However, Glasgows reserves won't be that poor at home and you wouldn't expect Cook or Jensen to drop many points either. So both teams have it all to go for. Poor refereeing decisions, didn't he the think Vissing touched the tapes then? The tapes did not go up right on the inside and when cami asked the COC. To check them after he had been excluded he was right and told the ref but the ref still refused to change his decision Edited October 20, 2019 by mac101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingersfin Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Fun night with the Tiggerati on the back straight. Need everything to go our way on Tuesday, hopefully lady luck will even up Cookie's blow up. Only 'dubious' decision mentioned was that the tapes went up unevenly for the exclusion of Claus but I had no view of that. Heat 15 was just the boost we needed before heading up the road. Nice setup at Leicester and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming apart from Lawlor and Perks.

topaz325 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Would have gone up to Glasgow but Tuesday would mean two days off work, but I suppose with it getting near the end of October they need to get the meeting over with. I wonder if it will affect the crowd numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 It will be tough for the Lions to keep this lead and can see why Glasgow are confident if we had lost by 12 away we would fancy chances of pulling it back. Leicester will need to be at their best and pick up points from the middle order of the team if they are to be crowned Champions. I do hope that I am wrong but have a feeling that the dropped points in ht15 could be crucial in the aggregate score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two decisions the ref had to make was to warn Proctor in heat one for delaying the start and then to exclude Vissing for going through the tapes.

GlasVegas Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Enjoyed my first visit to BP, nice set-up although the approach/parking set-up is a bit odd. Speaking to some Lions fans afterwards, in reply to being asked about the generally poor quality of racing, they suggested that the track had clearly been prepped to gain a home advantage - unsurprising perhaps. Definitely wanted to get a few points more than we did, hopefully lady luck will level things out for Tigers come Tuesday night though. Leicester have a terrific away record this season and that alone must suggest they will push 40pts on Tuesday night, a 12 point lead makes them firm favourites in my book. The tie is very finely balanced though, and Glasgow absolutely can turn the tables … heats 12-15 on Tuesday could be sensationally tense!

Is our team manager always going to blame bad luck and poor refereeing desicions, it is not very gracious in defeat and not the first time. He should congratulate his opponent on there victory then get the boy's fired up with his comments in private. Just my opinion. Always thought Brown has swallowed a book on Sports cliches. Dont think Leicester have enough of a lead to win overall. 12 points could be clawed back in first 5 heats. Who are Leicester using as a guest?

Assume Jake Allen was unavailable as he was the obvious guest choice for the Lions at Ashfield. If Cook does not experience the mechanical problems he had on Saturday, then he together with Rasmus Jensen are likely to go through the card on Tuesday. Likewise the Glasgow reserves should outscore their Lions counterparts who enjoyed a 9 - 2 advantage at Beaumont Park. I also cannot envisage Worrall scoring as much as guest Lawson's 11 on Saturday. Therefore expect Tigers to comfortably win by more than 12, and even if it went to an aggregate draw, who would bet against Cook & Rasmus Jensen winning the initial Golden Heat for Glasgow?

I may be wrong here but Jake Allen was used by Redcar in the semi-final. I seem to remember something being said you can't guest for another team in the play offs if already guested for one. May be well off the mark here right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
