TheScotsman

Well said. Scott & Graham put on a fantastic show every week before and after the matches. They have a superb chatty style and so get really good relaxed interviews from the riders both home and away ones. We look forward to watching them every week and hopefully the same next season. I met both of them down at Ippo over the past couple of Monarchs visits and they are great guys.

Oh well t'was not meant to be. Well done ippo. Shows what a miss mark was last night.

Reverse psychology? You guys are just beginners at it - we've been doing it for years!!

Mark Riss was a big miss for our guys. The r/r only yielded 2+1 from 4 and that was from the monsoon running of heat 7 when Rooboy didn't fancy it. But big bro Mark is back tinight!! So Game On!!

I assumed it was indeed because of the weather threat and therefore they wanted the stronger riders used before heat 10.

Weegies TM is a tactical genius.

Gawd help anyone that flies Ryanair!! They're on easyjet fortunately.

Scotchopper's flight from Edinburgh keeps on being delayed - still not taken off yet (was due in at Stansted at 3.45). Can you get them to delay the first race by more than the usual 15 minutes in case we're not there yet?

Nah it's going to pee down. And it'll be a freezing cold wind.

I would do a raindance but we have a number of folk coming down for the match so I can't do that to them.

Or that King won on a TR in the last Armadale match. Showing your sportsmanship colours there baldyman.

Damn damn damn - certainly does weaken us unless our reserves have the magic powder in their tanks.

And one to balance it out................ http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/news-centre/article/2017-09-20/and-now-for-the-main-event Hope Mark & Sam (and their bikes) are ok after their tumbles last night.

There'll be a few of us there too to negate your home advantage. Hope the weather forecast is going to prove wrong.

Bl**dy fair weather trophy hunter.

Well you walloped us in the playoffs last year.....

That's one to avoid then. Surprised they are all still around. Daughter even went to see BoyZone a couple of weeks ago..

Take what?????

No way. Is this the start of sensible thinking in the sport?

Oh dear!! Won't be able to hear it though I assume.

We like to keep our public informed.

Jeez I'll have to make a decision on whether to drop my anti-Louis/Hawkins embargo and trundle along to Fox Holes on Thursday. Decisions decisions.

What's the rush?

So much illness in the sport this season. Stress? Overworked? Underpaid so under nourished? Depressed? Bored? Got the hump? Tactical-illness syndrome?

Well done to the genuine tiggers - gave us a right royal humping.
