Gazc Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Really enjoyed last night's meeting and good to see the monarchs flying the flag for Scottish Speedway proving again that they will be there when the silverware is being handed out at the end of the season.

woodenspoon Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have noticed at least five posters on here having a go at Craig Cook re alleged rolling at the start. Nothing about what a great meeting this was with some of them just having a go at Cookie, and quoting biased Birmingham reports. What is wrong with you, here we have a British rider on the way up, and as usual some fans try and drag them down, we have few enough young British riders on the way up as it is, so get behind them, instead of knocking them every chance you get. Last night, great track, great competative racing, with evenly matched teams, congratulations to all concerned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 In my opinion the referee got the heat 15 call right as Tabaka was certainly not in front of Josh as he thought he was when he collided with him. Heat 11, well what did Josh do wrong other than race? Sneddon rolled the dice took a dive and won. That call was the turning point for me. You win some you lose some so Well Done to the Monarchs on getting the win. I was right in line with the Grajczonek/Sneddon incident and thought the ref got it absolutely spot on 2 counts... Firstly his dirt deflector went into Deeks front wheel and unbalanced him and secondly, Grajczonek ran him wider and wider until he had nowhere to go... There's hard racing and not leaving anyone anywhere to go... Was certainly the turning point of the match and the ref called it right. Can't comment on Tabaka/Grajzconek in Heat 15 as I was watching Cook/Doyle up front! Another cracking PL meeting - well on a par with the last one at Berwick. Well done to all concerned. Just one question, when do we get to see the next PL meeting? Was it really just on a par with Berwick?? So Louis, Doyle and Davies says it slick. Starman says there was plenty of dirt. I'll let people decide who they wish to believe. Wouldn't say there was plenty of dirt on the track, but there was just enough to provide the entertainment everyone saw... Spot on ..it's amazing even when pro riders who ride the track every week tell people the track is slick you still get expects on here telling them there wrong, unreal .. Always been a myth that you need lots of dirt on a track to make good racing Erm... Doyle and Davies wouldn't happen to be home riders that weere on the wrong end of the result last night, would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 When Sky renew the contract next year, they want to go for weekly Premier League and just the occasional EL meeting at Peterborough or King's Lynn. No need to go to Lakeside, Eastbourne or Belle Vue.... All the best Rob Completely agree Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moxey63 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 After many years telling people, that speedway is growing poorer value for money than the year before, and in turn being told to go and watch something else and not post any more comments on these forums, I proudly state “I Told You.” For those that can’t tell the difference, last night’s match between Somerset and Edinburgh is what will keep present fans, introduce new ones, and even see old moxey try and peep a look at his nearest stadium. There was no need for the Golden Clown ploy; every rider seemed hell bent on spilling blood as if it were a GP on a Saturday evening. Well done lads, can’t wait for the next Premier League match. However, I suppose I’ll have to sit through two hours tonight asking myself if yesterday eve was just a blip. One final word – last night, and the danger of speedway providing such entertainment, well, that’s why old-time fans like OldAce and me still stay in touch. We know there’s something there, and we both feel vindicated after having seen the events of last night – the best speedway match I’ve seen in a long time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior fan Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Finally good to see a decent televised meeting.I was afraid when Authur Sissis went road racing we had missed the next Darcy Ward but in Max Fricke I think he will step up as the next big thing for Australia, hopefully he can be included in the Under 21 World cup final.

Agrotron Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well that was the best meeting I have witnessed on Sky for a long while and yet again its premier league, if this happens to be the quality of racing you guys in the PL are experiencing I will stop going to Poole and start coming to Somerset. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylorj Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 A great meeting, done the PL proud . Rosco is a nice guy but no good commentating talks rubbish and very biased, last night he was a Somerset fan , would have loved to have seen Doyles face after heat 15, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blindman Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 OK, So Deek went down quicker than a whores drawers on a busy night and Cookie may have rolled at the start!!!! Who cares???, from watching on TV I saw one of the best meetings ever on Sky, and those visiting for the first time and seeing that will surely be back for more. I think that even if a rider rolls slightly but doesn't touch the tapes he should be allowed to carry on and not get excluded or warned, 50% of the time it will pay off and the other 50% it won't. Edinburgh were fantastic last night and it's a delight to see Cookie doing well, wish a few more English riders had the guts and ability that he has. Both teams done the PL proud. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 f Did you watch mate, that is why Sky like to come to the OTA,brilliant exciting match which had everything.Good effort by the monarchs to sneak the win. Nick and Josh both had off nights and I`m afraid Tom is beginning to worry me a bit now.For the Monarchs good all round effort which you need in an away fixture when the home side are not firing on all cylinders.Cookie was great in heat 15, not many get past Doyley once he is in front, No I don't have sky, I was just stating that sky love your track but maybe others should have a chance also, where is the harm in that? Never did I say it was boring or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post, I don't understand the rolling thing, the test must be "did the tapes break". I'm still learning what the rules are about these days after a long break from speedway. When I rode in the 70's we touched the tapes hence a lot of broken tapes and delays. The racing last night was great and long may that continue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) As already stated numerous times elsewhere, a great meeting with some great racing and a great advert for the PL - unless you're a Rebels fan! Edinburgh look a very strong side ( how did they manage to lose at home to Redcar?? ) and with either Fricke, Tabaka or even Sneddon at reserve all season, they are going to be a serious contender for honours. As for the Rebels, some cracks are beginning to appear. The huge win at Scunny showed just what this team can do, but there's too much inconsistency. Jason - Couldn't really ask for more from him, though does seem to have lost that invincibility he had earlier in the season, maybe through slight injury or fatigue. Kyle - Doing what's expected from the tricky no.2 position, except disaster at Redcar. Nick - Bit off the pace last night, but just returning from broken collarbone so understandable. Alex - Seems to be really kicking on from last year, both home and away. Josh - Poor meeting at Redcar (feeling unwell apparently), but otherwise exceeding expectations. Stefan - Impressed. Mixing it well with the big boys. Bit impetuous, but will learn quickly. Tom - A real worry. Not moved forward since last year. I don't believe there is anyone available that could improve the potential of this Rebels team - Tom could be the only one under threat, but from whom? - it's just a matter of finding more consistency and maybe more inspiration from the management. Gary seems a lovely guy, but he ain't no SAF! Edited June 12, 2013 by Barney Rebel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Splendid meeting and confirms that with full seven man teams the Monarchs look (slightly) the strongest in the league. Can't wait for the cup matches with the Diamonds over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vissing is a bit of a weak link at the moment was expecting him to be scoring more .If he hits form the Monarchs will take some stopping. Fricke is a star of the future without doubt has class and intelligent with riding ,everything in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
