Glasgow v Poole/Poole v Glasgow. Playoff Final 2/4th Nov 2021.


Recommended Posts

Typical Poole fans... they win the league p offs and all they do is moan about the ref deciding Craig Cook beat Worrall ! 

Surprised old Middleditch hasn’t lodged a protest. ;-)

As I predicted first few heats were telling... Poole 6 points up after 2 and Glasgow crumbled. 

Well done Poole you won the league and the p offs. Riders can collect their bonus payments free holidays etc etc  and lets see what the BSPL can concoct for team building in 2022.

More about having a team that is competitive instead of being near the bottom of the league with Steve Lawson on his own and virtually nobody else.  A decent stadium, decent track, runners-up the last couple of seasons (not counting 2020), they're certainly competing and that's all you can ask for.  Fine margins after that.  I guess you reckon 3rd placed Leicester and 4th placed Redcar are abysmal then.

Biggest thing for Tigers is that they own their stadium and have facility to practice any time too. A thing rest of clubs can only dream about.

Okay but the ref only saw it in real time and even the photo only has inches in it. 

It was clearly a 5-1. No way did anyone think Cook had got Worrall on the line. Video and photo prove it. Luckily didn’t affect result but what if it had and the Glasgow had won 91-89?

Cook had the momentum from 4th bend coming to the line, prob why ref said Cook. I did think Steve had it but I was by 4th bend so my angle wasn't straight. Although fans in front of me were celebrating and then stopped when they went over the line, like they thought Cook had it. Well my daughter thought Steve had it as well as she filled out 5-1! lol. A bit of scribbling out had to be done!

Here's one with the line drawn in, just for clarity sake

Well, if you are just going to make up where the line goes, you can probably make a good case for yourself...Shame the actual white line is visible between the spokes :rolleyes:

50 years as a Pirate fan & tonight was the most satisfying Championship ever imo.

Glasgow were a great team all season. A joy to watch different clubs all season. The Championship has been a breathe of fresh air. 

Speedway is so tough. The riders are so tough, and losing is so tough. Well done Glasgow for a competitive season.

As for the crowd booing Cookie, what was that about! 

You're all heroes in my book. 

Pirates' 18 League Championship in all.  I'm a happy man tonight.

 

The booing was prob from the time when he squeezed Josh G and he ended up on the greyhound track. Some not forgiven him yet! Although he didn't get boo'd in the previous Glasgow meeting.

What a night , congratulations to Poole, far too strong for us, fully deserved to win the championship, loved the lights in the stand and the singing of sweet caroline and yes us Glasgow fans joined in. Found the Poole supporters very gracious to us in our  defeat, we enjoyed some celebrations in the bar afterwards, Poole fans are the second best fans in the league after us
