Wolverhampton V Poole: El Play-off Semi-final 2nd Leg


Recommended Posts

Just have to say the PK/Ellis call was just a disgrace. Not one Wolves around us fan backed Pk. They all said he overlocked and Ellis then Clegg laid it down. I havent seen any replays but for the life of me I still can't fathom how Ellis was excluded.

 

And in fifteen the ref was playing to the crowd. Shall I exclude him? Shall I not.......build up the tension......wait a little longer..... white light on big cheers.

 

Two poor calls imo.

Well done to Wolves and hard luck to the Pirates but what chance did the Pirates have when half of their team didn't perform on the night.

 

I thought the ref got the PK/Ellis decision wrong but I'm not sure why some people are suggesting that he got the heat 15 decision wrong. In the usual "first bend bunching" scenario it's riders from each side involved but here Tungate had to turn the bike really hard to avoid taking out his team mate and this what caused him to fall. How can the referee call all four back for an incident that didn't involve one team?

 

Anyway, looking forward to the final next week with what should be two cracking meetings.

I see the angle you are coming from, but the nature of the wolves track being so tight, and what that heat could have meant, it would be nice to see 4 riders because of an untidy start, tai was clipped too. Even if we did 1-5 in 15 , I very much doubt holder would have beat tai in a race off

Would have been Lindgren IMO. Anyways, I think ref got the PK/Ellis decision wrong but the heat 15 decision right. Even if the PK/Ellis decision was other way round the Wolves strength in depth would have still won it for them in the last 3 heats. Well done to both teams for an excellent and very tense semi final. Wolves deserved winners. See you next week! ;)

So tungate is much better than bjarne is he

 

yes he is. Bjarne has been pants as a heat leader.

 

Told ya. Gate 2 awful. All about 1 & 3

 

:rofl: the last 3 heats all won off 2 and 4.

5 of the last 7 heats won off 2 and 4.

your lack of speedway knowledge is shocking. :t:

 

All signed & sealed at Wolves in 2017.

 

Pure speculation, nothing more.

 

Well done wolves you deserved it but the ref was on your side

 

like the ref was on your side last week.

 

Congratulations to Wolves on pulling back those 12 points and going on to win so no excuses needed because if you throw away a 12 point lead, then you deserve to lose.

 

Of the two teams i hope and expect BV go on to win in the final.

 

 

Good summary, 100% agree. Can't see anything past and aces win.

 

Good luck to both Wolverhampton and Belle Vue in the final. I am completely neutral and couldn't care less who wins it now. Just hope its run by a ref who can make decisions based on what happens on track rather than who the home team is.

If tonight was ref influenced so was the Poole 1st leg.

 

 

Totally unexpected result so to say I'm happy is an understatement.

Lindback you would have to say would likely score more than 2 points that RR produced which would have had a huge bearing on the meeting.

Tungate wasn't as good as he usually is however Pedersen wouldn't have got more, he has been dreadful as a leader.

If the top 5 had as much passion as the reserves then Poole would have walked that 12 point lead.

Think its fair to say the wolves were the better team, think we had luck with pk being in the rerun of 9 but I guess anticipating a rider falling isn't enough to earn a place back in the race.

Freddie was immense and Kyle did the business when it matters in heat 12.

 

Onwards to the final. Just waiting for starman2006 (his real name apparently) to give his unbiased opinion on the result. One that won't include the word Idi#t perhaps.

Wow. Certainly didnt expect to see us pull that back even with Poole depleted. Heat leaders stepped up and Howarth heat 12 win really swung it back in our direction. Got to say Kyle Newman was excellent and didn't deserve to be on the losing side.

 

Now onto Belle Vue - and settle a 23 year old score

Only saw a few of the races as I was at Belle Vue tonight but credit Kyle Newman, he was outstanding, saw 3 of his races. Seems a decent bloke too, as shown in last year's Grand Final having the banter with the Aces fans with the goggles.

 

Also thought the call on Ellis when PK locked up was really harsh.
