2012 Olympics

Hannah Craig has made it through to the final, splendid stuff!

Great news for Ballymoney, great news for Ireland.

I certainly would.

Well done runt, you’ll get the hand of this internet craic in no time pal :clap:

Epic finish to the women’s individual all-round gymnastics final in store here with Gabrielle Douglas of the USA and Viktoria Komova of the USSR battling it out for gold.

Dont miss out on Team GB in the Velodrome Sid.

:lol:

Komova breaks down in tears after her flawless floor routine falls agonisingly short of overhauling Douglas’s lead. What a competition as always.

Farcical stuff in the boxing at the moment. A Team GB boxer apparently got a disgraceful decision against a Ukranian, who appealed. This was rejected but now there are rumours that the judges scores were added up wrong and the Ukranian has won.

Idiots.

Lochte v Phelps II coming up in the 200 IM. Come on Phelps.

Magnificent from the legend :clap:

Wonderfull.

:clap:

Ranomi looking damn cute.

Good call.

Bill has been unbelievably argumentative tonight

It’s on RTE now. Ogogo (GBR) took 2 standing counts in round 2 and only lost that round 7-6.

Last round is clearly the Ukranians.

Sham

Watching this also, the Ukrainian practically beat him out of the stadium

An utter disgrace. The Ukranian won the last round by at least six or seven points and that’s being conservative. Credit to him also for the dignified way he took the verdict, considering he’d just been cheated out of the Olympics. Seems the verdict is now set in stone from the way the panel were talking.

I watched some of last night’s boxing action back earlier.

Apart from the farcical verdict against the Japanese fighter (thankfully overturned), an Australian was also very, very hard done by to lose to an another Azeri, another GB fighter got a very dodgy decision against a Cuban and an Iranian fighter was unfairly disqualified for holding.

That’s five wrong decisions. And there’s no way Adam Nolan won the third round of his ffirst round fight as he was judged to have done.

Now, granted I didn’t see the fight, but having heard what was said by the Irish camp and having seen how the officiating works I have no doubt that Joe Ward was cheated in that qualifer.

I also maintain that Kenneth Egan won his final in Beijing having watched the fight back in forensic detail afterwards. The Chinese boxer was scoring for landing punches on gloves FFS.

Where did they get the ping pong commentator…
