The riders & clubs....AND the referee? Surely it should have been one side or the other

Always put the programme after the meeting on record too, then if it over-runs the end of the meeting will be at the start of the next recording. Simples

Its the future, I've seen it. The same thing happened to my sky+ recording. Luckily, having finished swearing, we went onto the live coverage and they were about 4 minutes off the restart so all we missed was the rubbish in the middle. Could have been much worse. **A good way to get around this problem, if you have enough space, is to record the programme AFTER the meeting too. Then the rest of the meeting is at the start of the next recording.**

The 'old school' coverage tonight has made me realise just how lucky we are to have the newer presenters like Charlie every week

It is there to keep Kelvin amused

Sure is, they dont deserve him

But surely if you are named captain of a squad, you should be there to captain them whether riding or not? Hans didnt ride last week but was still there.

Because the whole point in tonight was to give the younger riders experience. Lee understood that and was there in the pits to help in any way they could. Meanwhile, Mr Ego was nowhere to be seen. I used to be a big supporter or Scott in the GPs, before bomber was there, but his attitude to a few things over the past 12months or so has been disgraceful

Well said that bird What people think we would have achieved with Scotty and Lee in tonight i really dont know. We may have had a couple more points, but would still have finished 3rd

Well 3 men can hold their heads very high in the pits tonight in my opinion. Danny King - Awesome. Fully justified his place and definately should be put ahead of Tai and Eddie in selection for the race off. Lee Richardson - Great to see such a positive attitude from someone that was effectively dropped from his national team for tonight. Rob Lyon - Went with the youth, and it definately paid off as far as i'm concerned. We wouldnt have beaten the top 2 anyway, but with expereince like this we stand a much better chance in future years. And i fully believe that this is the guy to lead us into these future years now. As for Scott Nicholls, Mr "captain", Mr "british number 1". Where were YOU for your country tonight?

Talking of Zagar and Injuries, does anyone know what state of fitness he's in after his crash last week? Hoping he's fully recovered, otherwise 6 rides could cause him further problems

Reserves should definately be allowed. Even if they were to put in a rule that the reserve must be under 21 or something, its better than not having a representative in some of the races, through no fault of your own.

Better that than someone so far up his own a**e that he doesnt feel the need to enter the qualifiers in the first place. Bomber and Rico for the 2010 gps

I agree. I dont remember Spandau Ballet first time round, probably because i wasnt alive , but he has been the best so far by a long way

Obviously i'm glad he's through, but not a single race win is a bit of a worry!

I've also heard good things about that youngster riding at reserve for Poole. Any chance young 'fryer' will be going for the qualifiers next season?

Why sadly? Wouldnt you LOVE to see the Zorro in the gps?

Ahhh, but that would go against the unwritten rules of the BSF Good call leaving Scott out imo, but Rico really should have been in. He's clearly getting back to his very best and should definately be in if we scrape past Slovenia into the playoffs in Poland

It would certainly make sense for the British number 1 to be captain wouldnt it

No Nicholls or Rico

I think we may be dreaming for a while longer yet

Well I, along with everyone else it seems, must have seen it differently to you then... And for the record, I did NOT start this thread. The first post on here was a reply to a seperate thread and makes no sense now as the majority of the post relates to the other topic.

It looked brilliant, and didnt cut up like normal. So its a step forward yes. But wouldn't you like to see the occasional pass too? Other than someone riding too wide

Dont you get smart with me Yeh obviously Emil being an immature, insert appropriate word here, was the cause of the incident. But the first physical move was from Scott. Although the first punch was Emil

Sorry, but yes i did watch,it happened right in front of where i was sitting. Im talking about the after race indicent, not the pass as that was hard but fair. Scott was on the outside and Emil had nowhere to turn but into the pit gate as obviously he couldn't brake. Scott rode into the pit gate himself, and made no attempt to go around it. And whilst we're on it, Scott pushed Emil away with force first, so i would say that was the 'first swipe'
