It was one and it cost Sheffield a point as the re run was a 4-2 and if Hume had have been excluded it would have been a 3-3 In the semi final Connor Bailey was not under power when a race was stopped yet was still awarded a point that ultimately almost cost Ipswich….. hasn’t been pages and pages about the ref from Ipswich fans Instead of blaming the ref perhaps Sheffield fans can look at the performances of certain riders as the issue ….. and the petulant brat at number one smith fell on last bend bailey could have pushed home if he needed to he just rolled over line so point was correct decision !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referees make mistakes, that is a fact. As for Lambert words escape me, well one springs to mind!! If i I was Sheffield I would postpone now, a damp track would favour Ipswich in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 could some of the Sheffield natives explain to us neutrals which Ipswich riders usually go well around Sheffield and the one's that don't....genuinely interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry have a look and then get back to me Bailey broke down before Smith fell - fact Smith fell bend 4 LAP THREE!!! Bailey could have pushed home for a lap and a half yes …… but the rules of the sport are simple …if you are not under power WHEN A RACE IS STOPPED … you are excluded Much different to a race completing 4 laps and then a guy pushes home for a point as the race has reached a conclusion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure from this quote there are only 2 ways of thinking Either you don’t know the rules or you haven’t watched it …. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you haven’t seen it Bailey broke down on lap 3 Smith fell on lap 3 Race was awarded…. NO TIME WAS GIVEN If a race is awarded then the result is given in the positions of the race that at that point ……..At that point Bailey wasn’t in the race he had broken down You can’t push home for a point if you have broken down in a race that has been awarded…. You can push home when only 2 riders have finished the full 4 laps Us Ipswich fans know we got lucky with Hume not being excluded on Tuesday and I’m sure Belle Vue fans know they got lucky with Bailey being given a point As I’ve said I’m guessing you haven’t seen it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ifs buts and maybes b0llocks. Stop trying to make excuses for a team that fails, and discredits the team that succeeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Looking forward to my final speedway fix on TV tonight. Whilst all us neutrals would like to see the aggregate outcome go down to the last couple of heats, I just cannot see Sheffield producing enough race winners. They need at least five more heat advantages than Ipswich. If Emil & Doyle are on it, the rest of the Witches won't need to do very much.
