King Jamie Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Children's evening at sunny Armadale brought chaos on and off the track last night. On track, incidents and delays were the main dish on offer while, off it, almost 3 million whippersnappers ran amok, obviously desperate to sample the delights of West Lothian's plushest venue before it changes ownership. And enjoy a shot on the bouncy castle of course. The meeting did have a number of noticeable achievements. Josh Pickering returned to his unbeaten best with a dominant performance and Jacob Hook bagged his first (and second) win(s) for the club. His reserve partner, young Blair, unfortunately wasn't aboard a weapon of mass destruction (or, looking at his scorechart, perhaps he was). Overshadowing all of these, however, was young Fredriksen who notched his first paid maximum in Monarchs colours, despite being used as a human skittle by his jealous opponents. Firstly, soap dodging guest Brennan dumped him off in true Martin Dugard / Sean Wilson fashion after a tight finish in heat 1. Then James Shanes completed his bulldozing expedition in heat 6 with a game of wipe out before exiting stage left in a cream puff. There was an announcement over the tannoy requesting the removal of a white van. Perhaps Shanes volunteered is do it with his bare hands. Of the other Brummies, the missing Vissing was ably covered (not sure the bar enjoyed being left with 300 unsold cans of Irn Bru though), Nielsen was very lucky to not only avoid exclusion from heat 8 but also still (hopefully) be in one piece, Sedgy looked edgy and young Morris will be dancing all the way to the Bank after his double figure return. Roll on Friday. It's the Weegies again. Joy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Was the Shanes situation about not wanting to breathe in somebody else's respiration from their helmet ie a covid thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it has been confirmed. Helmets should be a good fit obviously and maybe he didn’t want to take the risk with someone else’s that he a) couldn’t be sure it would fit well and b) didn’t know the history of the helmet. I don’t think his decision is too ridiculous tbh. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz9100 Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 I guess what would happen if he got injured whilst wearing someone else’s helmet. Would his own insurances cover him? Too big a risk I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and having driven/travelled back from the Longtrack meeting the day before (a feat Aarnio failed to accomplish) a meeting where he was only reserve and watched Bomber piddle about from the sidelines, he was then faced with a struggle and Edinburgh so pee-ed off is probably fair. As for finding replacement helmets i suspect largely there wasn't one big enough for his ego to fit into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not a fan of streaming it seems! I find individual clubs streaming to be better than BSN, but maybe they are set up completely differently idk.
