I fear Lawlor will fail to score against any opposition and gifting Rowe and Atkins points by facing Lawlor could hand Somerset victory. If not then I hope Dave Peet has the sense to swap Kinsley and Lawlor heat by heat. Dave Peet and sense in the same sentence, yeah right lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 3 hours ago, Fozzie4388 said: Oh dear that's basically gifting Somerset points imo. (Rowe beat Lawlor twice at Stoke on Saturday) I'll be happy to be wrong though. Lets hope Lawlor fires the points in rather then setting things on fire (Like what got him sacked before the season started at Glasgow) Can Hume be fitted in ? if he keeps fit he will do well a real racer i know he is injury prone but he is a champs rider maybe his average is to high 3.83"???

Fozzie4388 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Allen gone to hospital for x-rays on a shoulder injury sustained tonight at Ipswich according to local paper from Ipswich. Scorpions going to be well up against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 yes, noticed Allen did not take another ride after heat 8 but that is the program of rides in the 13 heat format. Hope all is well as possible after effects to Allen & Auty plus repercussions of Garrity could go against us. I agree with Fozzie(gosh, that was hard to admit) but Kinsley needs to be no7 at home(even though it will make a mess of the programme). I have not been a great admirer of Peet but let us see if he is an ex referee or a team manager. (the verdict is still out for some of us on here). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed Hume earlier but not sure if his average is converted form NL(current average) or uses old average from 2017. I think both are too high.

Albert Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Fair play to Somerset, caught us weakened but fully deserved the win. Worst refereeing performance i've seen in 45 years of watching speedway.... absolutely shocking!...laden with mistakes, called so many races wrong... both teams on the end of some bizarre decisions, spoilt what should've been a good meeting.

martinmauger Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 As above, some good racing and close finishes, thoroughly enjoyed it. With rain threatening they quickly rattled through the heats, good call as we hit heavy drizzle 10 mins from the track.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 I wasn't able to be at the meeting tonight. But must say this to my favourite rider " Josh going by your score you were the master of that track tonight against good opposition. A Huge well done! Scunny to the core !( says me ) lol.

hulvik Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Like others on here I'd first like to say well done Somerset we were beaten by the better team on the night despite some in the crowd moaning about the state of the track which was the same for both teams and the rebels rode it better ,end of However the referee was diabolical and should not be allowed anywhere near a speedway track again. As a long time speedway fan I accept that you win some you lose some where refs decisions go. But last night was just mistake after mistake with BOTH SIDES losing points to decisions that where clearly wrong Leaving aside the mistakes in the finishing order of certain races after all in a tight race both sets of fans and riders are going to see the result differently it was the simple things Mr Greame Hunter kept getting wrong Leaving the 2min lights on for an entire race is bad enough especially when track staff starting marshals ,the crowd and riders are trying to draw your attention only turning them off after a comment over the p.a at the end of the race but to do the same thing again in the next race and the subsequent rerun (the riders had completed 2 laps before the lights went out) is just poor This poor standard when on throughout the meeting at one point with 11 seconds left on the 2 minute timer (which was correct having started as the 2 minute lights came on) it was announced there was actually 60 seconds left lucky this mix up didn't result in an exclusion but could have By the end of the night the general feeling was while there had been some good racing the whole evening had been spoiled by some very poor decisions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Godfrey actions spoilt it for me... constantly badgering a ref doesn't help, holds up the meeting and generally makes him look like an idiot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
