Shadders Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 No thread for this that I can find, even though the meeting starts in 3 hours!! Can't make this unfortunately as B4E had a midwife appointment this afternoon. Hope we can keep it close and perhaps nick a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Cross Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Were Plymouth that good or were Rye House that bad? Ive come away thinking that Plymouth got away with it last night. Â Kennet was, as expected, superb,except for being shafted by 2 poor refereeing decisions. Boxall, Garrity and Greenwood had their moments,but that was it. Mellgren and Bunyan should hang their heads in shame.Shocking. Bowen after his nasty fall in Ht1, then getting disqualified, didnt really get going. Â I hope I dont offend Devildodger here, but Ht1 needs explaining in more detail than on updates. Â Both Bowen and Newman gate with neither giving an inch.Bowen tried to move Newman over, who wasnt having it.As they came off bend 2, Bowen,slightly behind,clipped Newman and high sided in to the air fence,only just catching the last panel. Newman got pushed into the kickboards,lifting wildly and almost being sent onto the centre green. Â Meanwhile, Barker and Kennett tangled behind these 2. I dont know exactly what happened, as I was watching the other 2. Barker and Bowen down for ages,thankfully both getting back up. Â Somehow or other, the referee declares a rerun with all 4! Â In the rerun,Bowen rightfully disqualified for bringing Barker off on turn 4, even though,imo, he shouldnt have been in the race anyway! Â In the rerun, Barker gets a flyer. Even Concorde wouldnt have beaten him,it was that obvious.Newman continues, but Kennett slows expecting a rerun. Shocking decision from Mr Entwistle. Â Ht7 was superb speedway. In the 1st running, Garrity got a flier, equal to Barkers in Ht1, but this one got called back! In the rerun, both Franc and Garrity were side by side for all 4 laps, each giving each other room to race.You could tell they both enjoyed it, as they enthusiastically shook hands down the back straight afterwards. Â Ht15 was a definite case of all 4 back. Barker and Newman gated, Barker went from the inside and moved out to exit turn 2 out wide,no doubt anticipating a blast from Kennett. Newman had by then had almost locked up to cover the inside gap.Kennett off gate 4, had nowhere to go,expect down. Far more of a case of all 4 back than Ht1. Â Plymouth Herald should be ashamed of their meeting report. It gives me the impression the reporter wasnt even there. Lots of facts are incorrect, and has even incorrectly quoted comments from the Liveupdates page! For instance, in Ht1, he says Kennett got a flier but pulls up! Very poor from them. Still I suppose with football returning, what should I expect?

springdale Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Yes, very poor sounds nothing like the match I watched last night, but you often find when you read the updates of a meeting it's not what you watched, sightly biased view from the home paper or updater probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Without being there, but seeing the Rockets regularly away from home I can pretty much guarantee that the Devils only had to turn up to win. To say we've been disappointing this year is an understatement. Only Edward Kennett can be absolved from and criticism. The rest have been very hit and miss, mostly miss. Only Anders Mellgren can be excused as he has a metal rod in his back and is understandably not 100% focused.
