A professional tool? Hmmm - aren't there a few on here

Over a month and you decide to resurrect this thread now!

Coming from a Poole fan - that's hilarious

I would be happy with that

Obviously I would like to see Swindon win but I would be happy if they took the fight to Wolves and gave a good showing - like they should have done on Monday. Given that Swindon haven't won at Wolves this season, it would be a tall order but anything can happen in speedway. May the best team win.

Wolves 42 - 48 Swindon And then I woke up

Well it's 47-43 to Wolves and the fat lady is clearing her throat. COYR - show some fight and maybe cause an upset!

Well deserved win for Wolves - Robins need a rocket up their jackseys for Wednesday. What would have happened if Freddie and Jacob had been riding? On to Wednesday but it looks like Wolves have done more than enough tonight

Shocking from Swindon - Wolves want this more. The biggest choke in Play-off history. Goes to show that it wasnt the foregone conclusion most thought . Such is life! Its not over yet (fingers crossed)

I would have no issue with this - although as has been pointed out it is not currently permitted in the rules. Losing one rider would be bad enough but to lose the top 2 certainly doesn't seem like a fair match-up - but that's not Swindon's fault.

Try Robins Farm - you can actually see the stadium from there but you need to drive around the block

Gavan actually contributes some interesting discussion. His Achilles heel is that he can't (or won't) let things said by certain Poole posters go by without responding. This starts a vicious cycle where the Poole mafia know the "buttons to press" and then they act like the victims and try and get him banned. What I see are a collection of Poole posters winding him up deliberately to get a reaction and that to me is a form of bullying. My advice to Gavan and the aforementioned Poole mafia is to put each other on ignore and avoid the temptation to respond when posts are quoted. That way we don't all have to suffer your petty point scoring!

Well it's definitely Harris at Swindon http://swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2999

If Swindon win it, the gloss certainly won't have come off. If they win it will be because they deserve it and can only race what's put in front of them! And what if Wolves win - will the gloss have come off for you? Somehow I think not!

Just wanted to add that I am really gutted for Lindgren in the SGPs. The same thing happened to Jason last year so I hope Freddie comes back strong next year. Freddie isn't my favourite rider but he has been loyal to British speedway and it's a shame that he cannot lead the Wolves in the grand final matches in the Premiership.

I was thinking the same about you (and Starman)

I'm not really looking for a close, tense thriller - I am looking for Swindon to win and nights like last Monday up to heat 12, I can do without. I am looking for Swindon to build up a big lead tomorrow (20 points would be nice) and finish it off on Wednesday. What I don't need is a Poole fan trying to take the gloss of the title before it is won. Whoever wins will deserve it as we have the top 2 teams from the league campaign. If I was a wolves fan of course I would be gutted but I wouldn't be throwing the towel in just yet. As pointed out previously, Swindon have gone into matches this year without their top 2 and come away with a win - so nothing is certain. COYR

Such a shame for Freddie - best wishes for a speedy recovery. It might be an anti climax for you but not for others - particularly Swindon and Wolves fans. Yes its a blow for Wolves but you cant write off any team in the playoffs (except Poole )

Having just seen the clip I cannot understand how the ref excluded Bjerre. Never 50/50 - it was Lindgrens fault every day of the week!

There was nothing wrong with what he said - he said it was a shame that he was injured and well placed in the SGPs but that the crash was his own fault so he can't feel bad about it (the crash - not the fact that Freddie was injured). I think you may be a bit touchy having just scraped into the final and looking like your top two will be out. With regards to the Tungate incident, as many people have said it was 50/50 - some people thought Thorsell was at fault and some thought Tungate so I don't think anyone is being massively hypocritical at all! Just my opinion This is the bit where fans from every team say their fans are the best. Trying to unbiased, I would say that Zummerzet fans can claim that one!

You know that isn't true. It is definitely an advantage to Swindon if Freddie and Jacob is out but as you saw against Poole, Swindon did their level best to gift it to Poole. Never good to be over-confident (like some Poole fans) because it can easily come back and bite you in the derrière. May the best team win - COYR

So Wolves scrape past BV - COYR

There is already a thread for this

Only one point in it on aggregate at the end - sooo close!
