Rob B 1,257 Posted September 16, 2017 So Swindon book THJ for the 2nd leg on 22nd - Good luck with that!!! I assume its for BWD who must know that despite 'ongoing assessment' he won't be fit by next Friday!? Peterborough are riding, presume they have priority?

SCB 0 Posted September 16, 2017 The Newman Google's thing was, to be honest, a lot of fuss over nothing. There are many instances I remember seeing riders removing goggles or face masks because they couldn't see. People were even praising riders for riding in a match at King's Lynn this year where it was raining and riders were removing goggles. Newman was actually riding at a disadvantage when he did that. The Swindon situation is a bit different as it was clearly against rules. Just hard to believe that two managers plus a referee failed to notice. Except it wasn't a fuss over nothing. The rules at the time were broken. Had Mark Lemon appealed before the running of heat 13 that night then Newmans points would have been removed. Funny isn't it how it was heat 12 again and it was Mark Lemon missing it again. How much more is he going to cost BV with his poor knowledge of the rules?!

colin wood 249 Posted September 17, 2017 Mark Lemon missed it,the referee missed it and so did Roscoe.If Roscoe knew he was surely cheating.If he didn't that's two managers and a referee who don't know the rules. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not i have no idea how he fills in his programme! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve0 5,517 Posted September 17, 2017 We are just worried that you are going to get hated like we are. It's done with love How can Swindon be hated? At the start of the year a lot of people laughed at the make-up of the team and look where they finished. If anything they should be applauded how they proved everyone wrong rather than try and find fault. People hate Poole because they have a history of "bending/breaking" the rules 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 17, 2017 When was the last time Poole allegedly broke any rules? Years ago with Proctor at Peterborough, which Matt Ford quickly put his hands up to not realising the 5% was only for home fixtures. A genuine mistake sorted next day. Most of the "Poole cheating" is not cheating at all. Swindon now seem the team who are breaking rules and not even owning up to them and trying to get away with it. A simple statement admitting a mistake had been made and requesting the scores be changed would be enough. Instead we get silence from the management with their fans backing the mistake by saying its too late to change the score. Pretty disgraceful to be honest.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 17, 2017 *cough* Gogglegate *cough* Gogglegate? How was that Poole breaking the rules? Newmans goggles came apart at the starting gate and rather risk a two minute exclusion decided to ride without them. Not even as serious as a tapes exclusion but opposition fans were trying to jump on anything in desperation. Next you will be saying Poole are cheats because Andersen sometimes gets away with a roller. Truth is Poole haven't allegedly "cheated" for years. Now Swindon on the other hand................. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
