Re: Olympics 2016

Scotland 18 medals - 4 gold, 8 silver and 6 bronze; on the basis of share of GB population the rest of the union didn't perform as well so wishing to disassociate with the rest of the Union perhaps? ...

Re: Olympics 2016

Yes, probably the best all round performance of the Games - swimming, cycling and running and they do exceptionally well at all three. Hats off to them. Such nice unspoiled guys afterwards in their...

Re: Olympics 2016

I wonder if the pound has gained 5 cents in a few days ($1.67 to $1.72) because of events in Rio? :lol:

Re: Olympics 2016

If you happened to see Greg Rutherford's interviews with the BBC before and after the long jump final you'd probably vote for him in the sour grapes stakes if not the most arrogant competitor or the...

Re: Olympics 2016

National Lottery is a unique case - the government gave a private company the franchise in 1994 and has renewed it a number of times. It is a licence to print money and raise some revenue from the...

Re: Olympics 2016

Except that the Lottery funding for Rio is up about £40 mill on the funding for London - it was announced yesterday that £347 mill of lottery money has been given for Rio. This was on BBC and Sky...

Cavendish says it was my fault, Viviani says it wasn't Cavendish's fault ... Viviani got up and won, only thing which matters really. Ironic though that Viviani rides for Sky which Cav used to (and...

Re: Olympics 2016

Brilliant night for Team GB; sat up into the wee hours to watch Murray win an enthralling final against DelPo. I couldn't help reflect on the effort required to beat 63 of the world's top tennis...

Re: Olympics 2016

Re: Olympics 2016

That's just like saying if someone isn't robbing a bank at the time then that's fine; they're not a bank robber when they've done it twice in the past. We probably have a different view of sport;...

Re: Olympics 2016

Re: Olympics 2016

But of course all British and Aussie competitors are drug free and not competing on a level playing field. ;) As a sage said to me down the street - the Olympics and Tour de France are ****ed forever.
