As mentioned before, that's not Richard Juul. I doubt he'd ever met the guy prior to signing in UK. Does Mitch Davey mentor cookie? I highly doubt it!! Mentor, an experienced and trusted adviser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are plenty of other ex riders with lots of experience available to advise and guide Ben. I'm sure he is getting plenty good advice being part of the Danish National Development Squad Well you obviously don't understand logistics my freind IE as I've seen with my own eyes in dickies workshop how he cleans & preps the bikes for the rider or riders he's looking after & that's giving them somewhere to stay over in our country.. & by the way when he & young basso fell out there was a number of phone calls from abroad asking for his ( dickies) help which he has now agreed to.. so obviously somebody who rides in Poland/ Sweden/ Germany/Denmark & great Britain know how valuable our former diamond Danish Geordie is Edited June 3, 2023 by Justgotmecpc Error 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if you scour the forums for hours you might find the odd quote here and there, but ask the fans and you'll find we're quite happy with what we've got (and hopefully more so at the end of the season). So these keyboard warriors aren't Redcar fans? I'm sure it was the same with Glasgow fans wanting wholesale changes after Tuesday night - a vocal minority 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 A great piece published this week: https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/23565066.glasgow-tigers-putting-heart-back-hardscrabble-glasgow-district/ A shame Kevin turned up to see Glasgow lose on Tuesday! Although for racing, it was definitely better than Friday overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 With Pearson dropped by Birmingham, would he score more points than Complin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At start of season I'd probably have taken him over Lee, but he's not improved like I expected based on his scores in polish U24s. I do prefer guys on the way up than those on way down but no sure would make any difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 If you’re going to replace Lee, it has to be a clear upgrade. For all his inconsistency, he has a great rapport with the fans. There would be a lot of unhappy people if he was sent away and the replacement wasn’t clearly scoring better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast1rn Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 If there was a stronger 4 pointer out there I'm sure Glasgow would already have snapped them up. The way the team was built this year all the pressure was going to be on Lee to compensate for an up and coming 16 year old at 7. The reality is our 7 is scoring above and beyond his average our 6 is struggling is to meet his. Unless there's a hidden Aussie superstar that hasn't raced in Poland or Denmark before, waiting back south of the equator for his chance to shine then I feel it may be a limp end to the season when the stronger reserve pairings come calling.

Those single points are what could make or break us in the play offs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 I'm not being funny.... But you're winning matches still and moaning about a "struggling" reserve....
