Stop kidding yourself, you have brought these subjects up on here previously. Having temporary amnesia or hoping no one would remember your past mud slinging. How ironic you spout on about "decency" and "moral (note spelling btw ) high ground" - typical hypocritical, holier than thou, response from the Tigeratti when someone gives them as good as they gave, they go whimpering about how nasty the Monarchs fans are.

Reliably informed that the transfer fee received for Aaron Summers from Redcar, was utilised to buy Craig, who was not in the Worky team plans for 2011. Await response from Mr Know All (aka, Manse) to my questions re Geraldo & Michael Angelo's conduct. See you're still having problems reading posts correctly, where questions asked are suddenly interpreted by you as slurs

Aye keep spouting the same unsubstantiated crap and ignore the on-track facts that you have been living in our shadows for some time. If Jack & Victor Soprano hadn't bailed you lot out, you would have gone to wall, but let's ignore that eh. As are the "man in the know", care to confirm or deny that the Geraldo & Michael Angelo Facenna :- a) sent the heavies round to evict Dimitri Berge from his lodgings and repossessed his van, leaving him and his possessions on the street ? b ) instructed their fellow Directors not to attend the second leg of the Premier League Play Off at Armadale ?

Think you've been sharing too many Buckie & Methadone cocktails with the Weegies on here, to come out with this incoherent tripe Oops, forgot the Ashfield cocktail also includes a large dash of Bitters

Stuck for a proper answer eh - drowning in your own bitterness at Edinburgh's on track success again !

Hopefully not, considering they have been the most successful team on track this millennium Still I suppose the paranoid jealousy of Geraldo & Michael Angelo and their band of camp followers need something other than what happened on the track, to have a pop at Scotland's most successful team

Really ! According to Edinburgh website:- Fri 20th May Edinburgh v To Be Confirmed League Cup 7.30pm Also from Glasgow website:- Sun 12th June, v TBC League Cup So I suggest you are twisting the facts as you well Know all clubs have dates scheduled for home fixtures where the details of the event are still to be finalised. What would be relevant would be to ascertain:- Who proposed the same date that was already published in the Edinburgh home fixture list ? Can Glasgow hold such an event on another weekday, given that such BSPA events have been frequently held on other weekdays, particularly Thursdays ?

Jack Holder, Max Clegg, Fernando Garcia, Richie Worrall, Ben Barker

Fair comma

Oh dear getting up tight when your bully boy tactics cut no ice with me. As expected, you resort to personal insults when someone derides your pathetic attempt at sarcasm on an Edinburgh thread. Time you took a reality check and realised the only "clown" you see is when you are adoring yourself in the mirror

Typical illiterate, ungracious post - you cannot even compose a short sentence together. Instead of trying to be sarcastic, time you tried to improve your command of English. P.S. the words you were struggling with are posts and they're

Pity you had not read my original post fully before trying to be a smart ass - Mac101 has already acknowledged his original post was erroneous. Try re-reading again and given you are always sniping others on here, can I expect a rapid response

Cockle had a final PL GSA in 2012 of 3.47 hence why he is ineligible. However Tom Perry had a final PL GSA of 3.53 with Somerset in 2012, which dropped to 3.00 in 2014 with Scunthorpe, which suggests that eligibility is based on a rider's most recent GSA, hence why Peterborough were permitted to declare him as their 2016 number seven.. You're making this up - kindly quote the relevant official regulation if true.

Yes it would if there was a new British discovery who had never previously ridden in the NL, but was considered good enough to start directly in the PL.

On paper, this 1 - 7 has the potential to be the 2016 Champs. Previous posters reckoned Comets have previously looked good on paper but under achieved on track. IMO the most significant impediment has been that they have been decimated by injury, often long term. Given the rough time Cumbria has had with recent floods, and also having a fair minded Promoter, I would be pleased if the Comets take the 2016 PL title.

See Tigers Victor & Barry are entertaining us on the Monarchs thread again tonight – “I really like your post George, and I sooo like your post Gaz”. Take it you pair ride a tandem to Ashfield and take turns in the rear to admire the view in front

Would agree with others that Fernando Garcia could well improve considerably if mounted on decent bikes, which I would expect Glasgow to ensure is the case. When he guested for the Monarchs in the League Cup Final at the Dale, he beat Richard Lawson fair and square, which was no mean feat. Capturing Richie Worrall on his present average is a steal and I would imagine that Newcastle are very disappointed at failing to re-sign him. On paper, the 2016 Tigers appear to be as good as, if not better, than any other side so far declared.

Unquestionably the best signing in the PL for 2016 is Lambert. When he was up at Armadale he came across as a modest youngster in the pits, not the Billy Big Time some on here claim. Given his tender years and the parental support he has had from an early age, it is not unreasonable Ma & Pa are protective of their son's speedway career and they should be given some slack on here by certain snide critics.

Until Craig has gained experience of regularly riding on the Polish & Swedish tracks, none of us will know whether or not he will qualify as a regular in the GPs. I have to disagree that he does not have the head for it, or the talent, and imo, the missing ingredient was that his machinery was below the standard of the top guys in the EL who also ride in Sweden & Poland This appeared to change with his recent closer link up with Ashley Holloway providing and tuning, engines for him, The result of this was that he ended up the top scorer in EL Play-Off Final, with 25 out of a possible 30 from 10 rides, which also included a zero for an exclusion. He subsequently rode in Poland at Krakow, a track he had never seen before, and finished runner up to Patryk Dudek (who had previously scored a max in the star studded Darcy Ward Benefit Meeting at Poole) in the Lord Mayor Cup winner-takes-all final, having previously defeated Dudek in the 20 heat qualifier. The Polish match report described him as the "impressive Craig Cook" and it appears he has now had several offers from both Promoters and Sponsors to race in Poland in 2016. Whether these impressive late Season performances at the top level will continue in 2016 remains to be seen, but I think your "no chance" comment at this point in time is unjustified.

Let’s remind ourselves of what we have achieved in the past two seasons, in terms of national trophies and also topping the League, which I reckon no other club has come near to, since the inception of the Premier League. In 2014, the Monarchs topped the Premier League table, won the Premier League Play-Off, won the KO Cup, won the Premier Trophy, and were also PL Pairs winners. With success came the requirement to break up a brilliant septet to meet the overall team building limit total GSA of 42.5 for 2015. So out went Derek Sneddon (retired), Max Fricke (to Belle Vue), Stevie Worrall (to Newcastle), and Aaron Fox (returned to USA), to be replaced by Kevin Wölbert (returning to the Monarchs from a hostile time at Glasgow), Rob Branford (resuming his career in the UK after injury in 2013), Max Clegg (doubling up from NL Cradley Heath) and finally Erik Riss, (a 19 year old German, with very little experience of riding conventional Speedway) Having experienced the euphoria of supporting Edinburgh to their best ever season in 2014, I was happy enough to settle for that forever, and did not expect similar success this season. But, to my surprise and possibly most other Monarchs fans, we probably did as well, topping the Premier League table again, winning the Premier League Play-Off again, retaining the Premier Trophy, plus winning the Premier Fours and Premier Shield in 2015. We will yet again have to break up another Magnificent Seven for 2016, but it’s a price worth paying to have experienced such stellar success in consecutive seasons. I do not expect us to win anything next season and will be happy if we continue to see good quality racing on the excellently prepared Armadale track. I will leave others to speculate on the composition of the 2016 Edinburgh Monarchs but win, lose or draw, I will continue to support my team at home, and sometimes away. Whoever wins the medals in 2016 we will graciously acknowledge their achievements, rather than adopt the “anyone but them” attitude displayed by certain jealous parties towards the Monarchs over 2014 – 2015. It would however be nice if some side that has not achieved much success at second tier level were to gain major national success, such as Berwick or Plymouth.

You're the one with humour bypass or you don't understand the meaning of emoticons. When you poke fun at others it's banter - fair enough, but when some of us return the compliment you suddenly become thin skinned. Thanks for confirming you have a mum, rather than being an orphan

Alternatively you could have Ryan Fisher on 7.52 who might be even better, given his previous performances at Ashfield, which iirc, included a five ride maximum

So I take it you had a good scrub up after the Somerset match at Ashfield, as a precaution in case any Celtic season ticket holders had taken up the free ticket offer ? Wonder if the Facennas support either of the Old Firm

So does Spell and Check apparently - it's entourage b.t.w.
