like the last few weeks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean we had 5 riders and lost by 4 points… wasn’t an excuse at all, just an observation as I’m not afraid to say our track was poor in comparison to other meetings, unlike you clowns with your trenches on bend 2, craters in bend 4 and 200 fans but all is fine. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best example is Scunny vs Plymouth: Palin & Lambert would get a protected heat 8 against Bowtell & Morley, but the far weaker Kingsley races against Barker & Palm Toft, which isn't a protected heat!
