Hot Shoe Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Douglas unlucky when Schleen (whoever that bloke in the box is, get rid of him) hit him; it shouldn't need a fall for a rider to be excluded. I can only guess that the referee didn't have a good view of the incident. Danny King was a class apart, fantastic show and great to watch. I totally agree he was in a class of his own tonight. Those blasts round the outside on bends 3/4 were worth the price of admission alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scunny2012 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 if you think the weather forecast is a bit iffy for this one and you are thinking of going,one should be advised to check where the track is as you are clearly looking at a different forecast to the normal world I explained that earlier if you check the posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Is it just me or does Heeps ride well all night and then seem to come last in heat 15.[/quote Cam did ride well all night and done well to stay on his bike when trying to go around both Scunthorpe riders in heat 15 and getting put into the air fence by Auty for his efforts. His team riding in heat 12 with Connor was the turning point of the match as I couldn't see us even getting a point until that race. After his first race King was in a class of his own with his blasts around the third & fourth bends worth the admission on there own. Nathan never gave up and was unlucky with a couple of exclusions. Can't work out why they took Connor out of heat 14 after his ride in heat 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I totally agree he was in a class of his own tonight. Those blasts round the outside on bends 3/4 were worth the price of admission alone. Many riders reap the rewards of blasting round the outside of bends 3 and 4 at Scunny... never seen a rider execute the move quite like Kingy did tonight though... the turn of pace over a short distance was quite something... proves what good machinery the guy must have. He was a joy to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Been away the weekend but good result from the boys. Top 4 sorted now let's just keep everyone safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I can only guess that the referee didn't have a good view of the incident. Well I was stood just beneath the ref's box and I felt it was rather obvious that Ryan took a heavy knock from Schlein. The race really should have been stopped, with Schlein excluded. Having said that, we also had a couple of refereeing decisions go our way. The ref was consistently rubbish! Scorpions undone by a brilliant performance by King and that surprise result to Heat 12. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Heat 12 the turning point... pure lack of effort from the scunny pair. If betting was allowed in speedway, this would definitely smell of a scam. Slow time and zero effort from the scunny boys... it does make one think! Thanks for replying to my original question. A good job the scorpions weren't racing Glasgow otherwise some on here would be talking about brown envelopes and millionaires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Watching a meeting like this one makes being a Scorpion fan very frustrated. We know only too well how these riders can and do ride better than tonight's effort. The EF's, falls, poor Tero taking so many rides. A real off night for him this week! `Oh to have a No1 like Ipswich has. Hope you Ipswich fans appreciate The brilliance of your No1 Danny King. If only we could have a real No 1? Please Rob for next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 We do June. He is a class act on and off the track 👏👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulboy Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 My first visit to Scuthorpe & certainly enjoyed the experience, even though the meeting seemed to go on forever, but thats the problem with RR for both sides. Thought Witches were lucky that Schlein wasn't excluded for riding through Douglas but that Auty was fortunate to be in the rerun of heat 4. Danny King was certainly class. Also enjoyed Rob Godfrey's unusual style of centre green presentation :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtdodger Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 The Scorpions could and should have won this meeting,lack of effort in Ht 12 and mechcanical failures lost them the match.Top drawer performance from DannyKing and the Witches team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
