Are we that desperate as a country?
Desperate for what? Just stating a fact. Am I wrong?

Desperate enough that we'd count them.

Michelle has her medals, she was done for tampering 2 years later, was plenty tested at the time.

Americans were pissed (no pun intended) off  and bit of a witch hunt after that, as said though a whiff of doubt unfortunately

On this race was listening to it on the way home, radio commentary is brilliant

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

They are still in the history books, why would you not count them, you can not count them all you want but you can't change the the fact they still are there and therefore should be counted.
SHOCKING REVELATIONS!!!

Does she not get the  benefit of the doubt?

It's hard to make a genuine argument in her favour. In my opinion. She's as tainted as Lance Armstrong.

GAAboard never fails! We'll have more posts on Michelle Smith than Daniel Wiffen!

Quote from: AustinPowers on July 30, 2024, 08:55:15 PMWell done lad. Great win

Why aren't  people including Michelle Smith's medals?  She wasn't  found guilty of anything in  Atlanta , so why wouldn't  her medals count?

Because she's a lying, cheating ****.

Andy Murray's match was great

I'd put her in the same league as Mo Farah and he prances about like a hero.

Lads on here only delighted to dismiss three likes of Farah as a cheat racing to highlight how Michelle never lost her medals ffs. Embarrassing.

Waterford Crystal was innocent and all. Sure he never knowingly took anything banned.

In other news Jack McMillan did a declan rice and swam for GB this evening in the relay (they won). Swam for Ireland in the last olympics

Captain Scarlet

As a viewer that felt different to McSharry. He just seemed like a winner before it started.

Still let the emotions take over in the medal ceremony but then back to business for the interview.

Hope he brings another one home. It's serious going.

The rowing lads look great as does Kellie. Fingers crossed.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

;D

I thought it was  Down?
Well done Daniel. 2 counties claiming him .Down and Armagh. He played underage for St Michael's Maheralinn who play gaa in Down.
But the village is on the county line so both are claiming.

He seems a serious operator. A long road for him and the whole family to get to the top of that podium. Easy to forget the legwork families put in behind the scenes of amateur athletes.

Rory has a chance of gold for Ireland
