I'm gutted mate!! It might be a glitch but I was getting proper excited about going, hopefully they'll release some more.

Just keep checking back - I got all my tickets from the official site and it is just a question of persistence

Will do! Do they release them in blocks or something?

Absolutely made up for Katie there , it was a close scrap , have to say I thought 4 1 in the 3rd might have been small bit generous , either way not all that bothered , just one of the great Irish sporting moments seeing her win the gold .

Hopefully the 3 lads can have similar joy tomorrow and make it another great day for us .

Pleased for Nicola Adams too , the womens boxing has without doubt been a huge success .

chick in USA volleyball team called destinee hooker, you just can't write this stuff. your surname is hooker, the last word you should think of when naming your daughter is destinee

Haha.

Got to say the Irish support in that boxing arena was ridiculous. They measured the decibel count in one of Katie Taylor's game and it was louder than a jumbo jet. You'd think it was in Dublin, not London!

So happy though. She really is a class act and it certainly makes Natasha Jonas' defeat a lot more respectable.

So is this jingoism too, Morrisey?

You'd be surprised mate, some of the most thrilling, aggressive, and skillful moments will happen in the Paralympics, but I know what you mean, you wouldn't think it would have as much interest, but I think everyone has just loved the Olympics so much they want it to carry on.

Am I the only one who wants Blake to win the 200m?

He looks friendly and I'd like to be his friend.
