JanAndersen 822 Posted October 22, 2021 Some consolation for last night is that even if we’d kept it reasonably tight it wouldn’t have been good enough. Glasgow far too good for us over the two legs and clearly had their baws kicked for the cup debacle. We’re going to need 15+ lead to take to Poole to have a chance in the cup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why did he bother to mention it then( does he know it took place).Iwas just saying I wasn’t so sure ( could be wrong though).Monarchs certainly put up much of show tonight.Perhaps saving it for tomorrow.

JanAndersen 822 Posted October 22, 2021 Just now, Fromafar said: Why did he bother to mention it then( does he know it took place).Iwas just saying I wasn’t so sure ( could be wrong though) Eh? He mentioned it I suspect because if it happened it was a smart move on the part of the Tigers and it paid off as they looked up to speed from the get go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted October 22, 2021 Sorry but Mike Hunter has let himself down again with the post match press release. Personal opinions should not be included in these unless quotes from the team/ promotion 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a commercial operation, does make you wonder if people read that and perhaps question how professional the approach is to the media at that particular speedway outlet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was it the part where he said that Ricky Wells deserved primary credit? If so, I agree...Never rated Wells and yet it seems like Mike has a bit of love for him there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe someone should feed him a dodgy burger and then see if there’s a lax rule that allows a guest reporter for today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted October 23, 2021 Thought we would’ve won by more on the night not that it would’ve mattered anyway. Weird bunch those tigers fans, same ones who were crying about certain things being said after the result last week chanting and doing the same thing this week. Not that I have an issue with it btw. Can’t take it then don’t give it out is what I’d say to those. Anyone mon the pirates, just for the play offs of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's hope there is no swearing at Poole fans from the Glasgow camp, like has been put up on twitter from one of the Edinburgh meetings apparently. Edit- there is a video clip from the victory parade. Edited October 23, 2021 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to speak to you last night at the end. Yes I think Tigers would still have gone through whether Heeps in team or not. Would like him back at the Dale next season on a 4.95 average but could be Glasgow bound. The damage was done in first leg. After meet cancelled last Saturday said Glasgow were favourites to go through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
