Only a small percentage of crashes result in any kind of serious injury, like I said there's no need to linger on it if it does appear more serious just stay on it for few seconds until it's clear a rider is in trouble or not, they've missed a few argey bargey incidents over the years for cutting away too soon. It'd also be useful if BSN could show an updated league table after the match, especially last night with 6 teams in action. Thought it was a pretty decent match tonight with some good racing for Armadale, happy to see Simon Lambert get in the points.

Yeah, I get that regarding Nicholls... the Polish tv shows the aftermath of a crash and only cut away if it looks serious. Don't know why TNT also cut away unless it's something to do with ofcom rules in the UK 🤷‍♂️

Why though? When you're at a meeting you don't start looking into the distance in the opposite direction, you want to see if the rider(s) are okay or maybe even watch some handbags unfold. I can understand cutting away if it becomes obvious that a rider is in distress, nobody wants to see that, but BSN instantly cut away every time a rider goes down and there's no need for it, they're quite happy to show Scott Nicholls season ending crash in their opening credits.

You mean the Castagna corridor? 😂

He didn't exclude Jake Allen for doing the same thing when MPT had to avoid, so at least he's consistent. Personally I'd have gone all 4 back.

... as usual, the BSN camera wanders off as soon as there's a crash smh

If you're going to have a rule it should be enforced... it's a tiny thing but the flashing light wasn't flashing on the tractor last night at Ippo, it's in the rulebook, so should be enforced... if not, get it out of the rulebook! Light is not flashing on the Edinburgh tractor tonight 🚜🚨

So VP gets a 7 day ban for genuinely being sick while Nicolai Klindt is allowed to pick and choose his meetings as he sees fit, absolutely absurd!

011.4.2 Guest Rider (G) b) a rider may ride as a guest (in an official meeting) at a track only once in an 8 day period (within that league) excluding Play Offs, unless he is replacing the home teams #1 or is ONLY declared in a British Development League Team. Not sure why guesting for a number 1 is different to everybody else, but 8 day rule does not apply for Klindt.

They had Kye Thomson guesting against Worky, Tobias Thomsen against Oxford, Kyle Howarth against Scunny and Chris Harris against Poole. Even if none of that were true, it is not for Plymouth to decide whether rules have been broken, the tail seems to be wagging the dog 🐕

Was their heat leader holed up in a Polish hotel room on race night and racing around the rest of Europe during the week?

Or as Elton John sang, Saturday night's the night for... travelling 🛫

Why has Ben Cook received a 28 day ban for breaching SCB Regulation 010.5 j) and Nicolai Kilndt hasn't? Klindt may not be in "dispute" with his club in which case surely paragraph p) should be applicable "has been approved in a teams declared 1-7 at the start of the season but due to extenuating circumstances is not available, a facility may be granted, up to a maximum of 28 days, at the SCB Co-Ordinators discretion."

I'm not sure anybody is blaming Plymouth, they've been badly let down by Klindt. The Speedway Control Bureau has once again proved itself as not fit for purpose, handing bans out willy nilly, especially last season not so much this, and then turning a blind eye to other rule breaches. Until the SCB steps up and applies the rules in a consistent and unbiased way Speedway will always be a Mickey Mouse sport in this country. I can't decide whether the SCB are incompetent or willfully neglegent... I suspect it's the latter.

Something for the children to do while waiting for the kids race...

The days of ai commentary is not far away and then you'll be able to choose the commentary you wish. Press 1 for Joe Pasquale Press 2 for Bartosz Zmarzlik

You're bloody obsessed with commentators! BSN are looking for a new presenter if you fancy it?

Why do BSN always cut away from a crash so quickly? What's wrong with them?

Was brilliant for Leicester too when we had him, shame his tv commitments got in the way of him returning for us... and of course he did miss a Saturday night match for us when he elected to do tv work instead... so let's say 109%

5.1.8 Track Preparation Equipment As detailed on the Homologation Certificate, must be available in working order. Vehicles must be fitted with rotating flashing hazard warning lights. Well, it's fitted but not switched on 🚨

Can I get some custard with my humble pie please 🥧

Can't help but think Richard Lawson would have been better off staying with Leicester this season, he's dropped a point on his average.

Magic looks as though he'd rather be anywhere else other than Foxhole!

If you combine the bottom 3 teams in the leagues points they're joint top with Ippo 😂
