colincooke Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) well the comment I made certainly wasn't meant to be funny. No, but it was absolutely correct. Jerran's average is unimportant as he has far more talent than that figure suggests. Edited December 28, 2009 by colincooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Jerran's average is unimportant as he has far more talent than that figure suggests. Correct CC.

WembleyLion Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Jerran's average is unimportant as he has far more talent than that figure suggests. I agree Colin as Jerran's 139 points over his last 17 meetings (info. taken from the Christmas Cracker programme) indicates. He is indeed a fine prospect.

uk_martin Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Yes that's true. However if the track staff fail to do their job and if it's true that none of them helped Barker when his bike went on fire then they have no business being there and should be shown the door never to do the job again. First time of reading that I thought that it may actually have been a defence of Jim McGregor, but then I thought, No! Can't be! Not from a speedway fan who's witnessed him in action. First rule of first aid is "never become a casualty yourself". Now this isn't first aid as such, but "first point of help" maybe. Without fire extinguishers, what else could anyone do that wouldn't endanger themselves? Dunno, wasn't there, but we did have something similar at Perry Barr earlier in the 2009 season, so I can picture what went on. (We did have a fire extinguisher to hand though) Bear in mind what someone else said that you can't always see flames that come from burning methanol. So whose job was it to take the fire extinguishers to the starting gate? Slapped wrists! Who was that person's supervisor? Clip around the ear hole! Who was the person looking directly at the starting grid from a point facing directly opposite, all meeting long, who didn't notice their absence? Who was is "supreme control of the meeting"? Kick up the backside, and an invitation to take early retirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmiaw Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I had to laugh at Jerran Harts comments on the BSPA site. "I came here to win but 2nd is a good effort". Who on earth does he think he is? He was never going to win that field. Yes done well no doubt but to say what he said just made me laugh. Wonder if Niels Kristian and Mads are worried about his presence for the Classic on Sunday? Lol, try Jerran Hart at any other track in the country and he doesn't stand a chance. Think he should try and step it up to the elite league. That'll bring him down a peg or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmiaw Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 If you think Ben Barker made an effort for anyone but himself you need to seek proffesional help. as for the damage to his bike, Scunthorpe speedway should charge him for the fire extinguisher as the fire was casued by his own Piss Poor preparation. "What goes around comes around " Ben went with two bikes, well prepared and didn't give up after two or three heats like the other riders. Even after sliding off and being covered head to toe in thick mud! As for the Laurel and Hardy comment about his mechanics, I take it you can do a better job? Maybe you should offer your services! Do you have a personal vendetta against Mr Barker, maybe you get jealous of talented elite league riders with good prospects!!!! I suggest you put your dummy back in and stop slating riders that tried. He took his bike going up in flames very well and did not give up, pack up and go home like many of the other riders!

crikeythatsfast Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 How can you make such comments about our Jerran.....obviously you are not aware of this lads guts and enthusiasm.....he rode exactly how we at Scunny would expect him to. Well done Jerran and good luck at the Classic! Some people just knock riders for the sake of it. He's got confidence and it shows in his riding. Now being cocky is another thing entirely, and something which Jerran certainly isn't. Good luck to the lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he should try and step it up to the elite league. That'll bring him down a peg or two! Good to see the numpty's are still about, too much cooking sherry I guess. If you are that worried about Jerran have a look at his scores last season at different tracks both NL & PL, + 9 points at last years Ace of Hearts at Rye - but then, don't let facts get in the way of a good argument. Doesn't need bringing down a peg or two, has confidence and ability - will do for me. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colincooke Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm pretty sure either Jerran or Ben are quite happy to do their talking on the track. Amazing how far they've both come in 2 seasons, whether cocky or not confidence is needed from british lads to get up there with the rest. Jerran will be a Scunny heat leader before 2010 is over, that i'm sure of. I'm pretty sure they'll both be reading all this with a smile on their faces. On to another matter which hasn't been mentioned. We're the new silencers being used yesterday.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIE-JA Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Ok Buster Keaton , We all know how ben and the Keystone cops are the ultimate proffesionals , and by the way , what a lovely chap Ben himself is , Whoever it was who has impersonated Ben at Cardiff the last 2 years , trying to start fights with people too old to fight back and generally behaving in a disgraceful manner should be ashamed of themselves , as for the state of his equipment , you should not mistake the shiny new chrome etc. of a profesional riders equipment for good preparation , thats done days/weeks before in the workshop,not five minutes after arriving at the track for a meeting Believe me I know a lot about bike preperation and you're correct, shiny chrome is not the be all and end all. It just seems you enjoyed gloating at Barkers misfortune. And what has Cardiff got to do with yesterdays meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyy Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Yes the Lakeside contracted rider will hopefully progress to the E/L.

There's always someone who can't resist having a dig, Gary. If young Mr Hart had said he was aiming for the top three in the meeting last week, they'd have laughed at that, too - whether the meeting was ridden at Scunthorpe or elsewhere. At the moment the best of all is he's riding for us next season It wasn't a good meeting by Scunny standards as the track was too wet but credit them for putting the meeting on. I thought Ben Barker should have been excluded and that we may yet hear more of that - not having fire extinguishers on the start line is serious, and credit to pudding for having the knouse to get one from the tea hut.

Think he should try and step it up to the elite league. That'll bring him down a peg or two! What a sadly typical BSF posting... Slag off the best young talent in Britain, why don't you... And also wholly inaccurate... I guess you've missed the maximums Jerran returned on a number of occasions at Plymouth and at his 2009 NL track Poole riding for the Buccs... Jerran WILL I've no doubt be in the EL the year after next and will take it by storm as he has done at every juncture of his still very new career..
