Complin would have bitten his hand off for 7 rides. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he has made the exact same mistake in the exact same heat the past two meetings, he only got away with it last week as the ref called an all 4 back and Ace was injured. I’m sorry but I’m not buying that one. Edited October 9, 2023 by Gazc 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJEuan 57 Posted October 9, 2023 I'm not buying it either. I just watched the stream back and the gap between Ht9 ending and Ht12 was just over 15 mins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He lost his steel shoe on the 4th bend in heat 9 , I am pretty sure they would have.resolved any issue with it by heat 12. As I say I’m not buying that excuse. Add into the fact he was still faster than Ace without a steel shoe and no disrespect to Ace he was having a poor night and shouldn’t have been anywhere near heat 12. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just give him a pritt stick for the shoe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I am guessing that the referee would have used the BSN footage if he wasn’t sure to confirm if there was contact. Based on this are you basing your view of it from the BSN footage ?. Genuine question as I haven’t seen the footage. I thought it was 50/50 a more experienced rider would have moved out slightly and rode it out Joe wasn’t out of control.Think Ace thought there was going to be a crash .Minimal contact but it’s the Refs decision and I can understand it.(only my opinion).I’ve said it before but IMO Ace has an awkward riding style he seems to be quite far back on the bike and it gets away from him if he gets into tight situations.This is just an observation not a criticism.He is talent and will no doubt get better.It’s a tough ask at times at this level.

TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 9, 2023 Not long home; a great result for Glasgow, but a big missed opportunity to finish the tie. You’d have bitten someone’s hand off for a fourteen point win before the meeting, but that Poole side were rattled and there for the taking at the mid-point, so Glasgow will be somewhat disappointed not to have stretched their lead. Harris was unreal, but Cami Brown must be hugely disappointed by Tarasenko and Basso’s collapse in the second half of the meeting. Brown’s inclusion of Pijper in heat twelve was gross mismanagement. He did it last week, but to make the same mistake repeatedly with so much at stake was criminal. Ian Steel lost his job for less. I’d like to add that these experiences will do Pijper wonders. I don’t agree with his inclusion in heat twelve, but I have huge admiration for Glasgow’s commitment to investing in youth; to afford a 16 or 17 year-old a full-time role in the team and make the grand final is a credit to the club.

Agree about his riding style but he is a talented kid I think he just needs to believe in himself more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 9, 2023 Also, I’m only a month or so back at speedway, so didn’t see Glasgow’s last encounter at Poole, but I did see the result on Speedway Updates and it made for an interesting read. Compared to that fixture, Glasgow will now have Tarasenko and Basso which significantly strengthens them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
