Diamonds on twitter non to happy with ref?? Few riders saying they were robbed?? Any reason??

 

Lewis done for "touching the tapes" when he seemed not to?

 

Diamonds gated in heat 15 (on a 5-1) and it was stopped for an "unsatistactory start" when it seemed that it was a perfect start?

 

Decent away point for the Diamonds, but we must go to Redcar and get a draw or better and win both home matches by the necessary margins to top the group.

 

Lewis could be the find of the season. And Richie rode a brilliant four laps to keep the Comets behind him and Lewis in heat 9.

I pay my £15 every week to support the Comets, I`m not getting on their backs, just merely giving an opinion on their riding tonight.

 

why are you paying 15 quid to get into workington speedway, when its only 13 quid.. have you been down to see the speedway this year,2013. no wonder you are not happy..

Nothing about Robson getting a flyer then after being pulled up twice in heat ,

Great to see Lewis Kerr scoring points in the premier he has what it takes he just needed matches, maybe u have another Richie Worrall in the making !

 

Maybe we have another Richie Worrall in the making ;)

 

He's our our official number 8 and it'd be nice to see him get a meeting or two when Kozza is on Berwick duty.

i spoke to friends who were on the back straight and they thought ht 15 was a clean start but from where we were it did look like robbo jumped

as for the impresive lewis kerr the red lights came on as soon as the tapes went up so maybe he rolled while under orders and touched the tapes before they went up as i didnt notice him catching them as they were going up but as i said the red light was on as soon as they tapes went

 

See post #29 for my reply!!!

did have a quick scroll down to see if it had been spoted but must have missed it

regardless of paying ebtry fee we all have the right to voice our opinion and now the dictator has gone nobody should be frightend of making such posts as the fear of being banned has gone i would think

From where I was standing (albeit not with the best of views) the referee got both of those calls wrong.

 

I am also not sure why Robson got warned in heat 1 on the second time he jumped the start, not the first.

 

Track was really poor lastnight, hope it was just due to the weather as in the current climate £13 is to expensive to watch the gate & go rubbish I witnessed lastnight

 

It wasn't good but I think that was excusable as I was astonished that the match even went ahead (at certain southern tracks, it would have been cancelled about 11am).

 

I stayed over in Kendal and it rained from 4pm onwards and all the way to the stadium, where it was still raining (admittedly, only spitting). All weather forecasts predicted rain, so preparing the track for racing would have meant that a postponement would have been more likely.

 

As it was, I think the Workington promotion and all the riders deserve some credit for putting the paying spectator first.

The re starts did not help either side, seems like ref's interpret the rules in their own way.

 

Newcastle are a strong side and will be even stronger when Andrew Tully returns as his r/r points only totalled 5pts.

 

Lewis Kerr is a great prospect and could prove to be the Diamonds improved rider that helps them towards League success.

I was replying to a specific post, which is why I didn't mention any other incident.

 

I think the problem is (as you've mentioned it), some Ref's will let things go, whilst others will not. I.e. a Ref might give a warning to a rider for moving (not only was Robbo warned, but I think it was Aarnio in heat 6 as well) and then letting it go by just ordering a re-run later and other Ref's will exclude a rider for doing same.
