Any word on when the KO Cup tie will be now ?

Steve Jones in for Anders i'm hearing , oh dear

What average do they come in on ?

There is also the famous night at Coatbridge . Scotland v Norway international meeting and the pipe band is doing it's stuff walking round the track before the meeting . Gets near tapes up time and the referee puts the riders for heat 1 on 2 minutes , and out they come . Unfortunately the pipe band is still on the track , kilts and bagpipes scatter in all direction

You'll get it in the neck now for apologising

We seem to race each other about twice a month anyway , probably wouldn't notice the difference if we were in a league of two

Wasn't the Pairs , was a league match . But seems Wee George and the Somerset Chicken are well acquainted

oh ma sides

My mate " Wee George " getting told he wasn't getting let on the National Express coach coming back from Birmingham in 2009 cause he was pissed . And convincing a , yet again , pissed Wee George that he was hallucinating when the Somerset chicken mascot hugged him . He poured his scrumpy out in the flower beds

Yep , they have memories like Elephants in Smugville and still speak of it more than 10 years after the event

He still has legendary status at Armadale for claiming he was having a heart attack to get a meeting delayed cause one of his riders ( Davy Watt i think ) was late arriving

I see . Heat 8 was the best race of the aborted meeting . There was passing and repassing between Kasper Lykke and Luke Bowen , and both of them were right on the tail of Jason Garrity . At this point the track had actually dried out pretty well and the racing was getting better , but as soon as the riders left the track after the race - down it came again as heavy as before . And that was that , much to the relief of a worried Tigers support .

What's wrong with them . It was describing the deterioration of the track caused by the heavy rain from when i got to the track at 2 , till we eventually got underway at 3-30 .

I always agree with beautiful women

The perfect race happens in two weeks time . Edinburgh roll up at Ashfield boasting a 15 meeting unbeaten run , or something like that , heat 15 sees Kevin Wolbert and Rusty Harrison line up against The Blessed Cookie and The Golden Child . The scores are level at 42-42 The Grand Monarch is reffing and Cook gets away with his usual roller and gets a good lead . Kevin and Rusty are in hot pursuit while the Golden Child is doing his maths homework at the back . A draw looks the likeliest outcome until the two brave Tigers do a pincer movement over the blessed one and fly past on the back straight in the last lap , sparking much joy as we cross the line for a match winning 5-1 . Paulco orders a taxi from the track 3 hours later

James McBain sitting in the stand instead of being ready to race ? If you use r/r then it's madness not to name a number 8 especially at home . With Anders crashing and having to withdraw then obviously Kasper would have to take his rides . Which leaves the r/r rides as a problem . Okay a number 8 might not score owt in the r/r rides , but ef's happen

Rain saved us today . Why did we not name a number 8 at home when using r/r ? If this meeting had carried on then we would have to have raced heat 10 and 12 or 14 with only one rider . That's amateur stuff from Glasgow . In answer to Fred , the track was unraceable in my opinion after the torrential shower before the start . After the delay to take Anders Thomsen to hospital , the whole time was dry and the track actually dried out pretty well . Heat 8 was as i described it in the updates , great race between three riders . After that the rain came battering down again as heavy as before the meeting and an abandonment was inevitable . Rye will be unhappy as they looked the likliest winners with Glasgow's silly decision not to have a number 8 .

That's normal though

There you go Grachan , the Fuhrer has spoken

And the winner of the funniest post on this thread goes to ..........................................

We need at least a 12-14 point lead to take down there , so we need to get off to a flying start .

Of course i live in the wrong place , but it would be hard getting to work from Mauritius every day . Anyway after all the wet stuff that fell in the wrong place last night , been dry all morning so far . It is cloudy and showers is a possibility , so fingers crossed . See you later Lioness

Nope , they're just lucky

Not at all , going by this season's rules you could use r/r for Rosen in that eventuality

Couldnt get any wetter tonight if it tried , hope this rain ceases during the night and doesn't return
