I think your misinterpreting what Cami has said......Nobody, not even the Edinburgh promoters would have predicted Victor would be scoring 19/20 points a meeting and beating heat leaders. It was a shrewd signing and all credit to them. But surely you can see that a reserve rarely scores double figures and beats the opposing heat leaders.  The Tarasenko comparison isn't quite the same though, still a shrewd signing which obvs helped us win the league but he wasn't at reserve...... What i'd like to know is why didn't Glasgow sign Victor ? Just imagine if they had done so instead of signing Brougen....

I'd like us all to just try and remember what age he is and not be too hard on him. If you've played sport at any level you'll know that what's going on in your head can massively effect your performance.  Usually talented teens just rise through the ranks maybe with a few bumps but i can't remember seeing someone with so much promise suddenly fall off like Ashton has.   I genuinely wish him all the best and hope he gets back to his best. 

A couple of thoughts from Cami Brown's match report on Tigers FB page “I knew it would be tough tonight. Victor Palovaara at reserve is ridiculous, let’s be honest. He’s not a reserve, he’s miles better than that." Firstly why is Palovaara at reserve rediculous? Edinburgh were clever enough to build a team where he started at reserve. Remember when Glasgow signed Tarasenko on a 5.00 Champ ave, despite him also being on a 5.00 Prem ave which was about to go up to 6.45 (meaning a converted 9.5+ Champ ave) did Cami say that was ridiculous at the time? Glasgow just used the rules, which were available to all the clubs, just like Edinburgh have done this year. Secondly, no mention of Boughen not competing 3 rides. If he was ill, you'd think Glasgow would announce they are putting in a complaint that he wasn't signed off, not allowing a reserve to come in. If he just didn't fancy it, should Glasgow not say they are dissapointed with what happened & are dealing with it behind closed doors? Do Glasgow not owe it to their fans who paid to watch / for the stream for some honesty about the situation?

A complete enigma. I’ve saw him almost lap Harris at Ashfield, then less then twelve months later, look terrified amongst under-21s on the same circuit. I’ve saw him win the opening heats at Armadale and Scunthorpe, but look like it’s the first time he’s ever sat on a speedway bike a few days later. Who knows what’s going on? It’s a complete guessing game, but I hope the club clarifies ASAP. Cami Brown insists on commenting on every rider in every single post-meeting interview, but last night, I saw no mention of Boughen.

Maybe you could help him.You seem to know your stuff😝

There is no question he has the ability to be a very good rider, he is as quick as anyone on his own but when he is with other riders he backs off. It is such a shame as he is one of the best riders of his age we have.
