  1. Didn't say earlier my congrats to Kenni for what seems like a good night bar one race. Congrats also to one of my favourites Wolbert who is my type of rider. I love seeing him ride but unfortunately he usually does quite good against us. Both of them will not have done their chances of joining an EL team for next year any harm at all.
  2. Yes no problem with that. On Sunday he was charging hard to the line even though it never looked if would overtake Fisher, who shut off about 10 metres from the finish. Actually in the Kenni overtake at Brough, Kenni flicked his back wheel at him and I criticised him on here for doing so. He had passed the guy and he must have thought it was Gathercole who had pushed him toward the fence on the previous corner. Not necessary from Kenni. It could be in the three instances he felt he was the wronged rider and was just making sure to the other rider that he wouldn't stand for it. He is a fine talent.
  3. By you are stretching that connection a bit eh. But you're a Monarch.
  4. Masters also had an issue with Kenni a couple of weeks ago at Brough after Kenni had overtaken him. Is he really that hotheaded.
  5. Yes, that is Tully's version(see Abbott post) and also Kenni's, the start marshalls but not good enough for cyclone and mates. :rolleyes:
  6. As I would had it been me. I saw your riders come round to where we were standing and also though it was a nice gesture.
  7. Being a Monarch, he is immune to criticism. BTW well done to your team yesterday. To just about put a side a together after the Berwick meeting was good but their performance to reach the finals was staggering.
  8. Education eh. But how come spelling affects eyesight. Only when you say so eh.
  9. Nearly as funny as when Fisher slides off without pressure and gifts us a meeting.
  10. Believe it or not but the start marshall was at the start line and it could be seen from his line in the shale that Tully took line that I described. Shocking that eh, a start marshall saying things like that. In the Scunny incident, Lemon caught the pile of shale that track preparation had not levelled.
  11. Thanks for that Abbott as that was also my source of what happened. Tully went out to the fence and didn't turn at the bend. Kenni got a push and reared into DEEK who unfortunately was going around the outside. Let's not try to rewrite history to please the Monarch fans.
  12. Ha Ha, the usual stalker. Better ask the question why did Larsen enter 'in a wild entry into bend one'. There lies the answer. But thanks for respecting that someone else can have their own opinion.
  13. You really let yourself down with some of your replies. C ya.
  14. You mean when Tully pushed Kenni. The start marshalls even pointed out Tully's line in the shale straight out to the outside. There's always a Monarch version.
  15. If you are going to read my mind, do it correctly. The reason why I don't like Fisher is cos of his track tactics and pits demeanour. Supporting a rider being like that is as you say....pathetic. End of.
  16. BTW To pose a Chrissy question - were you there. Entitled to my own opinion, the same as you. Thanks for the compliment of a 'great' opinion but. It was great to see Fisher put in his place after he shook his left fist after he overtook Lyons out of the 2nd bend in their previous race. Too cocky for his own good and very disrespectful to Lyons. Not Newcastle. The programme, as with the build up to the Pairs, had the Diamonds fair and square favourites. We never boasted of winning either event, preferring to hope and pray that we could do something with the best team we have had for about 8 years. Having expectations to my knowledge is not a crime but your previous post lurched in that direction.
  17. Congratulations to the Brummies for their win yesterday. Pity about my team because once again, as in the Pairs, from being favourites for the events a stupid foam airfilter got sucked into the carb and in both cases cost us our place in the final stages of both meetings. To those who cheered our 3rd placing in the semi, and said we though we were cocky about winning it, time to get a life and look at the real facts. AS JCT71 said earlier, show us any post where we were gloating that we were going to win this event. Some folks on here never stop surprising others and need to take a look at their own teams antics. But for that airfilter, Rene would have won 3 points and we would have been top qualifier with the Brummies. Best race on the day from Rene but sadly no points after that overnight journey from Latvia and the U21'2 semi. Arrived in time after a hectic car journey up from Heathrow. Really pleased for Brummies fans as they epitomise what good sports and company they are. Nice for them to take this trophy after we took the PT off them and unfortunately one of us is going to knock the other one out to make the final of the KO Cup. Looking forward to it. Great to see the event back st Peterborough despite the over charging mentioned by others. Standard of racing was poorish but an Edinburgh fan told me the the track was hit by a monsoon at Saturday teatime and the track had been under water. In saying that they watered it at 1.00pm to dampen it but I think the real mistake was to not put more water early on it so that the track remained wet for all the meeting. Praise their efforts though to continue to work the shale and spray water on it, as it is almost an impossible task to keep a track wet and workable for 28 heats on a warm afternoon. Maybe my and everyone else's comments/criticism is unfair in view of the difficulty of the task. Racing wasn't great but there was some brilliant and fast attempts to overtake without succeeding. Matty Wethers in a couple of races was right up the back of other riders giving them a hard time but never managed to overtake but his efforts need recognising. Fish was the Fish of course. Can be breathtakingly good at times but a clown at other times. Picked up drive yes, but still ensured he was heading straight for the fence to block off Howe's progress around the outside of him. It really isn't relevant that he never touched Howe, who really had a choice of getting off before being hit or enjoying being in a sandwich between the fence and the Fish. David was sensible, the ref was sympathetic and the Fish was just stupid and dangerous. As usual the Monarch fans can see no blame in the Fish and there lies their problem. Nivver wrang. Also nice to see Jason put him in his place. As someone else has said, the Fish also shut off coming upto the line in heat 28 and drifted across leaving the fast finishing Masters nowhere to go once he was caught in the loose shale at the base of the fence. Totally ignorant of the riders own rules of safety of no shutting off and also continueing to maitain your own raceline after finishing a race. It's common sense, it's safety and it is generally agreed code between all riders. Pleased that Masters was OK in the end, after such a naughty accident. Meeting was good value for £15/£10 and the weather made it a pleasant day out. Let's make it a regular back at Peterborough, it's just not the same as standing in the rain at Worky at night. Nice to pick up with known fans from around the country from the shy retiring wee laddies with the proper kilts on from Edinburgh, to SCB and Silver Bee, to Lucifer Sam in drag apparently, and a not to be seen very often Tim Sugar, top TM from defunct Reading. Must do it again, but it has got to be Peterborough.
  18. Thanks for the info about it not being on VirginMedia red button. Got it recorded now on the midnight replay.
  19. Can't get the GP at all. Pressed the red button on both sets but nothing happens. Does this red button lark not work with Virgin Media being the supplier.
  20. Hiya. Jerry, do you ride at Redcar in the training sessions on Saturdays.

  21. Totally agree, Some great racing and passing with a more than a pleasant final result. Saturday of course is a different matter, but we were the best tonight, well done.
  22. 'Higher' horse. Can ya no read. And I would put my experience against both your and najjers put together anyday.
