You have obviously mellowed in your opinion of Jacob then over the years as you wrote this when a few of us Redcar fans wanted him in our 2018 team.

"Seriously, what is it that Redcar fans see in Bukhave that the rest of us can't see. I saw a hard trying rider going nowhere, but hanging around to make himself available. I am aware of a personal attachment he may have with Redcar, but I think Konopka was a better bet than Bukhave. Honest opinion."

Anyway at least his hanging around presented him an opportunity :)

Yes hopefully he will take it.

Question answered he now has a UK team (oh and its 4.00)

Oh dear!!!

Has Dandelion got a "Wizards Cuff"

Grumbling along the right lines... definitely a proper rider he's Danish

No!!!

What like she sorted the Shipyards The Mines and heavy engineering?

Again No!!!

We all do but will he struggle as much as Simon did at Brough?

Diamond@hardheart possibly?

Honestly!!!

Not that he reads this forum (well not if he has any sense anyway) but good luck to the kid, Newcastle have taken on many Scandinavians over the years and good; bad or indifferent they have always been triers; hard working and professional; furthermore  the Newcastle faithful have always given them a fair crack of the whip and made them feel welcome...

If he hits the ground running and puts a point or two on his average everyone will be claiming him for their own, so don't be so fickle and give the guy a chance; we have with many others and been delighted; frustrated and disappointed in equal measure so lets see where he gets and how long it takes for the usual suspects to ask for him to be replaced (or sacked) if hes not scoring double figures after his first couple of meetings

Good Luck to Jacob and "if not 1st; may all your places come with a bonus point"....

'Yacub' (Jacob, our new rider), hope he does well,,,,seems like a decent lad, willing to learn and help. Met him on Sunday and, well I was just being my usual self :t:

So I take it you told him what your thoughts were on his ability and that you posted such on the 24/05/2019

Or will you be the 1st fan of the Jacob Bukhave Fan Club as there is a vacancy

That was a question, bit like politicians do, 'answer a question, with a question' ;)

So just being your usual self "you didn't" and from my edit above will you be the 1st fan of the Jacob Bukhave Fan Club as there is a vacancy below the ruffdiamond name "to be confirmed"?

Got to now really after saying he was Poop then doing the suck up post following...

Possibly, I had thought of it, we'll just have to see how he gets on.

I think you, and Redcar, would agree with my comments at the time, and like me you have seen the improvement in him and I have admitted to his improvement,  At least, and at last, Newcastle have been able to give him the opportunity that he has obviously worked hard for. I didn't need to mellow, it was all down to Jacob. :D

Although having said that, is Fjelsted/Slangerup the same place? Hate bloody geography! :rolleyes:

Actually I spoke with Ken's wife on Sunday at our practice, and it was her who mentioned it. Another Dane for the Diamonds. :P

The fact that your original post was in response to a few of us Redcar fans wanting him in the team plans for 2018 would suggest we didn't agree at the time. He had shown improvement in the few visits he had made to Redcar after his initial spell, hence why some of us wanted him to get a place with the Bears. It's not a sign of weakness to admit you've come around to our way of thinking ;)

It was his assessed average that made it difficult to get a team place.

Better try reading what I wrote. I was admitting his improvement. What do you want that would satisfy you, Flogging. :o

Thought Fjelsted was on the island Fyn, which is part of South Denmark , but not Jutland

I did read what you wrote. You said “we would agree with your points at the time” when clearly , at the time, we didn’t. 

And rarely since :)
