Hayley1311 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Like most panthers fans I left this meeting feeling dissapointed but theres always the KO Cup. The track was a mess, the referee did not have a very good meeting and I was appauled he did not stop the race when the tapes failed. Credit to the start marshall to bravely ran across the track so the race could be completed. Surely theres a rule thats states no-one is to go on track when the race is in action?

houdi Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well on this forum all week a lot of Panther fans talked the talk,unfortunately for you,your team couldn't walk the walk. Quite why you would prepare a track that was deep and heavy,when you know the Bees have Bomber,Ben,Eddie and Lewis in their line up,will be one of lifetimes great mysteries.Especially when your own team includes Bjerre,Troy and Rory. Bjerre's performance was completely spineless,particularly in comparison to their 2 inexperienced Poles who at least showed a proper commitment,and no little trackcraft. In stark contrast the whole Bees team showed fantastic commitment,confidence and desire.On this form with the huge momentum we have built up,I believe we are going to take some stopping.Of course Poole will rightly start favourites however I feel we have nothing to fear. Bomber and KK have had pretty decent results againsts Poole's top 2 recently,and our reserves are both capable of scoring some big points.Sweetman was outstanding last night,Eddie is riding now better than he has done all season,and Ben showed in passing Adams last week at Swindon he is quite capable of beating anyone anywhere. Great to see a huge Bees following,hopefully even more will make trip to Poole for the second leg.The only question remains is, will Poole be able to muster more than the 15-20 fans they apparently took to Wolves for the semi-final.

21st century heathen Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I actually thought the ref made a brave call re: Roo/Bomber and got it right. In my opinion Bomber did lay it down not fall due to an error of his own. And Roo rather signed his own exclusion warrant with his comment to the ref the the following rider "should have taken avoiding action.". With this his was admitting, though it could not be denied, that he was out of shape and that a following rider would need to take action. In my view and that of the ref the following rider did exactly as Roo suggested and took avoiding action. Roo lost momentum due to losing control and Bomber would have hit him had he stayed upright. That said Roo can count himself very unfortunate. Firstly because had Bomber not taken the same line as Roo and gone in tighter instead then he would have just ridden straight past him on the inside while Roo was busy getting in to trouble further out. Secondly, it's extremely rare that a ref recognises a rider laying the bike down in this circumstance and I can completely understand that Rory was extremely frustrated by the way it worked out. Rory was extremely fortunate not to be discluded for jumping the start twice in my opinion. So perhaps even for those that disagree with the above you could agree that on balance you win some and you lose some? -------------------------------------------------- I think P'brgh gambled on KK and Pawlicki not fancying the very grippy conditions and that Barker, Kennett and Bridger's patchy form at P'brgh would fall in their favour. Rather backfired spectacularly but why on earth didn't the P'brgh riders voice their concern last week when the forum was buzzing with news that the track would be very grippy? Surely when you turn up and do your track walk it's too late? I think notable mentions for the home Poles should be the first thing to mention on individual performances. They made their more experienced team mates look second-rate, though PUK and Batchelor fought back to restore a little personal pride. I suspect the Poles will be handing in the scores from this meeting with their job application for 2011. Rather surprised Matt didn't go better with his grasstrack experience, but the standard of EL is step above him in truth. I said before the meeting that a reasonable contribution from Sweetman and Barker would ease the pressure on Cov, and so it proved. Got one right for a change!! Both rode very well for their points, but then so did the rest of the team. It was a very solid display by the Bees and it's hard to pick out any one rider for a special mention as they all did their bit for the team. Regardless of any gripes people might have over one or two decisions here or there Cov were easily the better team over the two legs, and to be fair I think even all the P'brgh fans have said so despite some strong views on 'the incident'.

Where in that does it show that Bjerre does care?? He may be your hero, but seriously mate you need to take your rose tinted specs off for this one. That was the worst display by a #1 rider ive ever seen (Ive only been following speedway about 8 or 9 years). And he needs to accept the fact hes going to kop a load of stick.

He can sulk? All good playing the 'Im disapointed' look, how about showing some effort on the track?

Fromafar Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 While the track was prepared different to normal, it certainly sorted the men from the boys.Gating tarts Bjerre,Batchelor and Schlein just wanted to go home.Swales was queit last night for a change wonder why!!!!!.Peterborough Poles will probably be sacked for showing up the Superstars,well done to them. I think Kelvin wanted to blame the track then realised it was certain riders from the home team, then got stuck into them!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcat Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 KingKenneth or whatever you call yourself. You cant defend the indefensible mate, Bjerre went missing on the biggest night of the season for the Panthers. In that picture, Bjerre is probably sulking at how much money he's lost from scoring just one single point. The Bee's were the best team over the two legs and despite the track conditions last night, they were up for it, King Kenneth wasn't, along with a few of his other team mates, hence the Bee's now face Poole and Peterborough don't. And as a fact, last night just goes to show what slick tracks have done to speedway. When tracks were regularly like that (Not just Peterborough I have to add), we had some quite brilliant meetings. With ultra slick tracks, top flight speedway became sterile for the most part. Last night showed that some so called top riders cant handle any sort of grip. It showed that some so called lesser lights in British speedway, Barker, Bridger, the Boro Poles etc, can out perform so called World Class/GP stars. I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting, watching Eddie Kennett laying his bike over nice and low, leg trailing it and having the brass sphericals to ride the grippy dirt was a sight to behold, and I'm not a great fan of Eddies to be honest, but last night he was superb, as was Bridger and Barker and as for Harris, sublime comes to mind. Well Done the Bee's and looking forward to the Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy den boy Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 maybe Bjerre just isnt used to grippy tracks,maybe he should do some grass track racing or enter the 2011 world longtrack championships!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
