lol I read that the way Cartman said it in Southpark

Its what Jamei Gumm (The posters name)or buffalo bill said in Silence of the lambs.

Jorah

Hungary going crazy!

Is it just me or anyone else finding it hard to hope Cian O'Connor wins a medal? Weird feeling.

Shameful Paddywhackery.

Everything they do reflects an inferiority complex.

It's like "look how great we're doing despite the fact that we're gombeen men".

Instead it should be "we are a great nation among equals...well done Katie Taylor".

I really hope you're just a troll because it would actually make me feel a bit sad if I thought there was people out there who could get this bitter for no reason whatsoever

Ah yeah I know that but there is an episode of South Park where Cartman is playing 'lambs' and reenacts that scene.

It was the horse that cheated, not him.

Cian is on shortly so I think they can forget about that fight until later on

Anyone

Normally I'd be the same, but I enjoy the build up, the dicussion, and the analysis. This is our best athlete and there is massive nationwide interest, so I'm enjoying the talk before and after.

Possibly another chance now in the showjumping with Cian O'Connor. Personally I'd love to hear ole,ole,ole and Fields of Athenry being belted out but a huge crowd of Irish people at the horsey place

The vast majority of viewers would want to see highlights of Katies fight and her interview over the fight to see who she's going to beat next, which is being shown now anyway. Might not be what you want but that's what the BBC red button is for

I feel I can't support him, not very Irish of me but I just cant I mentioned it earlier in the thread, same with Gatlin the other night, left a very bad taste.

No I really hope he does it, but I probably shouldn't, I remember being confused about that whole doping episode. I was never sure whether he was guilty or not.

I feel sorry for anyone not enjoying Katie's olympic journey, these days don't come around very often, I for one will be enjoying all of the singing, jingoism, interviews and endless replays. Those who don't are very sad indeed.

Catari Jaguar

What the heck is going on with the women's boxing Brazil & Russia. Loose trunks, untied laces. Very sloppy boxing too. Especially after seeing Katie. That gombeen on RTE "She boxes like a man." No, she boxes like a fukn boxer.

kfallon

Still buzzin' after Katie

On behalf of the whole Country, this is for you Katie:

+1 and hopefully in 20 years time I'll be able to tell the kids I remember the day Katie Taylor won gold in the first ever games were women were allowed to box.

To be fair, he does look a bit ''cerebrally challenged''.

Meanwhile on RTE: 'we will back with a commercial break after this short break'.
They should spend some of their advertising revenue on their I.T. department.

Was the same the other day I think it was Friday last week I checked it and it had crashed too, alls I got was a picture of Bosco with the text saying, Sorry our website seems to be temporarily unavailable.

I expected it today tbh but half hoped they might have sorted it. I am surprised they managed to show it on TV and didnt mess that up somehow.

I'm finding it hard to see past Nick Skelton for the gold in the showjumping.

She must have seen a gash of the same name

Still laughing at her 'performance' on Epsom Derby weekend, "Bonfire this" & "Bonfire that" it was nauseating until Camelot went past and farted in his face
