emilali 500 Posted August 7, 2014 Really enjoyed my first visit to Redcar, decent track that provides flat out racing. Berwick really were a cut above throughout tonight, with Jensen and Bellego particularly good and Kus carrying on his good form. Why Jensen was excluded in ht15 was beyond me as he clearly didnt touch summera, he just passed him. Nice to see Edberg looking good, hopefully he can regain confidence and score well. Weathers form continues to be a worry if Berwick are to do anything in the play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted August 8, 2014 Rest assured unless Berwick would have a sick note they would not have had a guest that night. Stop complaining about your team and its in past, why bring it up again. Quite agree, if you looked at the post I was answering all would've become clear, its the rule that allows guests willy and indeed nilly that's the problem not what Berwick, or any other club do with it. Another good away win for Berwick, away wins are becoming quite a habit this season, we now have three home meetings in a week, all toughies, but three home win will go along win to securing a play-off place.

Robinh88 571 Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Redcar I feel have had a decent season considering they miss there Number One when Redcar and Lakeside race on the same night It also doesn't help when in essence when Havelock repaced Kozza Smith with Konopka an 8 point man for a sub 3 point rider? As for the Bandits impressive Vissing scoring 2, he would have had 14 there the last time had it not been for a EF.

redlead 104 Posted August 8, 2014 Bears were out gated, out fought and out ridden, some hard 1st bends which Berwick won! Berwick fully deserved their win. Edberg was lucky to not be excluded in heat 2, clearly hit Konopka, but would have had little effect on the final result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northyorksbear 610 Posted August 8, 2014 Well done to Berwick - by far the best team on the night and only Summers kept us in the meeting. However If I were a Bandits fan I would be disappointed with the result as 4 points were easily available, Vissing and Wethers very poor and team manager abysmal, obvious to everyone Kus should have had 7 rides and Jensen/Bellego 5 each. Extra point may not be crucial, but who knows?? Certainly when Bandits face tougher opposition they need their troops marshalling with much better efficiency. Good Luck to Bandits for the play offs - lets keep the power in the North 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crescent girl 1,907 Posted August 8, 2014 Kus should have had 7 rides and Jensen/Bellego 5 each. Er, Jensen did have five rides! Kus probably the correct choice of Bellego for Heat 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montie 1,273 Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Can`t help but be impressed with the way this Berwick team have done this season, --fair play to them Edited August 8, 2014 by montie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northyorksbear 610 Posted August 8, 2014 Er, Jensen did have five rides! Kus probably the correct choice of Bellego for Heat 15. Yes - the point I was making was that Kus should have had 7 rides before heat 15 & then use Jensen & Bellego 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robinh88 571 Posted August 8, 2014 6 point scoring riders... that's the secret to our success Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northyorksbear 610 Posted August 8, 2014 6 point scoring riders... that's the secret to our success If all 7 are 6 pointers that's 42 in total - can't see much success with that formula Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marron 7 Posted August 8, 2014 Why Jensen was excluded in ht15 was beyond me as he clearly didnt touch summera This was another case of a ref failing to show consistency. Konopka went down in a similar situation in heat 2 but was excluded instead of Edberg. It would have been nice to see the ref either exclude both Berwick riders or both Redcar riders in those incidents. By excluding Konopka in one and Jensen in the other the referee invited criticism.

redlead 104 Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Not sure I understand the logic behind excluding either both Berwick riders or both Redcar riders? Surly it depends on which rider was guilty! From where I was standing on the entry to the first bend, ref got the Konopka decision wrong and the Jensen one correct!

From where I was standing on the entry to the first bend, ref got the Konopka decision wrong and the Jensen one correct! My point was that both situations were identical so either exclude Edberg and Jensen in their respective heats for both being the causes of the falls or exclude Konopka and Summers for both going down easily. For what it's worth, I also thought the same as you about both. The referee excluding Jensen made me wonder why he didn't exclude Edberg when he pulled the same move. I'm not sure how he can come up with 2 different decisions for 2 identical situations. Edited August 8, 2014 by Garuda 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure how he can come up with 2 different decisions for 2 identical situations. I was at the opposite side of the track, so couldn't see who caused the incidents. All I can say is that it certainly didn't look like Summers bailed-out as he hit the fence very hard. Did Pijper make contact with Vissing when he went down?
