Mr Blobby Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 If this wasn’t Craig cook don’t think as big a deal would be made as it is. Kidding yourself on if you think otherwise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm now that's a sport I can get behind 2 laps, get off round of boxing, 2 laps, get off fight until knock out... I think riders should be allowed to fight after the race, let them get their frustrations out, then shake on it and have a pint after...

So Cook had to take evasive action…….so what?…..that’s speedway and happens all the time. ……but for him to retaliate by making a move which gave no time for evasive action to be taken is just out and out dangerous. At the time, unlike folks around me, I was putting it down to a racing incident till I read Cook’s disgusting twitter remarks. Basso fined for pushing? Cook let off for deliberately taking someone out?…….what a nonsense. Yep as I said Ben knew what line Cook was going to take as he used that inside line well before. He clearly had the red mist and could have decided to shut off but instead he made the choice and wiped two riders out and wreck two bikes. The problem here is he didn’t take evasive action as he caused it. I am sure Bens ridiculous fine will be covered.

Noelinho Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I didn't have a problem with the crash itself. It happens. We've all seen it countless times. What made it worse in the moment was Bickley collecting Basso's bike, and that it happened after the end of the poly fence, so Basso went into the metal fence. But still, that kind of crash happened more than once at Ashfield just last year. The fisticuffs was funny. Panto at the speedway. Nothing massively wrong with that either tbh. The problem is simply the tweet. Does Craig really mean he did it intentionally? We all make our own minds up. But the fact you can interpret it as intentional is problem enough. You can't have riders even giving the impression they did it on purpose and leave it be. It's sport, not war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF and it's big if cook is to be punished I guess would need an investigation/ hearing Doubt if he'll have a KC in his corner this time if there is.
