screm Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 So come on witches fans, what's up with rohan? Over rated? Slow bikes? Best bikes somewhere else? Or just a gater that's struggling to do that. Cant speak for any other meetings but on last night he was slow from the gate and not much quicker thereafter which given his previous Shielfield performances was probably the difference in Ipswich collecting some points than not, he must be better than his performance last night.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 So come on witches fans, what's up with rohan? Over rated? Slow bikes? Best bikes somewhere else? Or just a gater that's struggling to do that. Seems to be bikes, but he looked superb at Mortens testimonial meeting, slighty different style and quick out of the corners. So whats the difference now? Can't think his best bikes are elsewhere as he hasn't ridden in Poland since April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Another big score for vissing as well... looking good for unibax berwick. Unibax, don't make laugh, surely we are better as Falubaz Berwick Bandits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAMYAMBANDIT Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thouroughly enjoyed the meeting on Sat, I told you Matej Kus would get there, still have faith in Liam Carr, he needs to relax, he is trying so hard, it is too hard. A criticism, the track has been good every week, sadly not last Saturday, get it back to what you had been doing until Saturday, in particular the 3rd & 4 th bend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track not bad, but definitely concern on bends 3/4. I have seen in the past a rider who races for his home town club does not always work. Liam did better away from pressures at Edinburgh and sadly maybe that is what he needs, not necessarily Edinburgh?? His NL club Buxton have hardly ridden either which wont help. It is a confidence sport of course and a results sport. Can Berwick continue to keep Liam and what at present is very low scoring.sadly from him Looking at averages in Berwick programme he has 6 points in 20 races. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigeddiechek Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I agree, it is right to give Liam a good shot at PL, he is popular with the fans too. A bit of patience and continued support will see him develop well. I think he has also had a bit of bad luck with gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not beat about the bush here if our No1 would find a bit of form the pressure would not be on Liam as Jensen is doing the job he was brought into do which was cover for Liam while he learns the ropes at this level.Kevin has been disappointing IMO.Still we are getting results so no doubt I better run for cover with the flak that will be coming.

From where I'm sitting, the rider you want rid of is just one of six guys with almost-equal averages, all of whom ride to, or above, their figures every meeting. Who cares who wears a number one on his back? Berwick's strength-in-depth has them 100% in the league so far, what does it matter who scores most points? If the new averages bring you a different No 1, will your whipping boy then be acceptable as No 2, 3 or 4 in the club's averages? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing really wrong with the team, Doolan not riding to average, but has had some rubbishe luck with equipment, trouble when you are not getting the point money in the 1st place, it's hard to afford the repairs needed.

But the average statistic becomes ever more accurate the more data you use (think about how the denominator changes), thus rolling averages must be less susceptible to "inflation". Did I not say all winter, Liam would need a lot of help with equipment to help him succeed. The talent is there, equipment is not. You did indeed, and I think you are correct. If I had the cash, I would definitely back him, but I just don't have the means at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate, that in an area like Berwick & The Borders, there is not a lot of cash. My hope was where people like myself can help we do. then less fortunate could club together with small amounts to create a larger sum, which would help. Something like the 2012 group do, and what a great job they do, and I know it is appreciated from our riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a group together, agree a small weekly donation and ensure it goes to riders on Berwick's books such as Liam Carr and Stefan Farnaby. Sometimes the bigger scorers get the bigger hand-outs, when the strugglers need it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you havn't noticed, I already sponsor Liam, aswell as Matej and David, and of course Leon Flint, not about scores for me, it's helping the ones that need help. I do what I can, perhaps someone LIKE YOURSELF, should put your head over the parapit and do something, instead of asking the ones that do, to do more.
