Premiership Grand Final 1st Leg Swindon V Wolves 02.10.17


Recommended Posts

Right. Tungate for me was the man to be excluded in the first leg. He was no more out of control than Lindgren in the 2nd leg, probably less so actually. Yet you can "cut Bjerre some slack" if pushed?! Funny. Anyway, wrong thread for this. Your reasoning is flawed though...

Nowt wrong with my reasoning fella. I tried to come someway to your position, shouldn't have bothered. I ask again. Who was excluded in both instances? As far as I'm aware when you're excluded 'as the cause of the stoppage', you're to blame. It's the law of unintended consequences and I certainly am not claiming that Tungate in particular intended to injure others but he had his warning earlier in the meeting about the way he was riding the surface he was presented with. He chose to ignore it and a fellow rider has a fractured vertebrate as a result of his actions.

So in your little world referees are 100% correct no matter the video evidence, no matter the opinions of others. We are fortunate indeed to have recruited such a group of infallible people to officiate in British speedway or perhaps these super human qualities are shared by speedway referees everywhere. Meanwhile, in the real world most of us know that, just like us, from time to time they get things wrong.

Who's got the EXs against them on the racecards? You're giving an opinion. I'm stating facts. If pushed I'd cut Bjerre some slack, but Tungate's an out of control throttle jockey.

I'm sorry that's nonsense, firstly the crash at wolves was unlucky and the ex could of gone either way, secondly the crash at Belle vue was clearly lindgrens fault the ref got it wrong, but either way there was no malice in either incident. The can throwing was 1 yes 1 idiot who was rightly chucked out of the stadium.

Any way back to the meeting. Swindon should now win this at a canter.

Can only see one winner in Swindon. Freddie could have taken care of Doyle in a few races but unless Doyle has other things on his mind he'll smoke Bomber every time. A shame the final has been ruined by injuries to a large degree

The loss of their two top riders is a massive blow for Wolves and even though I'm a Swindon fan I would rather we were facing a full strength team from Monmore Green.It takes the edge off the final I feel and is rotten luck for Woves and obviously the two riders concerned and I wish them both a speedy recovery.

 

However its sport and injuries are commonplace in speedway and even though Swindon have been lucky at the expense of Wolves I think only the chrurlish and small minded would begrudge the Robins the title if it comes to Wiltshire.

 

The team have proved that by finishing top of the table they are the most consistant team this season and their 17 match winning streak undelines this fact.

 

Having said that, even without Fast Freddie and Thorssel, Monmore Green is probably the track with the biggest home advantage in the PremierLeague and it wouldn't suprise me if Wolves were to win at home and let's face it the Robins at one stage looked as though they were going to gift the home leg of the semi final to Poole so all is not lost totally for Wolves.

 

However if Swindon cock it up now they will only have themselves to blame and undoubtdly are red hot favourites over the two legs.

I would hope no Wolves fan begrudges Swindon the title. The position that Wolves find themselves in absolutely nothing to do with Swindon. Swindon at the start of the season made choices probably no other club would have done I.e. Signing Doyle on his inflated and having Ellis as heat leader (I think). It's worked out, so fair play.
