Edinburgh v Glasgow CL 29/4/22 @19-30


Recommended Posts

No Monarch outscored their respective Tiger tonight. The score flattered the home side. Masters wasn’t strong enough tonight - 1 win from 6 rides. Ulle was on much better form today - only beaten by Castagna in heat 12. Connor much better than last time - as many points as his last 5 visits. Just need a Broc to find something.

Track was definitely better. Nice to see Sarjeant getting some results too.

I am sure Broc will be fine struggling so far but he will click soon.

Brennan will put three points on his average. Basso a couple too. Those two are a steal. How come Basso was on an assessed 5.00 when he rode for Poole last season? 

It's a confusing one, last year to get a 1st average, 4H & 4A matches were needed. This year just 8 matches are needed (home & away split doesn't matter). Basso averaged 5.00 from his Poole matches, which was quite convenient, otherwise when would they have changed the rules for assessed averaged riders?

With Basso being on a 5.00, doesn't matter if it's an assessed ave or an 8 match ave.

Imagine this situation with Pawlicki at Coventry in 2010/2011, Rosco drops him to keep his assessed ave, but rules are changed & he's no longer on an assessed ave!

I think it was how to was done and lack of communication rather than the average! lol. Laswon's average is about to be 9.16 so guess we are winning that battle atm :t:

Lawson was never going to ride for us again so from our perspective it made sense to move him on.

In return we got a top young rider in Basso as an asset.

 

win win.

Score flattered us as we were absolutely awful. Gating being the main issue, constantly behind going into the first corner race after race. 

Don’t think I’ll ever see a home meeting again were masters and Pickering pick up 2 wins between them. 

Anyway well done to the tiggers on taking full advantage.

Anyway back to last night's slaughter in the sunshine . It was as impressive performance as I've seen from the Tigers at Armadale , solid from 1 to 7 . The highlight being Danyon's win over Masters . 

Praise to the track too , it was as good and fair as I've seen it there   

51-39 is normally quite a comprehensive away win , and it was , though it does actually flatter the Monarchs as they got the majority of their race wins once the meeting was over as a contest . None more so than Kye Thomsen's heat 14 win . He was well off the pace all night before popping out to win that race easily . 

Edinburgh's choice of waiting till heat 11 before putting a t/s in against Cook was quite baffling .

But all in all it was a brilliant night for us on the third bend

Easy win for the Weegies, ominously good team full of improvers who will likely sweep all the trophies this year. Probably the best team since the Monarchs 2014 team in this league. Still i don't think it's all doom n gloom for the Monarchs, still the basis of a competitive team here to get a top 4 place. Too many of the fans on social media losing their chill after 1 defeat Jeez.

This Tigers team gonna unleash a few cans o' whoop ass at some tracks this year and 60pts will be the benchmark for Ashfield.

I hope you are right but I just don't see anyone bettering pugwash over two legs.

Less of the name calling thank you! :nono:;) Think you'll find Glasgow good chance of winning at Poole after stealing two riders of our title winning team :o:P

Of the Poole team only Richard Lawson really has any consistent form around ashfield. Worral and king are up and down. Famous last words :rofl:

Exactly, famous last words. If we go through the season injury free and other teams don't strengthen up we can then think about the playoffs but for now great result but let's see what Sunday brings.

Finally stream available... Must've missed it first viewing but what was Pickering's issue in heat 13? 

I think he thought Cook was a little hard and caused him to go down. Nothing in it though and I think Josh was just frustrated at how the evening had gone tbh.
