Germany draw level 1-1 v India in the hockey :popcorn:
You gotta love a bit of Bully :sulk:
It was actually 'you can't beat a bit of Bully' - I'll leave you to get your coat... ;)Quote:

What a race! Still not sure if Kerr got Bronze or Silver
Silver it is.
Photo finish for bronze and silver! Crazy.
4th and 5th in the 200m. Bother.
I don’t think we were expecting to medal though
Climbing is an “interesting” Olympic event
All you need is a steroid abuser chasing after them and it’d be the Wall from Gladiators
:lol:
I see one of our skateboarders is 51. There's hope for me yet.

Really enjoyed watching the speed wall climbing thing yesterday. 5 seconds per.... Race? Mental.
Found myself even enjoying watching showjumping! Fucking horses jumping over fences. And it was tense af.
I also watched the surfing in the morning. Realised I'd been sitting there watching 2 people paddle in the water for 20 minutes because there were no waves. Literally 20 minutes.
Watched the kayak cross I think it is on Monday. Entertaining for the first race or two, they even do a rotation and go underwater. Then realised it was basically pot luck if you get stuck behind someone else. And if you do, you're basically fucked.
Seems to be quite a few events where GB are "close to" gold or silver, and getting silver or bronze, or missing out completely. Though frankly I've no idea if they're events we should be getting medals in, or whether we're just getting greedy now we're actually half decent.

One of the things I love about the Olympics is all the random sports I end up watching that I’d never pay any attention to at any other time.
Silver for the men’s team in the cycling pursuit, bronze for the ladies
400m final :popcorn:
Silver.
Knickers
Ooft. That was quite a tumble in the steeplechase.
oh well, at least her silver knickers will look good in the discoQuote:

Okay, so you need to make my argument for me. Okay, we'll accept YOUR version of MY argument and ignore the fact I never made such an argument. It's so fucking childish. But anyway. Given that "coming on here gives you enjoyment", what makes the Arsenal football team in any way equivalent to what we've seen in the past?Quote:

Well I don’t think Odegaard, Saka are far off that standard at all but please thrill me with your acumen as to how wrong you KNOW I am.Quote:

I do think that too many teams play the low block, but it’s nothing new. A year after we won the double in 2002…we had teams sticking 11 men behind the ball both in the champions league and the premier league. The fact is the brilliant, one touch pass and move football that you’re eulogising even back then became pretty turgid when it was denied space to operate in, in the final third.
Well thanks for proving an actual answer. It really does move things along so much better.Quote:

Saka vs Pires? Seriously?
No it’s always been about money in modern times, certainly since the advent of the premier league….the human rights abusing owners of clubs has just codified it even more so. To be honest if you’re talking about football at a time where it was just about sport, I’m only 40….so you’d be going back before my timeQuote:

Rubbish. The kid who grew up in a town and worked his way uo to play for that town in the football league, that wasn't fake and that wasn't about the money - seeing as they got paid enough to afford chips down the pub we all used to drink in. You are assuring me my own experiences aren't real. Thanks, my mistake.Quote:

If you don’t think at the very least top flight football has been money centric since the premier league began I don’t know what to tell you.Quote:

As for the strength of your memories, well as I’m trying to debate sensibly I’ll put aside any comment about alcohol killing the brain cells
But as I say I’m only 40, so when it did happen well before my time
As for the stuff about corporations. Not really sure who you’d be expecting to disagree with you on that point
Since when the Premier League began? That's WHY the poxy league began. You take proof of my point and then convert it into a "Roy of the Rovers" parody. Are you SURE you aren't a corporate shill?Quote:

50 medals now. Up against the chink and yank druggies. Not bad at all. These kids are fucking great.
Stop now. It's boring. Read back through the thread. You are now arguing what I originally said and trying to make it sound like you proposed it and I'm the opposition. Why bother? What's the prize?Quote:

Okay, so you are ignorant and dishonest. Why didn't you just say that ad save the time?Quote:

I haven't had any experience with what it takes to perform at this level, but I have had some experience at what it takes to get to a professional level. Not me, of course, I like me chips too much. But the people I have experienced that push themselves to win at the top level. What I find with these people is they not only excel at sport but they also excel in other areas. They work from 5am to late and every minute of their life is on schedule. Is it a good way to live? I'm not sure and I wouldn't be capable. But it works for them. So when you seen an Olympian coming in 8th, just remember, that's a fucking remarkable human being right there. Driven. And when they step up for the gold - well, we just don't understand that level of commitment. e're all capable of it, but only a few have the discipline and the drive. Makes you wonder what the world would be like of we were all Olympic standard instead of socialist fags.
I'm not a fucking idiot. I can pick up on your signals. But the answer remains NO. And stop sending me private messages.Quote:
