Stene Pijper needs multiple seasons in the NDL first, he's got a long way to go, brilliant prospect, just not ready yet. I wonder if Ace Pijper could be heading to Glasgow though as their number 2?

No, I don't expect you to accept people's unsubstantiated opinions. But you seem to be getting confused. The SCB statement is not an unsubstantiated opinion. It's a statement of fact, just as the decision of the referee on the night is a statement of fact.  You can't argue against facts.

So in a discussion forum you want me to accept people's unsubstantiated opinions as fact & shut up because it doesn't suit your narrative? .... The SCB bottled it and if people interperate what I said as that a metre wide line that the SCB rules  specifically say is on the track surface, could extend across the infield then maybe it's their eyes that need opening, not mine and I have a right to reply.

People don't move on because the SCB has not properly explained its decision. So when a similar issue occurs ( and its not beyond the realms of possibility it will happen tomorrow) we will have the same argument again.

The fact is that the regulations relating to this are very poorly written and completely ambiguous  Your point about the inner edge is well made.  The part of the wheels that have to cross the inner edge ( however that is defined) is not stated. No part of the wheel is actually in contact with the inner edge - the tyre is, and that is not even mentioned. What about the part of the wheel which is closest to the main part of the bike, and which will cross the line before the part of the tyre touching the line will? In whichever definition is accepted then how much of the tyre / wheel must cross the line? 1mm or the whole tyre / wheel in touch with the line.  You can come up with any number of definitions. All the SCB needs to do is evidence its decision. Presumably referee training must cover that and should be able to be evidenced? If it can't be then that alone demonstrates an ambiguity

Why are you continuing to argue this?   Scunthorpe didn't agree with the referee's decision on the night, but have now said it's time to move on. If you don't agree with the SCB statement, maybe it's time for you to do the same.
