No wonder the sport is on its arse with posts like that

I do however think there should be a test for some fans before they can access social media

It wasn't a terrible advert for the sport at all. It actually made it look interesting on TV for a change. I watched as a neutral, and found myself rooting for Oxford as the two meetings went on (Lord knows why!), but the way people are moaning about Poole actually having a bit of character and spirit is ridiculous. Do speedway fans really just want deckchairs, flasks and programme boards?

Having watched Vinnie Foord crash six times in his last three meetings (and take out two air fences), is he too dangerous? Should there be some sort of speedway exam (like a driving test) riders should take before being allowed to race against other riders? He’s going to cause someone serious harm.

No

The entire Poole team is a disgrace. Lawson spitting the dummy when clearly took out Masters. Tobias Thomsen dropping the C bomb on TV and then gesturing to the crowd at the trophy. Vinnie Foord fencing Luke Killeen, then Jody Scott and antagonising the crowd. A terrible advert for the sport and I bet the SCB do nothing.......fines and bans should be dished out to Thomsen and Foord.

Reading the Forum it appears that every opponent that won a race at Ashfield is signing for next season😂👍

what an awfull thread this is

He did they have a place they could move into tomorrow except they need to wait until a motorway junction nearby is altered before they can get on with planning permission from council.Its a 21 acre site which will be used for multiple sports with Adams and CVS running the speedway and Tai in charge of the rest.

Vinnie will told to use his whole hand when waving to the crowd as it is upsetting the “snowflakes”

You got 1 bit right😂👍

who too Vinnie Foord 🤣

Tried to explain this last night, watch it frame by frame, Scott is the one who turns into foord, once they got tangled up the crash was inevitable but too many people are either caught up in the emotion or just bias to see what actually happened

Tarasenko was supposed to sign for Birmingham. Glasgow remember sign wojydolo and signed tarasenko after that was blocked. Reality is he offered his services to all championship clubs isn't it, but why let that get in the way of an excuse that's taken a year to come up with 🤣

From a Poole perspective obviously really enjoyable meeting. Drama, crashes and hard racing. On the relevant incidents. Lawson took Masters wheel so correct decision, Vinnie footrest got caught in Killeen's front wheel so he had got ahead but he did seem to move over so probably alot would have given it the other way. I thought Nicholls was rolling but maybe just a great start so a bit unlucky. Boughen slowed going in to first bend leaving Zach nowhere to go. Vinnie took out Jody Scott which looked reckless and doesnt look any better on replay! As Brennan said if he had rode better Saturday we wouldnt have had this steep hill to climb but he rectified that last night. Killeen's second crash was on his own and walked away so not sure why withdrawn maybe effects of earlier crash.

Poland are not doing "anyone over"... The UK had Thursday as their priority night... And they gave it up so Poland could use it... No point complaining now...

And people say Foord is dangerous.

The worse racetrack in the league,gate and go ,also having the right gates also helps

And (most of) the crowd who were actually there loved it all!😝

All we need to know is……….if there are any incidents…….NONE of them will be a Poole rider’s fault…..lol

I saw him twice at Workington this season and never thought he was dirty,Might be because it was a final last night and more on the line.

Would that incident (not accident) have happened last night had there not been an air fence? By the accounts of others Foord has been riding on borrowed air time because of those air fences he has destroyed in the past? I don't know... no doubt crashing into a solid fence head on would focus the mind somewhat in the future!

I’m afraid it is true. Poole were offered Tarasenko before he signed for Glasgow. Matt didn’t want to sack Kyle Newman in order to bring him in.

Doesn't make it true 🤣

Let’s face it, the biggest problem all round these days is caused by riders riding for more than one team.

I don't think he has an awful attitude. It looked to me like the Oxford fans were giving him stick, and he was giving it back with a smile on his face. I like him, and I think he has a lot of potential. I do agree that he is a bit of a bull in a china shop at the moment, however, and needs to calm down a bit.

I’ve also seen some good racing at Ipswich too this year believe it or not. The majority of tracks are much of a muchness, mostly processional with a few highlights thrown in here and there. The NSS is the only track in my experience that provides good racing more often than not.

Any Oxford fan or neutral who felt Oxford were unlucky with refereeing decisions, should also admit they should've had a bigger lead after the non inclusion of Killeen in heat 12 of the first leg. Would a 14 or 16 point lead have changed the tone of the match, we'll never know. But if the refs getting the blame, Schroeck should too.

The fact you’ve stated these two things, suggests you probably should go back and watch it!

Don't need to watch it. Killen was not taken out by Foord. Scott Nicholls was rolling at the start so it was called back. Ben Cook did not take out Ashton Boughen. Your post is complete nonsense apart from the Vinnie Foord and Jody Scott incident which Vinnie was at fault. Plus your stupid comment saying the ref was a homer. It's Poole not Poodle.

watch it back on BSN pal. foord took out kileen and scott. cook took out boughton. nicholls was pulled back and warned when making a perfect start. i’m not an oxford fan but these incidents tilted the outcome in poodle’s favour

Ref bottled excluding 2 pie rats in a row. Simple as

Are you sure? When he joined the Stars in June, the announcements only mentioned he was doing so "for the remainder of the season". Whilst it would be good to see him back in the UK, it's looking unlikely.

Let's all hope that those noisy Oxford fans keep quiet and "Dangerous" Vinnie Foord doesn't try too hard or interact with anyone. That way there will be no atmosphere so it will be a good advert for the sport.

certainly wasn't the racing or passing being talked about, that is for sure....take out the crashes and it was dire in terms of entertainment.

At least we'll have 2H and 2A then!

Just watched the Vinnie Foord/Jody Scott crash. What on earth was Vinnie Foord meant to do when Scott turned left on him and Foord was already there? They just got hooked together. Not dangerous riding just a coming together.

I have seen nothing to say the Polish league’s are going to start using Thursday regularly. Maybe i missed something. They do use a few Thursday’s for Polish Championships and maybe the odd re-arranged match but that’s about it.

So it’s ok for Foord to celebrate when an ambulance was on for Killeen He is a loser and will go nowhere with his attitude …. Modern day Bridger

Surely all tracks are gate n go given none are “gate n stop”. And despite popular opinion, at all tracks, the rider who leads the heat after the first lap actually does go on to win the race.

I think that was the ref's logic on the Foord/Killeen incident - that Foord was ahead. I never understand that logic though. Just because you are ahead doesn't mean you can't be at fault. Particularly if you are not clear in front but just technically ahead.

He needs to mature, his winding up of Oxford fans was not needed and as the old adage says to finish first, first you have to finish!

I know Oxford like to promote their youngsters & that is admirable, but there is a time & a place for doing that. Imo it's not when you are chasing a Premiership play-offs place (dropping Kemp) not in a grand final (not using Starke?) Maybe they tried a guest & couldn't get one, but I agree Starke could've made a big difference.

Right now he is raw and fully full of teen spirit!....however he is either going to hurt himself or someone else, last night he made the same mistake three times in the very same place, lifting coming out of bend two. He'll either learn very quickly or someone will teach him the hard way, lets be honest he nailed two riders last night but do that to some seasoned pro's who have a memory like a elephant and he'll be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I like his enthusiasm and careless attitude, just fine tune it a little.

Nothing to do with rose tints, we have had enough riders in wheelchairs, we dont want anymore.

Just got back from an alternate universe, where the Oxford Rebels held a 14 point lead going into the meeting after good use of Luke Killeen in the first leg. Oxford got off to a good start, having a 2 point lead following Foord's exclusion for "foul, dirty, absolutely outrageously disgustingly horrible riding" in heat 2. The Rebels kept the pressure on, and remained level on the night following Nicholl's perfect tapes-to-flag victory in heat 6. The Pirates started to edge away in the second half of the meeting, and were just 4 behind on aggregate going into the final heat. Sam Masters looked to be having bike problems, but a ray of light came down from Heaven and his bike seemed to be fixed miraculously by an act of God. Masters then clinched the required second place to give the Rebels a 2 point victory and win the League title. Congratulations to Oxford Rebels on their best campaign since finishing bottom of the league in 1974. Poole Pirates ha ha ha! Glug! Glug! Glug! Much better meeting than the Swindon v Coventry Eurosport bore-fest in the Elite League play-offs.

They think it's all over...........IT IS NOW! 🏆☠️

poole were pretty filthy. won dirty maybe the best way to describe the comeback.

Bang on. Comparing Foord to Pedersen is laughable.

So sad that Eastbourne speedway are not welcome at Arlington. Must be some deep divisions in the Dugard family.
