Pinny Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 2 hours ago, BWitcher said: It really is quite simple. Glasgow, led by Cook, pushed off early, no doubt as a way of a bit of spiteful get back at the digs offered over the mic by Eastbourne. THAT should have been the end of it with perhaps a warning to Cook and the other riders. Cook was clearly leaving the track, as you do when the red flag is shown on the parade until the marshal instigated the next incident by needlessly and recklessly stepping in front of Cook. Cook responded, a bit of argy bargy and what would have been the end of it... Until Paul Dugard then takes it upon himself to escalate things further and charge up to Cook and stick his face right into him, no idea what was said, but that caused Cook to throw the first punch. Nobody comes out of it with any credit, but effectively the 'incidents' all ended and were started again by different protagonists. It may not seem savory but reality is, it's great for speedway. Absolutely fantastic in fact. Who wants to miss the next time Cook/Glasgow come to Eastbourne, or indeed even when Eastbourne visit Glasgow next? Bit of argy bargy? cook tried sticking the head on the marshall there is no doubt about it, and if he had connected could of caused untold damage. The marshall instigated the melee there is no doubt about that either, but cook should of just pushed him out the way instead of attempting to head butt the guy with a crash helmet on . If you headbutted an old man in the middle of the street because he walked in front of your moped whilst moving at about 10mph, and the headbutt connected, youd be done for ABH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everyone has agreed that Cook did not headbutt or even attempt to headbutt the marshal, even most of those who were there and said so at the time. He shoulder charged him, that is it. Had he wanted to 'headbutt' him he would have done so. Still waiting for you to pay up on your bet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for you to pay up on your bet I couldnt careless what most agree on, its plain to see in that video he went in head first at the marshall which is classed as a head butt. You can try saying what you like, that was an attempted headbutt. Also , how do you want the bet to be paid? PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woofers Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 11 hours ago, SharpenRake said: In Glasgow's case 3 riders mistakenly (I assume they were advised of the procedures - they are totally different from Glasgow's) rode off before they should have. They must have short memories, all 3 were at Eastbourne on 18th May and there were no problems, issues or mistakes then. In the 15 years that I have been watching speedway at Arlington, I do not recall ever seeing anyone ride off before the introductions have been concluded. Fair play to Rasmus Jensen, who remained stationery and must have wondered what the hell was going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gains leverage. Cook leads with his head to gain leverage for his shoulder. You can’t head butt anyone if your neck is already stretched out to the front.

TheScotsman Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Jeez. Cook assaulted the marshall. End off. Irrespective of whether it was a helmet or a shoulder or a moving bike. It's like reading a celtic match report in this thread. Sweep sweep it wasnae us it was him wie the flag that wasnae green. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icicle Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Headbutt or not Cook did make an aggressive angry lunge, which was followed by mayhem as Uncle Tom Cobley & all joined in ...all very silly & overreacting Edited August 7, 2019 by Icicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 The Scotsman - interesting opinion....... I think if I stood in front of a motorcycle waving my arm the rider might be a little annoyed and suggest that I was being dangerous. Cook over reacted I can see .....but then the whole thing got out of control with Paul Dugard mouthing off in Cooks face to calm things down ?. and getting what he asked for. Then we have 2 Eastbourne riders legging it down the track to help the entertainment .... To be honest if I was the Glasgow team and so aggrieved about the track I would have lodged an official protest and not appeared on the parade at all....but just ridden the meeting and left. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live in the real world Try and shoulder barge one of your mates and you will see that your head doesnt go anywhere near theres , unless of course you class a shoulder barge as a head butt. Also , being Cook who has a pathetic temper at the best of times , why would he go for him with a shoulder barge? He went in with his head and its clear as day in the video thats what happened and cannot understand how people can say otherwise . Just like you see in boxing when boxers go in with their head when fighting dirty , thats exactly what that was . A headbutt doesnt exactly mean leaning your head back first then forward , it means going at someone with your head. Which is what cook done, with a helmet on. And its clear as day in the video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
