LisaColette Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Rosco is playing the game just like Matt Ford does. Sets us up nicely for some more epic rivalries between Poole and Swindon. What 'who can cheat the most...' And i thought it was about winning races!!

BurntFaceMan Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) What 'who can cheat the most...' And i thought it was about winning races!! It is about winning races. But it's a lot easier to win races at Poole with Kyle Newman at reserve than your actual reserve.

foreverblue Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) This will be like the Poole tie when they broke the rules to beat us. Any announcement will wait until after the second leg and should Swindon win the tie handsomely then the points will be deducted with a fanfare of how things have to be done properly. If The Aces keep it too close for comfort then as with the play off final back then it will be ignored. Gogglegate? Wasn't it said at the time once the race has been run you can't change it.

SCB Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Gogglegate? Wasn't it said at the time once the race has been run you can't change it. No, you can appeal before the next heat. Once the next heat has been run you can't appeal it. Funny isn't it, how Lemon has twice missed things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 It is always a problem having a Lemon as manager!! I can assure you the biggest LEMON was up in the refs box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Or Rosco could make sure all of his riders take 3 rides!! Edited September 15, 2017 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Who cares nowadays it's just a Circus ,people are just attending to watch some bike racing,to say it is aTeam sport is a myth .And the biggest talking point of many meetings on here is "who has best manipulated/ignored the rules?"..😁 Doesn't say too much about what's on offer on track does it?😕 Edited September 15, 2017 by mikebv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 It is about winning races. But it's a lot easier to win races at Poole with Kyle Newman at reserve than your actual reserve. Why did they drop him then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 The stupid thing in all of this, in my opinion is that a rider who is thrown out of a race for 2 starting offences CAN ACTUALLY BE REPLACED. If the rider had just been excluded and not replaced that would count as a ride. For messing about at the start why should they be replaced ?? it`s not as if we are going to have loads of 3 rider races because of it !!!!Thats how daft the rule book is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus don't recall him winning many races from reserve at Poole this season!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazeaway Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 It is a professional sport, depends which side of the fence your looking from. No it isn't, it's a crock of shyte which will be finished in five years unless some drastic measures are taken. But you just keep kissing Ford's ar$e and imagining everything is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 It looks simple enough. If a rider is disqualified / excluded or any other word they dream up and he doesn't take the 15m option then this will count as a ride if he isn't replaced by a reserve and it doesn't count as a ride if he replaced.

YerRopes Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 The result should be amended, BWD points nulled for that heat and everyone else moves up a place. It's so sad to see referees who don't know the rules - not good enough I remember Kyle Newman breaking the rules by riding without goggles The result was allowed to stand and Poole won the POs.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Poor old Brad seems the innocent victim again. I don't sense any feeling against BWD for this. The rules were broken. He didn't do anything wrong, it was his team management and the ref for not knowing the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 The result won't be changed and quite rightly so as it's the ref fault not's swindon .It's not just as easy as taking two points away as if the ref had apply the rules swindon could have sent muse to tapes etc changing the whole course of the match etc .The bottom line the ref is at fault and the result will stay the same .
