On another note why did the Edinburgh management only choose to show replays of certain exclusions? In ht9 it appeared that Vissing was pushed wide and taken down to the extent that an Edinburgh rider slowed down expecting the race to stopped before the red light came on. Vissing was, in many fans of both teams wrongly excluded. The replay wasn't shown. Later on Riss was rightly excluded after locking up and falling on his own and the replay shown on the big screen several times. Then in ht 15 many thought Wells was taken down but the ref invited 3 back (Worrall had already been excluded). The replay of the Wells incident was shown several times showing he was taken down. Were Edinburgh trying to influence the ref it has to be asked. Surely a rule has to be brought in saying it's either all or no replays? I'm pretty sure there was a replay of the ht9 incident but can't be totally sure. No argument that Vissing was pushed wide - Worrall had a chat with Pickering at the gate and you got the feeling that was going to be his plan. I don't think he took him down though. I don't think replays would be shown before the ref makes his decision. The call for all three back in ht15 was made pretty quickly.

From where we were on the 3rd bend it looked like Vissing was taken down and as I said Richie started slowing down before the red lights came on almost as if he knew there had been contact and he expected something. I have to say I thought the ref was slow at putting on the red lights at time tonight especially in the NJLRC and it was poor that he did not stop the race when one of the riders got his helmet peak caught on the tapes (though I don't don't know if it was the official match ref who officiated that part of the evening). Also thought medics were too slow in getting to Greg Millar after his bad fall. Edited August 24, 2018 by cinderfella Addition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly don't see Glasgow winning based on that performance. Apart from guest Ben Barker only Paul Starke could hold his head high. Lots of questions to be asked of Glasgow management and decisions taken this year on and off track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be Glad to see him back at Ashfield on that form. Harris really is taking the p#ss out of Glasgow.Imo There will be no thought of retirement like he was intimating when making excuses at the middle of the season.How a rider of his expieriance can have so much bike trouble is beyond me.! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 681 Posted August 24, 2018 Like him or loathe him Ben Barker on song is great to watch. No one could fault his efforts tonight. Always liked Bomber and thought he had turned a corner recently but struggled tonight. Sad to see. Still think he can beat anybody on hid day at Glasgow.

Neither will be back next year time for another new 1 - 7 , makes you wonder who is selecting the riders to represent us. But eveything will be fine again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pity the rest couldn't follow his example on how to put maximum effort in. Not that i have mentioned Chris Harris or Claus Vissing but i think we all know that.

Think maybe Paul is finding the flying up to home meeting a bit more expensive than expected. Think it would be safe to assume he will be back at Peterborough next year based on his guest outing for them recently. If all the talk of Glasgow changing leagues is true all I can say is the NL will be slightly better off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Vissing exclusion was shown on the bling screen several times. Ritchie moved him out didn’t touch him still had room but he straightened up a bit and went down. Anyway track was back back to normal so that was good to see. Non contest really. Ta for Ritchie Worrall. Lucky the score wasn’t more in the end.
