maje Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Short answer, yes. fair enough, i was just asking as i really didnt know that she could. hope she does but cant see it after the last two days it may have just taken it out of her!!!! Quote
Didledee Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 You said we weren't taking advantage of being at home I said wait until the nearer the end I did say that when we weren't, though I think talent in these sports will overcome home support, it obviously helps though. I ain't a clue if we've won so many gold because of it being at home. Quote
no balls Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I did say that when we weren't, though I think talent in these sports will overcome home support, it obviously helps though. I ain't a clue if we've won so many gold because of it being at home. When the British athletes have been interviewed after, almost all have said it did. Quote
Carlos Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Portugal haven't won a single medal I think. Population on 5m with 5m+ expats around. Team GB went there to train, they have the facilities, the climate, healthier lifestyles and diets. We've got loads of golds and loads of burger scoffing obese fat kids. Bit like the US. Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 now boxing fcuk me, its relentless Our boxers are quietly and effciently, winning, and getting some cracking biased results from judges as well. Home advantage really counts here and we should be landing a shedload of medals. Quote

no balls Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 agogo and the super heavyweight bloke were lucky I do hope his first name is Einstein. Quote
Didledee Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 then maybe you shouldn't have been negative in your earlier post If I could turn back time, I'd change it just for you, when I typed that post GBR weren't doing well, they are now, I didn't say they wouldn't, maybe to be fair, even things out and to make you happy I should have mentioned that home support seems to be working now, but I have no idea if we're doing well because it's in Britian, because we did well at Beijing and you'd hope we could have used home support in other areas like the swimming and gym.

Didledee Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) When she was interviewed I'd never seen her before and thought she had an illness, I'd shave the little bits of hair off. Edited August 4, 2012 by Didledee Quote
Salford Trotter Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Bolty, i bet the Aussie press are slating their own. It must be the best time to be a pommie down under since we won the Ashes Quote
Guest bwfcdan Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 When she was interviewed I'd never seen her before and thought she had an illness, I'd shave the little bits of hair off. See my post from about 2 pages back. She has the same illness as Gail Porter. Quote
gonzo Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 See my post from about 2 pages back. She has the same illness as Gail Porter. and jules darby. Quote
no balls Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) See my post from about 2 pages back. She has the same illness as Gail Porter. I presume you mean alopecia areata, and not bipolar, which Porter has been diagnosed as having as well. Edited August 4, 2012 by no balls Quote

no balls Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) wow are you on a crusade? so soon! Not really. I was just being satirical. Sorry for any offence taken by Mail readers though. Edited August 4, 2012 by no balls Quote
MalcolmW Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 but can she just decide to enter it now? She is entered (and broke British record on Friday), but my understanding that it was a fallback in case of disaster in the heptathlon (like 3 no jumps or throws). If she does compete she could reach the final but would do well to place. In Tokyo 1964 Mary Rand took gold in the long jump, then silver in the pentathlon, then bronze in the sprint relay. Quote
maaarsh Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Murray scheduled to play back to back finals. Hopefully he dusts off Roger quickly. Am at the Velodrome tomorrow morning. Worst session events wise, but still very excited. Then a race home to see the Finn class final. Will miss the Star class but we're very likely to win that. Could easily take 6 more tomorrow if the stars align! Quote

gonzo Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 never realised we only got one gold in atlanta 96..... crazy shit man... who go it macly boy? Quote
bgoefc Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Not really. I was just being satirical. Sorry for any offence taken by Mail readers though. tSatirical! ...too complex for anyone from LL at a time like this Quote
