Add that one to the 'could have been gold' pile. Shame because the running was really good

The same old story. I was criticised earlier today for being underwhelmed by the British performance.

Turned out nice this evening. If you're a duck.

May turn out to be a decent evening if you are a bull, as well.

Great run from the girls there for silver in the relay. SheCarri just too good when shes on it her last leg was lightning.

Neita was catching on Richardson there. Shame about the handovers.

 

[Scottyboi]

Dina and Neita deserved gold. Stunners

I mean silvers are still really good in fairness. It's just a shame we seem to have so many Arsenal-esque olympians

Should have been gold that, huge missed opportunity.

I think I’ve sussed out what it is that grates on me with the morning and late night coverage.
There is no spark between the presenters. With Dame Denise, Jessica, Michael and Gabby there’s a kind of charisma. Plus the same with Becky, Clare and Mark.
Whereas with Isa and Mark Chapman their banter appears forced. Same with Jeanette and JJ. Whereas poor Hazel is all alone.
JMHO :-) :-)

Don’t see why. There’s the winner and then everybody else.

Unfortunately, that doesn't count towards the medals. If it did, Molly Caudery would have won gold.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Another marginal fucking silver, 2 bad changes too

Maybe "criticised" is a tad OTT. But I was certainly pulled up on it.

 

[jimharri]

Two poor handovers out of 3. Not good enough at that level.

 

[MCFC1993]

Carlin's already on a yellow, probably getting disqualified for that.

 

[SebastianBlue]

France pull one back in the 79th minute.

We’ve been very wasteful in front of goal, with several players selfishly shooting wide instead of passing for a much better chance on goal several times this half, which has come back to bite us in the arse.

 

[jimharri]

"That looked unintentional from Carlin". Hmm.

What was he thinking knowing he was already on a yellow if he gets disqualified he’s only himself to blame..

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Unfortunately, that doesn't count towards the medals. If it did, Molly Caudery would have won gold.

Can't believe she failed 3 times at her first height going 15cm above everyone else. All she needed to do was get to the final and she would have had sponsors for life because she is ridiculously attractive.

 

[BringBackSwales]

To be honest British relay baton changes have been pretty dodgy for decades

Brainless from him.
