Edinburgh V Berwick (ko-cup-2nd Leg) 25/7/14 @ 7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Berwick just weren't at the races, thank god for heats 4, and 10, as the rest were over by the 3rd bend, just like all 15 races at Shielfield.

I just wish the Bandits riders made the gate more often, as it would have been more entertaining watching the Monarchs riders hunting them down.

Whilst the score was very one sided I felt there were 2 good races (not decided on the first lap), as opposed to none on Wednesday

No no come on, Doolans doing really well, and Harrison is coming to us after scoring big last time out, and Carr can get round Armadale. :lol:

 

What would you really expect a press release to say? They have to try and be positive, even when it was an impossible task

 

we were always going to get hammered toight so its no surprise at all, its the strongest Edinburgh team in years against a weakened Berwick team. I'm just glad weve come away with no injuries, Lets just move on by taking all 3 points tomorrow at home and hopefully take something at Glasgow on Sunday

Now that is the way to look at thing's getting 30 at the Dump is a major achievement these day's i think most if not all want to put there Armadale experience behind them and move on to racing on a fairer circuit not saying it is a bad track just very favourable in it's advantage to the home team.

Now now tonight's meeting was an absolute classic raced on the finest track in Europe! Seriously tonight was no different to Wednesday in most aspects other Edinburgh passed Berwick riders when the odd time the bandits got in front and then proceeded to make mistakes. If pumping every team in sight every week is your thing then Armadales the place to be! Just to add Berwick were mince as per round Armadale no complaints no excuses

Pretty poor stuff from Berwick and this Edinburgh side is far from unbeatable at home as a patched up Panthers showed.

 

The cup final will be close but the Panthers will win due to our superior mentality so enjoy this semi-final victory but realize what's going to happen in the final isn't going to be a pretty sight.

 

It will be a one-sided demolition job and there's nothing you can do about it.

Think there are one or two Bandits riders need to take a long hard look at themselves and think about who pays their wages this is a shocking display even by our usual standards.

Thats the worst away score at Edinburgh this year knew we would not win but that was diabolical.

Genuine question for Edinburgh fans. Do you honestly enjoy thrashing team after team, week after week? Must be so boring watching most opposing riders struggling to get round.

Been there and done that in the PL at Lynn, wears thin rather quickly.

If only every team came with the attitude that Peterborough had, where it took a last to first in heat 15 from Craig Cook to seal all 3 points (that was with Ryan Fisher scoring 0 from 2 as well)

Maybe it isn't so much to do with the track, but the fact our team are very good this year, especially at home?

Whenever we have a poor side everyone seems to get around it well then, as numerous home defeats over the years have proved!!

Agree there is nothing wrong with the track it's just the attitude of the visiting riders.The Monarchs are a good team though.I have seen a lot of good racing at Armadale irrespective of the score line
