Where Will You ?

[andy Burgess]

with todays race proving tough for most of us ,where will you be pointing the finger ?? at the race controller , the weatherman , medication cabinet (or not) or maybe into the mirror ??

who do you blame ? or help find a solution ?

[geordie1234]

Like everyweek I blame myself

[calder boy]

Think clashing to blame to many feds not talking to each other

[geordie1234]

andy, i think our birds today were libbed too late from cheltenham, 10.30 when a lot of welsh feds were liberating from 7am onwards at 20 minute intervals, years ago birds at cheltenham were let go at 7 in the morning, only time holding on later if there was mist, when birds were picked up last night a member asked what time were going in morning, answer he got was, not before ten,the last few years this has happened, lib late, always end up in wales,crazy , 10/18 not happy.

That's the only way to learn Andy,if you make the same mistake again there's only one person to blame ??

As touched upon another thread Andy the big picture has to be looked at first. Best to try and draw conclusions 24 hrs after the race.

Clashing :emoticon-0138-thinking:

We libbed at wakefield 174 miles to me at 6.30 then up road,at ripon feds,lib at 7.15 so clashing May have happened

[eastcoaster]

Never blame my birds before myself , but they can't always be as good as they look/handle.

As my brother says if one can make it then why make exceptions! .

[ALF]

I had 50% of my team missing tonight when i left the loft just before 7

 

Do i blame the race controller? No I would have libbed the doos this morning myself if i was in his shoes

 

Are my doos not good enough?? Maybe

 

this is the 1st hard/dodgy race my doos have had since the fire so did that affect them?? No i dont think so as they were all in the same loft at the time of the fire so i half made it i cannae excuse the other half

 

Last but not least Maybe it was ME

[frankdooman]

This is the week I hate most wee have all crossed over one another makes it very hard for controllers wee were at Rippon with prob at least 5/6 south roaders at Catterick/ scotch corner the same for the boys south of Birmingham and the welsh boys and with side winds it's even harder if it was dead north/ south the birds are at different heights if they get a chance

[blaz]

our fed raced from leyland west side racing east.a good fast race with good returns.food for thought for maybe some other feds.been told from some older fanciers that i was good racing from west to east years back.

[Guest big slim]

Our birds were a bit gappy today. Dont know why on a perfect day. May have clashed but ours are all home. Thats 4 races, no losses flying east route. Im not for changing.

Hull north road liberated from Alnwick at 7am you might have clashed with them.

[billt]

If more or less everyone has had a bad day at the races it's not a case of looking in the mirror it's down to other factors, You'll always get birds that come through in good time, good pigeon, good luck, could be either, probably lose it next week, but hey, that's racing for you

[blue pied]

not pointing the finger at anyone! I think a few got shut out but it cleared up about 4 so if they were close they would have came through. missing 4 from 17.

[VMS]

When we get to 500 miles we might need full hand pointing :lol:

[walterboswell59]

dont think we can blame anyone for this one imo the rain was forcast but dont think anyone thought it was going to be as bad as it was some places were shut out and the birds looking for away round it were clashing is what i think happened
