ShanoXtra Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 30 minutes ago, foreverblue said: He isnt riding Championship so I doubt its too much, just not in great form although he I believe be does not do very well when riding every day and the travelling. I remember last season in the play offs he was riding every day and travelling a lot and he was awful at Oxford in the first leg,he just looked drained but had recovered at Poole and was very good. If that is the case and he doesn’t perform very well when travelling I think he might be in the wrong sport! Either that or he will never become a complete rider. When you have GPs to add into the mix others just get on with it. I think he knows he let the club and the fans down by lack of social media last night and today! Thompson has been a shining light for us so often so it was hard to see him so poor last night, I know that Richie said he had an ear infection but all I hear every time we lose is excuses and I’m done with it. If we won (which would could of with a few more points from falls etc) we wouldn’t hear any excuses. The fact you fight all year to get to these matches with some significants and then just don’t turn up is why I went away frustrated. The uproar of emotion in the stadium when Kerr went hard on Thompson was actually probably just as much anger and frustration at our own teams performance and it finally came out of everyone!

szkocjasid Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 (edited) One thing that confuses me, so Rob Lyon wanted to use Harrison in heat 15 for his 3rd ride, so why not just use him in heat 13 instead? It would be against the same 2 Ipswich riders? Why would using Harrison in 15 be any more beneficial than in 13? Either way allows Klindt in 12 & 14! Even if the argument was to not take a ride away from Lawson in heat 13, you could just give him heat 15 instead.

The question was could his 3rd ride be heat 15 - being refused a switch in 13 was never an issue Personally I have no doubt Rob Lyon knew the answer and it was mo more than a well timed piece of gamesmanship from a wily old campaigner! The worrying part is the fact referee didn't seem to know such a basic regulation off pat! Rob's actions and use to make the most of the reserve across both legs made a significant contribution to the result - particularly manipulating a Kvech win in heat 8 of the first leg........ Good luck to Lynn in the final 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the argument was to not take a ride away from Lawson in heat 13, you could just give him heat 15 instead. its not really confusing is it the idea was to get the tie won before 15 when harrisons third ride would be moot personally id have gone harrsion in 13 too but lawson is perfectly capable of popping out and taking points from doyle & emil so can see why he got the ride suspect he wanted klindt for 15 although id have put him in 14 rather than kerr so good job im not manager 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Did Klindt hit King in heat 6 going into the first turn as he was looking back and slowed down before the red lights came on. Should it have been all four back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 12 hours ago, Hawk127 said: Too many years of putting heart and soul into Ipswich having stopped it going under in the 90’s and then pandering to the hierarchy who run the sport to not selling out to Mr Chapmam to not having weekly meetings and being left with what is a shadow of what the sport was just a few years back, just how much does an owner/ promoter persevere before you decide I am flogging a dead horse. I remember weekly meetings at Foxhall with good support and every effort was made to get a meeting on despite the weather etc but now that has all gone by the wayside. The Louis family have put more than most into the sport but surely they eventually draw the line on a failing business model. I suppose you could the same for all promoters as speedway today is a failing business model, i wonder how much Tolley lost investing in Birmingham? Whatever they come up with next season will be interesting as i can still see self interest prevailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should it have been all four back No if anything I think he got a nudge from Doyle. Agreed first bend bunching so should have been all 4 back.

KevtheRev Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Couldn't Harrison have just touched the tapes in Heat14 and then Klindt have been bought in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope because it doesn’t count as a proper ride, if he had been in heat 14 and done that, it would be three riders in the rerun which would have then counted as a third ride, hope that makes sense.

So it must of been ok. “It was just hard racing in heat 14, I don’t think the referee did anything wrong. It is one of those things and I have no complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone with a good memory, it was almost identical to the incident at the NSS a few seasons ago when Doyle came steaming under Bewley and Bewley dropped it. On that occasion the ref got it wrong and excluded Doyley, this time the ref got it spot on IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A point worth making about heat 14 last night though is that the reason there was no contact is purely down to self preservation from Dan T Should you have to take a hit from an incoming missile in order to benefit from exclusion decision? Certainly being in one piece is far more important than the result....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should it have been all four back I didn’t think he did. The ref must have had a good view. The track certainly did respond the way it did for King the week before.
