Agree with everything that's been said . The BSPA had stumbled onto a good idea , probably through more luck than judgement , and have now reverted to type to mess it up . The home fans have been robbed of that extra bit of tension that makes any sport more enjoyable

Agree with everything you say though I know wee Nick is the new great Satan to the Monarchs faithful , but heats 13 and 15 were brilliant battles which Nick played his part . What a dream it would be to have a Tigers /Monarchs play off final in October . Though I think the BSF would explode . One point from Friday night , Craig Cook in heat 1 , equals track record of 54.8 and didn't have to look exceptionally quick in that race to win it . Not one other heat had a time under 57 seconds , very strange

Sad to hear Rusty took a nasty one last night , we loved having him at Glasgow last year , and who could forget his amazing 17 points at our win at Derwent Park . There were rumours he was going to retire at the end of last season , hope this latest injury hasn't made his mind up and he comes back as good as ever .

The season has not long finished , but I love Saturday nights watching the Braehead Clan in the British Elite ice hockey league . Also I love a day at the horse racing .

Enjoyable enough meeting , with Glasgow's mess up of a tactical ride offset by Edinburgh's unorthodox team riding in heat 14 . Cant complain about the end result , at least we took it to them right to the end . That's the Premier Trophy over , now for the league

If he hates what ?

True , Sedgmen cant possibly be as dreadful as he was on Sunday , and I don't see us getting much change out of Masters and Cook . So the reserves race , heat 8 and the ones with the Wolbert/Riss partnership are the ones to focus on , the impressive gating of Serjeant would have been useful . But we'll go with what we have and see if we can sneak a point .

Having a bogeyman to boo always adds spice to the derby .

The Monarchs hate Nick , excellent . We love him

Aye you're right , my euphoria was fuelled by the Horseshoe Bar's finest ales and a certain football result , so by the time we'd opened with two 5-1's and a 4-2 I was in dreamland . So the Horseshoe had to be visited again on the way home . Be brought back to earth on Friday ...................................maybe

Couple of times today he was well in front at the first bend , and that wasn't the two he got pulled back for

Hahahaha 1902 , the last time Hibs won the Scottish Cup and the last time the Monarchs faithful never had a whinge after a pumping

More chance of Hibs winning the Scottish Cup than that happening , Blobs . Face it , the smug days are over

You're quite correct and we commeted on that in the Charlie Monk stand today

All joking aside , today's scorline didn't really do justice to the gulf that existed between the sides . It's up to the Monarchs to respond now , and I'm sure Friday's return fixture will be a cracker . But with the best runner up qualifying to the semi finals , it's a good bet both Scottish clubs will make it and could even contest the final

Cook is an irrelevance , as we saw today , Masters will be Edinburgh's main man before the season is out

Honestly , Septic getting knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Inverness , followed by the Tigers pumping the Smugs . And folk wonder how I go into work on a Monday with a hangover

And endless supply of dummies

You think , I can see another chorus of " we can see you sneaking out " coming from the 3rd bend just like the good old days of 2011

For the last three seasons we've had to listen to their crap , today they were well beat and the last heat 1-5 just made the score look respectable . There was only one team , Masters apart , in it today . The ride by Nick Morris to shepherd Serjeant home in front of Wolbert was almost Parkeresque , a joy to watch . Somerset petal

He only got 3 , Branford took his fourth

Well you got your last heat 5-1 , shame it was just a consolation prize , roll on Friday I did , went to the Horseshoe Bar . Celtic knocked out the Scottish Cup to Inverness , Tigers pump the Moanarchs , now who said anything about Carlsberg doing Sundays Think they're in Warsaw

No we don't want none of that nonsense , I still shudder when I remember that time you got a heat 15 5-0 to win at Ashfield a few years back . So there will be none of that at the Peugeot Arena today

That's the spirit Blobby , though I think it has all the makings of being a cracker

Back from my wee break down south , looking forward to this . Charlie Monk stand is bound to be mobbed again , had to move to the fourth bend two weeks ago , but will be a cracking atmosphere on a sunny day and may the best team win as long as it's the Tigers
