cowboy cookie returns?

. I thought when I said his team it would be clear I meant Sheffield as the interview was after a Sheffield match in which he was riding for Sheffield. I thought it would be easy to understand what I meant by his team. just to make it 100% clear I wasn’t referring to kings Lynn but to the team Lambert was representing Sheffield. Peeing off the clubs major sponsor I was referring to Guy Nicholls tweet or X post which ever you prefer, where Mr Nicholls made it clear he wasn’t happy with Lamberts interview. Nicholls sponsors both Ipswich & Sheffield & Lambert made the comments while wearing a Nicholls sponsored Sheffield race jacket. Hopefully that’s cleared up any confusion that I might be referring to Kings Lynn regarding an interview after a Ipswich Sheffield meeting.

I’ve just watched the match back on Discovery having been at Foxhall last night. what’s all the fuss about the ref? The rules state an unsatisfactory start including first bend bunching than it’s all 4 back. I think not so ruthless is getting confused with GP regulations as they differ to that of the uk. Not sure about the regs in Poland. I’ve just had to watch his interview again, so he slagged of a track where he’d set the 5th fastest time of the season, appeared to smear some of his fellow riders while also appearing to try & influence the referee…..top bloke! when you thought it couldn’t get any worse he also appears to have pissed off his clubs major backer. I’d love a team player like him in my team!!! The only thing that could have made it any better was to have interviewed Holder!

Not the sharpest tool but a complete tool none the less.

I can’t wait for Thursday, after all the moaning about Foxhall & the lack of spectacle. I’m looking forward some super close fast racing with passing galore on a excellently prepared Sheffield track, I just hope it’s not a super slick gaters paradise!

All this slagging off uk tracks, just to put it in to context Lambert won heat 5 last night with the fastest time of the night, which I think I read elsewhere on here is the 5th fastest time of the season. So the track can’t have been that bad. His issue is he can’t hack not only being beaten but beaten by a mile by two superb top class riders. The other point is look at all the horrendous injuries that have occurred on the supposed super safe well prepared Polish tracks over the years. The real issue is to be successful in the uk you need to have some real skill & throttle control.

I wonder what Lambert’s beef was last night. Was it the track or the fact he got out rode in four of his heats? If the track was that bad he didn’t seem to concerned in heat 5 when he won with the quickest time of the night. Just seems a sore loser with a complete lack of sportsmanship just like Holder who couldn’t be arsed to collect his runners up medal in the cup final.

if you look closely you can see Holder out in front…..taken about the time he was psyched out of the meeting.

More of a number 2 isn’t he

Wow Lambert sure is a sore loser!! Been completely out classed by two of the best then spits his dummy out on national tv. also the only rider all night who didn’t acknowledge the rider who beat him with the custom hand shake down the back straight after the race. What a total tool!

That’s brilliant. it’s the exact same point I made on the Belle Vue Ipswich play off post & was shouted down the masses who knew better. The last sentence is pure gold

Just another ridiculous speedway situation. A rider who’s team has qualified for the play offs cannot guest for another team in the playoffs, so that the sport doesn’t look like Micky mouse when in theory the biggest tv audience will be watching. However a rider from a team that hasn’t qualified for the play offs can ride for more than one team in the playoffs. The situation with Harris is madness!! Harris plays a huge part in Ipswich qualifying for the final & will now ride against them. It would have made the sport look better to suspend the 8 day rule & allow Lawson to ride in the final at least it would have provided some consistency & any newbies watching wouldn’t be exposed to the crazy world of uk speedway.

Agree Rew at reserve with Emil & Jason returning. Beyond that I don’t really know. I’ve been critical of king this season however can’t really fault him over the last month. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him back although I make Doyle the skipper

Luke Becker anyone for 24?

The biggest question is around who rides for the Sheffield select side. Regardless of if the averages allow it or not Sheffield should keep in Lawson along Lambert for continuity reasons. If Harris rides it completely devalues & makes the sports highlight of the season a farce. I think this will be closer than the cup final but I think Ipswich will have enough over 2 legs to complete the job. The key riders are Riss for Ipswich & Holder for Sheffield.

We’ll almost 24 hours later & still buzzing from that match. Super pleased my team made it through what a cracking heat 15!! hats off to both teams certainly put it all on the line

Totally agree the uk isn’t easy. Full of riders who while not big names but are very capable on these shores. Then throw in the mixture of track types it can certainly sort the men from the boys!

Belle Vue are very lucky to have got the council to agree to that development & help pay for it, so hats off but unless things change dramatically it’s a one off sadly. I do get peed off with the were better than you are especially after years of awful Kirky lane track….some do have short memories

I think it was because gate 3 had gone slick & was wasn’t working, so if any one could have made it work it was Emil.

If Tai rides for Wrocław on Sunday but then doesn’t ride on Monday he must get a 28 day ban for withholding his services. The question is though could Tai guest for himself on Thursday?

If the other side don’t want to race not much you can do about that. It was one of those nights when the atmosphere in the stadium made up for the lack of passing

It’s not clear rule bending there were enough loop holes when I read the regulations on Sunday when I was making the case for Ipswich to use Lambert, also errors on the official team sheets on the scb all made it very easy in my opinion to use him. I said on Sunday if the regulations were put to the test Lambert would end up riding

I spent most of last Sunday on here saying if it was tested Lambert could rider, all the no he can’t your wrong read the rules comments……all you need was to spot the loop hole which I found Sunday morning when making the case for Ipswich to use him.

I suggest that it is….one of the reasons for the decline in attendance & lack of credibility the sport has. Also doesn’t allow for merchandise to be exploited it’s one thing to lose you favourite rider because he gets transferred but see them turn up & ride for your rivals is something else. Anyway that my thoughts but I genuinely wish you guys all the best to either find a new venue or stay at the showground. I’ve put my reasons to keep the speedway at the showground on the council’s planning feedback area. Hopefully you find a way to carry on & speedway finds a way to prosper & gain credibility. Last Thursday at Foxhall demonstrated how it could be in the uk!

I was at Foxhall today & can confirm that there is damage to the pit gate, caused by a champagne cork hitting it last Thursday. Parts due to arrive 8am Friday morning

Chris Holder hates most places these days
