Mr Blobby Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 This week sees the Bandits making an appearance at the Dale hoping to come away with something as the monarchs have been poor at home of late. Adam Ellis guests for Barrett not sure why though maybe someone can confirm the reason for this. With Ellis guesting it makes the Bandits much stronger as he has banged in 18 points in his 2 previous appearance compared to Barrett who scored 3 earlier in the season. Teams for Friday: Edinburgh Monarchs Craig Cook Derek Sneddon Theo Pijper Max Fricke Claus Vissing Mitchell Davey Joe Tabaka Berwick Bandits Ricky Ashworth David Bellego Robin Aspegren Matthew Wethers Kozza Smith Adam Ellis (guest) Paul Starke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Barrett suffered a dislocated shoulder in a crash at Berwick a month ago. Predictable home win at Armadale tomorrow,Berwicks record there isnt the best. Edinburgh 57 Berwick 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Can't say that I'm too disappointed to be missing this one . Looking at previous Bandits visits I can only see a fairly easy home win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScotsman Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Think this could be pretty close. Wouldn't like to call it one way or another unless misfiring Monarchs get Armadale track sussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthetiger Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Will Cookie get the full appreciation of the Army Army for his actions at Ipswich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyfivetoes Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 With Kozza the match-winner in last night's Ashes Test, and Ricky England's top-scorer, the Bandits might just be up for a point here. If they can set Cookie's blue touch-paper alight after Heat 1, they might get more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Edinburgh have 5 other very capable riders other than craig around armadale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilali Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Anyone with an ounce of sense in there body knows Berwick will take nothing from Armadale this evening. Still sure Razor will have the boys fired up and going for a point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) It's probably the best time to hit us at the moment with a tough lesson learnt last week and the shenanigans and probable on-going issues surrounding last night... However, I believe Edinburgh realise they'll need to turn the corner very quickly to stop this season from self destructing and tonight may just see a backlash from last night. Newcastle on Sunday will also be pivotal... I expect us to win tonight but it won't be a usual Berwick score at the Dale and I think it could be a bit closer...

Young51 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Should be a good one tonight with Bandits strengthened by their reserve guest Adam Ellis standing in for the so far unremarkable Nicki Barrett..Mon the Monarchs!Lets get it on.. and cue the music in Rocky as he runs up the stairs..Ride fast & ride safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Lets get it on.. and cue the music in Rocky as he runs up the stairs..Ride fast & ride safe We dont upset anyone,though I hope theres a few extra screws in the heaters at Armadale just incase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young51 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Not a great meeting I felt but better than the Newcastle gate & go debacle.Bandits gave it a real good go (for a change )and could & maybe should've got a point but for a couple of falls at key moments.I hope David Bellego is ok after he clattered the fence..i never thought i'd say this, but i was actually relieved when he withdrew from the meeting (for his own safety more than anything )He was pretty scary to watch tbh and can only hope he's ok to ride tonight.Matty was rock solid for the Bandits and Kozza had as impressive a meeting at the Dale as I've seen.Monarchs save for Mitchell were solid enough though Wee Joe could and should have done better tbh.A wee break next week for the Scottish Open is actually welcome as some of the team need to refocus for the playoffs push that lies ahead imo..

screm Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I suppose 39pts around Armadale for Berwick is something of an achievement so for that I congratulate the riders for their performances especially Matt Wethers,but with six race winners all night,four of them from Wethers,its unlikely Berwick were ever going to get a point last night.
