dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Shocked how poor Somerset look so far. Witches have been hot but but Rebels way off the pace. Thank you Ritchie H for pulling out my number in the 400 club draw - not first prize but cheers anyway fella!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coomie Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 37 looks a bit opptamistic now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHayes Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Even 27 sounds optimistic. Surprised Garry May didn't use this as one of his tactical moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Now Somerset fans know how it feels to be on the end of a spanking. Can the Rockets take advantage of a shell shocked Rebels team tomorrow & Saturday? Can they f**k!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Wow, so they nearly all turned up in every heat! Ipswich were good, Somerset poor, and the track superb! Wasn't just gate and go either with some good first bends and some passes after that. Risager's pass of Brady Kurtz in 12 was top drawer. Tungate only one with a max but Manzares and Worrall so close. (Damm you Nick Morris in heat 15) Should be enough in the return leg but no Worrall or Ellis so.......?

Willowman Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Last year it was around 40 for a score away from home. Now it is the difference! Will be interested in what the excuses are tomorrow? Was looking forward to seeing how we do on the road. Now I'm not. Really really poor show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew2 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 May get shot down for this but i actually think the Rebels still have a reasonable chance to get through especially if we have the full team for the second leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Tonight the track was really grippy and Somerset never really got the hang of it . Great all round performance with everyone scoring well for the Witches ! You never know we might have half a chance of winning over the two legs but the overall result could well depend on the choice's of guests for Richie and Adam and how they perform . We've lost at their place by 40 already this year so anything is possible . Although I hate to say it I don't think this tie is over . I'm sure we can't as bad this time , can we ?

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Top effort all round- the sort of result you wish for but never expect to actually happen. Need to start solid in the return leg so as not to let them get a foothold and feel they have a chance. Mortens pass was the best of the season so far IMO.

cowboy cookie returns? Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Tonight was all about the result & us Ipswich fans should be pleased........the racing was not the best but it was great to see all 7 Ipswich riders turn up at the same match & they were so quick from the gate well done!

Baldyman Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Well I said we may need a 40 point lead, and we got it. Todd Kurtz really is one of most terrible visiting riders I have ever seen at Ipswich, and it wasn't just this visit either. Nearly wet myself when the presenter said Todd enjoys his visits to foxhall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Great performance from the lads. The grippy track made the Somerset riders look like novices, on the odd occasion they did make the gate, it didn't take long for our boys to pass them.

Cliffeboy Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 From most of the posts I`ve read it appears that the Rebels were seriously caught out by track conditions. This will not be the case at our place where the track will suit our guys and we will of course be at full strength. As the old saying goes it is only half time.In the last four matches we have hit 60 four times so that bodes well.I remember a couple of ago Scunny stuck 70 on us at their place, we then we hit them for 65 at ours.This does not take away anything from Ippo who have given us our first drubbing for a very long time,We were as poor as you were at our place , and you had 2 tacticals in your 40 point defeat and a full side, it ain`t over until it`s over, already looking forward to it lol. Gary May not a happy bunny on the Rebels web site. Return leg for superstitious Ippo fans and riders is Friday 13th.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking forward to seeing how we do on the road. Now I'm not. Really really poor show. Don`t agree WM I think we have done ok on the road so far. We have taken P/Boro, Redcar and Scunny to heat 15, beaten Newcastle and Rye and only lost by more than 6 four times, to Ippo twice. Worky and Plymouth. Not bad imo.

Arson fire Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Scoring 25 points in any meeting is a poor show... If Ippo can't score 26 in any meeting they want shot.... Christ they are guaranteed 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
