Edinburgh v Glasgow Friday 24th May


Recommended Posts

Depends what you mean by ‘terribly flash’ but I don’t see much wrong with having a professional image and looking as good as you can when on duty. Years ago at school my PE teacher used to say ‘look smart, play smart’ when we represented the school at football, cricket or whatever and I think that’s true. 

He didn’t do as well as I thought last season but seems to be fulfilling his potential this year and it’s great to see.

What’s the rule regarding going on the centre green this year?

As Jensen rode down it after making a practice start in his first ride.

Talking of his first ride Mr McGregor missing the most blatant tape touch I’ve ever seen from Jensen and not excluding but instead giving him a warning after the race was laughable.

You get beat last night then.

Would this have been an issue if you had won, somehow i doubt it.

I thought they had done away with the rule for this season.

It wouldn’t of effected the result, we’re pants just wondering what the ruling was about it and complaining about what was an awful piece of refereeing. 

A Glasgow win was never in doubt we didn’t look like getting a heat advantage all night.

If you can get a half decent replacement for Sedgmen and get Pickering back you will be half decent, replacing Sedgmen is a must as you can't carry him any longer , Lawson as well expected more from him.

I agree the side was built on Sedgmen riding to his 14/15 season form of averaging around 7 instead he’s averaging around 4. Lawson in at reserve should hitting around the 5 point mark instead is averaging around 2.5/3. 

Side was built on a bit of a gamble and it’s not paid off.

Does anyone know what our team average will be come the 1st June? 

First rider I would replace is Lawson.  Get someone in who at least turns up ready to race, rather than making repairs that should have been done during the week, not 30mins before tapes up.  

Assuming averages work out Palovaara would be a good replacement for Sedgy for a few weeks (he was in attendance on Fri). Would still keep sedgy in team once fit.

A'd say around about 39 points.

Sedgy has been a good servant but he is a shadow of the rider who performed well in the past, all be it with Cookie as his partner. He  has missed a season and the season before last was released by a few Clubs. Plus a serious injury. Regards to Lawson; totally agreed with you. Unprepared and old machinery leads to inept performances. Don’t see much passion with these 2 guys. Sedgy’s race with young Connor Coles was pitiful to watch, fair play to young Connor.
