Albert 304 Posted June 26, 2017 Not for first time against Berwick at Scunthorpe A certain referee mucks it up. Same happened last year. Just general inconsistency. Bandits must have rued Bridger and Etheridge absence today. A win for sure gone astray What exactly did the ref muck up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excluded Hummell for nowt mate Not so sure... the two Berwick lads collide and fall causing the race to be stopped.. one of them had to get excluded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobMcCaffery 2,752 Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) All I do is mouth off on twitter apparently. But no it wasn't anything to do with Carl, as said we've been mates for years, others well.... Did we get a clue on Sunday why you quit Scunthorpe? ;-) Thanks for coming on here and talking openly to the supporters. It was good to see you are still so competitive after your break.

eric i 620 Posted June 27, 2017 It was Gappmaier who should have been excluded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted June 27, 2017 From what I remember seeing on the track, Howe & Auty did not get on, in that the way they rode together, at times, was if they were the opposition riders. I even heard a while ago that certain riders would not come out in heat 15 if they were paired together. I like to see racing but if it is going to be hard to catch an opponent then I don't like to see our own riders chopping each other up,, changing lines as it is an accident waiting to happen & gifting points away. Surely a talk in the pits how riders are going to ride & after the 1st two bends if it didn't go to plan than adapt. Regarding Josh Bailey, I thought, this year, that certain riders,& Josh was one, should not have been riding in 3 leagues, never mind some others in 2. Josh always seemed apprehensive about mixing it in the first bend but then was, generally, up to speed with the others & I feel this problem might still be there. I hope not, though. We have suffered in our choice of replacements where others have not, but I think there is now some decent riders that have come on & deserve a spot, if available. Kyle Bickley, Tom Brennan, Georgie Wood, Jake Knight even Mark Baseby & the recently signed up Taylor Hampshire who started out with Josh at Kings Lynn. As I said, without delving deeper, I am unsure of ages & availability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucifer sam 3,953 Posted June 27, 2017 just for starters David Howe exclusion She was same last year we were there. Excluded Hummell for nowt mate But surely if the ref excluded Gappmaier (won who the race) rather than David, the most Bandits could have got from the race was still a 3-3?

It was good to see you are still so competitive after your break. I'll leave you to come to your own conclusions on that one.
