I have no issues with Rebs winning this. If I was a nasty monarchs supporter I might even be pleased! But I'm not like that! I just don't like the system whereby a team weakened by injury becomes probably stronger in some away matches.

They would be saying lousy choice of guest / lousy guest! But as GB said Bates is a top 5 rider / BWD is a reserve. And guests are so often chosen for their prowess at a specific track.

Yes I remember that!! Stupid little boy!!

Don't think so Gazc. You're being very diplomatic. Astute choice of guest taking full advantage of the rules won. Don't blame the Rebs at all - it's the rules that are at fault.

Totally agree. The guest system is a farce especially in away matches. Teams should never be stronger with a guest than they would with their own rider. If you have an injury in the team that's bad luck but shouldn't make you stronger.

That's a great claim to fame. I have to go there every year when I'm up to have a look at all the bridges.

What were the fisticuffs all about?

Neapolitan - or is it Tutti Frutti?!!

That's the Oirish in you!! More fisticuffs in Glesga toon. Good stuff if only the mechanics were kept out of it. Or else let them all do it on the centre green so everyone can see.

Not if he keeps falling off.

Round and round the garden like a teddy bear. One step, two step, Tickle you under there Plenty of time for someone to give Tungate a shake though. A PL number 1???????????????

Young Master Bates is doing a decent impersonation of Dan the Wee Man!!!

Pleased for you. Assume it's baltic too?

As an Edinburgh supporter I'm obviously best placed to comment on the luminous efficacy of the lighting at foxholes. So whilst is is usually better than Armadiddle was on Friday, it in no way matches the dazzlingness of a sunny summer afternoon in poshfield when it can be even to bright to race.

He won't be at Ippo soon then!!

A good recovery then.

I was a train spotter when I was young. Now I'm a miserable old sod. So train spotting obviously makes you happy and/or keeps you young.

Maybe most of the better options are also in the ELRC?

I've seen floodlights fail during the meeting at Peterborough and possibly at ippo. Far safer failing before racing starts. But sums up our season after the unprecedented number of rain-offs.

Dear oh dear oh dear.

Told you Jacobs had been watching Sarjeant too closely!

Me too. 😯😯😧

Cheers Pob!! I thought so too.

Cheers Steve!! Glad you took the time to read it!!

You have to be in it to win it.
