    I hope one of the boxers gives Des Cahill a right hook and writes him off. What a clown!

    When are they breaking out the Sandwiches? You'd probably have a good chance of winning the raffle in that crowd.

    What clever gobshíte decided it would be a good idea stage an event like this half way up a side street ?

    Could they not hire somewhere like the Point for a few hours where the crowds wouldn't get wet and thus attract more people ?

    There has never been a time in my life when I have more wanted to fúck something at the television in despair. In the brief 30 seconds I glanced upon this I almost cringed myself into the chair. The poor, poor athletes.

    'Go on, show the medal down the street one more time, this is your bronze medal people, this is what you all came here to see.'

    My TV licence fee contributes to this man's salary. Fúck my life.

    That introduction of Darren Sutherland's father was just awful........

    I am hiding behind the chair here listening to this......:(


    and Skid, stop bragging about your Rio Carnival!.......:)

    Yeah, but I still have the sunburn to prove it :(:D

    You are right, Des Cahill couldn't remember Tony Sutherland's name, it was cringeworthy.

    I had to laugh at RTE's website. First thing this morning it started with "20,000 people expected.....". By about 11:30 it had changed to "hundreds are expected...."

    Awful luck with weather though

    I think Charlie is competing in the Tour of Spain at the moment. He's always wanted to add that title to his Tour de France win in 1987.

    Have no sound on my computer here.

    Des must have an awful thirst on him. He seems more interested in asking the athletes where is the action happening tonight rather than anything Olympic related! Mind you watching this is driving me to drink too.

    It will, and just before it does the music will go quiet and you know something really sad is coming up.

    Still, these athletes are probably all still nursing hangovers, at least the crowd noise is less than expected.

    He's in traing for the upcoming Dublin v Mayo semi final.

    He can't decide whether to play the first half for Dublin and the second half for Mayo, or vice versa !
