Just on the gymnast…was it me, or was his actual routine very boring/basic in comparison to some the others?
Aidan Walsh was downright silly to do what he did, and I think Kenneth Egan was spot on as regards his take on it.
Shambles in Rio? Of the 240 or so bouts, maybe 2-3 were dubious…hyped up by ranting and raving from some..
5 years on and still no actual evidence of cheating/corrruption in any specific Rio bouts..
I mean they entirely redid the judging and there was more than 2-3 dodgy fights. We focused on the Irish who lost out but there were more ridiculous ones.
Didn't they suspend the entire judging panel and also did the IOC not replace the boxing association as judges for this Olympics.
Sounds like guilt to me
It's a pity he didn't seem to know he had won before the announcer revealed it. It was obvious on TV he had won in a canter but he seemed shocked and did that crazy OTT celebration. It's most unfortunate - I'm not sure I've ever heard of a boxer getting injured celebrating.
Same! Thanks for the light relief @Furze99 ❤️
Just watching the canoe sprints this morning. A fantastic sport. Can't help wondering if Ireland could develop a few contenders for the sport. Gotta be an enormous crossover with rowing in terms of facilities.
Watching the men's diving now, Oliver Dingley going for us.
Jesus, but the commentary is appalling - I'd nearly do better myself just bluffing it. Why do they not use the feed if we don't have an expert available?? 🙄
Well done Austin O’Connor on qualifying for the eventing individual jumping final.
I think you'r going to be knocked out soon enough yourself. Ya can talk to a corner of bedroom and listen back to your echos of Loser
Do the qualifying scores carry over into showjumping final or is it start over?
He was only out there as a reserve as well, just the 4 faults between the cross country and the show jumping.
What's the story with the dressage, we always seem to struggle with it.
Hopeless Engerland go a goal up after 2 min in a European final. Then try and defend. Bottlers. With some of the best talent in the world.
Most of the 'Eire' athletes are at least around PBs. When you reach Olympic qualification standard you can compete at the Olympics. It's not a question of sending. You don't seem to know anything about sport.
History and politics either. The USSR, East Germany, Czechoslovakia are going well piebrain😂 Not happy with the performance of Wessex and East Anglia.
Ireland population rank 124 in the world.
Ireland position on medal table, 40th.
Plucky little 'Eire' performing well above its population size.
Pie head=totally ignorant, trolling gobshite.
Ah lads, don't feed it!
Report and flag....
Thank God we are crap at the horse dancing. I wouldn't be able to take the fawning over them g0w1s if they won a medal for the joke of an event
All trolls like to drop the comment, not respond. Secretly they read every reply. There was an excellent documentary on BBC about online behaviour and trolling. They lack self esteem and crave attention, while trying to maintain a facade of being in control.
Really this individual is more to be pitied Heidi, the individual has no confidence and is lacking in general, seeking some sort of validation with childish attention seeking.
I know I shouldn't respond but I'm hoping the individual might have an epiphany and seek the help he so badly needs.
"Horse dancing" up there with "it's only the flu" for ridiculous, trolly, risible rubbish.
If you've a point to make, can you not make it properly?
I'm kinda hoping he gets thread-banned like he did from AH, and we all get a bit of peace for a while 🙄
Jerry Kiernan's passing has effected Ciara Mageann quite a lot I feel.
I was in hospital with pneumonia in 2016. This hospital worker who served our meals insisted we watch every minute of it!
Versus the amount of funding and number of participants sent its been a shambles. If you want to enable the loser then so ahead and Eire will continue to be an embarrassment
That's an interesting point and could have some validity.
Ireland far behind most European and worldwide countries. We really overcome the odds. Wrong again 😂

I've enabled the loser long enough, i.e. You.
The troll is would up! You obviously didn't read the full report. Funny how you came out of your box. I said a few things about the troll that were a bit too close to home.
Now now you’ve been a silly billy it’s there for all to see !
You said 'we' and then mention Eire. Are you suffering from an identity crisis? Why so concerned with Ireland if you're a Brit?
The report is very simple and clear on lower Irish funding. Everyone can read it. You're just wiggling like the pathetic worm you are.
Sort out your issues.
Regardless of troll comments, that is an interesting link. Interesting that UK is so low, I would like to see funding for non European countries too e.g. US, Australia, NZ etc. Australia and NZ punch well above their weight so interesting to see if that is reflected in funding.
