Jonny the spud Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 4 minutes ago, Wild Man Vic said: Ipswich cost themselves points with various falls etc. but the standout element of the night was the truly dreadful refereeing! I think she needs to watch it back when she gets home and then realise it is time to hand in her licence because that refereeing performance was an absolute disgrace!! Come on Christina - if that's the best you can do in such a crucial meeting then do the right thing and pack it in! We should all be talking about the meeting not the refereeing! It was truly baffling. To the riders ( of both teams), managers, spectators and TV commentators. There’s either a serious lack of talent or maybe a theory of a match fixing / betting scandal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Absolute shocking performance from the referee but then again isn’t she always the same. Heat 8 & the fall by King was the turning point of the meeting & he had no reason to go so far wide. Really impressive performances from Tom & Dan Thompson. Does Masters ever win a race from behind as I’ve yet to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 (edited) Wasn't Turnbull the referee at Oxford as well when Nicholls got excluded riding for Ipswich in Heat 15 after Tungate knocked him off? Edited September 12 by TTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mikebv Posted September 12 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 12 4 minutes ago, old bob at herne bay said: Do speedway referees get marked on their performances by league official in attendance at these P.Off meetings? Putting the result to one side, referee Turnbull had a really poor meeting , making some blatant errors. She is clearly not of a standard to referee these prestige meetings. Maybe a more experienced referee ought to be selected for these high pressure meetings. You don't need to be experienced to look at a monitor, (several times), see Max Fricke lift and wipe out an opponent, and then exclude him... Nor need to be experienced to see the same thing happen in two races, and make the same decision on the second occasion that you made previously... It is glaring you in the face in slow motion several times... I am truly amazed that anyone could make so many, not even close decisions, so poorly... Especially given you get the chance to watch them back as many times as you need to... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clemens Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Maybe the ref thinks that controversy maketh a meeting Have you thought of it from that angle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW436 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Since the Russians can’t stop Bartosz strolling to another world title without much trouble maybe get Christine involved to spice up the GP series. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40-38 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 I'm amazed how many people have been insinuating it's somehow Leicester's fault the ref is crap. We gave Ipswich more than enough chances over 2 legs to put us away, we're probably the most generous side in the play offs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 As if Ipswich havent had enough bad luck losing the two best riders in the league they get Turnbull as referee, she was an absolute joke with her decisions, refs obviously make mistakes but her performance went beyond that tonight, it went into the category of corrupt, how can she makes so many bad calls in one meeting? She needs a ban imposing and investigating. Surely the authorities have to take action? Feel for Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler42 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Surely who ever gave her the meeting should be questioned. Who decides what meetings refs are given? She should never be allowed to referee a speedway meeting again. Anyone ref half sensible would have taken track conditions into account regarding 1st bend incidents. The only decision she made against Leicester was a shoe in, yet she took ages make it. Frick was out of control when he came out of the gate in heat 13, but she obviously did not agree and gave him the benefit of doubt.. No such luxury afforded to Rew in his 1st race! She showed so much incompetence, You do have to consider if there was any match fixing going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Shame the weather affected track conditions. Shame the referees decisions influenced the outcome. Couple of very questionable calls. Both which went against Witches. But let's be honest Leicester are going to give the Tigers of Owlerton more of a contest in the final than 5 Witches & 2 guests.

If you can post your frustration here copy and paste it into an email and just press send. I am not a supporter of either of tonight’s teams and feel the meeting was decided in the worst possible way by an inept referee. They said on tv even the Leicester riders couldn’t believe Rew’s exclusion. SCB chair: jim.lawrence@scbgb.co.uk Sent,I feel that strongly about it.They need to wake up a smell the coffee and suspend referee's that make constant blunders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
