Lefty Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Cook should have been banned for Workingtons' next two home meetings (ref: Jake Knight). That way Belle Vue fans would not be penalised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Oh come on.... it's as good as a ban, he is being told he can't ride? If he has had a sickness that could be passed on health guidelines state you should not return to work until at least 48 hours after symptoms cease.As he was only sick yesterday and today the first day symptoms couldve ceased the earliest would be Wednesday for a return. I agree its unusual for the BSPA to insist on the full 7 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyb Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Yet another "illness" for cook - what this time, upset stomach, toothache, bit of a cough and cold - what an a*hole ! They reckon Northern guys are tough - perhaps that's the problem - is he really a guy ? Gonna be true comedy in 2018 speedway GP I reckon.

sparks123 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Nothing against Morris who's had a good season - followed his progress since he first appeared for Bees - but Worrall beat all the other riders, finished five points ahead of Morris Sorry, but that ain't right to me What do you think about Zagar winning a GP finishing 7 points behind Jason Doyle in the qualifying heats? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS550 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 i can only say sorry as i added the second part of the post very quickly after . as you can see by the times posted , it is the same time and we must have crossed over at roughly the same time . i understand if you can/want to remove the like thing . i dont think for one min that you would like someone to get banned or cause a disruption in the camp . anyone reading to posts , please bear this in mind when replying to the post . SORRY AGAIN J2GOOD SPEEDWAY . hope this settles your mind a wee bit No worries mate. You're just a better/faster typist!! Yet another "illness" for cook - what this time, upset stomach, toothache, bit of a cough and cold - what an a*hole ! They reckon Northern guys are tough - perhaps that's the problem - is he really a guy ? Gonna be true comedy in 2018 speedway GP I reckon. I wouldn't class myself as Cook's biggest fan and I don't know about the illness but he's 'a class above' in the Championship is he not and deserves his chance in the GP.

Midland Red Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 What do you think about Zagar winning a GP finishing 7 points behind Jason Doyle in the qualifying heats? Not a lot To me, Doyle / Worrall won the main events, Zagar / Morris won the "second half scratch race/rider of the night finals" If they're so good - these add-on races - let's have them back for the second half of BL meetings, like we used to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, rules are rules & therefore Morris won on the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Need to be more consistent with their formats. National League Riders Championship was run the old way with 20 heats and rider with most points was the winner. As a Berwick fan over the moon that Nick won it with the format for meeting working in our favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree,it the last race that counts nowadays.Well done to Nick who has had great season since he joined Bandits,but for me doesn't mean the same as when Wayne and Stevie won because they were Bandits through and through.Its not Nick's fault the way the sport has developed over the last few years.Like I said well done to Nick for brightening up Bandits supporters season. No worries mate. You're just a better/faster typist!! I wouldn't class myself as Cook's biggest fan and I don't know about the illness but he's 'a class above' in the Championship is he not and deserves his chance in the GP. Deserves his chance as he qualified by rights,but he seems to be losing the plot these days,let's see what he does in the GPs when the going gets tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, rules are rules & therefore Morris won on the night. Congrats to Nick Morris, certainly He was the best rider in heat 22 He won one other race when competing against the other 15 riders in heats 1-20, and was second in heat 21 Congrats to Richie Worrall - the best rider on the night, beating ALL others If there has to be this build-up in individual meetings to a final race decider, surely the fairest way to go is the system discarded by OOFC (SGP) whereby riders are eliminated along the way after two 3rd/4th places - that way, it is right that the last four men standing race off for the title At the moment, there is little or no justice that a rider can beat everyone else but not be the winner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this in the Premiership section but might help one or two people to be more understanding of health issues. Might not help some though because you need more than one brain cell to understand it. http://cc111.co.uk/craig-makes-a-statement-regarding-his-health/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
