I never watch "as live" for the specific reason that I can just fast forward their bit and all the other chat pish, or should that be pish chat and just enjoy the racing. It's the fact that they look to the side when the other one is talking. It's really really weird. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joseq7 363 Posted June 26, 2020 I see Waldorf and Statler are still persisting with looking to the side of an empty room in a different house. Can someone please tell them to stop it Rodney you plonker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edmon 166 Posted July 3, 2020 MONARCHS V NEWCASTLE Join us this Friday, 3rd July, from 7:30pm for our Premier Trophy clash with Newcastle from April 2006. In 2006 we were still in the process of rebuilding after our first title win three years earlier. In the Premier Trophy we pulled off an away win at Newcastle but we expected a tight contest when the Diamonds came to Armadale for the return on 28th April. Grieves, Stancl and Franc were formidable visiting heat leaders but this match proved notable for a brilliant display by Theo Pijper and some exciting riding from William Lawson.

Fair play for showing a defeat, albeit to an excellent Hull side who would go on to win the Premier league in '04. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinmauger 584 Posted July 8, 2020 Made the effort and finally got round to watching one of these 'online' re-runs'. Edinburgh v Hull 2004 then, ex-Monarchs securing a win with last heat 5-1, Booey & the Hull camp were having kittens but Magnus & Ross were confident of getting the result. Bit of Hull 2004 info; I'm pretty sure the team was put together as being solid due rider availability. Originally I understand Peter Carr was to ride for Hull, the rider and both clubs were happy about this then Edinburgh decided to release the Wolves' loan rider Karlsson instead, though Carr may also have been on loan from Belle Vue to the Monarchs. The final piece in the puzzle for Hull was when Danny Norton was injured and Joel Parsons signed. This changed team building ideas as while would clubs like to have an all-out no.1 to win heat 1 and score maximums every week, Hull were solid 1 - 7. As a rider's average dropped a bit, he went to no.6 or 7 and another rider made it to the main body of the team, so if a rider had an off night there was always more than suffficient cover. We always seemed to have 4 or 5 heat leaders, so even when we lost Ross Brady then Emil Kramer to injury late in the season, we were still strong enough to continue the all-out assault on the treble. Many in Hull still recall our 'season in the sun' that was 2004.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
