Rio Olympics

These crowds are a joke. They might as well just give tickets away to local schools to fill the stadiums and get their kids interested in sport other than Football.

Great interview from Martyn Rooney as well "I ran like a dick".

Agreed. I was nodding off until he said that. Utterly bemused by that lap he turned in. Think he is too.

Rutherford on verge of a major fuck up.

3 way tie for silver in men's 300 butterfly.

 

[MCFC1993]

Rutherford might have just about scraped through, the silly twat.

Hope Valerie Adams wins the shot put and gets her moment which she was robbed of in London due to the winner being on drugs.

Pleased for Jazz Carlin silver medal, but that Katy Ledecki is something else at 19 years old.

I reckon they'd fill it if they held it in São Paulo but managing the thing would be even more mental.

Just spawned it. Lucky bastard.

What is it about yanks.Have they all been trained to cry on cue and pose for their anthem?

Their media would go apeshit if every Russian did the same.

She got silver, shame about the London robbery.

Ledecki was amazing, if she gets any quicker they'll need to give the other swimmers a jet ski : )

Brazils woman's football team paying tribute to our famous home game with boro. Over 20 shots on target compared to none from the aussies. Just gone into extra time. Australian coaches motivational speech was, to paraphrase. "Let's fuck em!"

Brazil keeper almost at penalty spot first kick.

 

[bumbleblue]

Amazing pen shoot out. Brazil 7 Australia 6. Mental scenes in the stadium. Lots of emotions from winners and losers.

Just seen the men's pursuit final. Get in Britain! Great race.

Anyone else planning to stay up until 4am to see the re-run of 'Super Saturday'... on Sunday morning?

I'm starting to regret staying up until 3am to see KJT's feeble efforts in the shot put. I think it might come down to the final event in the 800m at stupid o'clock.

We've also got a strong chance of a medal in the men's 4 x 100m relay, the very last event in the swimming.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Just catching up on the women's shot put. I wouldn't mess with any of these!

I noticed that too. What happened to staying on your line.

Amazing pen shoot out. Brazil 7 Australia 6. Mental scenes in the stadium. Lots of emotions from winners and losers.

I felt for the Aussie who missed and didn't think much of the classless way Brazil celebrated.

Should have had it on as part of the heptathlon. Jess Ennis' arse was the most prominent thing in her shots.

3rd in the medals table. Not bad for a country our size. I wonder what the spend is per country on their athletes? I bet some countries poor a shit load of money into their Olympic athletes. Probably a very uneven playing field where funding is concerned.
