LisaColette Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 See Hans said he wouldn't have ridden if Swindon could get a guest. Could they not persude someone to fly over and ride? Only just got my voice back. Well done Pirates. Nothing to lose now, may as well just go for it in the final, no holding back after all Brum's to lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumOldBird Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Oh dear not that old chestnut again, fans dont cheer because a rider may be hurt they cheer because that rider wont get any points Foeverblue I appreciate that supporters are happy to see an opposing rider excluded and would cheer that. What I find disturbing is the cheering before its known if a rider is injured. I recall an innocuous crash that ended Adrian Rymels career. I'm not comparing the falls but you never know. Wait to cheer until you're certain the fallen rider is ok is all I'm suggesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of Swindon fans cheering when Josh was on the floor ...not sure why we go on about it fans of all teams do it ..pointless picking teams out . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Brum always talks rubbish. Every prediction he makes is always wrong. Top effort from the underdogs You are poster that knows rubbish, one day you might say something of any interest. Swindon fans have been gracious, but SteveBrum hasn't, trying to fathom out how Poole did it. Cheers! Best read posts before you post in future. Post 432 is there to wipe that smirk off your face.

thecoombdog Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 No point moaning about the riding order. Kennett would have scored fook all at 2 as well so the meeting would have been over by heat 14 anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) He failed to mention that he had just been sacked in Poland, otherwise he would have stuck two fingers up to British speedway as he has done for many years... They never tell the whole story ha Has Eddie ever seen a sport psychologist? Edited October 1, 2013 by Trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 It was a great meeting and the better team won - end of! I think it's unfair to single any rider out for blame - you ride together as a team and you win or lose as a team! I don't think Poole winning was down to EK in heat 14 - Poole were up for this meeting from the start, they looked more determined to win it and we were simply out-classed. As I said before, the better team on the night won and I'm sure they will be no pushovers in the final either. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are going to cheer as soon as the rider goes down unless it is a horrific crash when it is most likely the rider is injured. I know some minor looking crashes can end up with injury but most crowds go quiet when they realise that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixy230 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 It was always going to happen with the 2nd leg at Poole! Simply outgated, outclassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dump that clutch Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 John Francome, Desmond Morris, Diana Dors, Melinda Messanger, Julian Clary, Mark Lemarr, Billie Piper, Gilbert O'sullivan, Don Rogers, Justin Heyward, XTC, Rosco...........your boys......your boys took a hell of a beating!!!!!! A joyous night of speedway. Fantastic. That's what it was all about! And you know what did it? The lads heard Hans Andersen saying "we have sunk the Pirates Ship", and Batch on BBC Wiltshire radio saying, "It's in the bag", after last weeks meeting. Add to that taking the first leg first (an absolute howler as I said at the time) and then changing team order spelt the end for the Robins. They say revenge is a dish served best cold. Tonight was certainly a time for revenge, and the boys didn't let us down. Fantastic display from heat 1 and the roar of the crowd kept the team going through all 15 heats. Superb. I really thought the Robins would battle but it was clear they were trying to defend and couldn't compete with our top end. I will give a special mention to Nick Morris who had the right attitude all night. A shame for Swindon fans (and a relief for us) that none of the others could compete at the same level as him. As for Kildemand, it was clear he just slid off, looked up and then laid there. A Pole did this in the semis of the Polish playoffs and was booted out of the meeting. Pure cheating but luckily it failed in the rerun. Ref should be able to send off the rider for such an offence. Swindon fans have been gracious, but SteveBrum hasn't, trying to fathom out how Poole did it. Perhaps he was wrong all along with his assertions that Poole were the make weights. But he will never admit it. As for Gavan, I doubt he will say anything. He has been calling us rubbish all year. Well Gavan we are in the final. What do you think of that? Commiserations to Swindon. Tough to lose a semi. Hard to lose a final with key riders missing but Swindon fans were light on the sympathy 12 months ago. What goes around comes around, eh? Bring on Brum. Whatever the result of the final, the Pirates ship has done us proud tonight. And that's all we can hope for. Cheers! didn't Mr Darcy do the same thing earlier in the season engage that cell of yours before spouting trash eh!! A totally inept performance from Swindon last night, apart from NM & PK. Poole wanted it more and it showed. Well done to the Pirates, on last nights performance a deserved final appearance. Should be a good final... 2014 should be interesting.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Panda Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Congratulations lads.................when you look back at the line up we had at the start of the season we did well to get this far...................after losing Darcy early on and then as soon as he is back we lose Chris..............the shining lights in this season have to be the signing of Greg Hancock and Josh Graczjonek................. Good luck for Monday..................we can and we will do it................#justkeepbelieving #piratepride RP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno4 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 What made it worse for me was watching Doyles sublime performance at Brum in comparison to Kennett and Morris. Think we kept the wrong one ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigbo Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Bit harsh on Morris, johno. Picking Kennett over Doyle was a mistake, no doubt. I've never known a rider be so poor every time there's pressure. Not expecting great racing in the final, top heavy v solid 1-7 looks like a 3-3 fest to me.

LagutaRacingFan Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 The most ironic thing is that without the Swindon rider Batchelor, Poole wouldn't have even made the play-off's and Swindon would have hammered Lakeside over 2 legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruckerroo Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thoroughly enjoyable match, essentially Swindon were bloody awful, typical batchelor performance when it really mattered. Morris didn't deserve to be on the losing team, the ht8 ride was terrific. The final should be 2 corking affairs, Poole favs for me tho, Hancock was sublime last night.

Arson fire Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Kildemand and josh G should be fined for laying on the track... Blatant cheating by both of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
