screm Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 As others have said it wasnt exactly a classic last night mostly down to the track conditions which were difficult to say the least but giving the rain we had yesterday we were lucky to see any speedway at all so well done to the Berwick track staff. Somerset made a shrewd choice of guest in Ben Barker as he was the most entertaining rider on show and while his team mates did the best they could it was never going to be good enough to stop Berwick, all his team mates that is apart from Rory Schlein who was a disgrace, totaly unprofessional and an embarrassment to Somerset Speedway, IMO the quicker they are rid of him the better, especially those Somerset fans on the back straight who made the times money and effort to come all this way to support their team, theyvdeserve better. Hopefully the BSPA will get Schlein as far away as possible from our younger riders. Finally I'm Not sure if anyone from the club reads these pages but please can we put an immediate stop to announcing results from meetings that are live at tv on a Saturday night. Yes I know yesterday's SoN meetingsvwss in the afternoon and yes the club put the Berwick meeting back to accommodate those wanting to watch the SoN but there stil some who were recording the tv meeting and didn't want to know the results, sadly out centre green announcer couldnt waitv to announce the Australia win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Scheiln is pathetic , if he is too scared to ride on a wet track then he should hang the kevlars up and retire . Its like me in my trade saying im not working 30 levels up as i dont like heights, id be sacked . he has whinged for longer than i can remember so the Bspa should say thank you and goodbye and revoke his license. Not what you want in your side . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I was going to this meeting but the weather/ Schlein combination put me of, which proved justified.Riders with his attitude are harming the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Schlein really let his team mates down and the fans bet they wish he had the attitude of Barker can't praise him enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Rory was exactly the same at Sheffield a few weeks ago. Did not like the amount of dirt down on the track and spat the dummy out. What he does not realise is he sending out a clear message to opposing clubs, put the dirt down and water the track well and Rory will not race. Maybe over the years those nasty injuries have taken their toll on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it had of been the 2 reserves who packed up in 3 races without making an effort Garry May’s response would of been the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 May and Schlein as bad as each other, pair of softcocks. The PL being primarily northern is sorting the men from the boys isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Schlien caused the postponement of the Ipswich v Glasgow meeting last year and was shouting obscenities at Chris Louis in full view of the paying public. The other 6 witches were willing to ride but the ref let the captains decide and he just said no. That’s the main reason he wasn’t retained I should imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 As a promoter how long do u go paying start money to a rider like schlien knowing full well unless in front he is going to pack up, utter contempt for the fans at berwick last night, notice its very quiet on somerset thread on here!
