DIAMONDS Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I must say Steve was no surprise to me at all, I knew he would do well The surprise Diamonds for me has to be Stuart Robson, looks like he is back to his best again just when I thought he might be on the decline after 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Kevin Doolan has been a bit disappointing for me,maybe still getting race fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Wolbert followed closely by Piper both have been crap Ooops Sorry wrong thread. Im surprised you are Undecided George got to be the Golf if you had witnessed what i had to endure at Berwick last night . Neither now, poor decision making on my part. Oh well, Scottish cup semi on the telly, Liverpool v City on the iPad, BSF on the lap top, beer on the table. Big breakfast still in the belly. Masters tonight! Hoover and ironing board are safe. Will need to give the gym a miss, that's 10 years in a row. Update: Hold that thought. The bliss lasted all of 20 minutes. She who must be obeyed wants a new mirror put up in the bathroom. I hate DIY! Anyone got any change for the swearbox? I'll need at least a fiver. See you all in two hours ..... minus a thumb.

screm Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Your words not mine.What point are you trying to make? As far as I'm aware Doolan is a professional rider, he doesn't have employment outside speedway, therefore IMO he had all winter to get himself fit with gym work and ample time to get track time at Leicester, Scunthorpe or Northside when they had track days. Take his teammate Mr Vissing, its well known he hired a track to get in the required practice, and it shows with the start he has made to the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate DIY! Anyone got any change for the swearbox? I'll need at least a fiver. See you all in two hours ..... minus a thumb. Well that's the mirror on the wall and SKY's pre-season programme on't telly. Now where did I leave that Stella? No electric wires drilled through ... miracle! I'll give the mirror about a week before it's in pieces on the gludgy floor. Marriage is also intact, despite my divorce threats ... no thanks to Ikea's best efforts to drive me nuts with their useless instructions. Do my glasses look like a microscope? Why do you provide instructions on an A4 size piece of paper, with the writing in 2mm font size? Think green and save a tree you Scandinavian schmucks! I opened up the packaging to find screws and rawplugs are not provided. Why in Shane Parker's name don't they tell you that on the outside of the pack!! Oh and by the way Mr Ikea, I bought a mirror, not a set of shelves! In my therapeutic DIY session there is one thing I have figured out though. You know those stupid names Ikea give their products, like ... Bigboobiez Whanka Puke Todger Knobcheez Phart ... these are actually swear words in Swedish or where ever it is Ikea pays its taxes. Very useful when you have a young kid in the house and you discover you've drilled four 10mm holes in the wrong part of the wall. Cheers Sven!

Najjer Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Kevin Doolan has been a bit disappointing for me,maybe still getting race fit. I don't know what you expected from him - he's been in decline for a few years now and nowhere near the force he used to be when he was at Kings Lynn. With him riding at number 1 too, was never going to help his cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him riding at number 1 too, was never going to help his cause.I wasn't expecting too much as I agree his career is in decline but what I have seen up to date has been poor IMO.Like I say maybe not into the swing of things yet.

Agree with you that so far Doolan has been poor, but I stick to what I posted earlier. It has to be hoped that you are right and there`s an up turn in his performances once he ups his race fitness.

Baldyman Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 He came to Ipswich with a high average and was meant to be a big hitting number 1, but for a season and half he was anything but. Don't expect much from him and occasionally he may surprise you, but but his normal scores are between 5 and 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpointfanatic22 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Been surprised about Benko if I tell the truth - Didn't expect him to score a point let alone average over 4 from his first 4 meetings.

RedcarRacer Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm surprised Carl Wilkinson has broken Redcar's new air fence yet - although he did give it a good go last week in all fairness to him. Also very happy with how Luke Crang has shaped up so far, nice style and looks good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hutcheson Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Steve Worrall has surprised me. I am really pleased for him. :approve: He's been a revelation! We got really lucky seeing him at the back end of last season guesting up at the Dale. I had heard that he'd bought some machinery from Richie, but I wanted to check that Richie wasn't hiding under stevie's helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I;m obviously happy for him though, keep it up Steve (Except against us ) Edited April 15, 2014 by DIAMONDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Stop making me so jealous I wonder why he ever did leave Newcastle? I;m obviously happy for him though, keep it up Steve (Except against us ) He got injured. Then went NL to rebuild his confidence. For this season he wanted to help Richie out in Poland, so that ruled out a return to Brough Park. I for one am really pleased that he's doing well.

I mean how could he do this and ride all three leagues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't 'sacked' he just had a crisis in confidence and said he was going to take the rest of the year break from the PL and come back next year. Unfortunately he went to the wrong team (Just kidding, I'm glad to see he is back to his best ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
