Sounds a nail biting match tonight. Any reason given for Cookie not out in heat 15?

Need more than Josh to be fit. Want Lawson gone.

Don’t know what could have been said on the night as story had spread round stadium before it was announced tha,t Kyle Howarth wasn’t riding. All water under bridge; Kyle Howarth now free to race and resume his career and Edinburgh 3 league points down. Here’s hoping team changes may produce a win away from home to get our season back on track. Maybe this serves as a wake up call to all riders to check what medication they use or are prescribed.

Think Bears would have had to take a 20 point lead. Good spirited performance from them tonight.

You do talk sense .............. at times.

With seven in your team you sure would Gaz.

Should be when a club is denied using a programmed rider. I support Edinburgh BUT am not blinkered. Would have said the same no matter Team. Left Edinburgh completely disadvantaged

Referee’s mistake is not Edinburgh’s fault. They never wanted R/R for Josh that’s why they hired Kyle. Why would you want R/R which would mean tracking Speedy Lawson?

Tone out of order. Rory Schlein travelled up to Edinburgh for photographer Ron’s funeral today. Says a lot about the guy.

Only people losers here are Edinburgh. Denied the services of a rider. This home defeat could cost us at end of season. Couldnt make it up. Howarth would surely have scored more than four. Should be re-run.

Who I think and indeed should go are no doubt different who will be going.

Who is going?

Fully exspected some team changes today. ☹️

Kyle Bickley along with Cookie have been stand outs for Glasgow this season. Yes he got away with a tape infringement on Friday. Up to referee to call out. Don’t understand anyone rising to his bait, a young kid that should probably know better. Don’t give him the satisfaction of a response. You play into hands of folk like that. What goes around comes around. We at Edinburgh are having a torrid time of it with injuries and to top it off Dr Howarth and his Medics. Hopefully tide will turn soon for us albeit with some desired team changes.

ALL six monarchs ? I will give you 5

Night Nurse now a slimming agent Gaz?

Don’t have Face ache so do tell.

If that is right I stand corrected but there is someone quoting ruling on Monarchs thread which suggests differently. As Howarth was programmed rider and deemed to have failed test; his team was not entitled to R/R. They had to ride with 6 riders.

Agree but you can replace him. We were left high and dry by his stupidity last night. Referee was wrong to let us ride rider replacement. His actions could cost us at the end of the season.

Thought our boys put up a spirited performance, well six of them did. Shows how low our ambitions currently are when I am satisfied scoring 35 points at Glasgow. Thanks to Nathan Greaves for his efforts. Would hope that is the last time we see Lawson in an Edinburgh race jacket.

What riders would you ditch to strengthen the team?

And for the team he let down big time on the night.

Thanks for the kind words Dot about hospitality and wishing us well in the future at home. I don’t think we will improve much unless we jettison our number 6. For someone with his experience to pull out another bike from a van without having been examined is totally shocking. Should have been sent packing weeks ago. I said before Glasgow can only beat what’s in front of them. Referee unusually for him was a bit lax but that is not fault of the opposition. I coach sport and think fans sometimes need to look at situations with a more non biased and balanced view. Must be hard for management to get beat by your nearest and dearest in such circumstances but they need to act and address how to take team forward.

Quite a glib comment at the end by the promoter. Short term this has probably cost Edinburgh a home victory. Don’t see a Monarchs away victory coming soon but if it did this home defeat could come back to haunt them at the end of the season. Can’t remember a season when everything has seen to have gone wrong for us. Injuries, off form riders and Drug Gate. ☹️
