Paris Olympics

Anyway .. sorry to pull the thread down a dark path.

I thought of that myself, but the mere fact that this is out in the open, he served his time and has moved on should be some form of testament that the 'system' works.
I get it, it's scary , no one wants to live next to a sex offender - me neither for that matter, and I don't even have children - buit the ones we know of are the tip of the iceberg. And I'd rather know that don't know.

On topic: It has not made him a better or worse player I suppose, whereas the Chinese swimmers...

Silver for Daley/Williams. I understand the Chinese are actually one person who has been cloned to be exactly the same build/thought processes - cheats.

Finally we've struck gold (in the showjumping).

Minimally I'd like us to be the highest-scoring European country at these Olympics (as we were in the last four). But I wonder if the French have rigged this year's Games in their favour.

Generally the host nation peforms better at their own Olympics. I'd be surprised if there was anything more than that going on

WAY TO GO TOM PIDCOCK!!!!!!!

A man of Honour*, not like the despicable French crowd who booed his magnificent victory. A victory achieved after puncturing.

Not normally a Mountain Biking fan, but that was a good race.

* Can't be too sure about that, he's a Yorkshireman.

^ Just watched it too. Tom Pidcock was brilliant when he passed the Frenchie on the fork. Booing was well out of order, that just wouldn't have happened in 2012.

Another Gold too in the Eventing.

Booing at the medal ceremony as well - fuckers.

It's good that it's upset them though

Much better race than yesterday's women's race. The boys are better than the girls

Careful, you may be send home for such remark.

Fair play Pidcock - I'd appreciate it if everyone could tone down the anti- French rhetoric - thanks!

Thankfully I'm already there

Just off tell the wife to put t'Kettle on - and get my eye blacked...

Certainly dear boy  One they've learned about sportsmanship 

[dom]

Will they learn that by reading through your contributions on this thread?

I was shocked when he got that puncture .. I was watching the TV coverage and I think I caught a glimpse of someone wearing a beret and a string of onions with an air rifle in the bushes.

Got a Silver in the Canoeing. Another cheating froggo won, seemed to me as if they stopped the timing clock for a few seconds to facilitate it.

The French deserve all the scorn, derision and vile calumnies we pour upon them because they wear cocks on their head or even dress as a complete cock.
