Since our record in signing useless foreigners is second to none , you can't do without us

There is a thread for all this twit for tat nonsense elsewhere , this was meant to be a light hearted take on the speedway situation

Not the same one from a couple of years ago is it ?

It's the Tartan bunnet actually , complete with " see you Jimmy " wigs

You should head the BSPA , your organisational skills would be much needed there .

Can we have play offs as well ?

Dont be silly , Victor was good enough for heat 15 , and he wasn't last , surely something to celebrate

I've learned from experience , dont post anything on the BSF during a meeting . It's the kiss of death every time . Seriously ? Palovaara in heat 15 6 points from 4 heats since you said we were doing ok . Beware the curse of the BSF

Dont , i was saying nothing till it was over , things can still go pear shaped

Maybe , but there's still hope that 2014 wont be an addition to the " smug " years .

Would be wonderful , but highly unlikely . Both the Bandits and the Comets are minging round Overtaking Nirvana , whilst the Monarchs are perfectly capable of picking up at least a point at Shielfield and Derwent Parks .

What's wrong with that ?

Oh for god's sake get a grip

Waiting with bated breath for the BSF wages expert , Fred , to come on and give us his theory why Wolbert was rubbish yesterday .

God that was painful to watch . Consistantly outgated , and predictably outclassed . Losing Rusty , especially at home , made it a mountain to climb . And it was a mountain we never remotely looked like climbing . What do you do with Wolbert ? Looked classy in the race he did gate in , didn't look remotely interested when he didn't gate , twice disgracefully riding into the pits before the race was done . Pijper was again our best rider , though Kasper as usual tried his heart out ( Wolbert take note ) . If only Kasper could gate , though he wouldn't be as entertaining . As for the Smugs , only weakness was Samantha . So another season's worth of pumpings from our pals , not easy to take .

If he could gate he'd be a 9 point man , but not half as entertaining to watch

We did indeed . And wasn't he wild back then

Think we better give the Scandanavian market a miss in future . When we roll up in either Copenhagen or Stockholm and cry " bring out your dead " , out pops a Palovaara , or a Peter Juul , or an Anders Andersen or a Robin Tornqvist . Even back in our most successful period in the early nineties we somehow managed to acquire Mads Kornelliussen's less talented older brother Tim . There is one Scandanavian i would like to keep hold off , so if Uncle Len is willing to listen and we have the readies , then i'd make young Kasper an asset .

Been a bit of a damp squib . Too weather affected leading to the present spate of double headers , too many foreign riders disappearing over to the continent at the weekend and missing their club's fixtures , and the doubling up/down thing has been a total shambles .

Not a glass half full attitude at all . We can all see what cost us tonight , but with the signing deadline now past , there's no point dwelling on it and wondering what if .

Ah well , the predictable 5-1 came to fruition . Still it's a point which keeps us clear of the battle for the wooden spoon .

Plus 4 points from Hall's r/r rides is more than he's been scoring . Heat 14 vital now cause as you say , i cant see anything other than a 5-1 in 15

Reserves are always vital , your duff reserves is slightly more damaging than our duff number 1

Give him a chance Gaz , Inspector Rebus might be away collecting evidence as we speak

It's taken a while , but at last Kevin Wolbert is consistently showing the kind of form we hoped for at the start of the season . We look a pretty solid outfit at home now , despite a passenger at number 1 . Of course that assertion will come under it's toughest scrutiny next Sunday when Greyfriars Bobby's septet of smug comes calling .
