As does Rugby League

Yet when Toft had his leg taken away he "bailed out"?

I can think of one :-)

I can’t believe anybody would buy a speedway club in the current climate, even Poole

Steady Bob, you’re showing humility Lol

I’ve got to admit I feel for Kings Lynn, pretty much everything that could go wrong did for them yet they only missed out by 4 points. Bet they wish they hadn’t gone for Ellis as guest now!

If the ref had made the right decision on Monday you would have done it, but I guess you don’t really want to hear that

He does talk some crap

Big decision for Allitt in 14, Howarth or Lambert?

He does my head in full stop

Where have I suggested that?

Poole have done well, wiping Holder out of the semi then MPT from the final!

I thought Kings Lynn did well to battle back after an appalling start to last night, they at least have a chance of making the second leg interesting which didn't look likely after 5 heats. I have to agree with the majority on the refereeing decisions, the Jakobsen one was a no-brainer, astonished that the yellow light went on, also thought Harris touched the tapes before Ellis but that was pretty hard to call. Don't understand the fuss about Worrall or Ellis, he made two textbook starts and messed up the rest. At least they gave us something to talk about as the racing was dull in the extreme, I think only really Lambert in heat 15 made a proper pass all night, as those in heats 1 and 2 were due to KL riders foolishly leaving the blue groove. It looks to me that Poole's name is on the trophy, amazing really when they were bottom in July, bet you didn't know that!

Just incompetent then!

Just incompetent then!

Masterful commentary from Pearson

There is no doubt that financially the play offs are a huge boost for speedway and I'm not one of those that would moan if my team finished the season top but then lost out, the rules are clear at the start of the season. The only problem I have is that the whole season often boils down to who is injured at the crucial time of the season. Last year there can be little doubt that Swindon were very lucky with the Wolves injuries and this season both semis were influenced by the same, with the BV/KL tie virtually turning into a non-event. But the Poole/Somerset 2nd leg was pure drama, not much passing but the aggregate scores made for gripping entertainment, and gave Shouty even more reason to get excited lol

I think the problem is the hyperbole from one or two Poole fans just winds others up, quite deliberately in one case. It was a decent comeback by the Pirates but one that I certainly expected them to achieve given the match circumstances. I said on the night that heat 4 was crucial and I stand by that, although of course we will never know. Having said that Bomber certainly did the business in some style to clinch it

priceless lol

You’re very good at missing the point!

You lost Brady because of his own reckless riding which also took out Jack and was the match winner for you. Poole won by 2 points over 30 heats, almost half of them against 4 Rebels & a useless guest.

You’ve managed to make Somerset not having a number 8 more of a factor than Holder being taken out of the meeting!

I agree, always used to be the way but hardly ever happens nowadays. To be honest a NL no 8 would have made no difference to the outcome, heat 4 was the deciding factor as I said during the meeting but that’s speedway, luck was on Poole’s side & Bomber’s final heat was awesome, he can still do it, unfortunately not with any consistency nowadays.

To be fair Brady Kurtz was quite a big factor in it!

And now they’ve run out of riders! Bloody farce
