Thanks for the explanation Mr Blobby Pity some aren't quite so friendly

So what was the strop on the Chatzone all about when the Golden Child got excluded by the " Weegie " ref ?

Considering Ipswich are at Workington on Saturday night , i think it's safe to assume he'll be staying up north

Reality has obviously kicked in . My brother got a wee bit overexcited about nearly beating an understrength mid table outfit .

There's not much to chose between the two , both are perfectly adequate . There is far worse in the PL than both of those

Sunday May 5th . That was the last time we had a setback in our quest for that coveted speedway trophy , the wooden spoon . That day we , somehow , beat title contenders Newcastle . But since then we have got our spoon quest back on track with a long line of defeats . This week's recipients of away points are the Ipswich Witches led by Ben Barker , Rohan Tungate and Leigh Lanham . The last time Tungate was up here , he ended up in hospital with an injury in an embarrassing place , this time things should have a more favourable ending . Glasgow continue to stumble along in glorious mediocrity , and it's hard to see us seriously troubling the Witches in what is surely a crucial away fixture in their play-off quest . We're having an armed forces day at Glasgow this Sunday , so maybe a couple of carefully aimed scud missiles into the Ipswich side of the pits might give us a fighting chance

Really disappointing . Cant see anything other than the wooden spoon for us this season .

I'm quite sure a tennis final or even the final round of the British Open golf ( which regularly clashes with the speedway too ) isn't a major consideration when compiling fixtures . There's also the British F1 GP clashing with this Sunday's meeting , plus the Eastenders omnibus on a Sunday . Seems the only reasonable course of action is to switch to a Friday night at Glasgow , to avoid all these sporting clashes .

I think Cyclone means some of his least favourite Scottish people coming over from the west posing as Lions fans As if we'd do such a thing

Only a sense of glee Personally i walk around with a semi when that happens

Says the guy who interacts with Mr Blobby

Aye Workington were good that day

Just about sums the meeting up , it wasn't great . Our gating was terrible today , perfectly summed up in heat 15 when Bellego and Lawson got to the 1st bend about 4 bike lengths ahead of us . I honestly cant see where the next win is coming from . Yes Berwick deserved it , but no disrespect to them , they're no better than a mid table outfit . The top teams would have slaughtered us today

No , it's r/r for Kozza

There's no better rider in the Premier League round Ashfield than the Son of God . Him for Kennett is a huge plus , however the loss of Barrett more than offsets that - he is pretty much irreplaceable at reserve . Lewis Blackbird had a very good meeting when Scunthorpe were up and would be the best option if available . Don't think it's to be constant rain today , what we have now is showers and longer periods of brightness . I think that will be what we will get all day - it all depends on the length and severity of those showers .

Certainly no danger of that . Pretty overcast in the Glasgow area this morning , though it is dry now after heavy overnight rain . Forecast isn't too clear , but i'm hopeful

I was hoping for Compton at 4 , his experience could be vital in a heat 14 of a tight meeting

He's competative when he gates , forget about him when he doesn't . His away form was pretty awful . He looked a lot quicker that day he crashed against Workington , but i'm really not sure that he'll be back or not .

All i know is that it's for family reasons

Ah well , surely Berwick will be able to call up a decent guest . Along the lines of Son of God or Edinburgh's GP superstar

Why has that GP Challenge meeting today been rained off and put back till tomorrow ?

Bus is cancelled

Last one was a very decent meeting , which might have gone Berwick's way had the unfortunate Ricky Ashworth not crashed out of the meeting ( and i'm beginning to think the season ) Glasgow's team changes are very interesting and have the potential to make us a lot more competative . Berwick have more than a couple of riders who have shown a liking for the Ashfield shale in the past . Impossible to predict who might prevail tomorrow .

After last week's individual nonsense , it's back to proper speedway this Sunday as we welcome the Bandits . With James Wright calling it a day and Harley Horwood going back home , it's a big Ashfield welcome to our new Tigers , Andre Compton and Jonas Raun . How we will line up is a mystery , but Joey Ringwood should be fit and drops to reserve . Berwick will obviously fancy joining the recent list of winning teams at Ashfield , and with the likes of Eddie Kennett , Kozza Smith , Robin Aspregen , Bellend and the lively reserve Nikki Barrett , this will be a cracking encounter .

I didn't go to the individual meeting yesterday , i don't really like them , so i never heard the announcement . But from what i can gather it's family reasons .
