I'm looking forward more to the 4x100 relay

 

[Bigmaclad]

lads this is stupid, kazhakstan are 7th overall with just 6 medals, ahead of germany and france with 22 and 35 medals respectively, as well as japan who are even lower down with 26 medals

I know it's nuts, pretty much all of the other medals are worthless bar gold when it comes to the medal table.

Liverpool to down here is dead easy. All straight. Plus traffic was a bit nuts with the crazy weather in parts.



Look I've only been driving a year people leave me alone!! Plus it was in the mrs' Nissan Micra! FFS!!

At least you got to blow dry your hair then mate.

 

[Bigmaclad]

Smithy you're just a crap driver like lad

Inverdale is despicable.

Cannot stand him presenting.

Not defending her but the the system of having to declare your location every day had only just been introduced which is why I think she gets a bit of leeway on it. Having said that she peaks at major tournaments but is that because like the cyclists she builds up to it or something more sinister

I'd put big money on her being doped. She is defo a hooky athlete. Stinks in all races barring championships and missed on purpose doping tests.

Not even close to being clean.

It's Shimizu! The ace lid who got through via appeal after the dodgy ref from the previous round.

Well hes not going to win this, unless they start awarding points for being game.

 

[sheeds]

cant believe they scored that round level

Aye some odd scoring, but the right result in the end.

I didn't see that yank fight the other night that was reversed but I can't believe it was much worse than that , the lad won the first by about 4 or 5 for me and they only round they had him winning was probably his weakest. A fighter like Campbell being penalised for his hand speed effectively . All that said he's through and seen nothing in this fight to worry him too much , if he can make the final he'll test the Cuban but that lad has the tricks like a pro holding on the blindside etc.. . Great to get our first boxing medal though and he can better it I think

Brendan Foster - an absolute mine of useless information.

Brendan Foster - an absolute mine of useless information.

And possibly the worst voice on TV.


EDIT: Actually no, that's definitely Carragher.

Eastern Europeans - strong tvvats. Always win the throwing events.

 

[tsubaki]

I honestly cannot believe Shimizu is going to win this.

Sounds like a very slow-witted Geordie....hold on....
