Mr Blobby 2,691 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Well were to start. Congrats to them on their win thats all your getting. We havn't been that great the last few weeks away from the tapes but last night we were stinking if your going to give away 10 meters going into the first corner most races your going to get beat 9 times out of 10. Last nights defeat is probably a good kick up the backside that we needed as a team IMO. Gives the boys a bit of a wake up call that it isn't going to be as easy as it was last year. Anyway we are still the big team in these parts winning 16 of the last 20 derbies says it all. Edited June 13, 2015 by Mr Blobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are only as good as your last meeting Which means we are good and your lot are not so good really hope you can manage to hang on to a play off spot to pro-long your season so as we can then end it with a bang.

Young51 156 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) That's made my bloody night , well done tigers , Mr Blobby will be going through himself after that result. After our spanking at scunny it certainly put a smile back on my face. Would love to have seen his face.......priceless Enjoy tigger fans Balance of power has shifted in Scotland---get in Tigers!! See you all next week!! Soooooo happy for all the Tiggers fans I do find it pretty sad when fans of other teams bask in the glory of someone elses victory.i don't understand that mentality thankfully but in TaylorJ's case being a Comets fan you have to get your jollies somehow i guess.As for the 'balance of power' shifting Brummiestormer..correct me if i'm wrong but it is still June and nothing's been won yet..apart from one match?Well..what can i say about last night apart from well done to the Weegies..the best team won out on the night and i certainly wouldnt grudge those Tiggers fans who have supported their team through thin and thinner.It's easy to support your team when times are good but the real ones stick in when times are bad..fair play and enjoy your win..for now.. You sensed the Tigers had a feeling we were there for the taking and our guys were strangely subdued.Our gating was atrocious and the Tiggers err wasnt lol..James Sarjeant must have piles as in nearly all his races he wouldnt sit still at the start but when it's Willie Dishwasher in the box nothing surprises me.Anyways,i hope the riders in Blue & Gold are hurting as much as i am today..We have to pick ourselves up and i'm sure we will.We have too many good riders not to.. as i say enjoy your win for now my buckie swallying china's well done Edited June 13, 2015 by Young51 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandit59 1,154 Posted June 13, 2015 I thought it was at Berwick all gate n go but no.Glasgow deserved their win never seen Lawson ride like that used to be gash when he came with Worky great guest in Richie not bad for basically 5 riders never going to see Berwick do that sure Edinburgh will be racking up big scores again looks like Edinburgh and Glasgow will finish in top 6 like to see Berwick there as well if we dont have any more injuries.

george.m 3,063 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Credit where it's due. On here and in the media the Monarchs have been magnanimous in their assessment of last night. Good on you. Let's hope for a good crowd coming through from Edinburgh tomorrow, mucho friendly banter, sunny weather, good racing and everyone going home safe. PS And 15 heats of tapes working! http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/speedway/tigers-have-their-tails-up-after-dethroning-monarchs-1-3801186 Edited June 13, 2015 by george.m 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike Glasgow on my visits to both Blantyre tracks and Shawfield and now Ashfield we actually felt welcome so although i basically have a myopic view of my scottish speedway bretheren i know where i'd sooner be at it's never going to be Edinburgh--Up the Tigers!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edinburgh far from had it easy last year, and with Masters slumping since he's gone to number 1, Branford/Riss not cutting it in the main body and Sedgmen up and down also, it must be nearly time for the panic button to be hit at Armadale.

You're entitled to your view but that doesnt sound like the club i've supported all these years at all..sure you get arses at every track..aye even Glasgow believe it or not,but to tar all of us with the same brush isnt on.. Glasgow are more than welcome to you by the sound of it anyways.. 10 metres behind going into turn 1? Lol. I find that hard to believe somehow.

It's one match Najjer..no need for panic buttons.. You should maybe look a bit closer to home and focus your concerns there?

Young51 156 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) That would be the same Somerset that bottled it last year They sure did Blobby..their backbone fell right through their holes..so they resorted to cheating!Before i get all dewy eyed at the memory of that unforgettable evening and get back to this season..it'll be interesting to see if and it's a big IF Glasgow get through to finals whether they have the character in their team to seal the deal and win when the real sphincter tests come along..who knows..it's one thing to win in June on a bad night for the Blue & Gold,but what'll happen when it come's to the crunch?It'll fun seeing how it all pans out..

lucifer sam 3,960 Posted June 13, 2015 James Sarjeant must have piles as in nearly all his races he wouldnt sit still at the start So no Edinburgh rider has ever moved at the tapes and got away with it?
