The Third Man

i am not blaming anyone, its just some Ipswich supporters are moaning about Sheffield when it was two guests that got them to the final

or even an Ipswich trophy for winning the semi final using guests

So you think paying Tai and Holder a retainer for a season, hoping they wont be needed will be cheaper, don't forget when Tai and Holder are put into the team, we would need to sign other riders to make up the squad, we have 4 riders out injured, we would have needed an 11 man squad to cover them, then need another four riders to make up the squad back to 11 you think that would be cheaper than what we have done, if it was all teams would do it, none have

But that's the problem, there is no other sport like speedway when it comes to guests, i have asked a couple of times on here this week what the solution to guests is, the only answer i have had is have a squad, we all know that is not possible in British speedway So what is the solution?

Would have been a run off

Just for the record Jack Smith is a Glasgow asset not a Belle Vue one

Hope your right

Football has a 20 plus man squads, would need a lot of injuries before guests were required

Because he wasn't riding against Ipswich's heat leaders, easier as a guest to ride for the home team than the away team, he will score more at Sheffield than at Ipswich

and there is the start of another conspiracy theory

Well that must be the end for Polish speedway if you read some of the comments on here

That's just too sensible for some of the Ipswich fans to understand

and every team runs out of money

So i will ask again, what's the solution for Sheffield, and what should the solution for Ipswich in the semi final have been

i have asked this question in numerous topics, no one has replied with a solution except Sheffield shouldn't be allowed to be in the playoffs because of their injuries no comments from Ipswich supporters about them using two guests in one match against Belle Vue and one guest in the other Perhaps Belle Vue and Wolves should have been seeded to the final as they didn't need to use guests

we should have used Harris at Wolves and last night, he would have equalled Lawsons scores, but then everyone would be up in arms because Harris helped Sheffield and Ipswich qualify for the final, also the eight day rule stops us using Lawson and Mountain next Thursday and would have stopped us using Harris if we had used him last night, suspend that and people would be complaining With three riders injured Sheffield cant win in any situation

Sheffield finished top of the league last season, i didn't complain that we weren't league champions because i knew before the season started that who ever won the playoffs won the league why we have to go through this at the end of every season i don't understand, if you don't like the rules don't enter the competition, if you do enter it, don't complain about the rules at the end

So here we go, Sheffield don't deserve to be in the final because half their team got injured and it rained last night just before Wolves were going to mount a great comeback and win on the night and win on aggregate

Forecast not great, depends whether it rains at the stadium i suppose been dry all day so should take some rain

Of course they are, that's why we told them both to get injured so we could have guests, your not getting the conspiracy theory at all are you

Yep we signed Vissing, got him deliberately injured and then paid him not to ride when he was fit again and possibly paid him not get a winners medal if Glasgow with the play offs Sheffield must be made of money

More conspiracy theory's So Sheffield signed Vissing knowing he would get injured so that he couldn't ride for us and we could have guests its a shame we didn't know how Tai would be injured, we could have warned him to be more careful at Cardiff, then we would still have him riding for us, need a new crystal ball obviously

Of course we wont, bet he doesn't even try for us

Except we weren't because who ever won the play offs won the league, he obviously forgot that Sheffield were top of the league last season i don't mind if Sheffield went down as league winners last season and Belle Vue this, it means i saw Sheffield win the top league for the first time last year, so i don't have to worry about whether we win the play offs this year not

So obviously you don't want us to replace Jack, Tobi and Dan, so that leaves us with four riders, that would have been good for business Wolves have been lucky with injuries, we haven't, so that means we don't deserve to win the play offs, so presumably what we should have done when Jack got injured was withdraw from the league and let Wolves win the play offs because they have been luckier than us with injuries that seems like a good reason to be league champions
