Our best medal haul since 1956 would you believe? :eek:

Paddy Barnes is only the second Irish athlete to win medals at different Olympic games, the other was Pat O'Callaghan in 1928 and 1932.

Also equals our highest ever medals tally at an Olympics - five in Melbourne in 1956.

Nice

I could understand him.
Why ?

Mick dowling is such a pain in the hole!!!

Colmustard

Just thinking about the ref giving 2 warnings.

What type of people go into refereeing and judging in all sports, it is an ungrateful job, difficult I would imagine, but very necessary for all sports.

"He was in bits"
"Who?"
"Humpty Dumpty"

Congrats to them, not only for winning medals, but for bringing this country together for a little while and making everyone forget about their problems.

Bernard always talks up all our fighters in fairness to him - he's very supportive

Guy:Incognito

Student of sport and entertainment management. Sounds like a made up course to give a really good athlete a scholarship.:)

If there was a world title for interrupting, Bernard Dunne would be the undisputed pound-for-pound champion....
