    One of the bronzes was a Northern Irish guy - I don't understand why it isn't called Team UK.

    In fact I don't understand why it isn't called the UK Team, what is all this branding shit anyhoo...?

    He's not miserable he's just normal.

    As a northerner you should like that he isn't the usual Hooray Henry poof we usually have as tennis players.

    I enjoyed ogogo in the boxing ... Tho that was an unbelievably close fight ... And if he does go on to do big things am sure the head line writers will have a field day with his name

    There is something unusual about him , he doesn't appear to enjoy what he does ... He needs to go out and and get laid .... Tho I did laugh when Lendl became his coach ... He ain't a barrel of laughs either ..... Wouldn't wanna go to their Xmas party

    As a northerner I appreciate the finer things ... I like the totty during the tennis

    Scottish guy Josh whatsaname was shit.

    Who ever heard of a boxer called Josh?

    I just wish the rest of the UK could pick up their act and we would be top of the medal board at this point.

    Scotland with less than 10% of the population has won 30% of the UK medals and we don't even have home advantage...

    People that have met him off camera say he is cool and quite funny. His humor is bone dry though and often that comes across wrongly to a lot of people on TV.

    I admit when he is in one of his whining moods on court he can be a bit frustrating but look at how much everyone likes McEnroe now, he was detested in Britain when he was playing.

    You say something unusual - yeah he's the 4th best fucking tennis player on the planet at a time when there are 3 other incredible players.

    Josh did OK with the boxing. When you up against a guy who used to the be former World Amateur champ in the second contest, it's going to take a heroic effort to get by. The Italian guy threw his shots from very unusual angles, which means it's hard to see 'em coming.

    I don't really buy into that.

    If he'd born earlier he'd have been in the era of Sampras. If he'd been a couple of years younger he'd have been in the era of Jokovitch. Fact is, he's very, very good, but note quite good enough to beat those guys when it counts.

    No shame in that.

    Italians are weird when it comes to boxing. Very accomplished at amateur, but few of 'em do much in te pros.

    Who seem to be good on every fucking surface.

    If he had been around at the Sampras time he would have won a few grand slams by now at the French and Australian.

    One anouncer said yesterday that a boxer threw 80 punches in a match and was awarded (6) SIX!!!! that landed.. total bullshit.

    And the winner of the fight who was knocked down over six times and threw 45 punches durring the match was awarded 10 connected hits ad won by decision..

    .FIXED!!!

    So perhaps not only boxing in WBO is all bullshit ,evidently the olympics judges are paid off probably by promoters who want (X) boxer to turn pro undefeated as a amature...?

    Yeah, he finally got back in his Beijing form (or close to it) these last few races. I don't know what the deal was, but he looked absolutely terrible in that first race. He could have and should have won at least one more gold in the 200 butterfly the other night, but he got a case of the lazies at the last second and got out touched at the wall.

    My theory is that he didn't start training long enough before the games, tried to cram it all in and was overtrained at the start of the Olympics. Now he is starting to hit his stride and I guess when that happens no human can swim with him. That gold he won today was a good example. Last off the platform, seventh at the turn, made a bad turn and then proceeded to blow everybody out of the fucking water in the last fifty meters.

    With all due respect you are completely wrong and I am totally correct.

    Sampras never got beyond the semi final of the French in his whole career. He only ever won 2 Australian titles.

    So in the Sampras 10 years at the top that's 18 Grand Slam titles that Murray could have won if he had been his contemporary.
