BongoBrian Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) That is probably the most blatant fix I have ever seen in Speedway... Heat 10, Lindgren was looking to let his countryman; Jonsson through for the win! Disgraceful!!! Edited July 28, 2012 by BongoBrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat 10, Lindgren was looking to let his countryman; Johnson through for the win! Can't remember it in detail but even if it was the case unless Lindgren is in each of Jonsson's subsequent races that one point isn't going to make any great difference in the grand scheme of the series?

BongoBrian Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 ManchesterPaul... In heat 10, Lindgren was assisting Jonsson by letting him past... Jonsson is now on 9/9 points. Watch the heat again and tell me different? Clear as day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the heat again and tell me different? Clear as day!!! Nooooo! you got me wrong, i wasn't disagreeing with your observations.....i was just mentioning that it wouldn't have the greatest effect in the series as a whole, and maybe even this meeting. Oh no i was just about to post mid-race that whether you like him or not one can't deny Chris Holder is one of the most exciting/bravest riders in the world. What a shame for such a nasty mechanical fault to occur. Jason going across to try and earn a commission by recommending a good metal plater to Chris. I proudly take the title of "World's worst forecaster" My lottery numbers for tomorrow are........... Hey respect you were the only one prepared to risk ridicule and egg on face by making a forecast. You need a cloth to wipe that yolk away? lol I have no need of mine i kept stumm! Edited July 28, 2012 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBrian Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 What are these commentators all about? 'Chains get very hot'! Holder's unfortune had nothing to do with chain temperature... Holders skid shoe clattered off the chain and shattered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Even knowing what the Know knows, I still get happy evertime Hans does well! And yeah, it was a poor heat, probably his easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(by the way i don't see any strings on that guitar lol lol) Wow very unusual the Heaven's just opened in Manchester it's torrential rain. Very nice to Gollob in good racing form then.

SCB Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Heard Stekkers say that 1/3 of the Uk meetings have been postponed due to rain this season. Any truth in this? It certainly seems that many. It's certainly been a stupidly high number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Delay prob cos GP organizers can't figure out the draw pick order lol. 2 trivial observations..... 1. Awww why do the riders always totally blank the beautiful draw girls? I'd so have pen and paper ready collecting phone numbers (even if they so obviously going to give me false ones lol) 2. We have the usual unsightly empty seats at the most photographed/filmed/boroadcast part of the speedway track, namely, the start/finish line. DEFINITELY overpricing making the sport look bad here. Empty spaces do not attract sponsors or other 'humans' lol. Edited July 28, 2012 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) It certainly seems that many. It's certainly been a stupidly high number. It's turning in to a nightmare... The teams in the Finnish league have riders that have a UK team and when you think about the money, it's not a surprise where the guys will ride and who will suffer. Good thing someone put the Finnish final on the same date as Cardiff! And it's not all that simple if the figures are even when deciding the finishing order. And the coin is last one that decides!

Still stuns me and all praise and credit to how Finnish riders perform well over here when not exactly a packed domestic calendar. Ok placings not simple but even myself with (until just a few years ago) no experience of computers full stop ever, or indeed any education in any computer programming or languages was able to cobble up a spreadsheet that sorts correctly the placings. A spreadsheet i hasten to add has ALWAYS done things that Sam Ermolenko's favourite software wasn't able to do for a good year or two. Anyway. whatever important thing is another good GP meeting loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Ok that was as usual a good GP and interesting opinions and bits fun in the chat. I got a night in tonight as girlfriend at parents and she will undoubtedly be giving me the occasional ring to keep tabs on me lol. I so given up on my futile attempts at getting the whole of the pub to hush so i can pretend i am at home hee hee. So forgot we still got Cardiff to come!
