Mr Blobby

This week sees the Bandits making an appearance at the Dale hoping to come away with something as the monarchs have been poor at home of late. Adam Ellis guests for Barrett not sure why though maybe someone can confirm the reason for this. With Ellis guesting it makes the Bandits much stronger as he has banged in 18 points in his 2 previous appearance compared to Barrett who scored 3 earlier in the season.

Hampel v Jepsen Jepsen for the world cup Money has got to be on Hampel for this one. Or is MJJ going to show his class that you know who keeps going on about.

Donkey

Ref must of hit the town before the meeting! :drink:

thank god i was working last night and didn't have to witness what sounded like a poor meeting and a poor performance by the boys in blue & gold. By the sounds of it we were out gated in basically every race again by the diamonds which was crucial the last time as well. Well done to the Diamonds though on their victory (that took a lot of guts to type that) but hopefully we can repay the favour next week.

Good comeback by the monarchs to get the draw again today! Cookie once again showing why he is the best rider in the league! Mr Vissing is now beginning to pull of vital 5-1's when needed in later heats!

Ca't believe people think what Cook said is true!!!!!!! The reporter (David Kinvig) is <unacceptable language removed> when he rights his reports about Edinburgh matches about 25% of the article is actual fact the rest of it he just makes up. So i wouldn't read to much into what cookie has apparently said as most of it probably isn't true like the rest of the pish that he wrights up. Cookie has also said on twitter himself that he didn't even say half the rubbish that has been written. But it is good to see that he hasn't been knocked by this setback and he now wants it even more.

thanks for the clarifying that Bandits4eva

points lost rather than gained IMO. 3 tapes EX for cookie tonight not like him. Anyone at the meeting no what happened at the tapes in heat 15???? I take it Mellgren and Vissing both touched them at the same time??

you know the point i was trying to make. For example he rides your place pretty well.

Please remind me who he rode for before joining Edinburgh???

Ouch!

Gutted missing another derby but i'm feeling that confident that we will win i'm going to come out of retirement for one time only to predict the monarchs to win this one by 25. Whoever Glasgow may be signing he will not be at Edinburgh which has been announced on the monarchs website.

I'm a Edinburgh fan and I would rather have Cook 1.) better rider home and away 2.) (and this is the most important one) he actually turns up!!!! Cook also has a higher EL and PL average than THJ Also regarding your comment about not generating speed, he broke to track records at the weekend one at Edinburgh on Friday by 0.2 seconds and then at Glasgow on Sunday by a whole second if that is not having speed not to sure what is. Another comment you made was he he can't pass top rider read below. Heat 09: Cook, Batchelor, Nieminen, Birks. (4-2)...25-29...59.8 Line Up: Cook, Nieminen, Batchelor, Birks Comments: Batchelor leading until Cookie wound on the gas and sailed by.

League cup semi final this time at the dale against the high flying witches. Monarchs will need to be on top form this week if they want any chance of taking a decent lead down there for the second leg. James sargeant will guest again for mitchell while for the witches heeps will move up to the main body of the team with Hawkins dropping down to reserve. Unfortunately going to be missing the next 3 meetings as going on holiday to get some sun for 2 weeks then having to work the following so i hope you all don't miss me to much. Teams for Friday: Edinburgh Monarchs Craig Cook Derek Sneddon Theo Pijper Joe Tabaka Claus Vissing James Sarjeant Max Fricke Ipswich Witches Ben Barker Cameron Heeps Rohan Tungate Morton Risager Leigh Lanham Adam Elllis Ritchie Hawkins

Kennett proving his pick tonight with a fantastic performance....... :rofl:

Tai, Bomber and cookie were always going to be in the team IMO. The last place for me would have been between Worrall, Kennett, King and Barker and whoever was in the best form leading up to the event would get the place and on current form I would of said Barker but Middlo seems to think otherwise. Either way i'm going to back the team and hopefully they can all put on a performance and do GB proud.

After Sunday when Max gets his average he goes back into the main body of the team and Tabaka goes back to reserve.

Do you not mean 23 -25!???

Okay i give in Branford should of been excluded!

Must of been

It was because max and Derek where right on the wheel of Branford going into turn 3 and Branford pulled a bit of a locker causing max to straighten up to avoid him and graversen then fell trying to avoid max.

Good tight match even though the racing wasn't that great tonight. Good fight back by the boys in blue & gold to earn all the points after a poor start. Max didn't have the best of nights along with Theo but the rest done enough to make the comeback. Claus has really got he knack of the place the last few weeks and is now looking fast and smooth which is good to see. For the visitors Kauko started off well and faded, Dollan being the pick of the bunch for the lions as he always rides our place well. Branford and Ellis were impressive to start with as they were getting out of the gate very well but then faded a little. Was good to see a decent amount of Lions fans up tonight they were making a good amount of noise even though a didn't understand what they were saying! haha

Not a chance! never in a million years

Dyer not riding now as he has changed his mind and said no so the Lions will need to look for another guest. Stop predicting as it had become a bit of a jinx over the past 3 weeks as george.m would tell you.
