2012 Olympics

[quote=“Watch The Break, post: 224426”]

This sort of stuff goes on in every country though. I was reading about the GB taekwondo team where a guy who is the world no.1 wasn’t selected and a guy who was ranked 59th was sent instead. As ridiculous as it sounds, it actually made a bit of sense when you read up on it. There tends to be more to these selections than the average joe soap in the public thinks.[/quote]

He was blackguarded because he had his own training set up outside of the Team GB set up.

Great one Jimmy. I should have looked north before posting this pun to see it was already taken. Apologies.

The all white clothing rule for Wimbledon has been relaxed for the Olympic Tennis event being held there.

Would you ever fuck off taz

:lol: this is very important news.

Any ideas about who’ll be lighting the flame?

Personally I think Martin Adams would be perfect. Wolfie represents the very best of Englishness, and he also has five rings on his fingers, which is appropriate seeing as it’s the Olympics.

It’ll be Redgrave.

The Queen will light it. :slight_smile:

Vanessa or Steve

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :shakefist: :shakefist: :shakefist: :shakefist:

The draw for the Tennis has been made. Moany Murray was drawn again Wawrinka in the first round and he is on the same side of the draw as Djokovic[font=“Arial”][size=“2”][color="#242424"].[/size][/font]

Yes.

I hope there won’t be any trouble as the last time somebody ran through the streets of the East End with a flaming torch a whole load of Carpet Right shops got burnt down.

Speculation now that David Beckham will be kicking a flaming ball into the cauldron to light the flame. Personally I think Wolfie should throw a flaming dart, it would be reminiscent of how that bow and arrow chap did it in Barcelona.

Becks would be a splendid choice :clap:

They could do it like Sean Og did the that culture yoke in Cork a few years back, ah this could be epic.

You can just imagine it. Becks is milking the moment, smiling around at the cameras as he prepares to kick the ball into the cauldron to light his Olympics, then suddenly John Terry rushes in from behind in an attempt to steal the glory, but slips and himself skids into the cauldron.

Ward appeal to CAS unsuccessful, joke shop!

Japan beat Spain 1-0 in the soccer

Ward had two chances to qualify. I reckon he took his eye off the ball
