Gavan Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 A. Lambert was was rightly excluded B. Heat 14 was rightly awarded. Well done the referee. And no Lakeside isnt as good a racetrack as Lynn or Peterboriugh but 2 evenly matched teams can lead to good close racing anywhere. Great called by the ref common sense at last .. not sure why teams on the end of the 5-1 on the first couple laps don't do what Eliis did all the time . spot on.....just lay it down if you are a long way behind and stay down get a re run. It needs stamping out. Well done Jim Lawrence. Also well done to all the Lakeside fans on here who accepted it as the right decision as they understand the sport. Can you imagine if it was Poole and some of there barmy army on here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 If a home team loses by less that 7 and the winning away team has used a tactical ride to do so then I think the home team should be awarded 1 point and the away team 2.

semion Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 The key to it now is get the bike laid down on lap 2, then see if the Ref awards it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Nick Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 what i find funny is that Middlo has took to twitter saying Lambert shouldnt have been excluded only to find himself ridiculed and shot down in flames by everyone including the Lynn fans who acepted and understand the ruling. Middlo needs to learn to stay off twitter. Good meeting and well done the referee Interesting comment. I read the twitter feed concerned and what I read differs somewhat from your post. What I read was Middlo saying he thought outside assistance meant people assisting the rider by pushing or touching his bike. What then followed was a decent twitter debate on the ins and outs of the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, quite agree. Despite Gavan's usual denial that he does it, his obsession to have a go at at Poole at every opportunity is quite tedious and embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Taken from the EDP...... He would love to give Lambert the point to keep things even !!! What kind of comment is that for a ref to make. http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/kings-lynn-stars/outside_assistance_controversy_fails_to_halt_in_form_king_s_lynn_stars_at_lakeside_hammers_1_3607554 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJC Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Is it just me that saw the nudge at the start from Lawson (prefectly within his right to do so) and then the slowing from lambert and beline made to squeeze through a gap that wsasnt there towards lawson as they hit the gate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I quite enjoyed watching on Sky because the result was in doubt until the very end, but as for 'decent racing', I'm not sure I would agree?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Disspointing night on several fronts tonight. The utter lack of atmosphere caused by the low turnout was noticeable. I appreciate that's down to the match being on TV. What's not excusable is the continued throwing away of league points. I don't know what the answers are, but something has to change if we're serious about a title challenge. As for the tactical ride points, well what can I say? Maybe they should make the tactical rider wear a jester's hat on top of his helmet, as befits the JOKE rule. In the end, despite all our shortcomings, if this rule did not exist we WOULD have won. At the end of the season Kings Lynn will have 2 additional points in the table, and we'll have 2 less, as a direct result of this ridiculous rule. That may prove crucial. This isn't sour grapes, I genuinely despise this rule. Congrats to the Stars for a good battling performance, and a tip of the hat to Niels Kristian Iversen for one of the most dominant performances ever seen at the Raceway. No you wouldn't have won, as if the rule hadn't come into being, you would have been using the old tactical sub rule. You'd probably have lost by more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 really enjoyed the meeting - well done Kings Lynn... Thought the ref was spot on and should be applauded for this stance on cheating... PUK was awesome..... Well said. I cant believe that some are debating the Heat 14 decision. Ellis deliberately dropped it to try get a re run. That`s a no no and should always be awarded when riders blatantly try and cheat like that. Vatcher should have a word with his riders because on the one hand he thought Bridger had chance to catch the Stars reserve however Ellis clearly felt not as he dropped it knowing Bridger wasn't gaining. Ref got both decision 100% correct. If Lambert seriously doesn't know as a first instinct to push home for a point then he can have no argument as to being excluded. He messed about on the track THEN went to the pit gate before then being told to finish the race. Yet again another no no. No. The point I am saying is Bridger could of passed Kerr as there was still 2 laps of the race to be completed. Yet wasn't gaining in the first 2 laps. Correct call. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting comment. I read the twitter feed concerned and what I read differs somewhat from your post. What I read was Middlo saying he thought outside assistance meant people assisting the rider by pushing or touching his bike. What then followed was a decent twitter debate on the ins and outs of the rule. his statement was ' doesnt matter as long as no one toughed his bike, its a point no arguement' that to me shows he didnt know the rule before commenting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 For young Adam Ellis to try that in front of TV camera's was extremely stupid, and very sad to see. The Lambert incident was almost as farcical as the ridiculous double points rule which is nothing more than a joke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite Gavan's usual denial that he does it, his obsession to have a go at at Poole at every opportunity is quite tedious and embarrassing. How is it having a go at Poole. Could have been any team boss on twitter but it was Middlo again putting himself up for a fall. and if the poole fans get touchy about light hearted banter they need to take a look at themselves. i was applauding the conduct of the lakeside fans The comments Middlo made were on the Lakeside v Kings Lynn match which is what this thread is so why shouldnt someone comment on what he wrote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Well maybe that will shut up the so called experts on here who always moan bout the Lakeside track it was a good meeting. Iversen was superb and remember no Bjerre and effectively one reserve. Defiantly the outstanding team this season. Ref got both decisions right in my eyes and being an Ipswich fan I was disappointed in Adam basically cheating. Tatum proved what a clown he is by condoning it. Then fair play to Vatcher who agreed with the decision and made Tatum out to be the prat he is.What Ellis did ( i have never rode speedway can we prove it was deliberate? maybe it could of been a engine issue) has happened in our sport for years it is nothing new what Tatum says is Correct.This rule seems decent the referee can use his discretion Lynn on a 5.1 in that race did not deserve to be punished so justice was done.

bigcatdiary Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 And no Lakeside isnt as good a racetrack as Lynn or Peterboriugh but 2 evenly matched teams can lead to good close racing anywhere. Whilst it was entertaining I would take issue with you that it was good racing, it was awful on a super slick track and if you missed the gate you lost. Watching Watt chase Lambert for 4 laps confirmed that. The other talking points was their didn't look more than a few hundred watching and clearly niether of the team managers knew the rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
