BRITISHSPEEDPOWER Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 aye Doolan nearly set about him and shoved him off the bike afterwards Funny stuff, But can't be good for team spirit! Gotta say Bellego is riding like a bit of a nutter at times this season..Can't knock his effort though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doolan should maybe have saved his tantrum till he got back to the pits ,it certainly didn't looked very nice to display it in public with TEAM MATE.Ps Give me 7 Bellego's anyday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodiepatchie Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Which Newcastle team will we see tomorrow ? The bad one or the good one More to the point which Bandits team will we see? Hopefully not the disgracefull performance when we were last at Brough which is still the worst Bandits performance I have ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Not the most eventful of meetings, but a good thumping start to the league campaign. Long may it continue! Steen is certainly living up to pre-season expectations, what a fantastic rider to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrianDog Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 No need, just a clear rule and a referee with a decent set of gonads to put that rule into force, for example in last weeks meeting with Workington, Ht15 was stopped for Vissing moving at the start, which he was. The re-run was allowed to go, but IMO Vissing did exactly the same thing in the re-run as he did in the first staging. Maybe we should go back to concrete starts where the is little advantage in one gate over the other three. When was this- it sounds like a brill idea- did it last long and why was it dropped. Updates available here- http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/13245/berwick-newcastle-pl-2014-7pm Or you could have just followed the match updates on the Diamonds website- pity more clubs do not do this.

Normski Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 cant believe how lack lustre Newcastle were tonight although to be fair the Bandits for a change were jumping out of the starts.No doubt when sky planned there agenda for live meetings they probably thought Newcastle would have a strong team can see tuesdays live meeting being a cricket score.As for the Bandits a lot more solid from 1-6 hopefully we will put on a better performance at Brough than last seasons farce.

HadrianDog Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I was very disappointed in Newcastle thought they would have at least taken a point. First team to come to Berwick this year and make us look quite good. If I was a Newcastle fan I'd be worried cause the Bandits are no great shakes. Many a Diamonds fan has been worried since the ITT debacle. Maybe when Robbo moves to no 1, the real Ludo will bring cakes to his homecoming party. you should be, we were absolutely shocking tonight.... Second best all night... In most races we were 3 or 4 lengths behind by the first bend... NJC is right we arnt strong enough and IMO need to make changes if possible, because this team isnt going nowhere fast.... It wasn't even competitive tonight. Barring robbo, I think the other 6 need to be looking over their shoulders and certainly looking in the mirror. Other than down the pan. This team was saved last season by a powerful reserve with a big tub of polyfilla , but our management seemed to be hoping for the same. Was hoping to see Richie become another Kenni L. but alas he moved on. But he had made his Polish intentions clear by mid season, so some forward thinking might have been nice. I wonder where we were leaning prior to the intro of Anton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers taken by the Comets tonight-not sure how good this team really is-but I suppose on home shale- Robbo and Ludo will have ridden the track, but our other five? God help us. From a league coverage viewpoint, I hope both teams can put on a good even show for the cameras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMONDS Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Changes have to be made to the Newcastle team but what? How well does Kauko Nieminen ride Brough? (Or Magnus Karlsson?) Edited April 27, 2014 by DIAMONDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Steen is certainly living up to pre-season expectations, what a fantastic rider to watch. Guess he looks good racing against a poor team. Didn't look so good against Edinburgh! Newcastle have had good teams the past few seasons but Lindgren at number one says it all. Lucky if he's a third heat leader never mind a number one! Also Kerr now in the team and not at reserve is being found out.

Tsunami Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Poor performance from all 7 Diamonds in the first 7 heats, when they could not get out of the blocks. Every heat, bar when Kerr jumped the start, it was two banks of two with both Diamonds at the back by about 5 metres. At Berwick you can't pass at the best of times, and it was very processional so when you don't gate, you get beat. How, or why, it changed I don't know, but Christian, after two bad gates, shot out in heat 8 and hung on for the win. That seemed like the corner had turned until heat 13, when Doolan and Vissing got the better of Ludde on the first band and second bend and that was it. Plenty of talk of changes, but it seemed like it was everybody but Robbo, who is back to his imperial best especially on the TR in heat 12 and heat 15 when he swept round decent opponents, who had a bit of a natter and a bit of elbows after the race. Not nice to see, and the first two pairings of the Bandits look as if both need changing. I don't think the Diamonds racing was at fault, but their pre heat 8 gating really was juvenile standard. Not good enough. Berwick were solid all night with some very good riding, but we weren't in some of those races unfortunately. If the team gates in future meetings, I don't think there is that much of a problem and things will sorts themselves but if they repeat last night's gating we will be in a little bother. Pity about the Newcastle calloff due to a waterlogged track, but I honestly think we would have done to them what they did to us last night. Perhaps having the break before Tuesday will give them all time to reflect on their individual fortunes from last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How very dare you come on here and tell us the racing was processional, that isn't allowed....👍. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMONDS Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Karlsson riding and scoring well in Poland on sundays, he wont be at Newcastle. Ahh didn't know that, thanks though Loves riding Brough, but admits himself he doesn't normally score well round there. Is he worth a look in then if current situations don't improve, think he has a 7.25 average or will it have decreased since he left Leicester at the end of last year How well does Max Dilger (even though he is an ex-bear ) or Facundo Albin ride at Brough?
