TTT Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 (edited) Wasn't Turnbull the referee at Oxford as well when Nicholls got excluded riding for Ipswich in Heat 15 after Tungate knocked him off?

Putting the result to one side, referee Turnbull had a really poor meeting , making some blatant errors. She is clearly not of a standard to referee these prestige meetings. Maybe a more experienced referee ought to be selected for these high pressure meetings. You don't need to be experienced to look at a monitor, (several times), see Max Fricke lift and wipe out an opponent, and then exclude him... Nor need to be experienced to see the same thing happen in two races, and make the same decision on the second occasion that you made previously... It is glaring you in the face in slow motion several times... I am truly amazed that anyone could make so many, not even close decisions, so poorly... Especially given you get the chance to watch them back as many times as you need to... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clemens Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 Maybe the ref thinks that controversy maketh a meeting Have you thought of it from that angle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW436 Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 Since the Russians can’t stop Bartosz strolling to another world title without much trouble maybe get Christine involved to spice up the GP series. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40-38 Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 I'm amazed how many people have been insinuating it's somehow Leicester's fault the ref is crap. We gave Ipswich more than enough chances over 2 legs to put us away, we're probably the most generous side in the play offs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s clearly lost it. Why? We didn't ask her to be crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 As if Ipswich havent had enough bad luck losing the two best riders in the league they get Turnbull as referee, she was an absolute joke with her decisions, refs obviously make mistakes but her performance went beyond that tonight, it went into the category of corrupt, how can she makes so many bad calls in one meeting? She needs a ban imposing and investigating. Surely the authorities have to take action? Feel for Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler42 Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 Surely who ever gave her the meeting should be questioned. Who decides what meetings refs are given? She should never be allowed to referee a speedway meeting again. Anyone ref half sensible would have taken track conditions into account regarding 1st bend incidents. The only decision she made against Leicester was a shoe in, yet she took ages make it. Frick was out of control when he came out of the gate in heat 13, but she obviously did not agree and gave him the benefit of doubt.. No such luxury afforded to Rew in his 1st race! She showed so much incompetence, You do have to consider if there was any match fixing going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 Shame the weather affected track conditions. Shame the referees decisions influenced the outcome. Couple of very questionable calls. Both which went against Witches. But let's be honest Leicester are going to give the Tigers of Owlerton more of a contest in the final than 5 Witches & 2 guests.

If you can post your frustration here copy and paste it into an email and just press send. I am not a supporter of either of tonight’s teams and feel the meeting was decided in the worst possible way by an inept referee. They said on tv even the Leicester riders couldn’t believe Rew’s exclusion. SCB chair: jim.lawrence@scbgb.co.uk Sent,I feel that strongly about it.They need to wake up a smell the coffee and suspend referee's that make constant blunders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 Just going to put this out there for some context regarding Danny King Firstly he is 38 he isn’t going to get better so those of you expecting that are clueless We went very strong top two and signed the best 2 reserves in the league…. This meant the middle order would be weaker … we signed Rew back and then 2 guys who would provide middle order stability in Ellis and King…. Danny had the slightly higher average so rode at number 3…. A position he held until we lost Doyle which meant he got moved to 5 and he isn’t a number 5 Nobody started moaning about him until after we lost Emil … some fans thinking he should get double figures every week…. He was never signed to do that He has rode the season with a terrible hand injury and now a foot injury He has had some good meetings and some awful ones but he is not the rider he was He may well leave and i think he should but the abuse he has been getting is uncalled for 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted September 12, 2024 Report Share Posted September 12, 2024 That is why a lot of fans didn’t want him in the team this season, we need riders who are going to improve and you just admitted he isn’t going to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
