Aye we are . You are annoyingly good most seasons , while we are .................well just not as annoyingly good mostly . Still i think we closed the gap a bit yesterday , and if we are at full strength whenever the next league match at Ashfield is , then you never know

I think the point is , how do we replace the over 50's over the next 10 or 20 years

No , he said Craig Cook was a number 2

Didn't quite reach the entertainment value of the Plymouth meeting the week before , but it was still a pretty good match . Obviously it's never nice to lose to the Monarchs , especially at home , but they are a solid outfit and there was still reason to be proud of the Tigers' performance in the meeting . Sooner we get back to full strength the better though .

We know Cook chances his arm at the starts , we've all seen it . But that's not to say he isn't a decent rider . The question is though , how does this Edinburgh record equalling side stack up against that wonderful Hammers side

He got pulled up today

At Glasgow today , Edinburgh equalled the unbeaten record of the wonderful Arena Essex side of 1991 . I know times have changed and i admire the brilliant start the Monarchs have had , but are Cook , Masters and co really the equal of Brian Karger , Bo Petersen and that fantastic side of 1991 , which Glasgow took to a replay in the KO Cup final of that year

Edinburgh are certainly are very decent side , even with your number one having an iffy meeting by his high standards , you didnt look like losing today

Ach that was good today , we gave the buggers a run for their money , at least it wasn't a slaughter . When we gated in heat 15 i thought we might have got a draw , but sadly not to be . You canny take it away from them , Edinburgh are a very good side and are head and shoulders above everybody else at the moment .

Dry morning so far . Looks like it's all systems go . Horseshoe Bar at opening time if anyone fancies joining me and Willie Morris

Just getting my stuff looked out for tomorrow . Anti-smug spray , plenty money for alcohol , worry beads . Yup i'm ready

Weather forecast looks much more positive now , so at least the rain shouldn't scupper that attempt . But just imagine after the wonderful unbeaten start to the season , it was the Tiggers who brought it to an end God i would be in some nick at work on Monday morning

Seems to be the reason . The doubling up should be a natural progression from PL to EL . A rider should be able to double up for two seasons before being made to choose whether he's an EL rider or a PL rider . And if he chooses the former and he gets dropped , if he drops back down to PL , he stays there for the rest of that season . With the mess we have now , nobody knows who's riding for who .

When he's fit and not before

Ben Barker is in town , just a precaution

So despite the protestations from our rule book experts from the east , we haven't actually done anything wrong ........................phew

Tuesdays is not the real issue . At Glasgow we dont get anymore than 500 through the turnstiles these days and we race on a Sunday afternoon . It's the sport as a whole , in this country , which seems to be dying on it's feet and nobody has a clue how to halt the decline .

Calm yourself , obviously we have been granted a facility . I actually think we should have signed a short term replacement , but after the way we were cheated in the David Bellego affair , the reluctance to do so is understandable .

So are we using illegal guests then ?

Exactly , the ruling must have changed . With the BSPA's Exhalted Cyclops sitting in residence 20 odd miles away along the M8 , there's no chance of us pulling a fast one

Been discussed before , too many stupid image rights associated with speedway . My mate takes photos from the centre green at Glasgow and he's not allowed to even put them on facebook till days after the meeting . It's mental

Thought the 19th was changed to August the 12th for the telly Sorry i see the 19th is the KO Cup Berwick v The Smugs now

Sadly there's nothing to attract young people at the moment . We were stood on the back straight at Glasgow last Sunday and there was a grand total of 2 kids . The majority of the rest of the inhabitants wouldnt see 50 again . There's just too much going on elsewhere for youngsters to be interested in standing in a crumbling stadium , whistling with their hands in their pockets as another delay takes place while listening to mindnumbing gibberish over the microphone in between the seventies greatest hits being played . By god we even had Crazy Horses by the Osmonds being played at Glasgow the other week

I see we've moved Anders to the number 2 jacket and r/r for Christian will be at 3

The last few posts have made me realise the scariest thing . Derek Sneddon is now Scotland's number 1
