Haza Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 So would you rather he had not ridden tonight and possibly tomorrow and gone into the SWC on Saturday with his wrist untested? Doyle rode Saturday, isn't riding Thursday but I be he will be fit for the SWC. I'm not saying it's right but it's happened for years and until all nations have a co-ordinated injury policy (when hell freezes over) it always will. most definitely shouldn't have ridden tonight absolutely, yes ride tonight had he turned out last night a wolves but he didn't. It's the same old story British clubs at the bottom of the pile .There was no chance in you progressing through to the next round let's face it I agree but why cheat Woves and Lynn fans ?

Bagpuss Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 There was no chance in you progressing through to the next round let's face it Exactly and Wolves is a tight track, much harder on the wrists than Kumla. Or Belle Vue or Lynn for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Exactly and Wolves is a tight track, much harder on the wrists than Kumla.

Bagpuss Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 so if Chris Holder had missed a meeting in the same manner you'd said the same thing ? Yup, if he had fallen the night before and broken his wrist and had the SWC coming that weekend. Would say the same for any rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Yup, if he had fallen the night before and broken his wrist and had the SWC coming that weekend.

Bald Bloke Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 ok fair enough - Robert Lambert hasn't a broken wrist Simon Lambert has and is out for 6 weeks there your difference . He says he has.Whos is telling porkies ? News about wrist it's broken where it was broken 2 years ago but I'm getting phisio today on my neck and wrist to try and get movement then make a decision when I can start to race again. I need to be fit for the World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 ok fair enough - Robert Lambert hasn't a broken wrist Simon Lambert has and is out for 6 weeks there your difference . Lol, if only life was that black and white. I can't believe you are being that naive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Lol, if only life was that black and white. I can't believe you are being that naive. so he hasn't a broken wrist is that what your saying ? So if he hasn't why is he saying he has ?

Star Lady Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 so he hasn't a broken wrist is that what your saying ? So if he hasn't why is he saying he has ? You do realise there are several bones in the wrist don't you. How much you movement you have depends on which bone you have broken, not to mention whether it's displaced or stable. There is no reason for Lambert to say he has a broken wrist if he hasn't, it's unfair to compare his injury with Simon Lambert as they are probably completely different. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I have no problem with riders missing meetings when they're injuried, but its when the rider picks and chooses the meetings he's misses I have a problem with. We heard loud and clear that Robert had broken his wrist and will probably miss the SWC. From that statement, we would have assumed he would miss both of Lynn's meetings this week. understandably. My view would be to miss the SWC and concentrate getting fully fit ASAP. But when we hear he went to ride in Sweden on Tuesday, we can only assume the wrist is not broken and he is not as bad as first told, which is good... But why was the announcement made in the first instance.... Some say ' we had nothing to race for on Monday' was irrelevant. but you cant pick and choice which meetings you race. By riding on Tuesday, he really let his team mates at Lynn down Monday night...... You expect better than that from your Captain...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good example of the lies and Fake News that make up 21st century speedway "spin". There is never a correction or an update issued by the club except in the vaguest of terms.

Injured riders over the years have always picked & choose what meetings to ride in, I could fill page after page giving you examples!

mrss Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 The worrying thing is if Rob rides tonight and in the SWC is that he will do more damage and be out of action for weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much you movement you have depends on which bone you have broken, not to mention whether it's displaced or stable. There is no reason for Lambert to say he has a broken wrist if he hasn't, it's unfair to compare his injury with Simon Lambert as they are probably completely different. of course I'm aware of that - if that's the case maybe he should have said he had a broken bone in his wrist rather than a broken wrist which is the case with Simon Lambert. Lambert let the team down fans down by not riding Monday then turning out last night . If he does or doesn't ride in the World Cup to be honest I'm really not bothered one way or the other- if he has a wrist injury he'd be better to take the whole week off to recover .

semion Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Riders have always missed meeting for a variety of reasons. Food Poisoning seems to be the in vogue one. I seem to recall the Great Ivan Mauger went a whole season without riding an away match, cant think which club it is was for now. He struck a deal that he would only to do home meetings, and the BSPA allowed it.. Now if you want to point the figure about riders missing meetings for whatever reason, and being allowed to get away it then look no further to who's door to lay the blame. The tail has wagged the dog for many years, and its getting worse. Edited June 28, 2017 by semion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 The most likely scenario was that he was told to have Monday off, especially if there was a chance of him riding tonight where there are league points on offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 FURROW Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 It doesn't matter whether there's a million bones I your wrist the fact of the matter is at 730 on Monday he's not fit 22 and half houses later at 6pm he's fit totally wrong in my opinion spot on post 100% right of course I'm aware of that - if that's the case maybe he should have said he had a broken bone in his wrist rather than a broken wrist which is the case with Simon Lambert. Lambert let the team down fans down by not riding Monday then turning out last night .

waytogo28 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well we will know if all the unnecessary(?) anxiety over the extent of Robert's injury will be clear if he lines up on Saturday and is fit enough to ride as he did in the last Stars home meeting ( where he excelled himself ). If we see a pale shadow of that rider it will bring a further storm of criticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
