World Athletics Championships Moscow 2013

Would have been great if heā€™d sprinted the last 10 metres or so because he had a couple of warnings left. Thatā€™s if he can run.

Fair play to Robert Heffernan. Id be a fairly storng critic of Irish athletics in general but ill give credit where credit is due.

Good on you Burner. I think we were all a little nervous about your reaction, given your stance on Irish athletics in general.

I am lucky enough to know Robbie(this is someone i really know well lads, take note) having gone to college with him. He is a gent And has shown amazing resilience to get to this stage. Iā€™m extremely proud of him. Heā€™s as tough as there is.

you should take credit little manā€¦you probably helped him realize he had a gift for walking fast when he saw you coming into the college canteenā€¦

You are really struggling.

I must be making alot more sense on the hurling an football that you want to let on that you have up on that debate and have gone off on this ā€œlittle manā€ escapade.

Come back in a few weeks, your drinking is lowering your standards even further.

Massive homophobic rant from Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva after her gold medal presentation this eveningā€¦ And you more than likely all wouldā€¦

I most certainly would!

What did the lovely Yelena say?

Gave her support to the anti gay laws in Russia, said they had to protect their country from such things, that Russia was a ā€˜normalā€™ country where girls were with boys and so on. Condemned the Swedish and other athletes for wearing rainbow nail varnish etc. I was watching it on BBC and it was the first time the stadium was really lively and she was soooooo excited to get her medal, it was infectious- then in her interview immediately afterward she came out with this. Gabby looked like she was having a stroke digesting it allā€¦

Good stuff, about time a firm stance was taken on arsebanditry

pity Clare Balding wasnt doing the presenting
Eurosport is the only place for athletics i think, Tim Hutchings is a fantastic commentator
+1 to what Yelena said, there are fellas involuntary having their holes burst open in prisons around the world as we speak, homosexuality is wrong

Well if sheā€™s also against girls being with girls then she can GTFO, no matter how attractive she is.

We most certainly would. Iā€™ll leave it for the more tech savvie to post up a pic.

Donā€™t agree with most of the above posts. Two consenting adults can get up to whatever they want if it isnā€™t affecting anybody else. I used to be against gay marriage etc, but when I see some of the numpties or druggies stringing children around the place, I think theyā€™d be better of with two people who have put a bit of thought into spending their life together and bringing up a child.

As the only openly female poster on TFK @Midshipman Asha must have an opinion on this minority issue

Yeah but itā€™s not gay if you are the one doing the hole bursting-it is the burstee that is the gay one.

She could vault my pole any day

Is that what you tell each other in Portlaoise?

That is accepted knowledge around the world Fitzy-or at least thatā€™s what the older boys told me in school.

Normal? Iā€™d say she had a fairly ā€œnormalā€ upbringing in the well regarded greenhouse that is Russian gymnastics.

Isnā€™t Israel a hotbed of homosexuality?
