You're forgetting the r/r ride.  Folk quick to castigate Brown but all too often its gratuitous and folk just loving sticking the boot in as a habit.  Quite disgusting.  Gang up mentality, folk need to have a long hard look at themselves.

Not forgetting the r/r ride at all, Complin can take his 4 rides, 2 x r/r outings & one of Ace's rides for his 7 heats.

If Ace takes an r/r outing, Complin can take 2 of his rides. 

Can't see how anyone can defends Brown's team managing here.

It's not a rule. 3 ride minimum

just the one racing line in the latter half o the meeting  - 6 feet from the fence. ;-(

 

Which is why we never learn and still have the most important matches in October when its cold and wet and all speedway tracks adversely affected.

Solution - stage important matches when its warm and dry, finish by latest early September.  Could easily have done it if dispensed with the BSN cup and started league matches in early May instead of in June.

No, I am not. 

Ace does not have to take a rider replacement ride.

Do keep up.

You're forgetting the r/r ride that the reserves had to take - one each for Vissing - so the minimum 3 rides becomes minimum 4 rides each.

No it doesn't. First of all we have Glasgow giving themselves extra points on the scoreboard and now a fan making up their own rules lol. Are you Cami? Ace has to have 3 rides and that is it.

Not true,look at it this way,if you were using RR for your No1 why would you give your weakest reserve one of his rides.

They don't have to take a ride. The rule is you must take three rides. R/R can be dished out however you like, within the 7 ride constraint, and the 1-ride constraint for eligible reserves.

There is no 4-ride minimum.

If someone asked if would you take a 14 point margin of victory tonight I would have bitten there hand off, now on reflection we really could have and probably should have put it beyond Poole tonight.

With our abysmal recent showings at Poole you can only hope we sort ourselves out and give it our all.

As some have said for the second consecutive week our team manager continues to baffle us all with his decision making.

How long does he get a free pass with this it is borderline negligence.

Well done Glasgow. Still doable I think though. Depends what Tarasenko is like at ours. Hope he doesn't ask his uncle for tips as he was class in Steve Worrall's testimonial. Although Complin seems to think it is already won which could help us. 

Yeah and no one agreed with him from the comments they read out lol. Another 5 mins and I muted BSN as I can't be listening to Roynon for 2 hours. 

You can be biased all you like.  The replays showed that Thompson took Ace's left leg away.  If you want to be in denial, biased and blind then that's your choice.

What I'm a bit puzzled about TBH is why no-one at all appears to be able to overrule him, or strongly persuade him to change his mind?

Was there no debrief from last week? 

Does Peter or Harris, for example, not discuss a meeting once it's over. 

"Eh Cami see if that happens again next week just gonnae no".

Once again shocked that Pijper got a 4th ride, I find it hard to believe a team manager could be that incompetent, so can only assume he thought Glasgow already had it in the bag or likes getting grief online from fans? There's no way he can think Pijper would have outperformed Complin in that race!

:t:

Our scoreboard is frequently slightly wrong. Never trust it!
