Redcar v Newcastle Thursday


Recommended Posts

Not a half bad meeting. I say this as a Ben Barker fan, but how on earth he was not excluded in heat 6 is beyond belief. It was a move that at best was very ambitious, and at worst reckless. Best wishes to Tero, and Mikkel B who had a tough fall as well.

Some great racing afterwards from Ben, Jorgensen and Lunna in particular. Robson was excellent value for Newcastle.

Reckless how come the referee who had the best view did nt  exclude him ben barker is awesome gotta be here nxt season

Heaven only knows. Absolutely no question that Barker lost control and T boned Aarnio into the fence. Given how obvious it was, probably one of the worst decisions I have ever seen.

It has been a problem for a number of season of referees making bad decisions, as most matches are filmed for video production why not give a feed to the referees box then he can review any stoppage and hopefully give the correct decision.

Re the heat 6 Barker incident, I thought that Ben came in underneath Tero who then tried to lean on him. 

The following incident was not nice to see & the referee made a brave call , if Ben had been excluded I would not have had an objection  . 

I hope that Tero recovers quickly. 

I noted the comments of George English , funny how he approved of 2 similar incidents a few seasons ago involving Richie Worrall which left Redcar with injured riders

And your two contributions to this thread, and in view of the seriousness of the 'attack' by Barker, shows that village idiots are not a thing of the past.

Honestly

Got a text off the little fella at 02.21 this morning, 

After x-rays and an MRI scan he was released from hospital, no fractures or breaks only soft tissue damage to the shoulder and upper arm muscle, he is feeling decidedly second hand and reckons he should only miss tonight's match against Glasgow with a bit of luck.

After seeing the speed he was propelled into that air bag I would say he is a lucky (lucky) lad to come away with the injuries he has as it could have been much more serious than it was

Never seen George’s comments of a few seasons ago so can’t comment on that but you have just said in your own words the Barker/Aarnio incident was “similar” to Richie’s so you must agree it was Barkers fault  as you must also know some Redcar fans were that enraged  about it they were saying they wished “Richie had been killed”
