Steve Shovlar Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Outrageous roller from Kerr in heat 9 which the whole stadium saw except the Ref Durno. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Was a bit worried when 8 down and still had H13 to come but did well to pull it back. Would have taken a two point loss before the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toady Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Good meeting well done to Poole for keeping close.Not impressed with the Poole fan who relieved himself directly under the cctv camera in the Unipart car park a sure way to lose that facility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Poole beaten for the first time since 2006. Just like buses, two will come along at the same time, and Cheetahs also to win 46-44 tomorrow. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Very good meeting tonight and they way Poole fought back when 8 down was pretty impressive. Considering 13 and 15 had Nicholls, unbeaten at that point, and Sam Masters off 1 and 3 in both, the pirates could have been looking to pull back up to 16 points in the return. But Worrall produced a great ride in heat 13 and Lawson got ahead of Masters for a surprise 2-4 to dent Oxfords hopes and in heat 14 ripped out any realistic chance with a 1-5 to go two up. Nicholls and Masters gated to win the meeting for Oxford in heat 15 but Poole had negated the risk and it would be a major upset if Pirates don’t go through to the final. Ref Durno excelled himself though in heat 9 allowing a clear and obvious flyer for Kerr. The whole stadium saw it but the ref turned a blind eye. Poor show. Special mention for Kyle Newman with his paid 13. Going to miss his scoring prowess when he swaps with Rowe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoombdog Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Made the trip up from Swindon for the battle of the speedway scum bags (only a joke!) The racing was much better than the Robins friendly earlier in the season. Nicholls in heat 4 was absolute class and heat 14 proved you don't have to have a pass for it to be a good race. The team riding by Cook and Newman against a flying Jenkins was very good. Very impressed with the Cook boys. Always a bit jealous when I go to Oxford because of the state of my team but nice to see the good crowds still holding. A rare success story in British Speedway! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerr didn't get a "flyer" because he was only third in the first bend, whether he moved or not. The ref quite often will let it go if the rider who moved didn't get an advantage. I assume you weren't too bothered about it being stopped until Kerr somehow squeezed between Lawson and the back straight fence to move from 3rd to 1st. And, of course, Lawson definitely didn't move last night, did he? Or Worrall? It's clear you only see the movement that you want to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) He rolled Rob. Big time. Everyone saw it, including yourself. If he hadn’t rolled, he wouldn’t have had the advantage to take the lead. Should have been called back. Why do you think all the Poole fans were making such a racket about it after the heat? And we had a better view of it than yourself. If it was rolls reversed you would have been incensed.

foreverblue Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Riders get away with rollers all the time, Kerr got away with one but it wont affect the overall result, we should all be very happy with a two point deficit but Kyle Newman cant rescue us in every meeting so Anders and Adam need to step up.

I think unless my memory isn't playing tricks that they become compulsory sometime in june, so riders had time to get them sorted. Maybe thats PL only and CL and NDL have longer to get set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
