Doesn’t matter what you believe. You stated a fact that wasn’t a fact (again). For Glasgow to finish second they will likely have to beat Oxford, and win away at Redcar and Scunthorpe. You presume that will happen?

You still haven’t worked out what “in their own hands” means have you? We’ve already explained this isn’t the case, if Oxford win at Glasgow it doesn’t matter what Poole does - they won’t finish top.

Statement below… Now the news is out and the dust has settled slightly I just want to say how excited I am to be joining the Oxford Cheetahs and back with the guy who I spent most of my early days with last year Peter Schroeck training me the ropes. He believed in me this time last year when I turned 15 and put me in my first speedway race with the Charges. A year on and we are back together but this time with me signing as an asset to Oxford! I know the plan to bring me in for this year are future plans for the years to come but I will give everything for the remainder of this season to try and prove my worth. This is a major move for me with so many other offers I had from championship and premiership teams but I am 100 percent confident I have made the right decision for now and the future! My first meeting is this Friday at Oxford v Plymouth Big thanks to Peter & Jamie for giving me this opportunity

Looking like a big win for Oxford and a busy night for Steve Boxall. Chargers full strength, but the Bullets severely weakened - Ben Tigger always seems to struggle at Cowley. Chargers go top with a win. Chargers: 1. Jordan Jenkins, 2. Jacob Clouting, 3. Ryan Kinsley, 4. Jody Scott, 5. Henry Atkins, 6. Luke Killeen, 7. Jason Garrad Bullets: 1. R/R, 2. Jamie Halder, 3. Ben Trigger, 4. Danny Phillips, 5. Steve Boxall, 6. Kieran Douglas, 7. Mason Watson

Line-ups for the Championship Pairs confirmed (although I'm sure there will be some late changes). Disappointing for Oxford fans that there’s no Scott Nicholls, but to be expected I guess with his TV commitments. Lewi Kerr a decent replacement… GLASGOW: Chris Harris & Benjamin Basso POOLE: Richard Lawson & Ben Cook OXFORD: Sam Masters & Lewis Kerr EDINBURGH: Craig Cook & Josh Pickering BIRMINGHAM: Troy Batchelor & Justin Sedgmen BERWICK: Leon Flint & Jye Etheridge SCUNTHORPE: Ryan Douglas & Jake Allen REDCAR: Charles Wright & Danny King PLYMOUTH: Kyle Howarth & Richie Worrall

But you’re talking about the Chargers though, it’s not a like for like comparison. Boughen would have been at the Chargers as well as Killeen, not as a replacement.

Why? I don’t get how Jenkins being withdrawn tonight makes any difference to Boughen/Killeen. Can you explain?

Yeah I m surprised. Mainly because of the way Peter Schroeck had talked about Killeen in the past. Guess to be successful you’ve got to be ruthless in this business at the end of the day.

I think it’s obvious why Oxford have signed Boughen isn’t it? Because they want the best possible team they can get. I’m sure any team with a 2pt rider in their line-up was desperate to sign him. Are Oxford supposed to let the opportunity of him riding for them pass by simply because they are already doing well? This is not a case of a rider underperforming being replaced, it’s a case of an exceptional talent becoming available.

Yep, replaces Killeen. I’m shocked it happened, but delighted.

I don’t think there’s too much harm about getting excited about him on here. If he’s reading forums and letting it go to his head, he probably doesn’t have a great career ahead of him anyway! I honestly think he’s one of the most exciting talents I’ve seen at this age in a long time.

Well, I’d be surprised….but pleasantly surprised.

It would be a very strange move to get rid of Killeen. Schroeck was only going on about how it’s important to get Killeen back in the team as he’s the future of Oxford and how they’ve invested so much into him. Also they would surely have just kept Kinsley in the line-up for the week or so between Killeen returning and Boughen being available. Really can’t see it happening myself.

To replace who? No way they drop Killeen or Atkins, too much invested in them already.

So to avoid spamming the Glasgow thread, who has Ashton Boughen signed for? Doesn’t look like it’s going to be Glasgow now, and can’t see it being Poole or Oxford either after Thompson joined the Pirates and Killeen returned for the Cheetahs.

So where does Boughen fit into Glasgow’s line-up if the rumours are to be believed? Two changes coming on Monday, or has Boughen signed for someone else?

Shovlar? And all the people who have commented on it since?

Are Poole fans unable to understand what “in their own hands” means? It doesn’t matter how unlikely it is.

I said all this after the Poole vs Oxford match. I should sue for plagiarism! Big crowd expected if it goes to court.

I literally said all of that in my previous posts, but thanks for clarifying. That’s why I was asking where the evidence of Morris already taking a test is, as a lot of people seem to be misguided in thinking he did.

Where do you have this evidence of him providing a first sample? I’ve been doing some digging around and can see no reference to anything being provided at all. Not saying it didn’t happen, but there’s been no mention of it in any official statement and it’s not the normal protocol for drug testing. That said, nothing would surprise me when it comes to the SCB.

It’s not his fault, though. The Illuminati are controlling his brain.

Yep, totally agree. Amazed a bigger deal wasn’t made of that, but guess they had insufficient evidence. Not the sort of thing that would be withdrawn lightly.

I‘m not 100% sure of the specifics in the SCB’s case, but other sports have different sentences for different offences. I’m guessing it’s a two-year minimum for failing to provide a test. Whereas it’s more like six months for pain relief, etc. The SCB’s wording is arguably the problem as they should have probably clarified that.

Yep. Lance Armstrong famously couldn’t compete at Ironman after his cycling ban. Think he even went to the courts to try and do it, but it was rightfully thrown out.
