Erm , Darcy Ward

Only to us , not Jason Garrity

Nah , we've nobody as irritating as Desperate Deek in our septet

Good luck my beloved Tigers , stay safe guys and try not to get a pumping

I watched him ride Armadale ( or try too ) for Somerset a few years back . His bike looked to be far too powerful for the track as when he got to the bends it was Bambi on ice stuff . Maybe it's just Armadaleitus with him . Plus in his career he's ridden for Berwick , Workington , Somerset and Sheffield - not a small track rider

Sunday 25th August 2013 Glasgow 36 - Grieves 11 Jacobs 6+3 Bager 6 Lemon (g) 6 North 5+1 Ringwood 2 Thomsen 0 Ipswich 56 - Barker 13 Heeps 10+4 Lanham 10 Tungate 9+1 Ellis 6 Hawkins 5+2 Risager 3 So as you can see , a bit of a slaughter . But that was then , this is now . Tomorrow's forecast is favourable and i think this has all the makings of a very tight , entertaining encounter .

That whisper has being getting louder as the weeks go by . His number 1 performance in last week's KO Cup meeting doesn't count in his average

Samantha Fox on Sunday , oh dear

Interesting column in last week's Glasgow v Rye House programme about Charlie . Apparently some sick joker sent informed the Govan Press newspaper , in the winter of 1966 , that Charlie had been killed in an accident in Australia . Back in those days i suppose it must have caused a lot of stress and worry as there was no internet or owt then . Embarrassingly the newspaper had to print an apology

He was much the same at Glasgow last Sunday . With these riders riding so often in different leagues , are some away meetings just becoming a chore for some riders ?

I think we're all amazed in the improvement in Charles this season , but good luck to the lad

I know , but i thought we had a wee sniff of getting a point tonight with the Rebels ' injury problems . Will i ever learn haha

Wolbert back to normal

I've never heard of that before . I'm not disputing it , but i've only heard of referees throwing riders out of the rest of a meeting , not just the one race

Dont think anyone is saying that , far from it actually . As speedway fans we get thrilled by riders fighting their way to the front from the back , that in itself carries certain risks . Despite your ridiculous post , i dont believe for a minute riders go out to fence other riders . Ok you get the odd inappropriate rush of blood to the head , but in general there is total respect between the riders

Who would you rather pay money to go and watch Nicki Pedersen and Darcy Ward or Greg Hancock and Jarek Hampel . Speedway always has loved to revel and heap derision on it's so called bad guys in equal measures . We need the bad guys to put bums on seats . Was Glasgow v Edinburgh a tastier contest when it was Parker v Fisher , you bet it was .

So after the hilarity of England's World Cup exit , we can get back to the speedway again . And it's a wee toughie this Sunday . The only side to face the smug steamroller and not lose , the Witches of Ippo . Led by the now lesser Worrall and ably backed up by messers Tungate and Risager . How their American will do on our track is anybodies guess , but their lower order of Heeps , Ellis and Hawkins could be troublesome . We will be heartened by last week's performance and have Edinburgh's Aaron Fox as this week's guest reserve ( he's only Samantha when riding for the smugs ) This will be the third meeting in three days for both teams , so i hope these line-ups make it to the tapes . Glasgow 1 Kevin Wolbert 2 Christian Henry 3 Anders Thomsen 4 Theo Pijper 5 Rusty Harrison 6 Kasper Lykke 7 Aaron Fox Ipswich 1 Richie Worrall 2 Cameron Heeps 3 Morten Risager 4 Gino Manzares 5 Rohan Tungate 6 Adam Ellis 7 Richie Hawkins Hard meeting to predict . Ipswich came up here last year and battered us , but we were an embarrassment last year and we have shown some improvement . But the Witches are in form at the minute and this one could go either way

It is a crazy loophole in the rules though , but in saying that he wasn't anything special at Glasgow last Sunday

Love this , almost as smug as " you know who "

Anders Thomsen could be the key to us having any chance of a point , his recent away form has been outstanding

Spot on Shadders . I quoted the two above posts cause there's nothing more annoying than the high and mighty mob who have a go when , god forbid , we complain about the dross we're expected to pay our good money to support . You had it off Somerset , we had it off the Smugs and it aint nice . Watching Glasgow v Rye last Sunday , it looked two very mediocre sides , but some take umbridge when we get fed up .

Yep , look at the money you'll save
