SteveZodiac 61 Posted July 20, 2017 Chatted to Shanes. No ef, no going to fall, just Greaves coming under and knocking him off. Couldn't believe he was excluded. His hand does not look pretty. Made a miraculous recovery to ride on Wednesday though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 20, 2017 Made a miraculous recovery to ride on Wednesday though He hurt his hand quite badly. Not a pretty sight. Nothing miraculous at all. We would still have beaten Wolves had Shanes not been speared as he had the beating of Greaves and would have only have had three rides anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted July 20, 2017 He hurt his hand quite badly. Not a pretty sight. Nothing miraculous at all. We would still have beaten Wolves had Shanes not been speared as he had the beating of Greaves and would have only have had three rides anyway. What makes you think Shanes had the beating of Greaves? Greaves beat him twice at Poole and was in the process of overtaking him the other night when they fell. You wouldnt have beaten Wolves if Howarth and Shanes had completed the meeting. For once take off your blue tinted glasses and admit Poole were lucky in that respect. True Poole had to take advantage and they did. But the loss of Howarth and Shanes tipped the meeting into Pooles favour. So Shanes can hurt his wrist/hand and your ok with him pulling out Monday and riding Wednesday But you accuse Batchelor of making it up whne he pulls out Wednesday and rides Thursday?? Double standards yet again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 20, 2017 Considering Chris Holder said last night there was nothing wrong with Batchelor I think I am on safe ground there. Shanes on the other hand was genuinely smashed off the bike by Greaves. You have already been picked up on this from Wolves fans who were actually at the meeting. Don't know how many times you need to be told. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Wolves fans on here have said it was 50/50 and the referee went against you. Go pick your dummy up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone beats Wolves reserves lol Is that why Poole at home to Wolves were outscored 5 points to 6 points? And Shanes in the last 3 meetings v Wolves has finished in front of Wolves riders 6 times............beat 3 fallers.........Thorsell off of 15m...........an engine failure..........and one genuine race v Greaves.........who has beaten him every other times. If you want to make sweeping statement..........Shanes would have beaten Greaves......everyone beats Wolves reserves.........use some facts next time as you look kind of daft You are the unreal person. Im unreal lol....nice off you to wake up you seem to have gone missing on the Poole threads.....no idea why So was Shanes 'smashed' off the bike??? I wasnt there , you wasnt there..........must be the worlds worst referee Edited July 20, 2017 by Gavan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,050 Posted July 20, 2017 We won because we were the better team. GET OVER IT! No need to shout. You were the better team have i said anywhere that you werent? Need to read posts carefully. If you dont think the Howarth/Shanes injuries swung it your way then your deluded. Howarths rides yielded 2 points. Starke for Shanes got Poole 4 points. That swing helped you win the meeting surely even you can see that no? Poole can only beat what is in front of them and both at Wolves and Lynn Poole were professional and did their jobs. I stand by my opinion that Wolves would have won if the 1-7's that started the meeting finished it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its happened nothing is going to change just forget about it lol. Just like last night when we got our backsides handed to us by Swindon. Its happened and that's that. Nothing is going to change the result so we have to move on to the next one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,823 Posted July 20, 2017 He hurt his hand quite badly. Not a pretty sight. Nothing miraculous at all. We would still have beaten Wolves had Shanes not been speared as he had the beating of Greaves and would have only have had three rides anyway. Perhaps if he learns to stay upright and stop trying to lean on riders because he is a out of shape he wouldn't have got the exclusion that was called right. Granted it might have gone the other way (often does in incidents like that). Obviously the ref from a much better higher viewing position could see exactly how out of shape Shanes was. I clocked it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 20, 2017 He wasn't out of shape. It's his actual riding style. That's how he enters corners in speedway. Granted its not usual but its the way he rides a bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,823 Posted July 20, 2017 His riding style is out of shape then or more exposed on a thinkers track. I've seen plenty of him the past 3 seasons at Birmingham and he has always impressed me with his attacking style. However at the smaller tracks he looks more out of control.
