spin king Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Can only concur with the posts about Lambert and Garrity races. Absolute cracking races both riders going for it with hard riding, not dirty giving each other just enough room to race, just why we love the sport. And both BRITISH. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 You're right but possibly George wasn't expecting that result (MK only had 1 point at that stage) and SW was in the next heat. I can understnd why he didn't even though if he had we would of had a point coming back tonight. I get what you say, but if your operating r/r at no. 2, ht 8 is your best chance of a ht advantage using your best rider as r/r against the oppostions lesser riders (no ht leaders),,, just IMO tho,,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 RR is killing us to be fair, having to give phillips 4 or 5 races isnt the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Cracking meeting Undoubted highlight two brilliant races between Lambert and Garrity as they went hammer and tongs for 4 laps. Heat 13 between Stead and Lambert was equally as good, and Berge's last bend pass of Holder worth a mention. Garrity is looking very impressive indeed at the moment and a word for Nathan Greaves with a good win in heat 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC71 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Tough call on the tactical as Kus had done nothing in his first two rides so can forgive George that. Easy to be wise after the event and let's not forget Kus only won that heat after Bates came off. Was surprised though that he left Rose in heat 9 against Berge & Howarth. Thought Phillips would have come in then allowing Rose the easier ride against Sissis in heat 11. At the time I thought that was a strange decision - ok Rose didn't beat Sissis later on in heat 14 but he had beaten him in heat 2. 40 at Sheffield is no bad effort. As at Redcar heat 13 was a killer but I wouldn't swap our top 2 for any others. Still confident we can make the play-offs at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 1. Robert Lambert - Did a great job and was involved in amazing races with Garrity Well done Robert 2. R/R - Feel like Palovaara would have got way more than 3 points, not sure how he's performed at Sheffield in the past but he seems to be more of a big track man, think if he'd been there, we would have got at least a point 3. Matej Kus - Great meeting from Kus, he got his win I wanted him to get, plus 2 I am really happy with him and this meeting has given me much more confidence in him 4. Jack Holder - Thought maybe he'd give a little more points wise hearing all these words said about him but in the end he wasn't terrible, Ludvig would have probably done better, maybe if these Swede's were here we might have won!! 5. Steve Worrall - Only really dropping points in them two amazing race between Lambert and Garrity, but not even Tai Woffinden on steroids could have won that race Great night from Steve 6. Lewis Rose - Bit surprised from Lewis tonight, I thought he'd be on for a much higher score than that, although looking at the two teams out there, that would have been a hard task, ok night but he'll have hundreds better in the future 7. Danny Phillips - ..... Sorry, we're carrying him too far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) you dont win nothing with 11 or 12 last places, George needs to crack the whip with one or 2 riders. Edited June 9, 2016 by Arson fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerite Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) By far the best meeting of the season at Owlerton. Some fabulous racing, well done to both teams for a cracking meeting. I've seen 3 epic Jason Garrity v Rob Lambert races in recent weeks if you include the British Semi Final at Scunny and heat 11 and 15 tonight, those two together is must watch speedway. Lambert's race with Steady in heat 13 was brilliant as well. Don't think I've heard a bigger ovation from the Sheffield fans for an away rider than Lambert got after heat 15 tonight, that said it all about his performance, a brilliant rider. Tigers in control of the meeting until Josh's fall in Heat 8 and that 0-5 swung the meeting through the middle part of the meeting but Tigers heat leader power told in the end, although Newcastle were probably worth a point tonight. Hope Josh is OK after his fall. Edited June 9, 2016 by Tigerite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Speedway at its best apart from Josh Bates crash which was highly alarming. Regarding the argument at the pits wall: I didn't hear anyone boo Robert Lambert, why would anyone do that to a rider who had tried so hard?

godmother Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Perhaps it was the same person who boo'ed when Berwick were there, and it was at Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Can you buy Sheffield meetings on DVD? Sounds liek there was a few good heats in this one and I love Garrity and Lambert so want to see what the fuss is about with their heats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonian Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 That's the best meeting I've seen at Owlerton in a long time! After the Berwick meeting the other week I left a bit frustrated with all the re-runs, slowness and general gate and go stuff that has happened quiet a bit lately, but last night restored my faith. Lambert and Garrity, going at it for a full 4 laps, hard but fair riding and no stuffing each other into the fence or anything, just a delight to watch. You literally couldn't take your eyes of the battle for the whole race. I noticed a couple of people giving Lambert a few verbals for some reason, sure he can take it. Rightly applauded by everyone else though. Pleased to see Josh up and about after his crash, not sure why he sprinted off so quickly after he got out from under the air fence, imagine it didn't do his shoulder a lot of good either. Also good to see Greaves get a heat win, he's rapid out the gate he just can't seem to keep his speed through out the 4 laps. Well done Tigers!!

Watching Josh Bates from my perch on the fourth bend, it seemed just a matter of time before he came a cropper and - sure enough - it happened in heat 8. What is it with Bates and turn 4?

Dcb7 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Anyone throw any light on Steady at the moment, in my humble opinion he doesn't seem to as quick as he usually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came out after the match for a practice on his own, so perhaps he's not happy with the set-up and was trying other things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
