spin king Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Total over reaction to Cook's tweets. When are the people of Berwick going to learn that if you bite, the man will fish even more. You should have been at Sheffield when Vissing turned right on Paul Cooper just entering the third bend, after watching for him for the length of the back straight Or Makovsky in 2009 bouncing of the fence all over the track pulling lockers in front of Chris Mills. Not content he then wiped out his team mate Franchetti in the next race. Edited August 16, 2015 by spin king 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Touch a nerve?Nah..You just never waste any time in wading into Edinburgh Monarchs Gaz..and i dont really see how you can justify it in your post on this topic/thread to be honest.All must be rosy in the Weegie garden huh Faither Superior?As for rants about Cookie..well,what did he actually say that was wrong on twitter?Ian Rae is the one lacking in class here surely?After a difficult end of season in Craigs first year with us,which was down to heavy goings on in his personal life,he has not only been brilliant on the track,but also brilliant with the fans and always has time for them and never refuses photos autographs etc.I feel he has been a very good ambassador for our club indeed.True he had a public spat with Ben Barker and toilet heater (not the first and probably not the last rider to do so in Ben's case),but then even St Greg Hancock himself has a 'tipping point' and it's part of the sport after all.Nobodies perfect..to be honest..i dont really know what else you base this 'having no class' cobblers on?Ps By the way,did any good speedway racing break out at Shielfield last night? Credit were credit is due he was imperious today fantastic in the Final against Rich who gave him the room to carry out his outside swoop on the last bend and a deserving winner i have nothing against him personally i just think he let's himself down sometimes with his off track comments on social media he should maybe leave it a few hours to take stock and he might post different. But as i say can't fault him on track as he is by a long distance the top rider in this league and today proved it if anyone had any doubt's. Going by your name your not Alex Edberg by any chance? Well if we use that anaology who are you impersonating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkafag Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Not that fussed re trolling, bites or what's written on social media, Cook evidently is a prat and more play to Rae for saying it Given you can say what you like on here and caveat it with IMO it's slightly Gestapoish to attempt to handcuff the opinion of anyone irrespective of their role As a fan of Berwick it's great seeing someone stick up for the club while some bell end attempts to take pops at it Edited August 16, 2015 by sparkafag 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Think Rae came over as the prat. Cookie rode the track and therefore has a valid opinion on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great! we are allowed opinions even Ian Rae, you think he came over as a prat more power to you I think Cooks a good rider but an utter tosser, nothing to do with trolling, over reacting etc just asessing him based on the way I see it, just as Craig does the Berwick track, don't need fans of Sheffield or Edinburh to position it as over reacting etc or try to attempt to tell others how they should think or act, I'm quite calm when I've come to the assessment that....he's a tosser, doesn't make me a troll for doing so etc. Edited August 16, 2015 by sparkafag 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae is entitled to his opinion, just as anyone else is, though as he is a Berwick official it might have been better that he said nothing and let Cook look the fool to some. Looking at social another rider riding last has described the track as very rough, which lead to arm pump in one of his rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not disagree with that statement, and if you are going to be controversial in what you say expect that you may get something controversial said in response. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Cook is an abbreviated Richard, but, to be fair he has got this thread going. Bates's shocker taken into consideration. Yes, I saw Makovsky's move, not going to stick up for it, but Bates's was worse.Hang on, I better add IMO to validate the above statement.

I don't disagree with you, but surely a club official should know when to keep a professional silence, though could could say the same about a rider who didn't exactly enjoy riding a particular track. But at least its made for some good debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit59 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Could not make last night but from reading updates and on here think all the incidents that happened on track could have happened at any other track any time.Looking forward to next week if we have any riders left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
