Paulco Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good luck Theo , we should have had him back really . Good solid pro . Might not be the most flashy , but he's dependable home or away . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Away ? Yes , away . Ok he had the odd blip , every rider does , I remember even the mighty Shane Parker scoring 2 at Exeter . But one that really sticks out in my mind with Theo was an amazing performance at Berwick last year , on a track that was borderline dangerous . Theo might not get you double figures everytime away from home , but he'll weigh in with useful points in general . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any doubters out there best get on board now. Theos Glasgows No1! He does score points most tracks hes a great signing by the club. Lets get right behind this exciting Scorpions 2015 team!. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANSE Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 His away average from 19 meetings was 5.63 does not include double or bonus points.Half off these meetings were from positions 2 or 4 and the rest from position 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANSE Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 .I would say Glasgows top 4 at this stage in their careers are better than Theo. You can have a 6 point average by winning heat 8 and 3 third places in your other rides we are looking for better my opinionl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very reliable rider and i like most others thought that Theo should have been back once he is dialled in to EWR he will not let you down away form is ok but not great but can come up with the big ride just when it is needed all the best to Theo down Scunny way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the final analysis Theo posted an identical average to Tommy Gun = 7.09. We cannot say; oh well we would rather have TG on that average; its not an option. In the circumstances to pick up an experienced; well equipped No1 rider; that we can tuck in the second string. at this late stage is a "trick" even Dynamo might struggle with. So well done Rob and team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So well done Rob and team. Maybe not a trick as such as Theo was always avaliable for any team that could fit him in and that place became an option at Scunthorpe he was alway's going to get snapped up sooner or later but Theo is no more a 2nd or 3rd heatleader as back up he was only No 1 last season due to our real No 1 being absolute gash but he will not let you down he is and will continue to be a very reliable performer good piece of business as a short term replacement for Douglas. And it really wouldn't surprise me if Theo retains his place even when Douglas is fit and someone else is sacrificed he really is that reliable.

You can have a 6 point average by winning heat 8 and 3 third places in your other rides we are looking for better my opinion General opinion on here seems to be that the brethren aren't with you in dropping Pijper. Morris and Lawson are genuine No 1's and its unfair to compare TP with them, he is after all a third heat leader and even rode at reserve for us in 2011. As for Summers and Smith, can only disagree. Summers is one that still baffles me and only his age and non work permit status seems to be in his favour of signing him, never mind buying him as an asset. He will never be a rider of the standard of Pijper IMO, though for this season I think he'll be the Richard Sweetman of 2011 with his shortcomings likely over looked in a strong side. We still have Kozza unable to enter the country and who knows what preparation he may have done if any for the new season bearing in mind he may be refused a work permit. Pijper could have filled that slot for this season anyway and we could have gone after Kozza for 2016 after all money talks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
