    What a scumbag. He only got that break because of the chaos behind and he celebrates and takes the piss like that.

    mother of god, the lack of ability of the Eurosport commentators to read the names of the two Irish athletes is boggling. Even on the replay stuck to Robinson being the one who fell!! And again there now!

    My first annoyance. :pac:

    Gap between O'Hare and Robinson was 0.17s!

    Such a shame. Had the makings of a really good race for the Irish. Wonder what might have been....

    I just hope Ken's injury doesn't resurface after that. Horrible looking incident. Great run by Robinson, a real championship runner, gives himself a chance. Did O Hare kick it all off with his first move?

    Robinson (IMO) ran a bad race tactically, stuck to the inside he left himself with too much to do in the last 300m and it cost him a medal. But he his very young and I see him as a European medalist at some stage. Just pure bad luck for O'Lionaird, he looked really good to me and full of running.

    I thought Robinson had a medal, so close, I was shouting at the tele, but a great run. Hope Len is OK, looked like a hamstring.
    Mekhissi-Benabbad is a twat.

    That was a great finish. What a last leg from the French.

    Ye, great run by Robinson, unfortunately presently overshadowed by the falls in the race.
    BBC tried their hardest to blame the French lad for the falls, nearly killed them to say he wasn't responsible

    I'd disagree with you PConn.The position Robinson took kept him out of trouble.
    The only move he couldn't cover was Benebahds but nobody covered that move.
    I don't think Paul could have done much more to be honest.
    O Lionard was very unlucky.

    Just watched the race again and perhaps I was a little harsh, I'm a big fan of Robinson's. Such a messy race he did well just to stay standing.

    Just looking at the relay team there. Gregan was the old man of the team at 24, the others are 21, 22 and 23. If they can all stay fit there are many years of improvement ahead surely?

    Excellent last leg by Martin Rooney too, in the shape of his life.

    Robinson always looks to me like he's not going to go...then bangs it out. Thought he had a good run...shame about all the falls.

    AI have put in an appeal according to twitter.

    Slightly off topic here but as we are talking about 4x400 presently, why do 400m races not take place in Ireland until u17 level?
