Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Irish sportspeople can choose whether they represent RoI or the UK where appropriate

thanks mate

 

[Smirko]

Beat the Germans into 4th - Don't mention the Oar...

 

[Weststander]

Always great to hear only the true experts, Grainger and Pinsent .

 

[Frutos]

Great morning for the Ford family - bronze in the Women's Eight and gold in the Men's Eight.

They'll fly up the Medal Table after that.

 

[Kneon Light]

You could try to represent the FI in the Commonwealth Games.

No archery in commonwealth games I don't think - however I have also taken up bowls and have a good chance of representing FI in that.
Also hoping to represent FI at Island games at some point in one of the sports - very bizarre that I have a realistic chance of making by international sporting debut aged 52!

Matthew Pinsent has grown on me as the regatta has gone on. His slight awkwardness, his proper dad shirts make me smile, but his knowledge and insight is fantastic.

 

[hart's shirt]

10 boats.
9 finals.
8 medals.

After the aberration of Tokyo, normal service has been resumed.

My concern right now is how the hell am I going to cope with the huge void when the games are over?

Well you're on an island aren't you? Plenty of opportunities to watch boats move from point A to point B.

 

[Flounce]

Azu disqualified for a false start. Harsh that one false start means four years training have just been binned without running once at the Olympics

Feel for him

You don’t like football then?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Look at the Hinchcliffe mullet!!!!!

 

[Frutos]

Superb from Louie Hinchliffe!

 

[Flounce]

Look at the Hinchcliffe mullet!!!!!

Brilliant run though! I did not see that coming!

Is he a Chris Waddle fan, Newcastle lad?

Edit - quick Google tells me Sheffield lad

 

[nwgull]

Great run by Hinchcliffe. I’ll let him off that hair style for going sub 10s in the first round and beating Lyles.

Chrissy Waddle? Scorchio!

I reckon Hinchliffe is going to find his place in British sporting history as the most mis-spelled athlete of all time…
