2012 Olympics

Who are the RTE pundits with Jerry?

Not necessarily. He’s been caught twice hasn’t he?

Don’t think he was holding back all year. He just wasn’t right yet. He’s peaked at the right time in for the last four major championships now. One month back in Jamaica with his coach would have been invaluable.

David Gillick - 400m runner, came 5th or 6th in world championships in 2007 and won European Indoors twices
David Matthews - former 800m runner, national record holder and was in 96 Olympics

Wasnt watching, but I know Gillick is one.

EDIT , what Giusspe said.

I do like Barry Davies commentary. How come the BBC don’t use him for the football anymore? He has been very informative in the hockey

BBC commenators seemingly a bit dubious about that Algerian there in the Heats, think it might be Cram? Making some very questioning statements about his supposed improvement.

Watching on RTE but thought he was very dirty in the race. Was shoving lads all over the place.

Thanks. Is Matthews involved with Cork hurlers or do I have that mixed up?

John Joe Nevin fight coming up shortly.

Jerry’s just compared him to Ramzi and mentioned his improvement.

I don’t get the improvement thing about him though. He ran 3:34 in 09, 3:32 in 10 and 3:30 this year. It’s a good but not ridiculous progression.

Also, I don’t remember them talking about Ó Lionáird like that last year after his 14 second drop. They should at least be consistent.

Chepseba is in his hole only 20 years of age.

He was anyway. He was on italksport a couple of times with that “dual mandate” of athletics and hurling.

Yeah, I wasn’t aware of that but just checked and he is! He seemed to start marketing himself in the last year or so. Don’t know what he was doing up to then.

I fully expect Nevin to win this fight. RTE boxing panel talking rubbish.

bernard dunne said john joe needs to let the mexican know ‘everytimne you come forward son, you’re gonna get bang of that’…i’d say thats been said a few times in the carpark of the Red Cow after club diva… :lol:
that Mexican has a face made to take punches in fairness…just a rock of a head…

Egans jacket :lol:

Bull shit that was no where near 5-5. Nevin won that by at least 2 points

5-5. Tense moments.

Pistorious finishes last in his 400 semi final.

Matthews has indeed been training the Cork Hurlers this year, doing a fine job as well despite Kev’s unwarranted criticisms at the start of the year.

John Joe really travelling now, 3 up
