Steve Shovlar Posted May 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Should have won that but definitely would have won it with Drew. Great result for Poole who fear nobody. Will only get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only got a point cause he was missing. You seen him round ashfield? Fair play to Poole, took advantage of missing Tom and unfamiliar track conditions, but it's not a defeat and racing got better and better. Great nights entertainment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentLurker Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Hindsight is a wonderful thing but Glasgow will need get the rider brochure out and start thinking about a change if they want to win the league this season. Tough night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dillon for guesting, some of us appreciate your points! Oh and Glasgow lost out more with Tom not there imo. And Basso not winning a race, but almost did I hear!

Steve Shovlar Posted May 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Yes of course we’ll done to Ruml. Did a sterling job. Ben Cooks away for is a worry though. Very poor tonight. Zac is the better of the two imo. But a great performance when no one gave us a chance tonight. And Havelock is making all the right calls as well!

As much as Tom himself being missing mucking about with riding order made us weaker. Put lot of pressure on basso and Hume. Lawson made a pass, I couldn't believe my eyes lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Great result for us Pirates up at Glasgow. Fantastic 2pts and I agree with Lisa about Dillon doing a good job in place of Drew. It's arguable if Drew wud've got any more but maybe we shall see in the play offs. You could equally say if Ben had scored we wud've won or if we had not had a heat 13 Ostergaard & Cook 5-1 against King & Lawson when we had opened up a good gap we wud've won. All ifs, buts & maybes, in the end a great result for any team to come away from Glasgow with anything other than a toss of the caber!

LisaColette Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 It didn't matter in the end, but if Glasgow didn't get a 5-1 in H13 and stayed 6 down going into H14, could they have used a TS? Or do you have to use it before then? Imagine if we had prem rules, would have got a super heat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seen to race when they have riders missing, but have blank Fridays either side of these fixtures! 6th May - Brennan & Basso missing 13th May - no fixture 20th May - Brennan missing 27th May - no fixture 13th May weekend - Tom was reserve in the Team GB European Team Championship final in Poland and Danyon and Connor were selected to represent GB in a 4's meeting in Germany.

Can't remember seeing a tac ride used in heat 14, just reserve change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better team would have slaughtered us, we were there for the taking. Cook had a rare no scoring ride and Ulle was slow as treacle, despite winning ht13 where it looked like he jumped. Ruml was very good value though frustrating to watch him continually pull the same moves out at the fence and pass Glasgow riders so easily. Ht15 was superb, Cook on his own passing and re-passing Lawson to get the win. We must do better at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I’d say a draw was a fair result tonight. Both guests contributed well. Not sure why anyone would be saying no one gave Poole a chance - complete nonsense. Poole may have been marginally helped by having Ruml, but it was a mixed bag, with 9 heat wins from four riders and two riders providing nothing. Sedgemen replaced Brennan’s points well for the Tigers but as others have said, the shuffling of the order did hurt the other riders. That said, I do think it was probably the right decision to do that. Great to see Broc on much better form, particularly his first two rides. Ullrich really pulled it out of the bag in heat 13, very unexpectedly. He might be missing a bit of speed but he delivered under some decent pressure in that heat. All in, good meeting, good points for both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 And yes, the referee let quite a lot of movement go today. Didn’t pull anything back. Maybe he had somewhere to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should only be pulling the dirt back if we are using gate pattern A, which has us using gates 1 & 3 three times in the last five heats. No one I can think of grades their track to their own disadvantage. Its this sh!t that almost cost us defeat against Edinburgh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
