I think it involves your head and possibly throwing. I remember seeing it 4 or 8 years ago. I’ll head off and google it now.
Yeah seems to be bowls but with different skill levels. Some throw with the hand, some with the foot. I’m pretty sure I saw a guy throw his ball with his head before.
Some Irish dude wins gold in 100m and 200m and it doesn’t warrant a mention from our correspondent in Beijing. Sort yourself out please Juhniallio.
Bandage, you may have to review his position as the official China corespondant, because he has been piss poor since the Paralympics got going. Unlike the indomnitable Colm Murray who is still flat out in china!
Is Colm still out there? Are RTE trying to tell him something?! I wonder.
Maybe he’s looking for a bride. He’d be seen as quite a tall man out there.
He sure is, saw him giving a report the night before last.
id say colm is missing the horse racing like mad…
This is starting next week. Looking to do a few bets - anyone know if the London track favours Goodyear or Bridgestone? The individual competitions in the paralympics are great but I much prefer the manufacturers’ contest.
Jason Smyth has won his second gold medal in the 200 metres with a new world record.
New Ross’s Catherine O’Neill got a silver in the women’s discus.
I’d say you’re a cunt

Necrosis of of the postingz
I can exclusively reveal that Channel 4’s Paralympics closing ceremony coverage was two minutes behind what was actually happening. Dreadful stuff and their coverage has only been saved by the fact that the wonderful Claire Balding is on presenting duty.
This time delay could come in handy with some of the shorter flat horse races they cover.
Great to see Lord Coe back on Channel 4. I never miss an oppurtunity to hear him speak. This is nearly as good as his appearance on Brass Eye.

Better go back and check all my four year old posts to make sure Mac doesn’t take offence to them now

In my defence I’ve no recollection of that post. That doesn’t not mean that Puke is a cunt though
Guilty as charges.
Watching this behind time. Very entertaining mixed swimming relay with swimmers of mixed disabilities. China won it with a man with no arms kicking like I’ve never seen, not breathing once before finishing by crashing into the wall at speed with his head.
