Gavan 5,073 Posted July 26, 2014 It is nice that you acknowledge the points he scored was the difference between Sheffield winning, or losing. yes it was his 3 points that made the difference jeez. The trouble is here you can count on one hand the cockiness of the Edinburgh. True speedway fans dont mock and jest at other clubs yet can still enjoy thier side. Unfortunatly the same select few are turning neutrals against the side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I don't believe them to be smug, they have good grounds to be smug. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I don't believe them to be smug, they have good grounds to be smug. Damn right they have, instead of hurling insults towards the Monarchs it might be an idea if some clubs supporters were asking them why aren't we looking at what Edinburgh are doing to be so successful and applying it to their own teams. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blacksmith 53 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) yes it was his 3 points that made the difference jeez. The trouble is here you can count on one hand the cockiness of the Edinburgh. True speedway fans dont mock and jest at other clubs yet can still enjoy thier side. Unfortunatly the same select few are turning neutrals against the side Spin King pointed out that Sam was the match winner, I merely pointed out that it was nice for him to acknowledge the fact .He had a bad crash, and wrecked his bike , so it was hardly as though he wasn't trying . Edinburgh booked a shocking guest last season, and I aired my displeasure to John Campbell, and Brian Gray (Edinburgh directors ) on my entry to the stadium on the night . I am sure he tried his best, and it wasn't his fault he was booked, but he was awful. I certainly wouldn't go on his own teams forum if he had a good score his next match, to have a dig at him. Is it being smug defending one of my teams riders, that despite the occasional low score, always gives 100%? Edited July 26, 2014 by Blacksmith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't remember any insult's a lot of banter but can't see were the insult's are or maybe the definition on insult is seen differently from person to person and anyway enough of sticking up for them or they will be gloating even more but you are correct they are a really good team just wish they would assemble a really crap one for a change .

Adrian.michal, to name a few oh and on top of that we haven't been back at shielfield for 20 odd years 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blacksmith 53 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I have seen some good racing at Shielfield over the years, but my two visits this year have witnessed almost zero passing after the sort out on the first half lap, or so. The track can produce good racing, so it would seem it is the preparation that is letting it down Edited July 26, 2014 by Blacksmith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
