The Olympic Thread

[go you pups]

Can the keeper run out like that?

They weren't hard on her at all, thought you weren't allowed

That 5th penalty was saved because Barbara was off her line, though it was a dumb penalty should've went low and hard in the right corner

 

[jd2010]

She must have been warned. Didn't do it for pen 6 & 7 and they made her look stupid. Surprise surprise saves number 8 2-3 steps off her line before the ball is kicked

 

[Magma]

nice home town officiating

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Even the Brazilian women's national team is a shower of campaigners.

Gutted for the Matildas. We were a medal chance this time around. Sick of this 'done us proud' shit.

 

[jd2010]

No doubt if it wasn't Brazil she would have been carded

 

[Munga]

We should've got a penalty in the 2nd half. Brazil should've been red carded for a vicious tackle in the 2nd half. Brazil keeper was allowed to come off her line by many metres.

We were robbed.

 

[jod23]

Such a shit pen by Gorry though. She had no balls. She went high and up the middle. Go low and hard and pick a corner. Even if the keep guesses right, it's difficult to save.

Or, that keeper was so jumpy and coming off her line a think a stutter step run up could have worked a treat, make the keeper move first then simple finish.

Shame.

 

[chef]

Oh yeah...Go Mikel

 

[BluesMan]

Oh yeah...Go Mikel

exquisite finish

Aus in the women's beach volleyball. that's me sorted for a while.

Marcus Fraser shits the bed in the last round. Does it on tour too.

As an aside WealstoneRaider why are you weaklings Team GB yet at nearly every other major sporting event are England?
Should be country only. BS that you can claim Murray's success.
Next Olympics we'll be the North-South Asia alliance. Australia and China.

Secondly Rose about to win Gold/Silver in the Golf. Do you have any non-South Africans that are good at anything.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Wipe away those salty tears Dr G.

I didn't hear you complaining when you used to wipe the floor with us at the Olympics.

Just won our first ever Gymnastics gold. Unstoppable we are

 

[Art Vandelay_]

My disgust at your Saffer sports imports is not new friend and not limited to the Olympics.

Oh and I asked a question. Why England everywhere else but on the biggest sporting scale the need to stick together?

Did you really win at the Gymnastics or was it a Scotsman? or a Welshman?

Christ what a bitter you are.

According to wiki Rose came to England age 5 and was born to English parents.

And we've always been GB in the Olympics - in fact football and rugby are the anomalies being separate rather than the other way round.

Worry about your own Olympic failings rather than being a campaigner and having a flog at GB

 

[BluesMan]

Lochte held at gun point.

One of those places in the world im okay with not ever visiting

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Murray!
Rose!
Whitlock! (x2)
Kenny!

5 golds - sensational!

 

[Gosha]

That 400m was immense. New WR from lane eight.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Amazing / never saw that coming.

We've got Michael Johnson giving the analysis in the BBC studio. He's a great guy and very magnanimous about his record being taken

 

[chef]

Bolts a freak. Him and Phelps are something we may never see again. So lucky are we.

What a time to be alive

Bolt really is. It's frightening that because he is quite a tall and big man, he often starts slow and takes a while to get going, yet still always blows everyone away.

Be interesting to see if he can get the 200m as well.
