He's supposed not to cry.

On a proper wind up now.

Just in case you are not then I have to bow down to your manliness.

Those were some great days going into the fells up in Cumberland. My Grandad bred hounds so we used to go to all the events with him for the hound trailing but obviously went and watched the fell running (now that takes some fitness, my dad did a couple of those but was more a road runner) and the wrestling, etc.

Proper Sports. Not like these days.
If a participant cried at one of those you knew his injuries were bad.

Have you never shed a tear Dave?
Have you never experienced that bitter lemon juice rolling down your cheek?

Cried at sporting loss? Yes. When I was 12 years old.

 

[davek]

You try not crying after tearing a muscle, it’s nigh on impossible

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

I have, and you dont cry, you scream in pain and then start effing and blinding. No tears.

The long jumpers remind me of Mo Salah - flying through the air, arms flailing, crashing to earth.

Yafai wins means he’s got a medal , great result and a good fight . It’s now the best team GB boxing performance at an Olympics in the modern era

Literally just watching the third round on BBC now. Didn't know the result.

Cheers Harry lol

It's not manly not to cry at sporting reversals. It's appropriate behaviour.

FFS, I'm amazed there's so many people sticking up for these utter wallopers.

You'd never see sporting greats like Maradona cry after a loss.

He was the greatest, but he shouldn't have cried.

There's plenty of things in this world to cry about. It's not about men crying per se. It's about men crying about inconsequential stuff like sporting defeat.

Maybe they're crying about realisation that something that's a culmination of years, decades worth of sacrifice has come to an end.

I am confused by the double negative but I think you mean that you are a woman if you cry, correct.

It is human to show emotion when either on a high or low, man or woman. No shame in either.
