idanthyrsus Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 It's one of the sports undying qualities that armchair fans feel they know better than those who were actually there Truth hurts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Truth hurts? My tooths fine. How's that armchair? Edited June 23, 2013 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanthyrsus Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 My tooths fine. How's that armchair? Brilliant. Basking in the glow of a good victory with a nice glass of wine. Unfortunately it appears your wine is a bit off, though. There's a distinct aura of sour grapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Brilliant. Basking in the glow of a good victory with a nice glass of wine. From the comfort of your armchair, brilliant! Real fans feel the pain of defeat as well as the sweet smell of victory. I've been there for the good days as well as the bad, so I've had experience of both. Been there when we've lost by 30+ points at home as well as witnessing some heavy defeats away. All forgotten the next day and looking forward to the next meeting. Pleased to see Nelson back in the points and looking competetive again. Couple of blips when he looked like he expected the ref to call them back in heat 5 and looked like he laid it down in heat 13 when Auty locked up, but he was well adrift of the leaders by then anyway. Puzzled as to how Robbo has learned to gate. Couldn't buy a start when he was with us in 2005/6. Perhaps he could give Kasper a few lessons Edited June 23, 2013 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhamboy66 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Beaten by a better team who were lucky not to be penalised more harshly for their antics at the gate. No nightmare from Lambert, a bad fall that many would have retired from the meeting after, a very good ride that saw his overtake in race two in exactly the same place and situation as his big crash where he broke his ankle. Found himself replaced by another reserve who had great reluctance to move off the white line. Match was lost by very poor return by Jason Bunyan and a Josh Autey that was never going to score heavily against fast starting opponents. Demoralising programme notes from Len re the injuries. His reluctance to replace even temporarily Allen and Garrity will be rewarded at the turnstyles. All in all a decent meeting but with the season half gone i have done only seven meetings and despite the thin racing calender this season we have started to resort to double headers. Only saving grace this season could be make some changes now and get ourselves in a place to challeng Redcar in the Cup Semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does yourself no credit to claim that anybody who wasn't there can't have an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 well said had same experiences many times always end up saying 'there's always next time' You know me Sid. Bitch and moan like hell, but back the next week for more... Already planned my visits to Redcar & Scunthorpe in a couple of weeks. Not expecting much, but you never know.... No nightmare from Lambert, a bad fall that many would have retired from the meeting after, a very good ride that saw his overtake in race two in exactly the same place and situation as his big crash where he broke his ankle. Found himself replaced by another reserve who had great reluctance to move off the white line. I may have been a little harsh on Simon in the heat of the moment after a disappointing defeat. He just looks so awkward and so unsuited to the Rye House track. A baffling signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanthyrsus Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I respect your right to an opinion, but don't respect your opinion. Is that better? Since the only opinion I put forward is that you are a right whiner, then I suspected you wouldn't respect my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big improvement, and I know he is using different clutch plates. Getting that keen that he is getting pulled up, especially on recent TV meetings.

Shadders Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Since the only opinion I put forward is that you are a right whiner, then I suspected you wouldn't respect my opinion. Your suspicion was correct. About the only thing you've got right so far. Well done! If I did want a moan I would be within my rights as a paying customer, not from the comfort of my armchair First noticed it in our first meeting at Berwick this year. Big improvement, and I know he is using different clutch plates. Getting that keen that he is getting pulled up, especially on recent TV meetings. I can't remember the recent meeting on Sky where he was constantly pulled up by the ref for jumping at the at the start, one of them was very harsh. Can't say I noticed him doing it last night, It was more Henry and Ritchie Worrall from memory. Edited June 23, 2013 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Richie is so sharp from the gate opposing fans assume he is jumping the starts. How else could he be 5 yards ahead after 10yards of a race. Be thankful the UK has found someone this quick out of the starts. As his recent 14 and 18 point scores in the EL show, he could be the next British GP rider. He is only passing through Newcastle but I will follow his career with great interest.
