Chucking their arms in the air every time Craig was out to try persuade the ref. Seeing dick on his hands in knees when Leon packed up cherry on top of a good win. Dick must have been taking lessons from Michal Max at Glasgow on how to be a Centre Green referee .Very entertaining match.

Craig moved in at least 4 of his races. Why Jason wasn't excluded in heat 12 is baffling as that would be the 3rd or 4th time he was moving. Good enjoyable meeting made better with the banter between the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted July 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Best meeting I have seen this season at Berwick, admittedly I have not been to every meeting but last night I was happy to pay my £20 with an entertaining meeting with some very good racing. Leon Flint and Berwick can feel hard done to when his back tyre gave up while in second place in the last and deciding race, but ultimately the race is over four laps and not three and one quarter, anyway the reason for the loss cant be put at that particular door as that would be foolish. Once again the opposition out numbered the home side in race winners and once we head into the last few races, and the away team have a strong one and five, Berwick usually come un-stuck, as they did last night. Add in one or two strange managerial decisions and you have your reasons for another home defeat. The long term future for Edinburgh Speedway is uncertain, if they do come to the tapes in 2024 then I would be getting a contract under the nose of Bastian Borke, on first viewing last night Edinburgh have something special on their hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ridiculous post, maybe you could ask why Bandit59 didn't attend. What do you suggest, take away the Berwick live stream, or BSN for that matter.

SteveLyric2 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Apologies if this has already been covered, but just catching up on BSN. How is it Craig Cook got a heat 15 d/q as well as a second warning and was still allowed to restart on 15 meters? As it turned out it wouldn't necessarily have affected the final result - just interested......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 15m or a reserve is the option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted July 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Thing with Craig Cook moving at the starts, did he really need to do it, seems to me he was quick enough to win races with the moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would let anyone who doesn’t touch the tapes go unless they’ve rolled. If riders want to gamble and duck as the tapes go up then good luck to them I say. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand how you feel but rules are rules and under normal circumstances it is damn nigh impossible to do anything off 15m at Berwick. Really tough for young Leon but that’s speedway. Certainly shut Dick B up ✔️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many rules these days seem just to be whether the referee wants to enforce them or not... there are lot of new refs around these days and you have to wonder whether they're on top of the rule book and/or whether they get assessed once they've "passed" their induction phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is with these multi usernames on the Berwick threads is that is doesn't take a genius to work out what is going on, and if those who use them for their own entertainment are connected to the club it shows the club in a poor light, especially when attacking a clubs supporter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Bandits “fans” may not agree but then again what will they complain about if we were unfortunate enough to be in the position of Newcastle, Eastbourne or so many other fan bases. It was Good meeting.Chip on the shoulder regarding rest of your Post.IMO.This is Speedway Forum not the “ Dirt Extra”.which has gone quiet recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
