LagutaRacingFan Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Coventry have got rid of MJJ not Hans  Hans is finished sadly, He's a pale shadow of his former self. I remember the Hans of 06.. full of arrogance and quick from the start.  Whenever Hans is racing on TV, I change the channel as it saddens me to see him like this.. He's still a very good rider but the Hans I remember was a man who could walk on water.  This was the real Hans Andersen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0KtztEq6D0 Edited August 29, 2014 by Morrissey Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoombdog Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Everything is falling into place for the Wiltshire massive isn't it. I looked at Eastbournes fixtures today. Wolves and BV are winnable and they will win both home matches. Got a feeling they will pip us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 When I watch MJJ, I see a class rider, who can mix it with the best. Sometimes, he's that smooth it appears he not trying. on his day he is simply awesome. definitely a world class rider. Whereby, Barker puts in the effort, looks harsh and awkward. appears to be given his all, but his results are not that impressive. Â If I had to choose between them, I'd take the class anytime.

yellowandblack Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Lynn won't get a better chance to win it. Coventry and Poole have lost their two best riders through acts of foolishness from Mick Horton and Darcy Ward  Has Jason gone? When I watch MJJ, I see a class rider, who can mix it with the best. Sometimes, he's that smooth it appears he not trying. on his day he is simply awesome. definitely a world class rider. Whereby, Barker puts in the effort, looks harsh and awkward. appears to be given his all, but his results are not that impressive.  If I had to choose between them, I'd take the class anytime.  Class is good to watch for a neutral...and MJJ certainly has it.  but as a supporter of the team that I want to win a meeting then I would have to rank the following a bit higher  ...bravery, grit, determination, tenacity, will power, motivation, effort, team spirit, selflessness, persistence.....etc.  Barker scores higher on each of these qualities than MJJ.

van wolfswinkel Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Swindon can win all their remaining matches and are certainly the form team at the moment with North Dakota and Kid Morra on fire, once Killer is back the rest should be worried. Think Poole with Darcia can beat Swindon over 2 legs, but Cov and KL are beatable now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 It appears fate is having a bigger input as to the winners of the league, than ever before. With a barely a couple weeks left , who knows what's going to happen. Â After what happened to Niels last night, the only sure thing is : 'You'll have to be in it, to Win it' Â It wouldn't surprise me if fate has another hand to play yet ????????

I know we haven't always agreed on things GRW123, but I sincerely hope NKI is back fit asap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 As others have said, things seem to be opening up nicely for the rocking ones if they can keep their 1-7 fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I thought I was the only one who looked at the league table this way! But yes good to hear there's at least 2 of us - you know it makes sense I've always thought this. In the past I used to post the +/- league table on a monthly basis but this season I have not done so even though I still keep a record. Hans is finished sadly, He's a pale shadow of his former self. I remember the Hans of 06.. full of arrogance and quick from the start. Â Whenever Hans is racing on TV, I change the channel as it saddens me to see him like this.. He's still a very good rider but the Hans I remember was a man who could walk on water. Â This was the real Hans Andersen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0KtztEq6D0 Might not be as wild as he was and perhaps not as exciting to watch but he is still one of the leagues big hitters and is still a genuine number 1 in this country at least but not in say Poland or Sweden whose teams are much stronger than ours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Funny how Bomber has never been a number 1 but Hans is. Bomber has a higher average than Hans in 2014! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 With all the problems being encountered by many of the contenders it seems the only thing that can stop Swindon now us to appoint Dave Robinson as ref for both legs of the final!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 No Worrall for Swindon in there must win match v Leics next week and no one to replace him means that Swindon hopes might be over . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion2010 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Looks like Swindon could be handed this title on a plate by the other teams being depleted with No Ward, NKI or Barker now. Â Shame as would have been a great play off semi/finals but due to the no replacement rules it means we may not get a proper finish to the season as the 3 best teams are now depleted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Shame as would have been a great play off semi/finals but due to the no replacement rules it means we may not get a proper finish to the season as the 3 best teams are now depleted We wont make it anyway. Worrall out on Sat means no points. Â Its an absolute travesty that teams cant replace injured riders after the deadline. For KL and Cov to be using sub standard guests just turns the whole thing in to a joke. Mind you with the ridiculous FTD rule at start of the year and the amount of guests and non facility weakened teams we have seen this year it was always going to end in farce. Eastbourne to win it and they will only make the play offs due to 8 points being handed to them by weakened Cov and Swindon teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
