Heather12 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Regarding Wood's exclusion... was the ref having a laugh?!?! He was off gate 4 going round turn 1 still by the fence when he got clattered from behind by Tero who was off gate 1... still can't figure out that decision!! That said, couldn't see the need for booing Tero, not his fault that the ref needs specs The booing near me (1st turn) was directed clearly at the referee. Tero was warmly applauded when he got back on his feet. I have to say it was one of the most ridiculous refereeing decisions I've ever seen. I am a regular Sheffield supporter and stand near the tapes. Tero was definitely booed as he walked down the home straight. It was uncalled for and I felt ashamed that he should be treated that way by Sheffield supporters when it was the referee's decision and had not been a purposeful move by Tero Edited August 25, 2017 by Heather12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I am a regular Sheffield supporter and stand near the tapes. Tero was definitely booed as he walked down the home straight. It was uncalled for and I felt ashamed that he should be treated that way by Sheffield supporters when it was the referee's decision and had not been a purposeful move by Tero We were chatting to one of the Sheffield fans, and agreeing that the decision to exclude Georgie was ridiculous. It was clearly triggered by a slight contact from Lewis Kerr and Lasse Bjerre entering the first turn, leading to a heavier contact between Bjerre and Tero, which led to Tero losing control. Georgie was the completely innocent party in it. It should have all 4 back. If you had to exclude someone, it was one of Kerr or Bjerre - it started with them. As we are discussing it with him, Tero got booed by a few Sheffield fans (just a few - certainly not all) as he walked off the track. He was correctly directing his ire at the referee. But a few were booing Tero. I was just glad he was back on his feet. All the best Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooose Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 You're quite right, the incident was triggered by Kerr leaning across Bjerre who was having none of it. Tero and Georgie were completely innocent parties and if people were booing the riders then shame on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) I was standing on the 1st bend & it looked like the incident was started with Bjerre & Kerr running in to the 1st bend side by side. Aarnio, trapped on the inside was, therefore, late turning left & Wood had just started hence the coming together. All 4 back in my eyes but was the referee, as advertised, Jim McGregor. Enough said. I, too, thought I might be late due to accidents at the wrong time of the night. Two incidents on the M1, one further north(think it was junction 40-41 mentioned) but yours, Rob, was Mansfield/Chesterfield area where Gas canisters were on the road. I was held up due to an incident of the junction M18/A1 where traffic had backed up on the M18 past the A6182 & A638. A 55 min journey took nearly 1hr 20mins.

I have to say it was one of the most ridiculous refereeing decisions I've ever seen. totally agree with this, the booing was for one of the worst refereeing decisions I have seen, what was McGregor looking at, it certainly wasn't the race. we all applauded tero when he got up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 You are right but i still believe Auty is the better rider ie) his record in British Finals and getting there is better.But you are right a change of track will do him good but in a way it is a vicious circle Auty getting confidence with big home scores should show in his away scores.11/13 and from his last two away meetings (flattering i know) and doing well in the premiership he certainly has turned the corner in the last month. that one hell of a corner he needs to turn. Because lets face it Josh has been going downhill for the last couple of seasons. This season seems to be even worse; Home average; 7.87 Away average; 5.96 Compare that to Kyle Howarth. Home average; 8.77 Away average; 8.29 That is the Championship averages The Premiership average Josh Auty Home Average; 5.55 Away Average; 4.00 Kyle Howarth Home Average; 7.02 Away Average; 6.76 Head to Head Kyle and Josh have face each other 14 times this season with the result of each. Josh beat Kyle 6 times. Kyle beat Josh 8 times. I think Josh has long way to go to catch up with Kyle at this present moment, and present is what I am more interested in but if you want how many British Under 21 titles did Josh ever win, because Kyle won it once, and the Queensland Under 21 title Josh won, Kyle has won twice. I will give you the the two British Under 15 titles Josh has to his name, Kyle never won any of them, but then again I don't think he ever competed in them. But that is in the past and the present and given the choice at the present I would choose Kyle over Josh Auty everytime. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is in the past and the present and given the choice at the present I would choose Kyle over Josh Auty everytime. I think if you want to include Australian titles Auty did beat Ward from the back rememember 2010? so forget Kyles titles.You misunderstand me Howarth has had a great year fair play for me he was very lucky to even get a place at Wolves this year but he has repaid them.But still Howarth in my mind is no better than Auty he has never been a PL number 1 yet i think Auty had his best average year around 8.80 ???We shall see in the next few years but if you want to look back over the years Auty leads him head to head and the difference is Auty can drag a real great meeting out of the bag ie) like getting 17 last week Howarth quite does not do that be interesting how they get on in the next few seasons.

relic Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Apart from the third ride incident, how was Georgie looking? Gorgie is doing very well. Apart from one meeting he has scored every time. He listens to the good advice he is being given and because of his grass track background is not afraid of the speed around Sheffield. He has shown total commitment by a large investment in engines and as a long time Sheffield supporter am very glad that he is with us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can go far in the sport too, was on a new engine Thursday, glad he is being looked after at Sheffield because he is a top lad with bags of potential.. just like to add i wish he could get four rides once in a while, thursday night was the perfect oportunity to put him in heat 14 with nothing to lose I have noticed this, even with Sheffield winning and in control he only seems to get 3 rides apart from 1 meeting. Hopefully with the new gear he is on he can get some more track time and prove to be a good investment for Sheffield in the future..

Cue Ball Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 just like to add i wish he could get four rides once in a while, thursday night was the perfect oportunity to put him in heat 14 with nothing to lose Agreed. We had the meeting won and realistically we don't care if Scunny picked up a bonus point as it won't effect our end of the table, so why not give him the extra experience.

spin king Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Apart from the third ride incident, how was Georgie looking? Doing exceptionally well, but the moment me and my group that I stand with, said virtually in unison that we should get him signed up, and to be fair we should be thankful to the Berwick promotion for bringing him in as guest when they did because I don't think he would have come in for serious consideration before, but I think that we have had a little gem fall into our laps. The 3 rides I think is frustrating to fans and think it fair to say that we would all like to see him given his fair share of rides, as with every race he showing signs of improvement with every race, but the Team Management at Sheffield seem hellbent on been as ruthless at all times and are leaving nothing at chance to get the biggest win they can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Hope Sheffield sign Wood up, if not he will do very well elsewhere JPB /Wood have they had the patienced showed to them that Branford did.?

Tonga Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 JPB was treated exceptionally well off season and during but chose to spit his big dummy out. Treating his many sponsors with allot of disrespect. Never want the Joker again in any Sheffield team. As for Georgie, the lads got passion and is a very pleasant lad that will do well. IMHO the whole package is better than JPB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
