Gazc 7,101 Posted August 22, 2016 Don't really see the point off if this one was riding or that one was riding or if we take out this one out. Bottom line we lost and Somerset won no big deal it happens and the visitors fully deserved it yesterday. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aroundtheboards 264 Posted August 22, 2016 It's getting a bit repetitive now, Dan Bewley won you a meeting. Fact indeed, as Stuart Dickenson said on Speedway GB, but you still fail to notice that Bewley's points made up for the loss of points that Wright and BWD would probably have scored to off set ZW's lack of points had he been riding. You can keep this up all day !!! SOMERSET nicked the win off you either way and you lost because you got complacent after the Tractor Display. You should have had the meeting put to bed by then, you had already made a good comeback and binned it !!! Get over it and move on !!! We will, bring on Plymouth !!! Oh and Edinburgh and Berwick !!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,378 Posted August 22, 2016 Do the Promotion offer any explanation for these tractor displays.Max said track needed watered to keep dust down and neighbours happy and grading was needed to stop track being patchy which is fair enough but the amount of grading just dried the track up again IMO.Even though air fence was damaged was there any need for so many laps.I reckon they were going to go round till they ran out of diesel.!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same every week I'm afraid they must be on some bonus related payment if they do over 30 laps only reason i can think off .

Oh and Edinburgh and Berwick !!!I'm a Berwick fan and fully understand that Somerset won, just you have posted the same thing that you won several times and it seems as if you're gloating. I still think Glasgow will win around 50-40 if you meet in the playoffs with Somerset winning over the two legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damosuzuki 696 Posted August 22, 2016 Somerset should be in front of the BSPA for a political display with those flags Deduct points or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted August 22, 2016 tbf i think glasgow would have battered the usual somerset 1-7.... 20 points from guests is a 40 point swing in the match, even if allen and zak got 12 between them its still 8 off somerset and 8 on glasgow... Daft sport is speedway and the rebels continue to carry all before them. No it isn't a 40 point swing at all. If for arguements sake, we were to assume young Zak would of scored 0 instead of Bewley's 13 then it isn't just a case of knocking 13 off Somerset's score and adding 13 to Glasgow's. As an example, in heat 2 Wilson-Dean would of then scored 1 point instead of 0. In heat 4 Tungate would then of scored 2 points instead of 1 and so on. It always amazes me how many people always get this wrong in Speedway when trying to recalculate scores!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aroundtheboards 264 Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) All's well that ends well in my book ! Bye for now Glasgow. PS. I only gloat when people keep moving goal posts and finding excuses for their poor performance and abilities !!!

Paulco 7,080 Posted August 22, 2016 What we witnessed yesterday was a real emerging talent . Never before has a green tractor driver shown such guile and track craft . The way he hunted down and passed the red tractor on lap 27 , and then repeated the manoeuvre 43 laps later was breathtaking . Well worth the admission money despite the speedway breaks in between 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
