    Surely there's enough cameras on it to confirm if he's right??? When asked if theyll appeal he responded "Yes bu they'll not even bother looking at replays"

    Oh and does anyone else think Paula Radcliffe is a knob? Really seems to be a bit of tension between her and Gabby lol.

    He's probably having a strop. I say **** like that when I have a strop. <laugh> #doommonger

    He's not going to get a medal, but would be at least nice to have a record/time for your efforts. <ok>

    Missed the repechage race. Skinner relegated for banking to early or something. Just Kenny going for gold now.

    Watched the ending of it, didn't see the first yellow he was given, but in the swim to the line its difficult to even see why they gave him a 2nd. Wasn't like the womens yesterday when it was clear she'd swam over the top of the other girl and blocked her. Can see why he's pissed, 10km and to be disqualified for what looks like nothing.

    Anyone see the Irish boxer get absolutely robbed?

    I did. I commented earlier about the disgraceful judging of the boxing and then the next bout, that happens. What's going on with it?

    Unbelievable how good Britain are at cycling. It shows that if you invest money into sport you can get a lot of success out of it.

    I can tell you precisely what's gone on with a number of sports.

    Russia got banned in athletics and certain sports.

    The Russians have bribed every sporting judge going to ensure a high medal haul.

    Simple.

    The Irish lad fought a Russian and tonked him in all 3 rounds and gets a unanimous decision against him... that's corruption right there.

    It's not like they had an amazing haul in London 2/3 medals max in men's.

    Let's see if they somehow win more here. I don't think thry have many yet.

    I asked if it was Manchester games last time but I remember the Scottish games too....when did they first get Good?. I'm sure I remember a debate about how bad it was once.

    I think it was in the run up to Athens where they started improving with the likes of Hoy coming through. Then I'm guessing the funding from Athens lead to the dominance in Beijing, which now means British cycling gets an almost disproportionate amount of funding considering the amount of riders in comparison to track and field athletes etc.

    Think thats been know about British cycling for a while now. Think the big success story on how well the money has been spent is the Gymnastics, its frankly staggering to think how **** we traditionally were at it to see whats been achieved this Olympics.

    Has Kenny got a turbo-charger or DRS?
