  1. You get the feeling Embra's reserves could cost them over two legs against Somerset.
  2. Unless you are fortunate enough to watch your speedway at Scunny, Somerset Plymouth or Peterborough I think races from the gate are the norm nowadays with the odd decent heat thrown in.
  3. Agreed. The two dullest riders in the series finishing first and second last night says it all.
  4. The Rugby League table toppers trophy doesn't put their Sky deal in jeopardy.
  5. Kumla has looked bloody good on Eurosport this year.
  6. Fantastic for Lynn in 2006 & 2007, will go down as a bit of a legend in these parts for his efforts in those seasons. Happy retirement Daniel
  7. As long as the Play Offs determine the champions and the league topping trophy is recognition of exactly that.
  8. Not sure about the nasty bile but it does make him look unprofessional. Don't have a problem with some banter with opposing fans necessarily but being disparaging about another track really isn't on. Berwick may not be the best racetrack in the world but it enables the club to function which provides him with several extra meetings each season to earn money.
  9. I see Cook is being a wally on Twitter again about Berwick, he would do well to remember that his home track is one which plenty of riders dislike but don't see fit to slag off on social media every time they visit. Seems he has as much room for improvement off track as on it if he wants to get anywhere near the top of the sport.
  10. Was going to say something similar re Magic, we had commitment issues with him in 2012 when he was competing in the U21s and twelve GP's along with Poland, Sweden and the UK leagues next year will be a big work load. Would benefit from any squad system being implemented.
  11. Darcy should be made to qualify, might make him appreciate his spot a bit more. I hope Magic's qualification means no wc for Hampel, one of the dullest riders on the circuit IMO.
  12. Well done to Bomber, Doyle & Magic. Kildemand utterly brainless.
  13. We were talking about this at Lynn the other night, wondering if it was a technique issue or set up, or both. I don't think our track really helps him to be honest, the starts are the grippiest around and not the easiest to make a good getaway from, he seems to gate better away from home much of the time. If he can get it sorted soon the sky is the limit for him.
  14. Comparing their ability on the bike isn't pathetic at all, and that's from somebody who watched both week in week out at 16. But their gating is worlds apart and Robert's scores won't hit the heights until he gets that sorted. We probably won't be able to compare them properly until the end of 2016, if Lambert is averaging 9+ in the EL at eighteen then he will be round about where Darcy was at that age. Would like to see Lambert doing EL and PL next year and then hopefully Sweden and Poland the year after.
  15. The big difference is that Ward could gate at 16 whereas Lambert can't. While that's a big factor for me it's the only difference between Lambert now and Darcy in 2009.....in terms of speed, track craft, racing brain etc I'd say there is very little in it.
  16. Scunny are a Jekyll and Hyde team and rarely seem comfortable on the tighter tracks.
  17. Great stuff. Hopefully he can find a team in Sweden too and really kick his career on.
