As it is coming up to Christmas I thought I would share this little chestnut off the Scunthorpe 2019 thread (Page 21) from Gazc where in response to a question posted by "allthegearbutnaeidea" where he asked "Why does every team want Rasmus Jensen?" Glasgow Gaz responded back with...

Quote

"Probably appeals as his average is attractive in a watered down league , I would be disappointed if my team signed him.

No dis-respect to him but I have never been impressed any time I saw him albeit he was banging some big scores in towards the end of last season".

Just hope the rest of Christmas isn't such a big disappointment Gazc and signing Rasmus Jensen doesn't spoil your entertainment to much next season, although there is always Hogmanay where you can drown your sorrows, like eh!!!

Yes i am slightly underwhelmed by his signing but he has signed so he now gets all our support.

I based my judgement on what i saw at Glasgow, but you guy's are better placed as you saw him every week,so your judgement is better placed, as for team spirit my opinion has nothing to do with team spirit

Team spirit is what they make it.

The thing is you can only judge on what you see, and rightly so. 

From a Workington perspective, Starke and Vissing both guested for the Comets at the end of the season and then rode for Glasgow at DP in the Semi Final and both times no one would of been impressed with them and would probably be disappointed if they were signed for the Comets in 2019. 

So I get where you are coming from, but then I also realise that Vissing for example has a high average around Ashfield, so must be well suited there, it certainly is 'horses for courses' with speedway.

So what are you potentially saying you could not be in favour of our video making skills :icon_smile_clown:.

Put it this way Gaz...you won't need any room for a BAFTA in that empty trophy cabinet of yours :P 

Mind you , you could always get them to make another video with Manse, Solidmango and Sharpenrake ...now that would get a bloody Oscar :rofl:

Looking at your team you have a lot more to worry about than rasmus Jensen. 

Particularly sarjent, starke an them two reserves. 

It is what it is, I don't agree with how Glasgow went about the way they did to get Jensen, but he's there now an has 10k in his back pocket. 

One with about rasser is he won't take any crap or pressure from the Glasgow promotion when things ain't going there way. 

Could of been worse for workington with Glasgow trying the same dirty tricks with Bickley, luckily young Kyle was a lot more loyal than rasmus, and stuck to the agreement wich had been shaken on.

Why would I have more to worry me than Jensen ? I was expressing my opinion I haven't been overly impressed anytime I saw him ride , Jeez express your OPINION and the dregs come out the woodwork having another sly dig. 

I really for the life of me don't understand your point in any part of that rambling crap, it appears to me you think you are in the know but deep down you know jack s*it.

Tell me shorty are you another bitter one on the subject of Jensen leaving.

Honestly 

With it being Christmas I was tempted to stick down all those chestnuts just to get with the spirit of the season. However I would have got slated for an overtly long post. However well spotted IS... and as Nat King Cole once sang...

LYRICS

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Cami Brown nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos (because it's Glasgow)

Everybody knows a turkey like James Sarjeant and some poor 2 point reserves.
Help to make the season bright
Tiny Jocks with their eyes all aglow Some jealous with all the money the Tigers spend 
Some Comets will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that the Facena's are on their way
Loaded with lots of toys and goodies on their Gravy Train
And every Glasgow Fan is gonna spy
To see if Rasmus really knows how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To Speedway fans from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
No matter how much Glasgow spend they still won't take a pot home to view.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

Just in case you want to join in...

The lyrics above fit just as well...

All the best...

Regards

Aye av missed Jenga as well...

Wonder where he's at?

Definitely a quieter place without him...

Which Jekyll and Hyde was it? The Spencer Tracy one? Remember it frightened the B'Jesus out of me when I was a kid... it's good for a laugh now though...

You also get some good quotes from him as well...

"Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm".

Pure class and of course written by a fellow Scot Robert Louis Stevenson who would have been a Monarch fan I presume with him coming from Edinburgh

You could do with taking some of his advice....

Honestly? If I had meant Jenga I would have said 'daft cop :icon_smile_clown: and no bad cop :drink:'

With the full team now announced, I am guessing that riding order will be something like this....

1. Cook

2. Sarjeant

3. Jensen

4. Starke

5. Vissing

6. Chessell

7. Lawlor

 

Got some scope to change around the middle three, depending on track and who is on form. And is it still a case of being able to interchange the reserves, again, depending who hits the ground running the quickest? Hopefully James can kick on again riding with Craig at no.2 as well :)

The scope to make changes mid season won't be there though IMO. With the higher averaged riders like Morris and Lawson pushed out of our league, I would expect Cook's average to go up. Should Cook get injured it will be an even bigger issue trying to cover for him. Around a decade ago we were in the same position when the points limit was reduced we stuck with Parker on around 9 and the next averaged rider was Leverington on 6.5. When we regularly couldn't get guests on a Sunday it was r/r with Leverington then the highest averaged rider. It didn't make good viewing!!

hi , you need to do some homework on the ones that are not in the team in 2019 .or should i spell it out for you ? nicolai is only doing prem . rene is going to be a dad in march/april , dan has too many commitments to do championship u19/u21, poland etc rasser would have been in the team but got dragged away by the wedge (£).  ty move to sheff because he drove himself to workington ,rode the meeting and then drove back all on his own . very demanding and tiring . 

the same can be said for the Glasgowriders notwanting to return or were not wanted . 

if the points level was the same. and one one had other plans . the comets could have used the same team as 2018 .

If the points level was the same you couldn't have the same team for the reasons you pointed out. As you appear to [ike to point out peoples spelling mistakes could you explain "one one"? :blink:
