ytsejam 312 Posted September 30, 2015 Whatever the rights & wrongs of gogglegate, both legs made that a fantastic final which was a credit to both teams and both sets of fans. Very true and despite the "gogglegate" scenario, I'm pleased for DARCY that Poole won, it must have lifted his spirits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bleeds Pirate Blue 192 Posted September 30, 2015 Well I'm sure the goggles discussion will be seen as the biggest controversy in speedway since Carter v Penhall by the select few on here, but seriously. Think about it. People believe Poole are not true champion because in one ride they got a 5-1 with one rider not wearing goggles. It's ridiculous, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the discussions! Too true! Now Carter v Penhall, that WAS an incident work debating!! This is all nonsense. Meeting essentially ended in Ht14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liam 376 Posted September 30, 2015 To take points off of someone for not wearing goggles is ridiculous anyway, their have been plenty of riders who take them off after a lap anyway. The best team won over two legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob VDS 101 Posted September 30, 2015 Yes I was , as the BEST Poole could have got from that heat would have been 3 - 3 and therefore 2 less points for them and 2 more for Belle Vue. Fair enough but wouldn't kyle have gone off 15m? The way he was riding who's to say he couldn't have chased the BV riders down? BV deserve huge credit for contributing to a fabulous final and can count themselves unlucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,662 Posted September 30, 2015 Unlucky Belle Vue thought you rode your socks off tonight. Cookie is becoming a favourite of mine,just hope he can make the next step up next year.He was absolutely awesome tonight and on Monday. People blaming Belle Vue losing this tie on Monday but I think it was lost at the start of the season with how the FTRs were sorted .Over the 2 legs Pooles FTRs outscored Belle Vues by 29-10.So Belle Vues top 5 outscored Pooles by 17 points which is pretty good in itself. Lets see if the SCB have any balls now and let them share the trophy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace no.5 169 Posted September 30, 2015 Very disappointed. Congratulations to Poole. SCB let the sport down again. A statement should have been made regards "gogglegate" before the meeting as it is quite clear that they were just hoping it would be an easy Poole win and that would be that, It wouldn't matter. But it does matter... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, yes that WOULD have been possible so therefore it probably also negates the argument about the "2 "points altogether then as Poole could still have got a 5 -1 even if the referee/starter had had done their job correctly! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markyb 323 Posted September 30, 2015 RUBBISH!.............................but not in the way you think I mean it!!...IF people actually thought about things rather than just follow the others like sheep, you'd realise that IF Newman had been disqualified from that heat on Monday (rightly or wrongly), then Poole would have had 2 less points and Belle Vue 2 MORE, so it WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A GOLDEN HEAT at all!!!..........I wish people would actually think before they post!! Too right - fantastic post. It appears CHEATS do prosper after all. And they say football is corrupt. so sorry for the supporters of speedway as they are the innocent ones who spend time and money on the "sport" and being treated like idiots. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arson fire 4,785 Posted September 30, 2015 Refs really shouldnt get decisions wrong in the biggest meeting in British speedway... With multiple cameras... If Bv questioned it, it would have taken seconds to review footage and therefore not causing all the fuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
