Still can't beat this from the archive: Tsunami (BSF) said, on 25 Jan 2014 - 2:32 PM: Ha Ha. And i'm the one supposed to be 'putting the boot into' Frost. I have a lot of respect for Rick but speedway was just not for him. I'll have been trying 2 years in January

Good job Moody didn't post that on Facebook!

Apologies, I shall do a 100 Sedgmen & Cook lines today. I must also give a special mention to Panthers supporter of the day who'd seen his team choke at The Emirates v the 'Ammers (more 'Ammers fans in Peterborough than London) but still managed to bound up the stairs in time to watch the Panthers. That's dedication for you from stiltonpanther, although not sure about keeping the Arsenal shirt on

Yup, it's in there somewhere, I'm just misunderstood. We all want the same thing (well nearly) at the end of the day but say it in different ways. After reading the forum though I think it was all covered. I was perhaps a bit harsh on the track and Dick was right in that the times do suggest that it was initially well prepared, but at the end of two baking days, and at the wrong time of day when any moisture already there or deposited would be lost all too quickly, then there was no real home track advantage. Having said that, as was also pointed out, the experience of Wolbert, Sedgeman & Cooke was just too much for Panthers depleted squad, and without Ostrich & Lambert to worry those three it was never going to be great speedway as they buggered off into the distance.

So you're saying that if Panthers had held that heat 10 5-1 to go 33-27 up and then had Lambert in 13 & 15, which Panthers lost 3-9, then that made no difference? I'm not knocking Lambert because I was thoroughly enjoying his wall of death ride in heat 10 but there was no room for error as we all saw, he'll learn; but 6 points up with 5 heats to go and Lambert in 2 of them should have been enough for the win. Apart from not playing to our strengths by producing the usual rubbish slick Sunday track, heat 10 and Lambert's subsequent withdrawal was the defining moment and did lose us the meeting. However, him getting up and walking away was the most important thing. We can win another day.

As your best mate Mr Bratley once said: I will never forget that the 2006 Grand Final, arguably the greatest modern day meeting ever, watched live by over 6000 people and by thousands more at home, was followed by a Craven Shield fixture attended by less than 700 people. If that Grand Final won’t pull people in, then what will?!?! Read more:

Would be interesting to know who's doing the picking as we've been rubbish at picking a winning side since 2006?

How are we defining that?

Scotch egg so not too messy fortunately!

all power to the bunny

Certainly something fishy about it.

Well it's egg on someone: Panthers promoter Ged Rathbone has hailed the return of teenage prodigy Robert Lambert as a ‘massive boost’ ahead of two titanic Premier League tussles. Panthers travel to Scotland tomorrow (Friday) before welcoming the reigning champions to the East of England Showground on Sunday (5pm). Rathbone said: “It was obviously very disappointing for everyone not to have Robert available for the Fours. “Unfortunately he picked up an injury the previous night, but the treatment he received from our sports therapist Lauren Wood on Sunday, along with the further guidance given to him, appears to have done the trick. We are one of the only clubs in the country to be lucky enough to have a sports therapist to work with our riders and Lauren is a real asset to us. “Robert tells us the treatment has really helped and it will be great to have him back in action against Edinburgh. P'boro today There is bound to be disappointment that we are not seeing the full Peterborough team on Friday, and particularly that Robert Lambert won’t be there (surely the news has reached Edinburgh & someone can update that?)

It is now. I've just watched Alan Partridge upsetting the farmers regarding mad cow disease. It reminded me of you eating that baguette!

That's true, he's more concerned about the lads getting a result at Rochdale

Pirate FM News (nothing to do with Readypower's minor second team) used that last Friday. You need some new material instead of using others; no change there then

You're just so Gareth Keenan aren't you. Rockets very own Team Leader after graduating from being team milk monitor

Which is?

The bikes do seem to have become more volatile since the new silencers were introduced. They may kill the noise but they also seem to kill the engine before it suddenly springs into life? When it's consistent power that's actually wanted.

On the wrong thread, not that it matters aye spencebel: Interesting stuff ashtree123, on 02 Aug 2015 - 11:19 PM, said:

The slack was given and taken up some time ago.

- although she could have written it for him? I think that his agent must be Aidy Ward (Raheem Sterling's (of Liverpool/Man City fame) agent for those who don't know). What goes around comes around although you probably made it up: “The ‘keyboard warriors’ are sad people with big mouths and empty pockets. They are worthless. “We have fantastic supporters on the whole but the keyboard warriors just criticise us at every opportunity yet none of them were prepared to come to a fans’ forum and discuss things face-to-face. “We try to be honest with the fans and we’re prepared to listen to constructive criticism but I’ve no time for them.” peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/speedway/fans-forum-consistent-track-is-vital-for-panthers 2010

It doesn't matter in the slightest at this time that's true because everyone's concern and thoughts should be for the injured rider: but don't confuse the issues of Lambert, the 4TT as a competition and where it goes from here? That's for another day though and on the wrong thread.

Logic would agree that a complete break seems to be needed but only he will know if he can ride through it for another 2 or 3 months. Taking an unnecessary guest booking when he's already programmed in for Fri, Sun & Mon would suggest that he thinks that he can?

We're told that he's struggling for fitness, which may be different from actually struggling for fitness which stops you riding. And before the Lambert posse get excited, that's not a go at him, just years of previous experience (with much bigger fish the Lambert) which tells us that the public communication can sometimes be a lot different from the reality of the situation. Riders often ride with injury throughout the season which means that they are not 100% fit and struggling for fitness, it comes with the job unfortunately.

I think that someone must have hacked Tsunami's account? I see that he liked this weak post and I'd have thought that a self proclaimed success story would be better than that If it drops off the board then so be it, I'm sure that we'd cope.
