Poole have never choked just beaten by a better team on the odd occasion we haven't won the title yet you go on over and over again about us choking because i suppose you thinks it's a really funny thing to say. You were Unlucky with injuries last season. Injuries happen. You play the cards you are given. Poole have had various League winning sides but on occasions have failed to deliver. = Choking. Not sure Lynn choked last season, as you suggest. Then again you are entitled to your opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't win every year. Edited July 6, 2019 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 To say a team has choked is doing the opponent a disservice. The word choke is used by the numerous wum on here to start an argument or gloat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Hans would go along with that idea! I mean if it was said about 2010 then you would kind of have a point. But 2012? Clutching at straws with that one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard anything from SS for a day, what's going on. Ahh yes I think the forum has been down hasn't it. Anyway looking forward to another tough match as always at home. I assume Jorgensen will be riding tonight and hope he continues where he left off last week. Be nice if Cookie can find some form at home to go with his away form, and for Kerr to find some consistency. Another match we need desperately to win to try and get that 4th spot.

lynnboy Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 EDP online say R/R for Jorgensen but he rode for Newcastle without any issues yesterday, guess the Lynn track will be too grippy for him ! Who can his rides will this make us weaker ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Somebody questioned this on Facebook and the club said they were waiting to see how his shoulder reacted for Newcastle last night.....paid eleven suggests it was ok. If he rides tonight then the club have made a mess of this as the radio and press releases have all said that he is out when they could have said he is doubtful, faces a fitness test etc. People aren’t t daft, they know he rides in the second division on Sundays.

semion Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Not sure what time the EDP goes to press but as Newcastle kicked-off at 6.30, I would suggest it was quite easy to change. Just plain lazy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I think it said on website r/r or Jorgensen and then twitter updated to Jorgensen fit and riding. Looking like Poole in for a thrashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame we are not competitive tonight as it’s on tv but we have had some rotten luck with injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
