Olympics 2016

Just saw the women’s double scull qualified for the semis with ease.
The O Donovans of Skibbereen have won their heat. Good start for our rowers.

The nation needs to row in behind them now

Maybe it’s time now for Paddy Barnes to go back to school and get an education. It’s not too late.
More likely though he will turn pro for 12 months lured into fighting 2 or 3 bums for 2k a pop. And then finish life as a benefit hog.

Same as the pros now

is it even possible for it to be a draw with the scoring system? 3 judges must be decisive winner of each round, suppose one judge might score one round 10-8?

A lot of these athletes are complete weirdos.

who gives a fuck

Antia OUT.

Is Paddy not a postman? State job, finished well before lunchtime every day. Lot to recommend it.

The majority are. In fairness the dedication required in the individual sports means you’d want to be wired a bit different

What’s the story with this chubby little Brit breaking world records and winning golds in the swimming? Seems dodgy to me.

The Brits are more corrupt than the Russians

I believe she is forum member @GeoffreyBoycott’s niece.

She did shit her togs in London but hopefully she’ll keep it together this time.

I’ve never seen a sailing race before. It’s an interesting spectacle.

Michael Conlan is seething on Twitter at the schadenfreude in some quarters surrounding Paddy Barnes’ defeat.

Team GB shamed the ‘nation’ in the ‘womens’ rugby, two sin bins, despicable. They’re also somehow getting away with a bald man on their team.

That McCarthy lad was on RTE last night explaining that it’s because of the adjustments made to yer mans technique and that everyone else is playing catchup now to do the same thing.

He’s got a some woman coaching him. In my experience of swimming you can trust female swimmers to be completely clean. Even more so if there’s some doubt over the improvement.
