Given there are no Scottish riders - I very much doubt it

To stay on the infield (a safe place) and wave their flag. Do you think stepping in front of a moving motorcycle without brakes is a smart thing to do?

It would be if cars didn’t have any brakes!!

His job is NOT to wave a red flag on the track or walk in front of a rider under power!

Those punishments too severe IMHO

And that stupid man with the red flag who started it all?

Can I just point out that riders going through the card every week and ending up with a high average usually puts them out of a job the following season.

Answers above

From what has been reported and seeing the recording for myself - I genuinely cannot see why people are calling for Cook to be banned! If introductions are still being done then no one should be on a bike. They are on a bike so the flag marshall should not be on the track and certainly not deliberately side stepping in front of a bike with no brakes - everything that happened after that was as a result of that! In my opinion Cook was provoked and he should have walked away but it was probably difficult with a mob around him. Let’s see what happens next with the BSPA/SCB - if anything. Seems to be a lot of Cook haters speaking out though!

Except the cutout doesn’t always work - Nick Morris had this issue a few years ago when his bike went into the fence and the engine just kept revving

What was the man with the red flag doing in the middle of the track? It looks like the rider is going to go past the flag man (at slow speed) but the man decides to move to his left to block the rider cauSing the rider to ride into him. In reaction to that, the rider tries to head butt him - which is clearly not an acceptable reaction but the flag man was definitely in the wrong but that doesn’t excuse the head butt.

Innocent until proven guilty!

Again - you have him “convicted” having not witnessed anything yourself

You seem to be relishing at the prospect of a ban - having raised the subject on at least 3 threads that I’ve looked at

He was representing Glasgow at the time not KL. Were you at the Eastbourne meeting? Yet you have decided he is guilty

If the cap fits

BWD our for the rest of the season - that’s a real shame for him and Peterborough

You asked who wouldn’t want to ride for BV at the NSS and I answered you! I would be surprised if either of NKI or HOLDER would be interested so probably need to lower your sights.

I would say that Scott Nicholls wouldn’t want to ride for BV at the NSS

I would have wanted BWD back for the Robins

I don’t agree with the asset system myself. The CL could always pay out the money to buy their “contracts” from the PL. Also bear in mind that there aren’t enough riders available to have the same number of clubs in one combined league - so if the leagues were combined - who would survive? Then there wouldn’t need to be any legal challenge as all in the same league. As I said, British speedway is on its knees and needs co-operation moving forward - not the “I’m alright Jack” attitude that usually emanates from Dorset way

That’s all well and good - so you wouldn’t mind if PL assets weren’t permitted to ride in the CL? The sport is on its knees - in all leagues!

Looks like Frenchie has a broken collarbone from the SEC - so probably rules him out from any team changes at BV.

And in the meantime short change the paying public

We all know that was a bit optimistic - if unrealistic. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
