Yearbyred 1,104 Posted May 21, 2022 Well I paid for the stream but , quite frankly, wish I hadn’t. Not a reflection on the stream itself, which was excellent, but the dreadful performance from the Bears against a weakened Monarchs line up. A 3 man team (one of those was a guest reserve) can’t win a meeting. Allen was a very poor guest, disappointed Edwards (after his spell at Edinburgh last year) seemed so far off the pace and the least said about Roynon and Andersen the better. Not even competitive. Pickering aside, no one looked like passing anyone and most races were settled by the end of the first lap. Bears gating was generally appalling and they were way behind after turn 2. Bears deserved nothing from the meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted May 21, 2022 Much better performance from the lads last night. After sarj going down in heat 2 thought we were in a bit of bother but the guys were all fantastic. Much better from paco last night which was good to see. Really pleased for Jacob making a few gates as well will do wonders for his confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Jamie 356 Posted May 21, 2022 An eventful evening at sunny Armadale. Dust in heat one. Who'd have thunk it? Schoolboy error watering immediately before heat 2, although we'll never know if it contributed to the crash. Speedy recovery to young Sarj. I doubt he'll be changing many nappies for a while. Two blips on the Masters scorechart. Firstly at the 10th, when Erik Riss blew him a kiss and left him trailing. Then on the final hole, there was another episode of Sleepy Sam, when Lewis Kerr was allowed to go right round him. Overall acceptable, but still room for improvement there. Much better from the others though. The Italian plumber certainly had the hot tap turned on last night. The switch to number 4 appeared to have worked wonders. Leaving without a point may well have been hard to Bear for the visitors but, ultimately, they only have themselves to blame by getting their Wright guest wrong. And what has happened to Kasper Andersen? He was dreadful. Finishing on a positive, special mention to Ben Morley who has always a competent performer on smaller circuits, without ever looking spectacular. Well done. Roll on Friday. Brum Brum and all that... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think maybe, just maybe, they're working on something but as with other clubs there's not a great deal out there? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way it's going for James sadly at the moment he's going to have more metal in parts of his body than our former Newcastle & Redcar Adam roynon in his body.. These speedway lads love it tho & hats off to them Edited May 21, 2022 by Justgotmecpc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
