You were good mates with SCB. I just knew him as someone on here I talked to and saw occassionally at meetings. When he went to Prison I was as shocked as everyone else. On his release  I messaged him to hope he would sort his life out and put it all behind him. Nothing wrong with that.

I believe in people turning their lives around for the better. 

Sounds like the "Andrew Mountbatten Windsor defence " to me, contact after the conviction and sentence ,because he was an "honourable person"

So I am honest and upfront and you are still not happy? I thought long and hard about explaining but should have guessed it would be a pile on regardless.

 

I’ve always detested your posts on here with your pompous, “I know better than everyone” and “Poole can do no wrong” attitude. After reading this though, I not only detest you but am now sickened by you despite your so called “honesty” of your lengthy involvement in the pornographic “industry” and subsequent convictions. I’m so happy to hear that you made enough money from that despicable method to provide you and your daughter with a good life. What about the people’s daughters from whom you benefited ???  Honestly, If I were in your shoes, I would be keeping a low profile instead of continually mouthing off on here like butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth.

Fair play too scunny, i would wager about 1 in 100 would have given em a look in over 2 legs , great effort.

Thanks Trackrat. On the line.

Take your blinkers off you can't see any white line where his tyre is as he is inside it. Never have liked this rule, shouldn't have any wheels over the white line, not part of track IMO

As a neutral I thought last night's meeting was a great advert for speedway. Maybe not much in the way of passing but plenty of incidents, controversy etc. Isn't this what we all want? Provided lots of debate, talking points as this thread has clearly shown. 

Was actually rooting for Scunthorpe and I have to hold my hand up and admit I was one of those who thought they had no chance at the beginning of the season. So well done to them and a fab effort. 

Poole do what Poole do and all credit to them for that. Very professional outfit, large raucous crowd and riders seem to love being in their team.

In reality, Scunthorpe were the losers but the winner in my view was definitely speedway.

reading this thread unfortunately i dont think that is the case.

If his back wheel is ON the line and that makes it ok then the rule needs changing.  Surely no wheels should cross the line? Didnt tracks used to be required to have a raised kerb? The rule should be that both wheels stay on the track. I have never seen anyone put their front wheel that far onto the grass.

[jbell1995]

I'm not sure a back wheel ever needs to be near the inside white line unless it is an act of avoiding danger.

I've no currency in this but I find it disappointing that this is how the Championship title has been decided and the discourse post the meeting is dominating the discussion of what's been a brilliant season in the second tier.

Everyone happy now? Clear as day evidence Cook was not over the line.

You've taken one frame. Check it frame by frame. I've captured it from the rear angle. Are you saying his wheel is on the line here? It certainly doesn't look to be ln imo

It certainly looks like part of the back wheel "could" be on the line, therefore even using Speedways equivalent to VAR the decision wouldn't have been overturned..
