Yes it's infuriating when that happens against you , but you cant award a race after two bends . Ricky becoming acquainted with the dark arts since moving from Worky to the forces of darkness . A word for young Jack Smith , he's struggled to find his feet at Championship level , but his third place when beating Pickering turned out to be crucial . I have learned many moons ago not to be optimistic when following my team to Armadale , so any result there is welcomed with open arms . How do you address it ? Only the rider himself knows if he's at it , he can easily claim he couldn't move the bike or his foot was stuck etc

You forgot to mention Wells staying down to get the race stopped in heat 13 when we gated on a 5-1 , and as usual when these things happen , it becomes a 3-3 in the rerun , so that negates some of the points Edinburgh lost . But it was an enthralling encounter , with great performances on both sides . Big crowd on a chilly night , but both sets of fans seemed relatively happy in the bar afterwards . A pleasant beer was enjoyed in the company of Davy H and Alan from the Emmerdales . A better result for us rather than them , but I can't see either of our two clubs not being involved in the end of season play offs

So after a week's absence from Ashfield , we're back against the Bears . We're still without Nike and Redcar might have one or two injury worries of their own . Ellis Perks took a knock at Poole's bumpy track the other night , and at Somerset last Friday I saw Charles Wright taking a nasty looking tumble which caused him to miss the return fixture at Wolves on Monday . Will still be tricky though , Redcar are no longer the whipping boys and have the colourful pair of Garrity and Barker leading their attack . And it's a welcome return for Coty Garcia too . So let the rain stay away , let the track offer spectacular racing , let the temperature be warm and let the beer be cold . An entertaining home win as well please .

Anyway , who's joining me on the 3rd bend tomorrow night ? Yes Armadale's track isn't my cup of tea , but it's still speedway and my team is there . Weatherwoman said there was to be a change to the recent good spell of weather , so hope any rain stays well away from the 'dale tomorrow . And I see it's Speedway Star's match of the week , maybe because they don't seem to do much racing in the top flight . Teams having 3 and 4 weeks between home meetings .

Wasn't too many seasons ago that Steve Worrall left Newcastle and dropped into the 3rd tier with Stoke ( I think ) to regain his confidence . Didn't do Steve any harm , hopefully Liam benefits the same way .

Maybe Wroclaw is kebab free

This is true

Bar takings down a bit this week

It's a shame though , during Workington's recent visit to Glasgow he looked much better than he had on any occasion i'd saw him ride in the last couple of years .

No

No it just disguises things a wee bit at this stage

I'm sure they are , the Chuckle brothers are well versed in such matters

Yes , you'll need to wangle that one as long as humanly possible

Well until Friday anyway

Yes we are in awe of your greatness

But Berwick aren't doing anything underhand , they're just adjusting things while they can , before Gappmaier's average changes .

You're welcome , wont be for much longer though

If Gappmaier hasn't raced the necessary meetings to acquire a new average , then it makes perfect sense to make this move before he does . Everyone else uses or bends loopholes in the rules to get what they want , so I don't see what Berwick are doing wrong . If dodgy burgers at Berlin airport can start you on an assessed 7 the following year , then the all-Austrian Morris dancing best pairs is a legitimate miss .

Certainly not , but finishing in front of Edinburgh almost means you're there or thereabouts . Nothing to do with obsessions , just recent history dictating .

Seems your wish has been granted tonight

Berwick wouldn't catch you even if they got double points for having track covers

And leagues aint won in May , we're not even at the tickly bit yet .

Occasionally

Since there are only two of us , I don't understand your comment

Not recently as it turned out , 57 seven points of sheer happiness , but yes Friday is another day
