Najjer Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 There has been worse calls for first bend bunching that I have seen. So yeah i say first bend bunching. Plus why have there been multiple reports that king went to push him out? Does that not count as bunching????? Where are these multiple reports to?

Al Stewart Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 It was obvious that the Tungate decision was wrong. The Kurtz decision was right. And the right team won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Where are these multiple reports to? There are some comments on the rebels facebook page and also plenty who said it at the stadium. For the record Witches rode well but I am just miffed and saddened that the referee has made that decision. You still ignore the fact that there has been worse cases of where the rider falls on his own yet still comes back for all four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowman Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Another cracking pairs meeting. Heat 15 every single heat! Love it. Congratulations to the Witches and hard luck the Rebels. No gripe with the decision to exclude Brady in the final. Totally lost it big time and was unable to recover. Who on earth were those plonkers giving the ref so much grief from the fence near the start. What an embarassement to themselves and the club. The rest of us are not like them, I assure you. Disagree with the call for a change to the format of the final. Very unfortunate that it only requires a fall and the result is made but if there isn't, the format is consistent with the route to the final and still rewards the better pair. Have got to say Danny King is a credit to himself, his club and to speedway. Gave a good interview after the win and didn't gloat on the win despite the thrill of it. Rode perfectly all evening and did so as a pair in particular the semi. So many congratulations Ipswich, deserved winners.

Human nature took control. Without trying to sound snobby or anything i promise but I am a really nice person. Thing is I will always stand for what I believe in. I lost my cool and sorry if that upset you. Ipswich rode well of course they did but I believe it was the wrong call for a first bend incursion. Any other part of the track, fine. Thing that gets me mad though is I have seen similar incidents and it has been all 4 back. Edited July 3, 2015 by Brummie Rebel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 So if it was an ipswich rider that lost control of his own bike on his own. Would you then have been wanting an all 4 back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel'n'Back Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Well done to the winners this evening but I think some proper qualifying needs to happen, Sheffield out of it when the top of the PL averages is out due to injury? Maybe somat needs to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 So if it was an ipswich rider that lost control of his own bike on his own. Would you then have been wanting an all 4 back? I wouldn't say i would want it no as Ipswich isn't my team but I would have recognised the decision being all 4 back with no quarrel. This is my opinion and should be able to put it across. I apologise for losing my cool yes but its my opinion that the referee got it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Injustice again this year then? Or maybe not seeing its your team that won.no idea haven't seen the final. From reports it seems Kurtz lifted on his own and came off. However if it was the wrong decision I would admit it unlike last year when the wrong decision was played out in front of a tv audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomersetBlue Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 stop going on about Tungates fall then. The decision was wrong. The Kurtz one wasnt. That makes no sense seeing as I posted nothing about Tungate or his fall in heat 5 in that post. I was answering a question put to me. I said in the final if it was all 4 back and an ipswich rider fell I would have no quarrel. Which points to my main fact that everyone is ignoring, how many riders have fell off first bend and been called back throughout the history of speedway? Also something else to add on last night when some of us Rebels gave abuse to the ref (which i have already stated i was wrong for choice of words and that i lost my cool). People called us cretins (on fb) and plonkers but what about the Witches fans who were gathered out front giving abuse to somerset fans who passed? Is that not wrong aswell?

Najjer Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 stop going on about Tungates fall then. The decision was wrong. The Kurtz one wasnt. Only just caught back up on this thread, and was about to post the exact same thing. The only saving grace in the Tungate one was at least he had recieved a nudge prior to going down like a sack of spuds some time after. Kurtz was so wide nobody was remotely near him. Completely different incident as Kurtz had lifted and lost control of the bike. That makes no sense seeing as I posted nothing about Tungate or his fall in heat 5 in that post. I was answering a question put to me. I said in the final if it was all 4 back and an ipswich rider fell I would have no quarrel.

People called us cretins (on fb) and plonkers but what about the Witches fans who were gathered out front giving abuse to somerset fans who passed? Is that not wrong aswell? I didn't see anyone else giving any abuse to the ref - everyone up on the terracing by the refs box knew what the decision was going to be before it was announced. You still ignore the fact that there has been worse cases of where the rider falls on his own yet still comes back for all four. You are getting your 'facts' muddled up with 'opinions' - as that isn't a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not wrong aswell? how about accepting that you are wrong and stop being a bad loser. I wasn't there so I can't comment but even your fellow rebels fans are telling you that you are wrong. Just accept it and move on because your making yourself look a bit silly now. 2014 you were robbed of the pairs but it seems that this year you lost because of a right exclusion. All the bluster re Tungates fall earlier in the meeting has nothing to do with it. You don't simply give a second incorrect decision if you got the first one wrong which it seems Rohan should have been excluded. From all sources it seems Kurtz fell on his own so irrelevant of what part of the race it was he has to go or do you think that no matter if a rider falls on the first bend it's all 4 back? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 It would appear that a couple of decisions seem to have decided the outcome of this meeting , rightly or wrongly . Would the Witches have even made the final if Tungate had been excluded after his earlier fall ? We will never know . Apparently the correct decision was made in the final ( according to the vast majority , even most Rebels fans ) and that's the way the cookie crumbles as they say . Who was the ref anyway ? All I know is im very pleased we won !! and at least we have something to celebrate after a very indifferent start to the season . I will openly admit I would have definitely preferred to have Covatti to Tungate in the pairing prior to the meeting but I take it back now and say a massive :- WELL DONE TO " DANNY AND ROHAN " "PREMIER LEAGUE PAIRS CHAMPIONS" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 At the end of the day, I will leave it but I still stand by what I say right or wrong I am entitled to my opinion. I believe we were robbed again which was shared from others at the track last night. I do however as i said apologise on behalf of some rebels fans for our chosen words to the referee. I don't want that representing us Rebels fans. Myself and the Rebel fans are generally nice people, It happens to everyone in their life. Still no reason for the abuse and nose- rubbing from the witches fans on the roadside though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowman Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 If my memory serves me correctly the ref was Chris Gay. On a different note one of the big disappointments for me was the lack of team riding in what is supposed to be an event to make this important. When a rider looked back to see where his partner was it generally was on the last lap when nothing could be done. There was a bit of team riding but no slowing down of the race to allow a team mate to try and make an important pass. A real dying art I would say. On a positive note though, it was good to see so many supporters in the stadium. Perhaps with it not being on Sky prompted some fans to turn up. There was a great atmosphere and some good racing. You are generally guaranteed a good nights racing with some surprises thrown in at the pairs. Have to say the Witches win was one of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Brummi Rebel - I am interested to know more about the "abuse" dished out by Witches fans. How/what was it that overstepped the mark of acceptable celebratory banter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
