  1. 2016, some good meetings, some bad meetings, shouty man Pearson and Kelvin will get very excited on occasion, and then Poole will win go and win it again........ Plus ca change
  2. As always this time of year and (yes) still bitter 9 years on, may the best team win and may the tactical joker fiasco never again decide who lifts the crown.
  3. Well done Denmark, best team won. Nice that Iversen has just realised how unfair the joker rule is - don 't remember him being so concerned about it in 2006 when Peterborough stole the final from Reading though.
  4. Clearly not enough of us, or we'd still have a speedway team to support.
  5. In truth the joker(s) has never once revived a one sided speedway meeting, but has been used on numerous occasions to allow almost evenly matched teams to produce a completely unjust result, often in critical matches. Yesterday was a clear example of this, with the most blatant of course being in 2006. All well within the rules, and I suppose it can be fairly said that, like Reading three years ago, Jason Crump rode honestly and fairly to win his heat, and in doing so naively played right into the opponent's hands.
  6. But was this the heat when Crump rode like an honorary Swede though, in shepherding Lindback home for the win? (possibly a tactical sub for Hansy, who usually fulfils that role) Then to be absolutely fair he did *perhaps* go to the British pits and wish us good luck, which was nice , if about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
  7. To be honest none of the team, with possible exception of Rico (who had the misfortune to come up against the only Aussie who was still trying) did well enough in the fifth, and crucial, round of heats. King got done up like a kipper by AJ otherwise he might have got 2 vital points, however after his excellent effort at peterborough was fully entitled to get his chance tonight, and very unfair to label either him or Bridger as wasters....
  8. With Nigel Shouty Man Pearson and Kelvin Tell You What Tatum I don't think she has anything to apologise for to be honest.
  9. Of course there should be reserves but straight like for like replacement after track injury only (sorry once meeting started no Walacekesque headaches brought on by two last places allowed).
  10. The current situation is ridiculous, although caused by Poland abusing the previous rule a couple of season's back. Made even worse by the tactical joker rule. Anyone watching speedway for first time and seeing the combination of these two rules would almost certainly write the sport off as mickey mouse. That said I expect Russia would have won anyway. p.s. does anyone in the world NOT know how old Emil is by now ??????????????
  11. Thought the referee is always right, at least wasn't that Nicki's position when he got away with it in Cardiff last year?
  12. And young Emil will continue to be nineteen years old for the foreseeable future.
  13. I hear that Millard and Paul Hardcastle are making a record. N-N-N-N Nineteen.
  14. TRACK: Plough Lane, Wimbledon (should still be the shining beacon of London, and British, speedway) 1. Ronnie Moore 2. Jim Tebby 3. Tommy Jansson 4. Pete Murray 5. Trevor Hedge 6. Graeme Stapleton 7 Neil Cameron opposition Reading Racers 1. Anders Michanek 2. Mick Bell 3. Dag Lovaas 4. Geoff Curtis 5. Bernie Leigh 6. Dickie May 7. Graeme Smith Team Manager : Cyril Maidment Result a 40-38 win for the Dons with a classic Tommy Jansson last bend pass in heat 13. RACE NIGHT: Thursday MARCH OUT MUSIC: Don't know the name, but the one they used to play at ABC Saturday morning Pictures Oh, and it's 1972, and I'm 16 again, carefree and with hair.
  15. Confidently predict 1. Denmark 2. Sweden 3. Australia 4. Poland I prefer Sweden over Australia purely based on Denmark and Sweden's history of team riding (plus manufactured draws in the finals of football world and euro cups) to help each other out when needed.
