Dekker Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Richie was so far off the pace he wouldve needed the fifth lap at race speed to catch them - Cook was right on their tails for the 4 laps. You dont need to give the winner a hug and send them flowers just a quick acknowledgement will do - even one given grudgingly through gritted teeth. typical twitcher whiner, cookie didn't shake hands so what, plenty of ippo riders no doubt have been just as petulant even a team manager in the last year or 2. get a grip people! LOL your the one bunching your knickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Always the blue & white blinkers at Ippo. In my opinion Justin was way clear of Gina in heat 8 when the Yank bailed out. And the incident was very similar to heat 13 when Sam was ridden into the thick stuff by Tungate and bailed out. There was consistency in both decisions, they were both wrong. Seems to me you have the blue, white and yellow blinkers on. The incident with Sam Masters was no different to the one in heat 12 when Steve Worrall moved Morten out into the thick stuff on bend one, the only difference is Morten stayed on whereas Sam bailed out. I think you will also find it was Richie Worrall who moved Sam out and not Tungate. Concerning heat 8 at the speed Justin went into bend 3 and how narrow he went in the only way he was getting round the turn was to use Gino as a bumper as you saw as he was still out of control after Gino went down. Surprised Ritchie didn't get a warning but hey it is Barbara Horley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyH Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Great effort from the Monarchs to remain unbeaten in their toughest test yet. Seems a bit of a lottery when only three heat winners came from gate 4 with none from gate 2. It's the same for both teams but is this normal for the Ippo track or just how it happened last night?

Mr Blobby Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Basically because it is craig cook we are going to make a big song and dance about it if was any other rider we wouldn't be having this ridiculous discussion right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that point of view its good - the sport needs 'villans' for the opposition to boo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamlad Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 So his attitude stinks because he is disappointed and annoyed that he didn't win? Just shows he is ambitious and wants to go out and win races nothing wrong with being angry and annoyed at getting beat. Anyway disappointed we didn't get the win couple of falls cost us a point but still unbeaten after 14 matches. Hopefully we will make it 15 tomorrow against the tigs. Remember Vince Lombardi? "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser." Cookie is not riding to his normal high standard at the moment. But he'll get back to that level again. I didn't see Richie shaking hands with Cookie or Justin in heat 1. Cook is an absolute tool on and off the track, his ego makes Blackpool Tower look small . Can't handle getting beat, to watch him struggle against Swindon, thought it might bring him down a peg or two.....obviously not going by his usual antics last night. Was a likeable lad when he first rode for Workington. Reached his peak in EL , never be anything other than a good 2 or 4 at that level, dream on Cookstar !!!!

Bit of a daft statement. Cook is the best rider in the league and wins probably 90% of his races. Needs to learn how to be a good loser. We wouldnt be having this discussion if it was say Max Fricke as he doesnt win almost every race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant say i know the bloke so cant comment. All i can say is what i saw last night he has a very bad attitude, to bigheaded. That said i would like his scoring power in the Premier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I see there is No comment about cookie's interview. We was very magnanimous about Risager after losing to him. Said he was a good rider and No disgrace losing to him. Also read out a birthday dedication for a fan's 60th birthday. Doesn't fit the agenda though does it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Re the interview - very commendable. Although I do seem to recall something along the lines of 'I made so many mistakes in that race I shouldve done what I did on the last lap earlier and I wouldve got past' As for an agenda - lol.

Doesn't fit the agenda though does it? did you hear the whole interview? said he made mistakes and if he had rode properly like he did in lap 4 he would have won. he is big headed ebd of discussion. oh he read out a 60th birthday dedication what that has to do with being a sore loser is beyond me.

me2 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Jeez guys, you dropped points at home in a match you could have won. Three of your riders only scored six points between them on their home track and your biggest concern is Cook went to the pits without French kissing the winner! Good to see your priorities are in order. Concentrate on your own shortcomings and let us worry about the petulant one. Yours sincerely Mr Smug Headinbra.

lionheart Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 After 2 or 3 dismal showings for Belle Vue, I imagine that Cook is feeling the pressure, which goes some way towards explaining his frame of mind. Having said that, as someone has already said, he needs to grow up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hey Ippo check your own glass house before breaking our windows...... Cookie can be petulant and is "struggling" at 5 with BV, I`d agree. No-one enjoys losing and there is a certain decorum with sprotsmanship in dangerous sports like ours. No big deal if Cookie turned round rather than high five Ritchie and Tungate, i`m sure Ritchie will rib him on Monday in the Bv pits, as he would be entitled to. Still some bad blood after last years handbags with Ben Bonkers I see, which is a pity. Nevermind, if we meet in the playoffs Cookie will be sure to snog the main stand, and all available wall heaters, if requested in writing beforehand. 5 points from our 2 meetings is very acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Come on witches fans, get over yourselves. So what if cook didn't acknowledge anyone, I've seen many of our riders not do it to. Maybe cook can be a bit grumpy, but that's because he expects more from himself. I would have him as my number 1 everyday. As has been said, maybe we should be paying more attention to our underperforming riders that were a let down. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
