He supports Ireland too as he is Irish. His real surname is O'Meara.0 -

Seriously don't know what it has got to do with him. A Bradley Wiggins fan (Colm Quinn) gave him a great response on twitter:
“I was very disappointed @bradwiggins didn’t sing the anthem either. Show some respect to our Monarch please!” Piers Morgan
"@piersmorgan, I was disappointed when you didn’t go to jail for insider trading or phone hacking, but you know, each to his own."
He's a condescending prick that's why
He's genuinely one of the most detestable "celebrities" on the planet, and a cheap excuse for a journalist
He says that he'll donate money for every athlete who sings the anthem when winning. Completely unfair situation to put anyone under who may not want to sing the anthem for a number of reasons
And before anyone chims in with "but he's giving money to charity". Well he's giving 1k per anthem sung, which is a fraction of his vast wealth. Plenty of people give much more and do use doing so as a PR exersize
He makes me sick0 -

He's a big Arsenal fan (poor deluded sap!) and when Samir Nasri came to City, he wasn't best pleased and bet £10,000 with Samir as to which team would be the first to collect silverware after the transfer.He likes doing these twitter bet things. Doesn't bother me really as I'm sure the athletes don't care and his donation to GOSH is over £25k now.
Piers lost!

Many congrats to the BBCs coverage of the olympics, I must say it really has been a joy to watch the games on BBC1, BBC3, + the BBC red button/stream channels. The presenters have been second to none, their studio guests well picked, I cant praise the coverage highly enough, oh yeah and finally; They have been very accommodating towards all the Irish athletes too, almost as if they are part of the home team! < this has gone down very well among the Irish in Britain, as well as back here in Ireland. Ten out of ten for the BBC coverage of the London olympics.
It will be very quiet on the TV next week when its all over

Coverage has been good but the interviews have been for the most part, awful.
The guy at the edge of the track is poor and Gary Lineaker is woeful0 -

Wonder why its listed as last week on the 2012 Website.
In fairness anything is more entertaining than the dressage. At least BMX has an element of sport about it. Its just not my cup of tea. I was a bit harsh in calling it crap.0 -

the captain, maybe?In 1998 the libero player was introduced internationally.[13] The libero is a player specialized in defensive skills: the libero must wear a contrasting jersey color from his or her teammates and cannot block or attack the ball when it is entirely above net height. When the ball is not in play, the libero can replace any back-row player, without prior notice to the officials. This replacement does not count against the substitution limit each team is allowed per set, although the libero may be replaced only by the player whom he or she replaced.
The libero may function as a setter only under certain restrictions. If she/he makes an overhand set, she/he must be standing behind (and not stepping on) the 3-meter line; otherwise, the ball cannot be attacked above the net in front of the 3-meter line. An underhand pass is allowed from any part of the court.
The libero is, generally, the most skilled defensive player on the team. There is also a libero tracking sheet, where the referees or officiating team must keep track of whom the libero subs in and out for. There may only be one libero per set (game), although there may be a different libero in the beginning of any new set (game).
Furthermore, a libero is not allowed to serve, according to international rules, with the exception of the NCAA women's volleyball games, where a 2004 rule change allows the libero to serve, but only in a specific rotation. That is, the libero can only serve for one person, not for all of the people for whom he or she goes in. That rule change was also applied to high school and junior high play soon after.0 -

Wow that does look easy, I've only mountain biked twice, both times in Ballyhoura and Ballyhoura looks a lot harder than that.
I imagine that is not much of a challenge to skilled mountain bikers.0 -
