  1. What's the betting that the SCB ban helmet cams next, because they're making incompetent referees look incompetent?
  2. There was a bizarre one at Stoke on Saturday all captured on Luke Priest's helmet cam. Priest in yellow is leading, Jon Armstrong in red tries to go under him, gets it wrong and knocks Priest off. You then see Armstrong come over to Priest and apologise. Priest rides back into the pits (helmet cam still on) to hear that James Cockle in white (who had nothing to do with the crash) is excluded. The Clerk of the Course is on the phone explaining that the rider in white wasn't even involved. The referee changes his mind and excludes Priest....Priest walks out to the start line where people are already shouting at the ref. Think this link works https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152218274987130&set=vb.501802129&type=2&theater
  3. Can't be You-know-who, so they've got a chance then!
  4. You didn't specify speedway titles......so Ward has got one world title http://tinyurl.com/mtl3ltd
  5. Maybe Darcy was having a quiet lemonade and a steak pie, but the Latvian waiter's English wasn't very good and he gave him the Steak & Ale pie by mistake?
  6. Jim Lawrence messed that one up. Krcmar fenced Nilsson and Nilsson gave it back. Let the result be decided on the track
  7. I've long said no one should be allowed to drop below their initial assessed average. If a novice comes in on an assessed 3.00 his average can never drop below 3.00, so if an experienced international comes in on an assessed 7.00 he should never drop below 7.00 no one should ever come in on 7.00, ride a handful of crap matches and then start stealing the job of a 3.00 kid.
  8. When a team is using the Rider Replacement facility they may name a number 8. The Number 8 can take any or all of the R/R rides. So a minimum of no rides, and a maximum of 4 rides.
  9. November 12 should be made a national holiday in celebration of British Speedway.
  10. Yes, but it's nice of the OP to come along and show that there's always someone more mental than us!
  11. At least we know that Darcy has learnt that "stop" means "stop"
  12. And why has Kelvin renamed the pits as the "paddock"? I've looked everywhere and can't see any horses.
  13. Why does NIgel Pearson change people's names? He always calls Kildemand "Killerman" and now he's suddenly changes Manzares' name to "Manzer-ez" It's totally confused Kelvin who was doing OK but has now decided to change to "Manz-aireez" I feel the meeting has gone downhill since the sacking of the traffic cone with a broom handle stuck in it. I'd have stuck a paper plate to the top of the broom handle and drawn a face on it. Would have looked much more professional. P.s. Does anyone know, is Greg Hancock really old? And is Covatti looking for a British league team place?
  14. Disgusting. The law is a ass. Thinks....If you're already a quarter of a million down, it wouldn't add much to the bill to hire a hitman.
  15. The quote is "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and the highest form of intelligence" It gets attributed to Oscar Wilde, but the true source of the quote is not certain.
  16. Being a comedian like Eric Morecambe, Rosco has pretty much got the right 5 riders.... but not necessarily in the right order. Woffinden and Cook should have been automatic picks, and so should Harris who always seems to pull his tripe out for the SWC even when off form. I'd have gone with King as the fourth rider ahead of Barker, Stead, and the rest....reserve berth between Barker and Stead. Although Rosco has got Cook and Stead the wrong way round it won't make a lot of difference, as Cook, King, Stead, Barker, Bridger etc are all much of a muchness, and all are equally likely to either shine or go missing without any predictability. If I was in charge of the BSPA and the GB team. I'd have added Howarth, Lambert, Garrity and Blackbird to the 10 man squad and run a Team GB v Team GB training match at King's Lynn within the fortnight before the World Cup starts. Teams of Woffinden, Cook, Worrall, Bridger, Kerr, Lambert, Garrity against Harris, King, Stead, Barker, Lawson, Howarth, Blackbird would allow everyone to feel a part of the GB team and see who looks best on the King's Lynn track.
  17. The Kent site says Cradley are without Clegg and Perry who are unavailable, but doesn't mention that they are also presumably without Matt Williamson It also says Kent are at full strength, but actually they're missing Freemantle.
  18. As in perfect timing that an American won the first one to be shown.
  19. If you checked the day you'd know July 14th is tomorrow......And you'd be correct, tomorrow is the day when Cardiff 2015 is being announced
