He's hampering his own career , once during a meeting going through the tapes can happen to anyone , but twice isn't good and it has to be stopped somehow . Cause he can be a decent wee rider on his day but he's no use sat in the pits excluded or going off 15 metres . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years if you collected the tapes he has broken you could probably bungee jump from the top of Mount Everest. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be man managed and put on a tight leash. Im surprised by last night, surely we have said to him we'll bring you back but the tapes issues must stop. He's played victim too often in the past and in reality his career is in the last chance saloon. Only he can want to change. He'll be replaced if he doesnt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Track was hard packed and slick and a very very cold night but it was great to be back. Richie and James had an off night and will do better in the future. Was well impressed with young Jack Thomas did not expect that from his debut a star in the making for sure. Starke ,Kerr and Vissing were superb and for the Monarchs Erik Riss will be at no 1 before the end of the season, he improves year on year. Max Ruml showed some flashes and should do well once he gets to grips with the different tracks ..Matt Williamson had a good night and is very difficult to pass when he is in front, all in all it was ja cracking night , glad to be back ,would like a bit more dirt down for when bomber is back . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Good workout for the boys last night, I’m sure they’ll be a little disappointed being 2 down with 2 to go and then go on to concede 2 5-1s. Ricky was solid, young max was impressive and looks a great find, mark was solid as a 3rd heat leader, tough baptism to British speedway for Joel hopefully he will improve with time, Erik looks the real deal this year and ready to take the next step in his career can see him being number 1 sooner rather than later, josh struggled but we know he can do far better so no need to worry and Matt was the star man for me very impressive sharp out the gate and no slouch after that either. New season same old sarj, really needs to learn to sit still at the start getting beyond a joke now.

Appreciate that mate but it's a challenge match, surely better for him in the long run to have his fourth ride and get as much experience as possible on the track.

It wisnae a challenge it was the Scottish cup and I know if I was a monarchs fan I'd be wanting my manager to try everything to win or keep the score tight. By the way enjoyed last night. Considering the weather track not bad and looks nice and wide. Also looked like a good crowd despite the cold and the other attractions on in Glasgow last night. The score sets up the second leg quite nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 i thought these pre league/cup meeting were all about getting riders up to speed ! to drop a rider out of his 4th ride for a 50p cup is a big no no shirley ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. If you want to get up to speed then go and practise. This was a well promoted match between fierce local rivals for a trophy that has a long proud history. It attracted a big crowd and I'm sure armadale will as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkess smelt an away win and the chance to piss all over our event. Not to be. The Monarchs will get plenty practice at the new improved Ashfield being back twice again before the end of May.

Gr8scot Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I enjoyed last night...... great to be back trackside The new track impressed but is the first time I have ever seen a speedway track with the grass at 90 degrees on the 1st bend..... good job the new track is wide enough to cope. Some really good racing and some learning curves achieved with much to look forward to for both teams....... roll on Friday!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 But if you go to a challenge match or individual meeting in March you have to expect some riders to be easing into their season, it's impossible for man and machine to hit the ground running straight away. You will get some good races like we saw at Belle Vue last night and some not so good.....Jason Doyle admitted he was a bag of nerves before his first race at Belle Vue and felt like he'd forgotten how to ride a motorbike, but visibly improved with every ride. For me it's quite simple, if you don't want to pay full prices to watch riders getting into full swing then don't go and instead wait for the proper stuff to start.
