Think it is more of the age maybe? Not sure you can go around trying to punch 16 yr olds.

Although trying to punch someone as they ride past is pretty dumb in the first place. 

Pretty dumb from both riders.

I was standing on first bend and it looked like Cooper kicked Jye when the first crash happened.

Cannot see how Jye could be excluded in the re run as the red lights were on fairly quickly when him and Cooper collided again ( was possibly looking at an all 4 re run).

He didn’t try and punch him he slapped his shoulder …. Words straight from Rushen no less … the boy took it well

Poole fans going way over the top as usual

Well what a good night it's been 😃 out raising money for the Ben fund with a stoney and nick talk in at worky . Watching BSN showing Berwick well and truly beating the pilots. Then reading all the sob stories on here about how badly done for are the pilots. Why can't the Poole fans admit they were well beaten by a better team over 2 legs 😜🤔

What a great team effort from the Bandits everyone contributed,I thought with the team Poole put out we had a great chance, but didn't expect that scoreline, just to complete the weekend we need to sign Jordan up and release Lasse

Well done to Berwick. So many teams have already conceded everything to Poole this year - at least one did it before the season had started with their team line up - but the Borders’ fellas weren’t going to lie down. 
Poole are still the dominant team as is obvious from the snidey remarks from the usual suspects and haters, but Berwick never know when they’re beaten. It’s now up to the others to take up the challenge and put some oomph into the season. Will Poole still continue to dominate? Probably. But at least the won’t have it all their own way.

Well done to Berwick on a great all round team performance, they were much better than us and seemed to want it more, we were a little unlucky home and away with refereeing decisions going against us but overall we had no answers to a very good Berwick team. Good luck to them and hope they win the cup.

Think we need to calm down a tad, we were outridden in both legs and we can rue this and that but at the end of the day with low scoring reserves and heat leaders not performing we aren’t going to win. Berwick fully deserved the result and I have already sent my congrats, cooper was unlucky yes but would it have changed the outcome I don’t think so. Riders have to earn a living so riding in other leagues and countries is a given. We regroup and move on to the next match.

non appearing reserve

heat leader not showing

Well done to The Bandits , Enjoyable meeting in tough dusty conditions. Great team performance with everyone chipping in, I thought Poole as team were pretty disappointing I’d expected more from them, as a guest I’d have expected Lambert to pick up more points especially at reserve but sometimes that’s the way things go, Lawson is usually pretty decent but there wasn’t a lot of support for him and Kerr . The Rushen / Etheridge incident looked completely different from sitting in the stand to seeing the footage on tv later from sitting in my seat in the stands the Poole rider looked to be at fault seeing the clip I’m not sure , anyways it’s a final to look forward too and it’s been a while since we’ve been able to say that.

Always good to hear about Poole missing out on trophies.

GGGGOOOOOOOODDDD Team Berwick, Good Team. Pilots took one hell of a beating.

Some encouraging signs for Poole?...;)

And in a Semi Final of the Knockout Cup too...

You would think they would at least try when they get to this stage to give it some kind of respect.. 

Anyhow, good luck to both teams in the final, hopefully both can run with their own riders and give UK Speedway a Cup Final worthy of the name... 

It would be great to see Plymouth absolutely rammed full, which I think it could well be....

Why on earth is Bowes still a Poole rider? Signs Middleditch has lost his mind now knocking on?

Back in the day he would of been booted out a long time ago. 
 

Seems Cook can't be bothered this season and Lawson hasn't been his dominant self, infact he hasnt since the whispers of fuel tank testing started circulating. 
 

Getting hammered by that many by Berwick is embarrassing .

You'd rather Will Cairns give up the opportunity to go on to be a potential world champion then? 

Congratulations to Berwick best team won.

Having watched the rushen v etheridge incident back, I think Etheridge was at fault.  He went chasing rushen’s back wheel, who was ahead.  Rushen didn’t really move off the line.

I thought Rushen was at fault for the Northampton pile up but not here.

I think its the case with new/possible replacement riders being rarer than hen's teeth these days they are stronger continuing with rider replacement and keeping him on the sidelines for as long as possible, same situation at Lynn with Castanga.

Oh for the days when you could take a chance on an overseas rider who quickly turned into a gem like Chris Holder and Jimmy Nilson etc.

Maybe if something comes of this Ipswich, Polish club link up some under 24's might be sent the UK's way with any luck.

100% yes 👍

SGP 2 no rounds held in the UK, not even televised... and he stands little chance of winning it, could easily have won the KO Cup had the Part Time Pirates been full time committed.

Why as a so called Dorset Pirate would you care what he does individually?
