    Did they just say they didn't under-rate Campbell?

    Better fighter on the day won!

    Not sure the better fighter won but Campbell has a gold so fair play

    We all know the Judges were for the Brit.

    I thought Nevin won the second round but Campbell was cleary the better fighter in the first and third rounds. Judges or no judges.

    a silver medal is still a fantastic achievement, congratulations to John Joe Nevin and I hope he knows everyone is extremely proud of him and all the Irish boxers

    Yes, this has still been a very successful Olympics for Ireland!

    Give over. Stevie Wonder could see that Campbell (aka ''the Brit'') was the better boxer. Christ, even Jimmy Magee took his blinkers off at the end and said he thought Campbell had won it.

    Stevie Wonder just tweeted that he thought Nevin won it.

    what can you say about that relay.

    The Usa ran a great race matching the old world record.

    A terrific 3rd leg by Blake set up Bolt to smash the WR.

    It's something to do with soldiers in the 1800s :confused:

    I think 5 soldiers invented it. One of them could run fast. One had a sword. A third was shot by a laser gun once. Another saw a horse once and the last guy drowned.

    That's why it's called the "pentathlon".

    Mick just cannot stop going on about Campbell and his long arms. A pair of fire hoses he has attached to his shoulders apparently.
