He rode in an individual meeting in Poland last wk and scored 11 points

Apparently its all to do with how long your time buffer is set on recordings according to SKY, especially when it comes to live sporting events and their advice is to record the following programme also with live sport events just incase previous programmes have over ran during the day and you can't manually adjust the time buffer😡

Yeah i said the same earlier on in the thread, stopped at 2hr 33mins just as the riders were about t get pushed off from the pits🤨

Recorded meeting on TNT and had caught up to the last race and the recording cut off just as the riders left the pits🤬

What time is the 1st race 2night, not fussed about watching all t pre match build up.

It could if the weather don't play ball in October end up being even more of a shambles, coz for arguments sake if the Leicester/Ipswich fixtures aint completed for wotever reason who wins the League, Sheffield for finishing top after all fixtures have been completed or Ipswich who sat top at the cut off date, or does Scotty get Max Fricke n Danny King together for rock/paper/scissors🤣

At the end of the day we all know that Poland call the shots regarding letting their contracted riders ride over in the UK, no doubt his Polish side didn't want Emil risking getting injured again and missing important matches considering he was injured at Sheffield last yr, and as long as we keep playing second fiddle to Poland this will always happen simply as that if we like/agree with it or not.

Yeah i don't think its as cut and dried as a lot of people make out, everyone raises their game for the play offs and anything can happen on the night, up until this season Belle Vue had more often then not had big wins at home against Ipswich, so anything can happen if Ipswich do end up top and have to face Belle Vue in the play offs

Plus im sure they showed Liverpool, City and United matches just as many times as they aired Arsenal or Spurs coz you ain't even got them 3 on the list🫣

If ya thinking about Scotty then he may be an option at reserve around Foxhall if Ellis is gonna be out for a while, he started off slowly his first few meetings back but seems to be back on it now.

Jenkins had a mare for Oxford last night away at Poole, 2 falls, a retirement and a third place in front off his team mate so wasn't up to much, haps he's come back to early and ain't fully fit still.

Bit harsh considering it's only his 3rd meeting back after being out injured since the tail end of last season.

Was also talk of Bellago looking for a club in the UK not so long ago

Well young Dan must of picked up a knock last night because he's not riding for Glasgow 2night because of a knee injury.

I wouldn't be sure of anything after their poor showing last night, Harris and Kerr can also score well round Foxhall if their got their gating gloves on

No disrespect to Mountain or Simon Lambert but the must be better options out there to replace Dan, not that he can be replaced the way he was riding b4 his injury tbf, just don't think Hawkins/Louis choice of guests to cover are the best.

Yeah yeah coz u did, you only "forgot" as you put it coz no one with any current Poole connection was riding, if there was you would be over this thread like a rash and posting after every heat, and silly me i "forgot" you'd "forget" as in your eyes any Speedway that doesn't include Poole or an attached rider ain't worth commenting or watching.

Like been said i think Thompson is more of a miss then Doyle the Dan's been riding this season, R/R or a decent guest would hopefully cover Doyles at home but no one who's replaces Dan has scored anything like he would score at Foxhall or away.

I dunno if Mountain is any better or worse then Hume or Lambert tbf, Mountain couldn't get on with Foxhall when he was a Ipi rider yrs back, haps he'll find it easier to get round as the shape of the track has changed a fair bit from back in the day, dunno when he last rode at Foxhall and what his scores were when he did.

What's that got to do with Becker getting injured🤬get back to dribbling over MJJ/Laguta or whoever your lastest w#*k piece is😑

Half the problem is these young riders have to much pressure put on them at a young age, and to much hype is made about them soon as people think their the next big thing, same happened to Parkinson-Blackburn/Bickley to name just 2 off the top of my head over the last few yrs, just hope the same doesn't happen to Cairns/Rushden when they start racing regularly.

No disrespect to Boughen but the ways he's been riding of late it prob makes Lynn stronger whoever they bring in to replace him, yeah if he gates he's fine but if he don't he just shuts off or backs out if things get tight, hope he gets his confidence back and his head straight coz the ability is there as shown when he first started riding, to bigger jump to soon haps or to much pressure, who knows, time will tell.

Like been said all the top riders who want to ride over here already do as Sheffield found out when Woffy got injured, at best you might get Lambert and one or two more after an easy pay check come late in the season for a handful of meetings.

Agree it's best long-term to get fully fit b4 coming back but Ipi will struggle without him until he is back coz R/R clearly isn't the answer as proved against Leicester what with Brennan having a blip in form and no Thompson to take extra rides if needed, as already been said if anything Thompson is probably a bigger miss as the ain't no one really who can replace his scoring potential at reserve.
