    not one cent should be given to them, not one cent of my money should be given to the likes of Paddy Barnes acting the maggot on twitter when he should be training

    Maybe I'm getting old but there was nothing (apart from the Irish competitors) that really grabbed my attention. Even before it all started I wasn't pushed by it and didn't feel like I missed anything by not watching it

    Personally I think the next poster who suggest Barnes lost because he likes to use twitter or that Conlan's reaction to being cheated out of a medal was 'undignified' should be put into a ring and given an absolute hiding by the two of them.

    Not so thinly veiled "I love Britain/England and they did great at the Olympics and the two I mentioned at the bottom are Irish and didn't win" thread.

    I have to laugh at the Irish lads trying to belittle Team GB for targeting certain sports when they done the exact same themselves in Boxing, except in typical Irish fashion they made a total hames of it, all they have to show for Rio 2016 is 2 medals, a load of arrests and a drug disqualification

    Kipchoge winning the marathon - hope he was clean but still a great win in appalling conditions.
