So after Badge's selection of Eric Boocock, we move onto a new week.
Now it can't escaped the attention of many that it's a big week in Scottish speedway, with the Tiggers (as Midnight Lady has advised me they are called) and the Moanarchs (likewise from Paulco) going head-to-head in Premier Trophy competition. In fact, I'll be heading up on the train to stay at Chateau Paulco to witness myself the two heathen derbies at the Stadium Of Mince and the Messiahdome.
So, this week we've have Paulco and Snyper picking the two awards - Paulco picking the Flapperjack Of The Week and Snyper picking the Mutt's Nuts.
And they don't have to choose until Sunday evening, therefore allowing both the heathen derbies to take place first.
So does that mean both a FOTW and Mutt's Nuts for the future GP star, or will someone else step forward. I guess we'll have to wait and find out...

I'd like to nominate people complaining about passionate sportsmen (in this case Nicki P, but the same goes for anyone, be it Gollob, Crump, or even Alonso.) www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=48001&hl=Where would we be without these guys? We'd have nothing to talk about apart from another dull "race" by another dull rider. Love them or hate them, riders like Nicki are good for the sport, and I can't imagine how boring it would be without them. |

More than happy to second that one. I remember when speedway had characters and it sure livened up proceedings. I remember a visiting team at Boston (Poles I think tho could have been Russian). One of them upset a young Russell Osborne who ran the length of the centre green wielding a six foot shovel in a very alarming manner  . Thankfully he was knackered by the time he got to the object of his attention and did not use the shovel in anger. He got the biggest cheer of the night. The entire Belle Vue team tried to invade the refs box at Lynn one day after one of their team was knocked off. All good clean fun which added to the entertainment, especially when one of them fell flat on his arse when trying to clear the fence. They'd be banned nowadays but it did no one any harm. |

Genghis for saying Neil Harris is a football prima-donna.
Tut, tut Genghis back to the 'don't use your mouth until you lodge your brain'.
Harris is one of the few footballers in the modern era who connects with the working class bloke and through his struggles with cancer and playing for Florist came out of the other side to do good and be thankful to all for his opportunity.

And how was I supposed to know that - some of us don't give a shite about the highly overrated game that is football.  All we see are overpaid wankers such as Drogbaa. I've already apologised to LW once I realised that my comments were inappropriate. |

IF Jarek Hampel's food poisoning turns out to be a 'strange' 24 hour bug and he rides in Sweden tomorrow then he deserves a nomination. Being a Monday night team I get pissed off at riders who ride in Poland on a Sunday and Sweden on a Tuesday but are strangely 'injured' or 'ill' if they have to come to Monmore on the Monday in between.
I'll hold off a firm nomination until we see what happens tomorrow in Sweden!

Lukas Dryml gets my nomination, wtf was he doing having a go at Troy Batchelor who was still down on the track after tonights heat 10 crash! IMO it was a racing incident, but if you're going to have a go, at least let the bloke get to his feet first.
1st class tosser.

My nomination was going to go to whoever buggered up the normally superbly prepared Leszno race track for Saturdays GP but seeing as my hero won I'll overlook it.
My vote this week is split between 2 people. Step forward Krzysztof Kasprzak and Charlie Gjedde (yes, again). Kasprzak for not being one bit interested in the meeting tonight at BV against the Panthers. Never gated once and when at the back was far more concerned about popping wheelies. Only time he showed some fight was when he wound it on going round bends 3&4 of the last lap of heat 13 to pass..................................................................................................Charlie Gjedde. Bjerre and Iversen had already finished the race by this point.
Charlie Gjedde for riding like a complete novice. Twice he locked up going wide on bends 1 and 2, the first time 360ing it and retiring. The second time he did he then carried way too much speed into bends 3&4 and landed flat on his arse. Ref DQ'd him and he then has the nerve to rant and rave at Chris Morton on his way back into the pits.
Our top 2 riders and they score a flapperjack rewarding 5 points between them.

Am I to assume that Kasprzak's contract has a "Ht 15" clause in it, or was it just gross stupidity from Chris Morton that saw Kasprzak line-up in the final race at Kirkmanshulme Lane tonight?

I've no idea but I can only put it down to gross stupidity. We won the toss and took 2&4. Morten had been gating well all night so I guess the idea was for Morten to gate and clamp Iversen and hope Kasprzak would gate over Bjerre. Trouble was KK hadn't made a single start all evening so what was Morton thinking he was going to do it in heat 15? We'd have been better off with James Wright, at least he'd have had a go but read my commen on the updates site about heat 14 and you'll realise he probably wouldn't. |

Ghengis is a good call, but shovlar is making a strong claim once again.
Not only does he approve of Poole's cheating by throwing matches to get their averages down, he's now gloating at Swindon's injuries at Eastbourne last night.
First class cnut in anyone's book.

So that didn't really help.  |
