screm Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Two race winners all meeting tells its own story for Edinburgh, another maximum for Cook and another very solid score from Kyle Bickley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good score from Andersson and Victor, expected wee bit more from Heeps and Greaves scored well. Another break for us next week's with a juniors meeting so hopefully got our riders back fit and a new reserve line up. Think there will be more than one change come a week on Friday.

MD Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Today is why we should never return to Sunday afternoon racing. Got showered in sh1te watching a shower of sh1te despite track grading and watering almost every 2 heats up to ht10. There is no way you can beat the wind and sun drying out the track during the day. It rides totally different to an evening start and we were out of sorts in the opening heats when we should have put this lot to the sword, 35 points is more than flattering for a struggling team who turned up with r/r for their No1. I dont know why we couldnt start at 7.30 as normal when its cooler, the track retains the moisture and its the school holidays so families arent put off. Arguably the best heats were when the watering stopped with Starke having a stormer in heats 14 & 15 and Connor Bailey getting under Coles in ht14 but the boredom of watching tractor racing in the early meeting killed the normal excitement of a derby for me. Thankfully back to Fridays for the next home meeting. Onward. Edited June 30, 2019 by MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endeavour Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thought our boys put up a spirited performance, well six of them did. Shows how low our ambitions currently are when I am satisfied scoring 35 points at Glasgow. Thanks to Nathan Greaves for his efforts. Would hope that is the last time we see Lawson in an Edinburgh race jacket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Young Kyle seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder at the moment, a wee word with him to wind his neck in a little from someone would help. Deliberately posting on an Edinburgh Facebook page to get reactions from supporters rather unprofessional. Now got himself banned from the page for doing so. Just get on with your speedway no need to go goading people for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a young lad riding with confidence and he is basking in his moment , he done his talking on the track today as well as Friday. I'm sure he will not be fussed about being banned from the page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he is a young rider who needs an older head to have a quiet word, don't read speedway forums never mind post on them. He was the winner today, as he was on Friday, no better response than that. Edited June 30, 2019 by MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eide67 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Good gutsy performance from all 6 Monarchs to keep the score respectable against a really strong Tigers side. The track was not ideal due to the weather forecast, but the track staff worked hard to keep the dust down as best they could and there was still some pretty good races. After a first race last, Paul Starke rode very well for Glasgow and Joel Andersson was the stand out for Edinburgh taking 7 rides including a brave outside burst to win heat 7.

He wasn’t getting stick to start with a picture of the race he touched the tapes in was being discussed to which he decided off his own back to comment on and start making wide remarks to wide people.

But seriously if that is what worries you then you should just throw the towel in , an 18 year old winding you up and the dummy well and truly spat. Keep it up Kyle you hit a nerve there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think your wrong there mr blobby, but i have noticed that the posts have been removed , if people want to discuss events that happened in a meeting that's fine, but then some so called fans started to take it a bit further which is not necessary hence why young Kyle responded to them. I've always been told don't dish it out if you can't take it back. Some of the comments where not even speedway related , maybe the mods should do a better job of regulating them so this doesn't happen again.

The kid is having a laugh on social media, like it or not, that is the way the youth of today express themselves. This is just this generations way of doing what riders like Brett Saunders, Ryan Fisher and even Craig Cook, when he rode for Edinburgh, did post match or on victory laps etc to wind up Glasgow fans. At the end of the day, both teams have had riders that just wind up the other set of fans, but it is also those riders that we need to bring that extra bit of spice to these meetings. If he has been banned, I think that’s quite sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
