Grachan Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) I think there's becoming too much of an obsession about whether or not people are moving at the starts. Races get pulled back so often. Even when they aren't there is often discussion about whether or not they should have been. Blatant moving then, sure, bring it back. Exclude riders who touch the tapes. But these are guys on motor bikes with clutches poised. They might creep a bit. Good meeting last night. You could see the passion in the sides and I'm sure the eventual winners will come from this tie. Disappointing to see Coventry get 2 5-1s at the end as I was looking forward to the humiliation of the fans from said club who mocked Swindon's rubbish semi. Oh well, there's always next week.

kenny bee firefly Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Referees seem to be overlooking or not noticing Hans Andersen's creeping starts. He is always slightly moving before the tapes go up. Janowski too getting away with it !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Janowski too getting away with it !!Yes and when he didn't he wasn't so good from the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) I do agree with Tatum. It's a shame these two teams have met in the semi instead of final as best two teams in the league and now one won't be in it. I think whoever wins at Wimborne Road on Monday have to be favourites to win the title (Poole look most likely esp if Garrity is out) Last nights semi was by far the best of the two first legs.

Starman2006 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Janowski too getting away with it !! You convieniently forget about the riders from your side that were also edging and rolling. But lets not get away from a good argument about anything Poole.. I do agree with Tatum.

Well Kennt didnt forget about it, as said Janowski too getting away with it, meaning Hans and Janowski both doing it, so not everyone is against Poole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, and quite right to. And i expect you will see more of it on Monday. {weather permitting} In the old days you could roll, and i see no reason providing you don't touch the tapes why you still cannot do it. If you penalise yourself then you only have yourself to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I agree, within reason, I mean you can do stupid rollers and really gain an advantage, but till the rules comes in that you can roll, eveyrone should be sat still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should, and if they don't the REF should warn them then fine them. Say £100 a time. Even the big boys would soon think twice about doing it.

Steve0 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 it made a change to be at a proper meeting and for once no off track moaning! better result than expected, lost my money in the sweepstake in the bar! just shows that a team full of gaters will always win over racers, just like the GP really It was a draw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Well, I enjoyed that ~ perhaps helped by all the vapour/smoke wafting our way from someone smoking on the 3rd bend. What it was I don't know but it produced a hell of a lot of vapour that rivalled a steam train. Made me so chilled and laid back I didn't even get excited about the two last minute 5-1's. I noticed that Rory's 2 girls were supporting Poole so it must have affected them too. Oh well....onwards to the inevitable result next week. Well done to Hans and Danny who were stars for the Bees. Chris was obviously not fit but battled on, as did Jason who took yet another tumble. Hope both will be okay for the 2nd leg and we get a decent guest instead of Lindgren. I dare say it will only move to Wednesday if it rains.............. RP I dare say it will move to Wednesday tonight. Remember the 48 hour rule that Sky use? Or doesn't it apply to Poole?

I don't take too much notice of Tatum, him being so bias towards Poole. Wouldn't surprise me if he was Poole's no1 supporter. As for the 2 semi's I think it would be wrong to criticise BV for the way they performed this week, Brandon may have been more exciting, but only because two teams turned up to fight, whereas Monday, Swindon were so disappointing. I don't see it being obvious as to who would be favourite to win the final. Lets not forget, Poole selected Coventry in the semi's, believing they were the easiest option. so they won't be keen to go to KL in the final....... Still all to play for.... .
