What’s Tom Humphries doing with himself these days?

Last time I saw him he was having lunch with David Walsh in Howth.

[Horsebox]

Zero chance he is juicing imo.

[flattythehurdler]

Of course there’s not zero chance. He might be, he might not be. His improvement is absolutely huge though, and there’s a bang if marginal gains off it.

Who is the female swimming pundit on RTE?

[backinatracksuit]

Grainne Murphy, from Wexford, former international swimmer, very successful as a junior but never kicked on

He’s not very Irish in that he seems to have an unshakable belief in himself and isn’t afraid to show it.

Exactly. Unreal talented sportsmen should be confident and show off. They should even get angry when their greatness isn’t recognised. Say in pubs. Might even merit them asking if other patrons “know who the fuck they are”

The minute Irish rugby team are confident they are invariably absolutely slated and that’s used as the single reason for them losing.

Irish rubby players are not unreal talented sportsmen though.

Gráinne Murphy. She had to retire from swimming around the age of 22. From Ballinaboola in Wexford.

I’m not so sure on that.

Looks another classic case of one rule for one person and one rule for another on tfk.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Swimmers and rowers don’t give it all that when they qualify for a quarter final.

Wiffen has already won a world championship.
Thats the main reason for his confidence.
The rugby players arent eithin an asses roar of being World Champs

[ChairmanDan]

Doesn’t her old man own the Horse and Hound in Ballinaboola?

[Kyle]

I think she ate both horse and hound

[flattythehurdler]

She seems really lovely

They were very close I think

Being confident and losing in a QF is slightly different don’t you think?

They beat the eventual champions and lost narrowly to the beaten finalists. Regardless of your dislike for rugby I think you’d have acknowledge that they were at the level. Presume that we’re talking about 15 a-side rugby here.

[flattythehurdler]

The sevens were very close as well. No luck. They are both admirable.

Earl was missed tonight for his analysis. Grainne is too safe. Andrew is a vibes man, which is grand for a bit of colour.
But the likes of my parents need to be told he is the 1500m world champion and has every chance of another gold, not that he has to make it out of the heat first.
I’d like to know has Mona a realistic chance in her next event or is she better at 100m.

[Horsebox]

Ok zero chance is too strong but there doesn’t seem to be any red flags in his case.
