Thought the ref got it spot on tonight with the rollers.

what rollers ? the bay city rollers

We have the benefit of the replays to show that often the "jumped" starts are a lot of the time going with the magnets. The ref only has a few seconds to decide and it is easy to err on the side of caution and pull them back.

The ref has the benefit of knowing when he's pushed the button . have they no hand eye co-ordination

This has got to stop. If a rider gets a flyer and doesn't touch the tapes then it should be allowed to run. But obviously if a rider touches the tapes then he should be penalised.

Crazy that Robert Lambert's a second string on an equally false average.

Its Mads average that is false.This is what has put Lambert down to second string.Lambert has attained that average riding at a heat leader position so is definitely not on a false average.

I agree.If the tapes ain't touched,its a good start.

Thought the ref didn't do much wrong tonight at all.

There was only one marginal pull back, the others were spot on.

Not sure if the rules allow for it, but thought Rose was harsly excluded in 12. Effectively, he was the cause of the stoppage, but Lambert's entrance into bend 3 left a lot to be desired and didn't give Rose a lot of choice.

 

Not seen all of the SKY matches this year, but thought this match was one of the better ones on TV in a while. Some good racing when the track settled down, a few cracking moves, and a close score throughout. Happy enough with that.

 

The only down side is the form of Batchelor. I know he has his critics, I know his people skills are sometimes a bit lacking, but seeing someone who can potentially be so good ride so poorly is a sad sight. It's a shame he and Lambert can't switch positions. Now more than ever Batchelor needs a run out against reserves to build up some confidence again. There was actually a few times during the night when I felt his heart wasn't totally in it. Shame to see.

 

Congrats to Coventry - worthy winners. Could be a late challenge to the play-offs if this result can kick start their season.

Have we had a poor Sky meeting yet this season? Leicester got pass marks, the GB Final only really got pass marks too but wouldn't have started at most tracks and wouldn't have ended at any other so can be excused. All the GPs have been good too. It's been a great year for televised speedway (Prague in the GPs next and PL dross next week though :P;))

Havvy needs to learn to think before he speaks, not the brightest comment saying he would have to kill Sophie if he was to tell her what was said live on tv.

Blimey, I can't imagine anyone being offended by that, unless they're one of those sad gits that gets offended by anything.

 

It's a jokey comment that people use every day of the week. You do know that he wouldn't actually have killed her don't you?

Live on tv it was an insensitive comment in today's world and if you look at Sophie I don't think she looked happy either.

Professionally offended folk can turn almost anything into an insensitive comment in today's world.

 

It's one of the biggest problems with 'today's world'.

Watched Bates. Yound lad making his way. If he gated he did well but his passing ability seems non existent at the moment. Like it out wide.

 

Lambert B rubbish himself when sandwiched and he got through but he seems at the moment to be a bit of a gater.

 

Plenty of time to improve though.

Your comment re Josh Bates is nonsense

There are multiple streams. Look for the "Switch Stream' tab to select another if this one fails.

 

Many thanks Rob, enjoyable meeting to watch with added bonus of Kings Lynn losing. Edited by Tom Thumb
