Berwick v Poole 27/06/26 KO Cup Semi- Final 2nd Leg 7-00pm

[Odds On]

Hard riding?..yes.....dirty riding?...not in a million years!

Some of us who have seen more sunsets than we would like to admit, back in the day you would get 3 or 4 instances like this in one meeting, however if there was instance of dirty riding, it would certainly kick off either on the track or in the pits, or the victim would have a notepad in the tool box with the culprits name on it...then in twelve months time fans would think "jeez that was a bit uncalled for".

Agree,just a couple of racing incidents nothing out of the ordinary in many meetings.

Good to see Shovlar showing us the video of Rushen kicking out …. He made as much contact with Jye as Jye did when he ‘assaulted’ Rushen ….the way Poole fans are speaking (ban for Jye….. assaulting a minor) really does show a lack of understanding totally

Just in case you have forgotten, it's Northampton v Ipswich tonight, so get back over on that thread

Rushen had just lost control. If I had been the ref, I would have excluded Rushen then. As for him being a 'minor', he is a big tall young man. He is a future champion, but he needs to calm down a touch. 

In my opinion I think that’s why he excluded him from the second rerun by the ref

Here’s the first running of heat ten last night. Cooper Rushen doesn’t kick Etheridge at all, just outgated him and Etheridge falls. All four back fair decision.

 

You have provided video evidence of him kicking Jye and then stated he doesn’t? Are you trying to gaslight everyone?

Here’s my evidence of gaslight.

Gavan commenting on a Poole thread, quel surprise Rodney! Of course anyone is welcome to comment on any thread but he does love Poole slating.

I think he is trying to highlight that Rushen did move his leg as many do but his leg didn't make contact with Jye's bike, the fall can about because Rushen's bike made contact with Jye's.

IainB, British Speedway needs our youngsters to gain experience from the best in the world and I for one have no problem with them wanting to do just this. We need more backup to Bewley and Lambert and riding just in our domestic league isn’t enough. Tom Brennan and Dan Thompson are getting there but it takes time and effort and I fully support any British rider wanting to go down this route.

British Speedway does not need our youngsters to gain experience from the best in the world, especially at Will Cairns level.

We have a gold medal winning GB Team, that rarely rides in the UK, we have a recent world number 2, and a real contender this year for the title itself before Dan Bewley's accident? and a fairly recent 3 x World Champion, yet the sport has continued to sink lower and lower in this country. 

We need our riders to be turning up and riding for their contracted teams before chasing personal glory.

Assuming you're a Pirate, I don't know why you're so happy to see your club, and cup holders, crash out of the competition thanks to no shows from some of the team members 🤷‍♂️

[Deltalima]

We will just have to agree to disagree on the merits of our British riders wanting to improve themselves. Of course I am not happy with Poole losing but we were beaten by the better team over the two legs.
