Agree,but I think Centre Green clock should be made compulsory at all tracks and riders ready to race rule before time up should be introduced.A lot of refs flash the green lights as a warning but not all do it ,which is an anomaly . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 What an incredible result . Has to be one of the greatest comebacks in cup speedway history , i'm sure even the most ardent Comets fan didnt expect to pull back a 28 point deficit against one of the strongest sides in the league. Well done Workington 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was said very much tongue in cheek, stuart like all ref,s is non biased towards any riders or teams and the rule is clear no facing non racing line to garden, but what i would have gave to see mr cambells and mr hunters faces when the exclusion light came on .even the old dears on the bus after i explained the rule to them last night said it was the right call!!

Have to agree that riders should be ready to race when the 2 min light goes out. If not then they are rightly excluded but you need consistent refs who apply the rules all the time. Can think of 3 times at Berwick in the league match when riders were not remotely ready to race when the 2 min light went out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of the meeting for me though was kyle Bickley, boy has the kid come on this past couple of month, a massive star of the future. I just hope the rumour I'm hearing of a move to Glasgow next season are not true, I think a move up there would be anything but good for his development giving the pressure and expectation that the tigers promotion up there put on riders. Unlikely I think we are casting our eyes further south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Perhaps he would not have turned away if he had seen a clock counting down,the start marshals have thankless job trying to get the riders to come into line a clock 1 hour ago, jenga said: i honestly think that the orange FLASHING light ( 2 mins ) is enough and has served its purpose very well over the many years in speedway . maybe if ricky was facing the correct way , he may have seen that the 2 min light was out and he was still not ready for racing. even with a clock on the centre green , he was still facing away from it. so he would not have been able to see it . but a seasoned pro should be aware of time limits by now . ricky wells 0 stewie wilson 1 . game over .LOL. looks like thr Edinburgh fans have gone to ground . watched EM tv last night . tweedle dum and tweedl dee were full of themselves saying that they were in the final , no problem . think again babies . we are in , youre not . looking forward to seeing the final EM TV broadcast . would solve that problem too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cyclone Posted September 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Having been there yesterday, and I for one, never underestimated that Worky could overturn the deficit last night, as I fully expected Klindt, Bach & Proctor to fully reverse their Friday performances, together with an excellent choice of guest in Allen. Quite simply, Comets were all fully on their A game, and would have blown away whoever the opposition were. Unfortunately for the Monarchs, we were the lambs to the slaughter Congratulations to Worky, and on this form they may well win their first Championship title, together with the Shield & KO Cup of course. Good luck and lets hope more locals come through the turnstiles to fully support their magnificent team.

Mr Blobby Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Congratulations to Workington fully deserved, they created a slick and dusty track to suit there own and it worked an absolute treat. No different to us setting up Armadale grippy. I understand we may have been caught out by conditions to start with but that’s no excuse we should’ve been capable of defending such a lead. Once again we’ve failed to deliver in big meetings some just can’t seem to handle the pressure. Best of luck to the comets for the rest of the season.
