It happened in 1968 but, as said, it can still happen now as it’s listed as 8th in the tiebraking procedure by FIFA themselves. Look up if you don’t believe me - or don’t, and keep arguing. I'm not arguing and I do believe you. I also couldn't give a toss what another governing body do in a completely different sport, their drawing of lots is at the end of a very exhaustive procedure and if it were to happen in the next world cup the world would go into meltdown on the back of it. Maybe you think the gates should have been decided on penalties? Bring a 5 a side goal out and have a shoot out. Back in the 70's, in speedway, qualifying in the 2nd half events was often given to the fastest 2nd place rider, so it's nothing new... but if you want it decided on the toss of a coin, so be it Edited September 1, 2023 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted September 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 7 minutes ago, BackInTheDHSS said: This does seem a bit of strange discussion to be having, and feel the thread would be better used to congratulate Glasgow….however… A coin toss is literally used at the start of every football game to decide which end each team gets etc. Now while this isn’t exactly groundbreaking, it’s barely any different from a coin toss to decide which semi-final Glasgow or Oxford should be in is it? It barely (if any) impacted the result, just like the coin toss at the start of a football match. Should they have a quick five a side game before kick off instead if everything should be performance based? Exactly. The coin toss simply decided which team was in which semi as they were tied in pretty much every way. Pretty simple stuff. A certain person is acting like it decided the outcome of the meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U21 World title about 2005. Some Czech rider who rode for Redcar & Poole lost the ballot I think. Tomas Suchanek... rings a bell. Was hopeless on these shores. Just got home, enjoyed the racing later on. Peterborough err Glasgow deserved to win. Only pair that rude as a team all night Wright was very good but he left King in the final chasing the win after they were both well in front of Harris King refused to move off the white line all night. Batchelor didn't try, Lawson didn't in his first two rides. Howarth was poor. Edited September 1, 2023 by Col 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just a bit of banter with Cast1ron. Pairs is better than nothing though. If that turns out to be the case. Probably win another trophy with the top 5 you have though. If Glasgow do will you still be moaning about the reserves or not? Don't worry Lisa, I got the banter, forum rules state, " 3.6.1 No personal attacks against any member except Steve Shovelar" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Racin Jason 72 Posted September 2, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 I wonder if batch would have been pulling wheelies at the back if Stewart Dickson had been present ??? and if so what Stewart’s reaction have been when he returned to the pits. Both Batch and Craig cook need to decide if they want to continue riding speedway then they either give it everything or give up. This half hearted efforts do them or the promotions no good at all. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said he was after the Wild Card? Surely another British Champion title was uppermost in his thoughts.
