Paulco 7,080 Posted May 30, 2014 That was absolutely dreadful . Fair enough Edinburgh are a very good side , but those first 8 heats tonight were the worst i've ever seen from a Tigers side . 36-12 after heat 8 and two taccy rides producing zilch , i thought were were going to be lucky to get 20 never mind the 32 we managed to muster . No heart , no fight apart from Anders Thomsen , a truely abysmal performance . We showed more fight during the average fixing meeting in 2010 than we did in those first 8 heats tonight . Where we go from here god only knows , but we have to take a long hard look at ourselves , cause we still have a decent following , but we are being force fed garbage . Wolbert starts to ride once the meeting is lost , Pijper looked as if he'd never seen Armadale before . We're having to watch Cook popping wheelies half a lap ahead of our riders . It's just not good enough . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted May 30, 2014 How we only scored 58 is a mystery! If it wasn't for the exclusion of max, Deek being pants in a couple of his races we would have hit at least 60. not seen a glasgow side so bad since that we average dropping match. Maybe they were up to their old tricks? Anders Thomsen was the only one that looked interested, Theo looked like he had never seen the place before, Lemon was towing a caravan and agent wolbert didn't turn up till heat 13. Justin sedgmen deserved his heat 15 tonight looked very tidy tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tyretrax 2,253 Posted May 30, 2014 Better watch out Paulco, if Flying Tiger reads your post you'll be in front of a firing squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone 943 Posted May 30, 2014 I believe Theo was riding under the handicap of broken foot sustained at a long track or grass track event. Perhaps he would have been better withdrawing earlier. Agree not much of a contest, the best races being Andersen reeling in Worrall & Masters in ht 4, and Cook eventually passing Wolbert in ht 13. Can appreciate Tigs fans frustration with Wolbert, one race on the TS he looked useless, next time out he blows everyone away with a classy ride. Hope Paulco appreciated the Emmerdales "Smug what Me ! " cards waved in his direction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
