mervjankefanclub Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Just seen Cook's selfie on FaceCook. Does he never learn? Join the Defence? .... more like Join the Dots! The punters who are taking it to heart and having a pop are as bad as he is, George. It's exactly the kind of over-top-reaction he is after. A phrase you will read a few times before the big race next weekend..."no class - best ignored" Springs to mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george.m Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Minions Official Website plays up to the support, keeping the bitter and twisted tone of the last week going ..... The Tigers are missing number one Richard Lawson who was racing for Lakeside in their lunchtime home fixture. He, impressively, scored a paid maximum in that match. Just a shame that he couldn't have jumped on a plane to be with us tonight Erm. Something he might just be needing .... bikes! It's a bit of banter Seriously?

Thought Glasgow had first dibs on Lawson, after buying him outright? and it was only Sarjeant and Morris who they would lose through doubling up?

I'm sure Mr Porkie Pie teller will know for sure as he polices t'internet these days.

screm Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Just seen Cook's selfie on FaceCook. Does he never learn? Join the Defence? .... more like Join the Dots! To be fair to Cook its been a tweet posted by Edinburgh Speedway then retweeted by Cook, clearly their trying to get this "Join the defence" thing going, and if it gets a reaction, people talking then it cant be a bad thing. Maybe it will be Glasgow`s chance to do the same this time next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thought Glasgow had first dibs on Lawson, after buying him outright? and it was only Sarjeant and Morris who they would lose through doubling up? With Lakeside riding in an official meeting & ours no more than a friendly we probably agreed with Lakeside to let him ride there but any future fixture clashes then we have priority as his parent club.

george.m Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 After the new palacial surroundings last week it's down to earth with a bump tonight at the Armadale Begging Bowl. Must remember to wipe my feet on the way out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hutcheson Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 There was some decent entertainment tonight, a lot closer than I would have liked. Thought the conditions were a little tough and caught even a few of the experienced riders out. As I said shortly after his arrival, Victor looks like a decent prospect at reserve, and could definitely score some decent points. The monarchs reserves have shown promise so far as well. I'm still hoping agents new engines turn up pronto! I noticed the drunken tiger on the third bend stoated off before heat 13. Obviously as with Sunday, he knew what was coming, although this time they couldn't call it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Minions Official Website plays up to the support, keeping the bitter and twisted tone of the last week going ..... Try reading 'Tapes Up' in the programme, George. Very good meeting Local derby, reasonably close result (it would have been closer still if Morris, Lawson and Sarjeant had ridden), good racing, no injuries, decent crowd and all over in 90 minutes. Masters (who might well take over from Cook as No 1 this season, no-one got near him), Branford & Palovaara all impressive.

george.m Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Not the most entertaining night's racing I've seen at the West Lothian Wok, but still good to have the speedway season under way. Left tonight with a feeling of optimism for future Tiger visits with some good performances from our lads. Victor was the surprise package with two wins and has found a way of getting round the Dale. Dimitri grew in confidence and another who's found the way of getting round, albeit he needs to do so much quicker in future. Aaron looked good as you'd expect. Kozza obviously performs better on wider open spaces. As for our guests, Kenneth gave a reasonable showing; Agent Stevie didn't look anything like the rider of last year; and Ellis tried his best. With our full septet tonight, a shock win could well have been on the cards. For the Minions, Masters took over where he left off on Sunday and if he continues in this form will have an excellent season. Sedgmen impressed. Two Kevs ... well. I've not seen enough of Riss to comment and it's too early to judge. The reserves look promising and with more experience will be strong at home - especially Rob who impressed all evening. And finally, One Man and His Dog. He'll be virtually unbeatable at home this year, even when Aaron passed him in Heat 10 he had enough in the tank to reel him in and pass with ease. His only dropped points coming in Heat 15 (first bike - problems) when he struggled with a patch of the track - twice. Perhaps he should watch next time where his dog cocks its leg and avoid the damp patches! It's good to have speedway back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Harsh on STEVIE George..... He lost to Sam in 4 Cook and Sedgy in 6 team rode Pavlova to a 5_1in 9 and had no chance in 13. Visiting 5s will struggle to better that Do you think Morris would do better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still hoping agents new engines turn up pronto! I noticed the drunken tiger on the third bend stoated off before heat 13. Obviously as with Sunday, he knew what was coming, although this time they couldn't call it off! I have to admit the Drunk was out of order, swearing and giving the finger to all Monarchs rider, and to Stevie Worrall who was riding for his team, biggest disappointment was all the young kids around, especially the two standing close to me who were new to Speedway.....Glasgow may have spend £900k this year, but they need to weed out this lout, before he turns off families, with young kids, who it has to be remembered are the future. But not a bad meeting, Sam, Sedgy and Cookie were excellent, Agent need his new engines, but did look good coming from the back, Erik, will come good, as he put lots of effort in and has a great style, Rob had a great night, and could have had more points.....but the improvement in Young Max from last year is really quite superb and they will be lots more to come from him and Rob.....well done lads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I but they need to weed out this lout, before he turns off families, with young kids, who it has to be remembered are the future. Glad you take so much interest in the future of Glasgow speedway - very refreshing! Likewise Edinburgh need to weed out the mature woman who got very territorial about the space around her in the 4th bend covered area on Sunday - for the whole meeting. Deliberately standing down from her "space" between heats to deliberately block the through fare to put people off from walking past. Then taking it upon herself to rap my wife repeatedly with her programme because she couldn't see. Then accusing the missus of standing on her foot when she'd hadn't. Then accusing me of deliberately standing in front of her to block her view when I hadn't. Much to the embarrassment of one Monarch couple standing beside her. All done in front of a ten year old who found the whole episode highly amusing. As we all did and those around us. So if you want to sit on the moral high ground and give advise, (because you're not point scoring are you?) get your own house in order first. And please, do us both a favour by not trying to explain, justify, deny what happened when you weren't even there. And do yourself a favour by not saying her behaviour wasn't as bad as the drunk, neither are acceptable.

Mr Blobby Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 thats trophy number 1 retained. good nights racing considering it was the first of the season. Cookie, Sam and sedgy as expected. Wolbert, Rob and Max once they get their gating sorted they will be fine got the speed just couldn't get out the tonight. Riss was promising wasn't off the pace and got round the track smoothly. Once all the boys get the gating sorted and Erik gets going most teams will take a beating When the tigers come back for real stuff we will give them a good beating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Considering they were missing nearly half their side I should think Glasgow will be well satisfied with that, something of a moral victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
