blackdog Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 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.

Best to try and draw conclusions 24 hrs after the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastcoaster Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 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! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdooman Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billt Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue pied Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
