Bandits4eva Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Well Big Jim tried his best to ensure the points went back up the road with some very dodgy decisions but we ground that win out! Nasty crash for Bastian after he was brought down and only hope it's nothing serious... But he looked very very uncomfortable sadly :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect a lot more from Kye, Sedgy and Lasse at home. It was a good effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Unfair of the Monarchs to bring their own referee. Two terrible decisions. To exclude Etheridge and not Castsgna was baffling. Worse was stopping the race with the Bandits on a 5-1 when Pickering had totally missed the gate after having a nibble and penalising himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM95 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Ref was poor for both sides. Etheridge decision was bonkers and Josh impeded himself when he jumped but he also let Schlein and Hume away with moving at the tapes. Good effort from the Monarchs although we can’t rely on Josh scoring like that all season. Kye and Sedgy will need to step up and Lasse needs to improve. Good to see Paco starting to find some consistency and showing what he’s capable of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, but think Dick said something about a rule change this year,(couldn't hear clearly), but surely as you say penalised himself, good result in the end hope Jye and Bastian are okay after their escapades great start to the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster00 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Good result against an Edinburgh team I think is far better than most have given them credit for over the winter. From a Bandits perspective it was nice to see a last heat decider go our way and Rory certainly seemed to have the bit between his teeth tonight and gave Picko all he could every time they met and it was good to see him come out on top in the most important race of the night. As for the refereeing decisions, the rule change with jumping at the start means it has to be called back even if someone penalises themselves. I thought from where I was he got the other two correct, Jye looked to take a dive and the Heat 14 one looked like a typical first corner incident, however as with lots of decisions it is subjective and generally depending on what tint your glasses have on you will either agree or disagree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch it on Bandits stream and see if you still think the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 what i saw clearly from both this meeting and the workington 1 is that rory rolls on almost every start but never pulled back now is that just lucky he gets away with it or is there another new rule to allow rolling on the starts] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Bomber frantically grabs every corner of his Kevlar just before lining up at the tapes after going for his spin though. The guy can’t keep still!

That seems a very stupid rule change to me, giving someone a second chance because they broke the rules? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Said before hand would take anything less than 10 and we down just that. Good performances from Josh and paco. Sedgy with his standard Berwick performance interesting we went with him in heat 15. Great to see young Max winning heat 2, Connor also solid. Poor night from Lasse. Kye seems to be have continued on from last year which is not very good which is slightly concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I like that rule. I think the 2 minute rule is a good idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would he deliberately fall off his bike after all his injury issues in recent years? As far as I know he’s not a trained stuntman….

Berwick were away so it probably cost Berwick 2 points (would have expected Josh to catch Freddie). If he was warned for heat 5 like he should have been (he moved before Drew) then at least pulling heat 11 back he would be off a 15m handicap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
