By the accounts of others Foord has been riding on borrowed air time because of those air fences he has destroyed in the past? I don't know... no doubt crashing into a solid fence head on would focus the mind somewhat in the future!

Pinny Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 (edited) 1 hour ago, Odds On said: absolute gash about it being Scott's fault...at Poole you start turning left just about on the starting line or close after, unless you are going for the dirt line then you carry the straight another ten yards or so, Vinnie had gained speed out of bend 4 tried go up the inside for a gap that wasn't clearly there, instead of shutting off and biding his time he nailed Scott. Dress it up as much you like but there's the facts, its not the first time a young lad has made a mistake with over exuberance and certainly won't be the last. Exactly. its mental how anyone can come to the conclusion that Scott was at fault for that and not Foord. I've been watching speedway for 25 years and its one of the most clear cut exclusions I have ever seen. The more you watch it , the worse it looks. Some of the people defending it are the same people who defended Holder in 2012(?) when Holder wiped Pedersen out on turn 1 when he lost control in the semis of the final GP of the season. Mainly Poole fans. Claimed Holder had nowhere to go that time too. Deluded. Edited October 10 by Pinny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 I saw him twice at Workington this season and never thought he was dirty,Might be because it was a final last night and more on the line. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Disregarding who was at fault last night ( looks to be Scott probably), unfortunately there will come a time, probably sooner than later, when he won't bounce if he doesn't calm down or alter his technique slightly. Tom Brennen had a couple of really bad crashes and injuries early on as a 16/17 year old, had far more ability than Vinnie, but over tried trying to compete with heat leaders from word go. Learnt his lesson improved his technique and strength and look where he's going now, can be done and hope Vinnie can learn but we'll see...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Regarding the Scott/Foord incident, just watch Heat 5 (as an example) and see where Sam Masters starts to turn as he crosses the start/finish line. Jody Scott did the same, as do many others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7KDD Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 The entire Poole team is a disgrace. Lawson spitting the dummy when clearly took out Masters. Tobias Thomsen dropping the C bomb on TV and then gesturing to the crowd at the trophy. Vinnie Foord fencing Luke Killeen, then Jody Scott and antagonising the crowd. A terrible advert for the sport and I bet the SCB do nothing.......fines and bans should be dished out to Thomsen and Foord. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually made it look interesting on TV for a change. I watched as a neutral, and found myself rooting for Oxford as the two meetings went on (Lord knows why!), but the way people are moaning about Poole actually having a bit of character and spirit is ridiculous. Do speedway fans really just want deckchairs, flasks and programme boards? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Revenge plans from the Oxford fans at Oxford leg of the cup so far: Boo the whole Poole team on parade. Have a 'word' with Vinnie in the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 'Foord was excluded from the re-run, but seemed to find the whole incident funny, laughing and further inciting the Oxford fans. It was deeply unprofessional behaviour and hopefully the Poole management will take action against their rider.' Nope, your fans incited him first tbh. His reactions were to their abuse. You want action against Vinnie, then take action against your fans as well. Can't have it both ways. 'Meanwhile, a third Oxford rider in three races found themselves on the deck in Heat 3. Ashton Boughen made a good start, but Zach Cook cannoned into his rear entering the first bend and Boughen also needed medical treatment before continuing in the meeting.' Because Ashton came off the throttle, that's all on him. To blame Zach is laughable. https://oxfordspeedway.club/news/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
