Olympic Thread Damn it

shuttlecock!!

I feel sorry for Ennis - whilst team GB has been pretty succesful so far, when people think Olympics they think track and field and she is our shining light there. I don't know how she handles the pressure.

Well she handled the hurdles pretty damn well!

Woohoo another Scottish gold! Womens rowing.

No it's team GB when they win and Scottish when they lose ... It's the Andy Murray daily mail principle

[binnie]

Seems that team GB have had another good day rowing. One gold and a couple of bronzes so far.....

I checked it when he was winning in the final at Wimbledon and he was up to 97%!

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...?

That's funny ... Still can't stand the miserable twat

[Seshmeister]

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

[vandeleur]

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.

[vandeleur]

Yeah he has been unlucky with his timing playing in an era of nadal and federer ...
