Kill The Joker

I'm definitely in the "kill the joker" corner. I would compromise allowing it if 10 points behind but definitely not 6 -

Gr8scot replied to cyclone's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
More importantly, best wishes to the folks injured on the M6. Sounds nasty and seems like the dreaded M6 claimed a few others too yesterday with 1 fatality in another crash earlier in the day -

Edinburgh V Redcar (pl) 19/6/15 @ 7.30pm
Gr8scot replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Race times tell a different story from the wee Lasse too ..... Ht 1 - 56, ht 11 - 56.2, ht 15 - 57.1 -
Superb speedway yesterday from the riders of both teams on a lovely day. I always enjoy a trip to meet the lovely folks at Scunny at a great stadium. The track staff produced a track that supported loads of passing especially high and wide which is gr8 to watch. A Monarchs win was just the job but the return of Wayne "ROCKY" Carter was the icing on the cake...... Well done m8. Also nice to meet up and chat with Gary Stead Alex Davies gets the most exciting (but scary) rider award from me and I've no idea how he and Theo stayed on their bikes in their ht 15 "wall of death" act. Poor Carrie Pijper almost went into labour!!! I'm so glad Cookie held back from the burst round the outside or it would've been messy

Gr8scot replied to topaz325's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
In all fairness, there was a brief announcement when the Music was switched off to say why it had been switched off It is sad to see the crowds continually dwindling tho' when you think back to when they re-opened...... Me too, Such a simple tumble Take care lad and get well soon -
Belle Vue Aces Vs Kings Lynn Stars 27.4.2015

Brilliant night Cookie, well done lad. A good win for Belle Vue but disappointed with Kings Lynn Robert Lambert..... Great to watch and talks well too for a young-un..... Wet track...... What wet track? -

Best wishes to Rusty and get well soon lad..... one of the good guys!!! Congratulations to Worky on a well deserved win but where have all the supporters gone? -
Well done to all concerned, very emotional

Ok, I'll play your game, I never defended anyone's gestures and I'm not one of those who made them. I merely pointed out that we would never applaud Nick Morris. I'm not on the defensive as I personally, have nothing to defend..... Sorry to disappoint. I don't condone the gestures but they were well earned by Mr Morris

Fair point, and no complaints with the exclusion, rules are rules..... But, how is he supposed to relay the information to the pits? If he got off the bike and ran up and down the hill in full gear he'd be out of time anyway. For those who haven't sampled the excellent facilities at Ashfield but are old, like me, it is like the old Bradford pits..... Cracking idea but the mechanics have to be fit (and remember to put the fuel cap on). These things happen but "lessons have been learned"

Gees, you can't half exaggerate!!!! Anyway, congratulations to the 2015 Tiggers on todays well deserved win. Some good racing, especially Aaron's tremendous effort to pass Kevin (shame about his bike) No complaints about the track, the dust or Justin having a rare off-day but get yer start gate fixed...... Now..... One thing I am going to say about Cookie and all the griping he gets on here..... Apart from something I couldn't print for fear of my Ma finding out!!!!!! There isn't one team that wouldn't like to have him ........ If you're honest!!!! BUT ..... Tough because we love him and we're more than happy to keep him

Berwick V Edinburgh Lc Saturday, April 11
Gr8scot replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
It saddens me to hear Berwick fans complaining like this so early in the season. I love the set up at Berwick where spectators get close to the track but when you get riders well capable of racing and passing yet witness them busting a gut to do anything when they miss the gate, it's painful. I feel for the riders too as it reflects badly on them and does nothing for their confidence. I don't know what the answer is ..... the outside of bend 2 looked pretty ploughed up before start time last night but the inside was rock solid (I didn't look anywhere else). Maybe the riders and track staff need put their heads together? The Anderson's are good people who want Berwick speedway to flourish and I believe your team is competitive. Early injuries are really bad luck. Keep the faith folks and use it or lose it...... Cookie was 1st class and I don't think he was in the mood to let anyone rain on his parade -
Wolves Vs Belle Vue Tues 7th April
Gr8scot replied to lino wolf's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
And Craig scored paid 7 too so on a 6.21 average, he's done his job too -
If you read our Chatzone, you will see that most of us so called "smugs" don't like the tac rule either but it is still there to be used and yes, we needed it tonight and thanks to Cookie and Sam who rode well to take maximum advantage. No excuses for tonight..... Somerset beat us fair and square. Roll on tomorrow..... The league is not decided on just 1 (or even 2 or 3) performances. Our results over the season are why we are in the playoff's. Win or lose tomorrow, we will remain very proud of what our team has achieved
