Golf in Ireland is organised on an all island basis, so they should all be declaring for us, but whether or not they do we'll have to wait and see. Hope whatever he/they decides he/they don't get grief over it.

Emeli Sandé was all up in that closing ceremony. Loved it.

The Irish media isn't always the best when keeping abreast of how the Irish competitors are doing leading up to an Olympics. I think the threads we have on this forum always give a more realistic perspective of our prospects. Cannot wait until Rio 2016....trust me, we'll do alright again in 4 years time.

Dan you are the man that kept us all up to date! Thanks a mI'll!


Bring on Rio!!!

WP all.

Hear, hear.

I hereby declare this thread of the Games of the XXXth Olympiad Closed and invite the good, the bad and the ugly in accordance with the charter of this forum to gather in a few minutes time from now to discuss Irish prospects for the Games of the XXXIst Olympiad in the host city of Rio de Janeiro!

Actually, I'll open a thread entitled "Olympic hangover thread " first so we can get London 2012 out of our systems first!!!
