No. Every digital photograph has a fingerprint called EXIF data this shows the camera serial number that took the photo the time and all the settings using this data it is very easy to prove that multiple cameras are being used at the same time. -

Sorry Bob You did not point me in the direction of the post naming me could you please as I am sure my legal advisors would like to see it The hash tag is not directed to Taylor in any way it stood for All My Own Work my work not his so I am not sure how it "puts the laddie down" As for work context of a formal introduction having done it for many years I do see it as a vocation so if I want to treat it as a job I can as I think I am good at it and I am sure some folk are making money out of it but again I was brought up not to discuss anyone wages unless it is in a union negotiation Again I was not involved in any bullying so I am not sure what I can be blamed for. By the way better look for another form of entertainment for your grand kids as tonights Glasgow meeting has been called off. Ian -

Thanks Bob for coming out from behind the shadows Could you please point me in the direction of the post where my name was mentioned as it would be could you keep a copy of this should it be required. As for the public apology would you do this for something you have not done as I pointed out in my first post I have never bullied Taylor Lanning if my name has been mentioned by Phil then it is him who should be issuing the public apology. As for the formal introduction thing I was brought up to do this by parents so it is how I conduct my working life As for the bit of me helping Taylor out and to what level this was done I really don't think you are able to comment as you were not there.

Hi GreenLightGo I will answer your questions as best I can but since you know who I am it would be nice to know your actual name or do you have something to hide? I don't believe that Phil has mentioned my name just "2 Glasgow Photographers" so it may not actually be me who is being accused of bullying I have tried calling Phil but he refused to answer my calls The hash tag AMOW was a stupid idea on my part because one of the problems that surface in the WhatsApp group was the fact that over the past few seasons it appears that Phil has been taking photos at meetings and posting them under Taylors name which seems a strange thing to do there is strong evidence to prove this such as crash photos from two different angles and funnily a photo by Taylor with Taylor in the background. But again AMOW was a silly mistake on my part and others. I always think it is courteous to say hello to a track photographer when attending his/her track but maybe that is just old school, if you were visiting a difference workplace in line of your work would you not introduce yourself Again see the answer above Maybe the photographers should have spoken to the BSPA about this problem that may be a fault on all parties here As i said in my first post I am more than happy to sit down with you and answer your questions -

As i said before GreenLightGo you seem to know lots about this matter so here are a couple of questions for you, I will go on and answer your questions on your previous post. You say that "it isn't just comments Its beyond that" can you please explain what You also say "its under investigation by the BSPA" can you explain this as when I asked them last week about this that said they did not know anything about this alleged investigation -

Think it is about time I posted on this thread as some of it seems to be about me. My name is Ian Adam and I have been a photographer at Glasgow Speedway since 1991 of there abouts. I first met Taylor Lanning in 2015 as I knew his dad Phil Lanning from many years back at Shawfield Speedway. His dad asked me as he was interested in photography if he could take some photos on the centre green technically I should have said no as he was only 13/14 at the time but as Phil was a friend I said yes. Phil also asked me for some help in picking cameras and I have pointed him in the right direction in picking up good deals in lenses. Along these years I have been more that happy to pass onto Taylor tips on how to capture the action and I think now seeing where he is and the quality he is producing my help and training has paid off. Now it appears that according to Phil I have been involved in bullying his son for over two years an allegation that I strongly deny I have never bullied Taylor Lanning if I have where is the evidence. During this alleged two years bullying Phil and Taylor have shared a table with my family at the Tigers End of Season dance, 4 years running and no mention of bulling was raised at the table I also shared a car with Phil and Taylor to the SON meeting at Belle Vue in 2018 stopping off at Bolton for some lunch again no mention of bullying at any time during the trip. Phil also arranged for me to obtain a photographer pass for the Dubai Airshow in November 2017 and again no mention of bullying also in December 2018 I attended a Christmas Speedway function with Phil and again no mention of bullying at any time during the day. I was a member of a UK wide Speedway Photographers WhatsApp group which this season raised concerns about the number of tracks that Phil and Taylor were turning up at and taking photographs at without any prior introduction to the track photographers based there which should be a done as a form of courtesy which now appears to have been an oversight which Nigel Pearson has apologies to all the photographers for, and it may have turned into a bit of a moan fest but I do not see this as a from of bullying as it was not directed at any individuals and it was raised on a private chat group. The poster GreenLightGo seems to know a lot about this situation so I am more that happy to share with them my home phone number and we can have a chat and I will be happy to explain the facts to them and answer their questions I also notice they are a regular at Ashfield again I would be happy to meet them after a meeting at Ashfield and discuss. I believe the management at Glasgow are going to have a full investigation into these serious allegations, as they should and I commend them caring out this investigation, I have informed them I am more that happy to fully cooperate with this investigation. I will say again I have never bulled Taylor Lanning. -
Do we know if Wolves are sending their full PL team for this meeting

I am sure Victor will be snapped up before June

Sad that a club director has to go to this length to dispel all the crap posted about Glashow Tigers. Time to move on nothing more to be seen here

Loan fees are not due until the season starts so any loan riders that Workington had signed for 2019 will just revert back to the clubs that own them and will now be available for loan again for the 2019 season.

The chance of the land at Ashfield ever being built is very slim due to the fact the land is believe to be contaminated, it was an old railway works and lots of stuff was dumped there hence the name Ashfield and not fit for housing also there is a fault underneath. Just ask the owners of the houses behind the 3rd and 4th bends. The initial planning permission was rejected by the council and the developers only got it through on appeal but the home owners have had many problems with two of the houses having to be almost rebuilt due to subsidence.

Ha ha maybe you should ask Kyle about last winter

Very balanced looking side for the Monarchs must put them up there as favourites for the 2019 season
-
I love that the fans of a club come on hear and accuse Glasgow of stealing riders away from a club by offering more money when what I heard today was that their own club has just done the same to secure the services of a rider for the 2019 season.

Not quite true as Stewart and Alan Dick bought the Tigers from Brian Sands in 2001
