clockman Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 George, the point is getting the doos home. MESSAC WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE SUICIDE WHEN 95% OF SCOTLAND FLYING THEIR BIRDS ALL YEAR DOWN THE EAST. The fairest races would be further east, maybe Liege or even further east (Denmark ) and dont *expletive removed* kid yersel that the west has any advantage in any race unless we flew from Ireland. never said they f*** did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnQuinn Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 very well done to all birds timed in those in the third day these must be strong hearted bird,s ,as for the race point i dont think theres a fault with messac we had a good race out there the last time snfc was there,WHAT was the problem who knows ,that,s pigeon racing for you in this day and age ,even more so when you go over the chanel ,you just take it on the chin and move on to the nxt race Well explain how the snrpc had a great race from Reims while we have taken a hiding from Messac?? It was a ridiculous decision to go to Messac and makes a mockery of the council who debated every possible race point for the GOLD CUP and Messac was first out the window because of its position compared to the rest of the program.

BIGSNAW Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 You kidding me, it was a *expletive removed* disaster.I was 150th open at 6.50pm the second night.This race was dominated by the Solway, hence the bus load at AGM to go back there.no i dont think it was a disaster ,YIP, it was a hard race ,but when you race 500,600 miles its never easy ,it takes a special bird to make it ,its getin harder as the years go by ,whats the problem you tell me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IB Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Well done to everyone who got a bird, and even if it was just out of race time remember the bird didnae ken when the race closed, so no blame there, and I hope you've better luck next time. For others who didn't get a pigeon, and I'm one, feel it's time to put it behind and move on to our next race. I feel like pulling the plug, I'm deffo giving Tours a bodyswerve as I now feel I need to learn to fly 500+ miles consistently before even trying 600+. But my birds are still looking very good for Ypres, so pick meself up and stagger onwards to my next drubbin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnight_son Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 IB don't give up on Tours if you have planned for it. This race was an aberration, nobody can judge their methods or their birds in that type of event so you might well have them spot on for 600 miles.

Guest stb- Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Can you explain to me how 15 reported on the night and 13 reported on the second day constitutes a great race?i think you will find theres well over a 100 as a lot dont post on the lib line same as a lot of others so the lib line aint an accurate way of asscesing a race really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj irving jnr Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 well done to my freinds john mechan and j crombie on winning the south section out the gold cup for the 3rd time in ten years,john mcneil and also davy elliott timing 3 pigeons a brillaint preformance,and everyone else who timed in. is this 2 national wins for the west section in the snfc?,t and also on the reims subject,did the snrpc not have a hard race out of there last season?? remember the snrpc also flew messac and the winner....wilson&jack lanark!!,so i dont think theres any thing wrong with messac infact the nfc were there the last few seasons also the lancashire combine and the north west grand nat have libed there today with other feds,one last thing im not into politics thats why i dont put things on here. but you will find crombie and mechans flew with the solway down the east this year along with rob renwicks and robbie romes and also d elliott flyes with lanarkshire fed.I like alot of people get fed up of moving round the world to different race points ,we were settled for a while with alencon tours falaise ect,but as the norm we had a bad race out of one of them so we had to give the shu more money for race points.can we not keep to the same race point for a few years???

JADE Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Well done to all who have timed in what must be apart from 1997 the worst gold cup race ever. Note I did not say hardest because 1190 velocity for the winners is not a hard race. Dont think you can blame the race point. I dont like this chopping and changing every year or two and if rennes and nantes had still been available i think we would still be racing from there. I couldnt see the weather being a problem. No one criticised the liberation on Friday although one or two are now. There may have been fog on the channel but there is fog somewhere on the channel just about every day and in any case the birds would have about 100 miles behind them before they hit the channel and would either go over or around the fog. It seems to me the problem has been early in the race and could have been a hawk strike or something similar which has sent the majority of the convoy in the wrong direction or diving for cover.
