I told you, I am the sole authority on weirdness in speedway, unless over-ruled by the thumb. Lawson isn't weird.

GLASGOW will again be without skipper Shane Parker and Josh Grajczonek for their weekend action.

Both riders are not quite ready to return to action and Jason Bunyan and Robbie Kessler will deputise for Sunday’s home meeting with Sheffield.

Co-boss Alan Dick said: “Sheffield will be coming to us to take advantage of our problems. It’s been a busy time booking replacements but hopefully the boys will be back soon.”

Erm whit At least we don't try to pull a flanker on the opposition by switching our team around .
Anyway onto today . It's our big-cat cousins from South Yorkshire in town today , and they always give us a hard time . Today should be no different .
For the Emergency ward ten Tigers , The Messiah and his apprentice are still injured , but hope to be back next week . So it's the entertaining Jason Bunyan and not so entertaining Robbie Kessler deputising .
Our other injury victim , erm well his broken fingernail should have healed up by 2011 .
Today's teams are

Hugh Skidmore may have taken more tumbles than the Lesser Compton, but it didn't matter in the end, as paulco's beloved Tigers were handed a stinging defeat by the Yorkshire Tigers:

GLASGOW..40

1..J Grieves..3,2,2,0,2' = 9+1
2..R Harrison..1,1',1,0 = 3+1

Harrison not looking such a clever option now.

Not when paired with Grieves

You're right but Glasgow were right to take a chance on him. He is an experienced rider who used to ride Ashfield well. His availablity came like a shot out of the blue but, in retrospect, maybe they should have stuck with Tornface with an eye on the future.

It's hard to see where the Tigers go now. They are heading for the bottom of the league looking to the return of Shane Parker and Scrabbleman to ease their problems.

Unfortunately the continuing absence of Mrs Brady or suitable replacement is like an albatross round their necks with far too much being asked of young Mitchell Davey who's in danger of returning home to Aussie at the end of the season a physical wreck.

Does the Weirdity William Lawson fit in for Mrs Brady?

Nope - his average is a good half point higher than Brady's.

GLASGOW have been boosted by the return of skipper Shane Parker and youngster Josh Grajczonek for the clash with Somerset on Sunday.

The Tigers have been unable to find a replacement for still-injured Ross Brady but are relieved to be much closer to full-strength.

Co-promoter Stewart Dickson said: "Having two key riders back from injury will make such a huge difference to team strength and morale."

The Weirdity William Lawson signs for Glasgow.

And not a guest in sight at the Messiahdome today for the visit of the cider drinkers . The Messiah himself has risen from the dead and his apprentice is back too . And we have the debut of Scotland's number 2 .
Glasgow Tigers
1 Scotland's number 1
2 Trainee Messiah
3 Scotland's number 2
4 r/r still for mrs brady
5 The Messiah
6 Mitchell Davey
7 Big Lee

Cider drinkers
1 Johnno
2 Simon Walker
3 Nick Simmons
4 Emily Kramer
5 Cory Gathercole
6 Tom Brown
7 Justin Sedgmen

And with his finger hovering over the red stop light button it's the Grand Monarch .
3 points for the Tigers today - no problem .

And a return to winning ways for the heathen Tigers, but being totally out-gunned in Hts 13 and 15 meant that they didn't claim all three points:

GLASGOW..48

1..J Grieves..3,1,3,1,1 = 9
2..J Graczonek..2',3,3,1 = 9+1
3..W Lawson..1,2,2,3,3,0 = 11
4..R Brady..R/R
5..S Parker..3,3,2,0 = 8
6..M Davey..2',0,1,1',0,0 = 4+2
7..L Dicken..3,0,1',1,2' = 7+2

SOMERSET..45

1..S Johnston..1,3,3,2',3 = 12+1
2..S Walker..0,0,2,1 = 3
3..N Simmons..2',0,0,1 = 3+1
4..E Kramer..3,2,2,2 = 9
5..C Gathercole..1',2,6,3,2' = 14+2
6..T Brown..1,0,0,0 = 1

That's two points to the Tigers and a point to the Rebels.
