Did I say 20+

Thanks Barney,but I really do not care, we have finished top of the pile, Pairs winners and KO cup winners and dare I say if Doyle had been available for the 4`s I think we would have been in a shout for that aswell.........................................

If this is correct then the Rebels are in the final

I think they need to lose by something life 20+ not to qualify, unlikley I think unless some sort of catastrophe happens. Nice try by the Diamonds today but I think you lost your chance when you were 2 up with 4 to go at our place and lost 19 - 5 in those final races.

Boring More boring

I really do not think it is right or proper to start speculating about who will be in the Rebels team next year when we are still competing. I`m sure Kyle will be pleased to see that maybe some of us have doubts about him especially after he had a bad day at the office on friday.This is his first time in the first team proper and I think he has done ok and will be a better rider for it, especially having a season riding with Doyley.

The top team in the league Somerset are generally very good at the end of matches, so don`t be too harsh on your lads. It sounds like it was a real nail biter for a while,but Charles Wright is turning into a real good signing, he is scoring good points against everyone. Sunday should be a belter.

Oliver Greenwood guesting again at 7.

I remember you going on about this last season, and I supported you and Newcastle as the true champs even though my team (Somerset ) had got through to the Play off final. Same thing has happened to us this year, regardless of who wins the play off, the Rebels are the best team in the league. R/R for Kus tonight makes the Bears stronger,where is he then ?

If the Rebels perform as professionally as they did at Rye, a comfortable win by at least 15 should result. The controversial signing of Charles Wright could turn out to be a master stroke,he looked very impressive Sunday, always in the mix.

Good match with a comfortable result for Somerset. Rye won on the day by two points,but Somerset but for three costly falls ( 2 for Nick and 1 for Alex ) would probably have took the spoils.Some good banter between opposing supporters gave a great atmosphere made even better by Tai`s performance last night,well done Len for asking the crowd to give him a standing ovation.Doyle pulled out of heat 15 with tomorrow in mind,which probably cost the Rebels a draw. Good to see Ian. Dave, Bernard and Mark and all the travelling Rebel army.

One of those all time great moments in British Sport,I said it before, there is a good film here about Tai`s journey, so proud of the lad, it bought a lump to my throat.( wus ).

The lads managed to get within 6 points of Rye with only three riders and a guest on their last visit, so a 28 point cushion should be enough with all seven available this time to hopefully pick up our third trophy this season.

Another Friday, another thumping win for Somerset, and another max for Jason Doyle ( and Nick ), not forgetting excellent support from the rest of the lads, bodes well for all down at the OTA. I`m hoping we can go "one better" literally this year after last seasons disappointment at the final hurdle.Looking forward to going to Rye on Sunday for the 2nd leg.

Prefer to be positive, great performance from Somerset tonight, best ever season so far with maybe more to come. I am really looking forward to going to Rye next week to see us clinch the trophy. Hoping all my mates from the OTA will be there.

Good luck to Doyley and Nick today, hope there are no more bad injuries to come. Best wishes to Ashley and Ricky on their recoveries.

So agree with all the above, my heart went out to him ( and his family ) when he was struggling to hold back the tears of agony he was clearly going through. I have rarely felt so proud of a British rider in 40 years of watching this sport than I do right now for that young man. I so much want him to win. Kelvin wasn`t far wrong in saying that if Tai does manage to do it, it would make a good film. I`m thinking Warwick Davies as Tai.....lol.

Lot of pressure on the skipper though, if he has a mishap early on ( see Tai last night ) could be awkward. Will we be at full strength for the return ?

Ha ha, you will probably have unopposed abuse on the updates site as I`m off on holiday for two weeks today. Hope it goes ahead and all riders stay safe, good luck to Chas on his OTA debut for the Rebels.I would just like to say that I was sorry that Stef got the bullet the other week, he was unlucky, but like last season with the Sam Masters thing, I stand by the management and hope they have got it right again. Speedway is very much a results driven sport and when it is relatively easy to change your team for a supposed better one ( Scunny got it spot on last term ) this sort of thing will always happen. In saying that I believe most riders understand the situation and although obviously disappointed if asked to leave, it opens the door for someone else which may well be themselves another time.

I didn`t say you were in the final , just that you lost, the point was that you made remarks on the PL Pairs thread about alleged skull duggery on gate 3 which resulted in Vissing and Lawson finishing last.I merely pointed out that Doyle also went nowhere off three in the final, but unlike the other two made his way to the front.What this has to do with "Somerset team changes" is beyond me.

.. OMG you lost, get over it, Doyle off three in the final, last to first, a good ride, we won.Tell you what if Doyle had been in the fours we would probably won that aswell.

Josh guesting for them tonight, and I fancy us at all of the tracks in the top six, but none of them fancy coming to our place.We have scored good points at most places this term.

I think if the Prem title was decided on who finishes top,there would not have been a cat in hells chance of Doyley turning out for the Witches.It doesn`t really matter where you finish in the top six as long as you do imo,as any of the top six will be tough.

Great idea imo, come on Rebels and Witches management make a stand for people power, let`s go for r/r for Doyley and Barker.

Ha ha, enjoy tonight.
