ragdoll64 647 Posted February 9, 2017 Dropping 2 points off your average and then putting it back on one season later is cheating the paying public so yes for the hard off hearing he was CHEATING the fans Hmmm clear enough. Aye, and the rest of speedway is so squeaky clean................ok for oor team tae break the rules and CHEAT the fans though when it suits. Glad I'm not naieve enough to think that manipulation isnae rife throughout our sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,098 Posted February 9, 2017 Aye, and the rest of speedway is so squeaky clean................ok for oor team tae break the rules and CHEAT the fans though when it suits. Glad I'm not naieve enough to think that manipulation isnae rife throughout our sport. Nobody can condone the fateful night at Armadale but in the same token what Wolbert served up was just as bad. Most jumped on us long and hard and rightly so but im really surprised anyone other than Edinburgh would employ someone who works his own angle to get to were he wanted to be. As far as our team go or any team for that matter most off us will always stick up for there own even when you know its wrong its called blind loyalty but it is what most off us do.

baba 562 Posted February 9, 2017 ragdoll64 i guess it comes down to personal opinion. Kevin was at it,we knew it, he knew it. No teams squeaky clean but we are talking about a individual rider here. I reckon only edinburgh would touch him with a barge pole in the championship after that, Unless it was only points money he was getting then he might try harder.

szkocjasid 3,042 Posted February 20, 2017 So are you going to give josh time to develope this time round or just chuck him like you did to Jye? Etheridge was VERY weak, can't blame Monarch's for dropping him! It's a professional sport, riders are signed to score points! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoda 81 Posted February 20, 2017 His performances for Glasgow was an absolute joke and everyone and there granny knew what was going on, for that reason alone on his average manipulation if he never got another team spot again it would be justified in my opinion. Cheating the paying fans is not the way to endear yourself to potential employers. well Glasgow did supply his engine that season, so I guess when you give a box of spanners, your not expecting loads of points ??

Gazc 7,098 Posted February 20, 2017 well Glasgow did supply his engine that season, so I guess when you give a box of spanners, your not expecting loads of points ?? And who told you that but regardless some sort of effort that season wouldnt have been to much to ask but we are well shot off just surprised he still gets a team spot with anyone other than Edinburgh.

SCB 0 Posted February 20, 2017 Shame on all those who seem to be putting down these lads who rode the Australian championships , these lads are coming 12,000 miles to entertain you so the least you can do is give the boys a chance and it would be nice if the knockers welcomed them instead of ridiculing them, give them some encouragement, the same kind of encouragement I hope all those national league 2 pointers are going to get. If you don't it begs the question why do you go to speedway meetings. This old chestnut. "Give them a chance". No, how about people prove their worth before being given a chance. Why don't Edinburgh just sign me? People can cry, "just give him a chance" then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MD 1,307 Posted February 20, 2017 well Glasgow did supply his engine that season, so I guess when you give a box of spanners, your not expecting loads of points ?? His engine from the previous season was lying in a shed in West Lothian until the week before Press and Practice such was his lack of preparation for 2014. There were numerous promises from the rider himself about a new engine arriving that went on for several weeks. It never did arrive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New era Panthers 2,055 Posted February 20, 2017 Why they going on about what was, rather than, what is I honestly don't know , it was ages ago when I wrote that quote , it seems like history now and long gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazc 7,098 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Wrong At a guess they are just looking for a bite and deep down knows he is s*ite. I also see he describes himself as a racer someone must have told him that and he believes it. Edited February 21, 2017 by Gazc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
