Edinburgh Vs Glasgow, Friday, 12th June 2015


Recommended Posts

I was there the last time Glasgow beat us at home and then they went on to win the league, hope the weegie barstwerards don't do It again

 

Ps I'm in Benidorm and don't give a flying duck at the moment, that will change though, ( god it hurts) honest opinion

Well done Tiggers you deserved that sharp from the tapes all night, fought back when behind, and team line up and changes expertly handled by team manager. The long suffering fans will crow and justly so.

 

Morris was not missed as the lesser Worral rode supremely, reserves dovetailed well Pavlova good to start Sarjeant excellent at the end. Spud reliable as always but who was that guesting in the number 2 jacket? Guess its time Dickie racked up a score and he certainly seemed to enjoy the slicker track.

No excuses from our boys, Erik coming along nicely, but this match was all about Glasgow.

 

Enjoy the victory and I expect more of same on Sunday.

 

Should certainly spice up the coming cup clashes too....we need to flood the track me thinks and make it heavier or we might be beaten again.

 

From Embra. fans there tonight congrats and enjoy the beer humble pie this end

Well done Tigs, you thoroughly deserved your six point win tonight and gave the Monarchs a salutary lesson in gating tonight.

 

On the evidence of this performance I can envisage all the silverware staying in Scotland, albeit 40 miles West of Edinburgh.

 

Nice atmosphere at the end, visiting Tigers fans cheering and Monarchs fans applauding the Stripes on their victory parade at the end :approve:

Trick track.....what trick track? With the exception of Berge (who seems to have a mental block about the place) none of the Glasgow riders seemed to be having any problems at all getting round the Armadale circuit tonight! Great crowd and atmosphere, and a close match fluctuating one way then the other (then back again) made this the best match of the season. The racing could've been better (track was a bit slick and dry) but the drama and excitement was high.

 

Glasgow were obviously up for it from the start and rode with great determination. Richie W was a good guest and scored around the same as Morris would have - perhaps slightly less. Spud, Berge & Palovaara scored as expected and R/R picked up what you would have expected Kozza to score. Glasgow's win came from best ever Armadale performances from Richard Lawson & James Sarjeant. Sarjeant improving with every ride culminating in a heat 14 5-1 along with Lawson to pretty much secure the victory. Lawson then completed the job with a fine heat 15 win and you could see his obvious delight on the victory parade.

 

For Edinburgh Cookie was top man, but even he coughed up a 1-5 in heat 11. Erik Riss continues to improve and had a fine heat 8 win (which he had to do twice) over Lawson. Sam, Kev & Sedgy were slightly below par and Rob and Max had nights to forget. I think Cookie needs to get his luminous yellow wheels and the no. 1 race jacket back for Edinburgh to feel more like they did last year - although they're definitely not as strong.

 

Well done to Glasgow - the best team won. And I'm feeling slightly apprehensive about Sunday...

My sad thoughts tonight :(

 

It was hard work doing the updates tonight, upsetting ML nearly every race. To criticise the Monarchs would take away from a great Man City Tigers performance, we are weak in three positions and very strong in four - tonight we didn't cmpensate for our weaknesses.

Glad to see Paulco in the bar to say well done, he may just be having a shandy or two now! For Monarchs, the need to improve displayed last week v Ippo was highlighted tonight, on a dry gaters track, w have to gate.

Too soon for any panic measures, just arrange any future derbies when Coventry are riding!

 

We scraped by last week v Ippo but were outgated tonight, sick to be second but after all their problems in the last three years, you can't deny your neighbours their victory.

Strange line up from the tiggers. Worrall for Morris isn't as strong but R/R for Smith cancels that out. Makes no difference though as we will come out on top as usual.

 

Home win by 12.

That's made my bloody night , well done tigers , Mr Blobby will be going through himself after that result. After our spanking at scunny it certainly put a smile back on my face. Would love to have seen his face.......priceless

 

Enjoy tigger fans

Well were to start.

 

Congrats to them on their win thats all your getting.

 

We havn't been that great the last few weeks away from the tapes but last night we were stinking if your going to give away 10 meters going into the first corner most races your going to get beat 9 times out of 10.

 

Last nights defeat is probably a good kick up the backside that we needed as a team IMO. Gives the boys a bit of a wake up call that it isn't going to be as easy as it was last year.

 

Anyway we are still the big team in these parts winning 16 of the last 20 derbies says it all. :approve:

You are only as good as your last meeting Which means we are good and your lot are not so good really hope you can manage to hang on to a play off spot to pro-long your season so as we can then end it with a bang.

Enjoy tigger fans

 

Balance of power has shifted in Scotland---get in Tigers!!

See you all next week!!

Soooooo happy for all the Tiggers fans

I do find it pretty sad when fans of other teams bask in the glory of someone elses victory.i don't understand that mentality thankfully but in TaylorJ's case being a Comets fan you have to get your jollies somehow i guess.As for the 'balance of power' shifting Brummiestormer..correct me if i'm wrong but it is still June and nothing's been won yet..apart from one match?Well..what can i say about last night apart from well done to the Weegies..the best team won out on the night and i certainly wouldnt grudge those Tiggers fans who have supported their team through thin and thinner.It's easy to support your team when times are good but the real ones stick in when times are bad..fair play and enjoy your win..for now.. :drink: You sensed the Tigers had a feeling we were there for the taking and our guys were strangely subdued.Our gating was atrocious and the Tiggers err wasnt lol..James Sarjeant must have piles as in nearly all his races he wouldnt sit still at the start but when it's Willie Dishwasher in the box nothing surprises me.Anyways,i hope the riders in Blue & Gold are hurting as much as i am today..We have to pick ourselves up and i'm sure we will.We have too many good riders not to.. as i say enjoy your win for now my buckie swallying china's well done :t:
