eide67 Posted Thursday at 01:04 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:04 PM No Victor Palovaara for Edinburgh due to illness and they go with R/R. Given the recent performances of both teams this should be fine, but I've got a sneaky suspicion this might be quite a tough fixture. Teams from Edinburgh website: Friday 8th August: Edinburgh Monarchs v Scunthorpe Scorpions (Championship), Armadale, 7:30pm STELLAR MONARCHS: Rider replacement for Victor Palovaara, Paco Castagna (Capt.), Justin Sedgmen, Kye Thomson, Michael Palm Toft, Jonatan Grahn, Jordy Loftus. ELLIE ROSE SCORPIONS: Steve Worrall, Zaine Kennedy, Luke Harrison, Connor Mountain, Jake Allen, Declan Kennedy, Simon Lambert (Capt.)

I think the monarchs will be fine they have enough strength in depth at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted Thursday at 10:17 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:17 PM I will be happy if we get a respectable tally of points after our recent away performances. An away win would be good , but I live in hope! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted yesterday at 12:25 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:25 PM What should be a straight forward home win on paper, but you never know. No Victor meaning anyone can have a ride, still can’t have any passengers with him missing. Really need MPT to stand up tonight and put in a decent performance as he’s yet to do so (apart from scunny). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jamie Posted yesterday at 12:40 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:40 PM R/R for Victor, at first glance, looks like it's weakening the Monarchs quite substantially, especially given his home average of 9.23. However, from his 3 meetings at number 1, he's only averaging 6.77. Compare this to the 'replacement 4': JS - 7.77 MC - 6.46 KT - 5.82 MPT - 5.67 ...it may just about be manageable. Castagna and MPT in heat 13. I may have to hide behind the home straight sofa at that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Plymouth should just go with a 2-7 team, number 1 has been jinxed for the last 3 or 4 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago So VP gets a 7 day ban for genuinely being sick while Nicolai Klindt is allowed to pick and choose his meetings as he sees fit, absolutely absurd! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to have a rule it should be enforced... it's a tiny thing but the flashing light wasn't flashing on the tractor last night at Ippo, it's in the rulebook, so should be enforced... if not, get it out of the rulebook! Light is not flashing on the Edinburgh tractor tonight 🚜🚨 Edited 18 hours ago by IainB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupy Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Think the ref must be blind if he can not see the home rider should of been excluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't exclude Jake Allen for doing the same thing when MPT had to avoid, so at least he's consistent. Personally I'd have gone all 4 back.

Yep all 4 back but no way the away rider should of been excluded bit bumpy coming out of the home straight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
