Gareth tried to pm u the other day m8 just to say that on reflection and the replies to the post I got,I jst had a bad race,it's happened to better men than me n will do again,after reading the replies m8 I don't think it's gonae be a big difference where we go next season but I'll be at the gam to have my vote,also like to say I never blamed anyone for my race but myself it was just that I thought my birds were coming into a bit of form then bang..wisnae expecting it but that's racing nowadays I suppose,on a better note I came home from work tonight and another one back fae sat,so that's 3/4 noo I'm no dain that bad considering some of the other fancies losses,atb for the rest ae the season m8, kennybhoy

She's a cracker George..hope u get a race oot her m8,although it's very hard for a bird on the nite in our sec,I've timed a couple for ma old man a couple ae years back second day n that was exciting for me,would love tae c one on the nite m8,atb,kenny

Funny farm expletive remove just went oot the back tae clean the lofts n realized wen a gave the birds fresh water this morning a forgot to put the top back on the yb: ,they've had a great wee day taking turns bathing in it, :emoticon-0179-headbang: , anyone got the number for pigeons Samaritans,wtf wrong wae me this wk..gonae have a cold the nite feeling stressed,lol,aye yeez are rite guys taken it far too serious at wkend just need to enjoy ma wins n no go to far intae it wen a have a bad yin plenty more to come I'm sure..cheers for the advice guys,atb kenny,ps if u can't laff at yourself then you're takin life to seriouse..just like me last nite pmsl

Cheers m8dont feel as bad today but would've felt better if my cheq cock was sitting in the loft when I get home but don't seem to be gettin them on the second day,anyway been on the phone to rupert Murdock to c if a get use his satelite dishes to c what happened he's just af the phone n says their wis two birds 5 mins ahead ae wee robbin fae camby but Percy wiped them oot( must've been ma 2 that's tae cum) :lol: :emoticon-0136-giggle:,atb gulkie n cheers for the post

Aye ano m8,but after thinking about it and thinking of some of the things the guys and advice I'm thinking I'm only a small team and on a day yesterday with the speed the birds were homing at the birds could be in Aberdeen as far as I know v strong winds,also better men than me have lost better pigeons than me and will do again,to be honest a wiz expecting a descent race from them as I thought the loft was starting to hit a wee bit of form,so I suppose I was a wee bit shocked as well,as I said it's my first ob season and yest was a big learning curve for me(I know I'm punching above my weight just now),I got one at 8.27 last nite well flown but not injured so he's ob went on too far,also I never once blamed anyone for my bad race but I hope that's my last bad yin for a while(don't want tae b on here greetin again next wk)lol,ii feel sorry for the missus wae me strop pin about the hoose no wantin tae talk tae anybody haha,thanks to all for the replies and advice but it doe sent make me feel any better when other guys hav had stinkers too..like ma old always says tae me when their in the basket or in the sky their no your doos tae their back in the loft,cheers for the reply higg n hope you get some more back,atb for rest of season bud,kennybhoy

I'd just like to say thank you to all the men who took time to give me their advice last nite,I was gutted lastnite(still am) but in reflection that's pigeon racing one min ure up next ure back wondering what you did wrong,I've never changed the way I set them up for the races so maybe that's it(don't think so tho ) I think they've either been blown way off course or Percy's got them,I'd like it to be the first one as I'd have a chance of getting them back but after seeing big d hays photos and some of the other stories I've heard I think Percy's had a go at them,anyway that's me officially been taken off suicide watch..lol.of to work now,thanks guys atb for the rest of the season and have a nice day,kennybhoy

Good mornin all

That's aw I'm trying to do m8 get advice of experienced fanciers..ano I'm bitching a bit canae help it I'm trying tae sprint b4a kin.walk big mistar..but still stick by y original opinion should ae get beatwae4 hoursin blow hame,atb in the nationals

Agree George they've done me proud ,I set out to get on the result on derby race,well I done betta than that won ma club n got 2 on the raesult taking aw ma pools us doo-men r Neva happy,that's it iv a don't take the first six in the fed next wk I'm chucking it(only sending two )lol,,*expletive removed* it m8 need tae hold ma hands up,a had a stinker but still got a timer,just gutted ma timers no even at next wks races..haha,onwards n upwards..so they say,atb bud

Excellent flying guys :emoticon-0137-clapping:

Ouch!!!!!

I think that's more than enough time Gareth,,I was only want to know y we weren't libbed tae 8 when most Feds went about )6ish as I've said I don't blame anyone for my bad returns my old man had excellellent returns,I just had a bad race and as it's my first season trying to come to terms with it coz as I see it I should Neva be 4hours behind the winnersin a 291 blow hame race,just trying to figure out what I've done wrong,atb kenny expletive remove sake don't tell me that I've got the rope n stool ready the noo .lo,

That's rite I heard wee Wilkie millen lost 4first section winners lst wk dnt whether it's true or not but il tell u this much I've got enough birds to see the season out n I'll tryn dae that aw am sayin is for newcomers into this sport it harder to take than it is for the experienced guys n way comments like you've just made to a new starter just lookin for advice how do u expect them tae stay in the game,way guys way ure attitude it's maybe time u shut up .or wid u just be be happy to kill aff the pigeon game,kennybhoy

Well done all

George I've already stated I wouldn't be a race controller for all the tea in china &and at no point did I blame the controllers I only wanted to know why we weren't up as early as other Feds. As we weren't informed of y we were 2 hours behind most org,not saying I'd have had a betta race m8 sometimes u've gotta be honest with yourself and your birds just weren't good enuf on the day or with the strong winds they've made a slight mistake and as I'm only racing yearlings could well b the case m8,but that's only this race not previose ones were guys have lost 20/40 pigeons in one race I'm just thinking there's got to b something we can b doing to make it better racing..I just don't know the answers m8 that's why I'm asking the experienced men,atb kenny

Aye frank but if the racing keeps going this way I or any other new start won't have to give up and walk away coz there will be no pigeons for us to race(fact),and do you really think I or any new start wants yo give up and walk away after the time and investment I've gave to my birds nothing would be harder to do than turn my back on them,I love my birds and want to see them home on race days but if experienced men are finding it tough then how tough dyu think I'm finding it,something has to change for the better of our sport & what I'm saying is how can wee expect to attract new fanciers into the sport with the racing were exp lately,I wish I had some answers but I don't but surely between youse more experienced men then youse have a better idea of what changes have to be made than me,atb kennybhoy

I I know that guys ma old man had a great race winning club and return wise,but sorry Joni the fed book states eap lib so theirs no excuse for that,also got to take my fare share of hits bop wise,at the end of the day im new to the game and want my birds to be in the tickets every week( we all know that's not poss unless ure a top flier which I'm certainly not)but IMO I should Neva be 4hours behind winner in blow home from 291 miles,but on a better note just checked th loft and I've another one at 8.27 obv well flown but he'll do for Pau next yr lol,that's me 2/4 now but still not happy unless I'm in the tickets,as I've already stated bop are our worst enemy and either stand as one or divided we will fall,atb guys and thanks for the replies,well done to all winning pigeons and fanciers today,but as I've said if it's the same programme for ybs or we don't get a chance to vote on it with lrpf,then I won't be sending with them as more experienced men than me have been just about wiped out in this programme so it can't just be me..jmo.kenny

I've had a terrible race from upper heyford today,couldnt get a timer I sent 4 birds & the longer I waited the more I knew I would time my blue hen at roughly 9 hours..well she surprised me and timed at 8.50 hours,at present I've 1/4 and I'm amazed when I hear people talking about an excellent race when there's a bird In camby at 12.43 nothing near it as far as I know for about 40 mins in west sec,what a timer,I've had my ups and downs in my first ob season having won 2 races in a strong blantyre club I'm punching well above my weight,don't mind not wining races as we can't win them all but in a blow hame shouldn't be hours behind the winners but that's the case,would also like to know why LAN fed liberated at 8 when most Feds n nats went at 6(roughly)was it fear of clashing or low cloud,I'm only asking because had no information three quarters of my club either didn't send or sent with south lanarkshire because of the losses in our racing this season..anyway well done to all club and fed winners and the snfc guys..hope good returns for all,I'm disillusioned with this racing and if the programme isn't changed for the ybs then I don't think I'll be sending in lanarkshire fed,I'll be changing Feds,as a newcomer to this game I don't know how we expect to keep newcumers to stay racing in this fed when the racing is so erratic,kenny
