Thedelldays Posted 28 July, 2012 Share Posted 28 July, 2012 Well. Where are the medals FFS?? Women's football look good for a gong. Cavendish was beaten. Arlington tomorrow? I have a feeling we are going to be well short of the target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dune Posted 28 July, 2012 Share Posted 28 July, 2012 (edited) I watched the womens handball for about 5 minutes - what a thoroughly stupid game. Reckon they should liven it up with the sack race. Edited 28 July, 2012 by dune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 28 July, 2012 Share Posted 28 July, 2012 How much longer is this extended sports day lasting? Can't be much longer surely seeing all those empty seats so might as well end it very soon.:twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 28 July, 2012 Share Posted 28 July, 2012 (edited) What is the target? Minimum 4th in the medals table, as in Beijing - assuming that the United States pharmaceutical industry is top, with the Chinese pharma 2nd, ( or vice versa ) we are supposed to be aiming to keep either Germany or Russia in 5th.

Saintandy666 Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 Calm down. We didn't win any medals on day 1 last time round either and went on to do our best since ages ago. Give them a chance. There's only been one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 Not the best of days so far today either. Female archers out; badminton mixed pair out. And Adlington just scraped into the 400m final. And it looks like the mens' 4 x 100 relay team is out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 More's the pity it isn't over yet. Bored to tears with it already. Am always bemused when people post stuff like this - its not like the 1970s when you only had three channels to choose from and the Olympics were on all of them. Ive got almost 600 channels on my tv, most of them are utter tedious ****e as far I concerned, but presumably some people like them. Watch or do something else and be happy millions of people are inside watching tv so you can go out on quiet roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dune Posted 29 July, 2012 Share Posted 29 July, 2012 Well unlike you armchair sports fans one played golf today for the first time in 10 years today. Picked up a set of clubs including bag, balls, tee's, umbrella and trolley for 30 quid from a car boot en route. Averaged about 5 per hole (all par 3's) was hitting the long balls ok, but my short game was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
