  1. What i hate about all these soppy gangster books is they will tell you all the things the person is proud of and wants to be known for............while something that they are ashamed of and dont want anybody to know about will be conveniently left out and hushed up..........................lets leave it at that
  2. Looked back......couldnt find where you said that.......................but f**k it who cares
  3. Yes.....we,ll do this by pm eh mate
  4. I wasnt aware Bruce Forsythe Sean Connery or Paul Mccartney played sport..........................im not defending gameshow hosts or washed up singers...........im defending top level sportsmen !
  5. We,ve already been here mate.........................i say again....." will never " means in future..........Alan Wells won the Olympic 100 m over 30 years ago ....read back a few pages
  6. Cracking little write up there. My opinion is there is no better place than an amateur boxing gym for a boy to learn the vital skills and discipline needed not just in a boxing ring but in life itself..........As long as a young athlete can keep an open mind the further he progresses and not be blinded by " this is the way " and can remain an individual theres no reason a lad shouldnt gain great qualities in every area of life from amateur boxing..................pro boxing will be for very few of those lads and as long as once he turns pro he is prepared to forget near everything he learned
  7. Thats an easy thing to say while theres no fire !............If there was any real danger and it was a choice of a 15 stone man or a 15 stone woman only a fool would choose the woman.....................lets keep it real,women are not as physically strong and durable as men..................part of the bullshit in all this pc bollocks is the average man/woman/child in the street is put at risk............be it a police officer in the street during a mugging,or a fire in a house......you would rather the most capable person possible to help you out,and when it comes to a physical challenge,in g
  8. They do get something for it......they get money......its called a job.... of which they study/train to earn a living,they,re not forced to do it.............................that cant be compared to top sportsman who have a very rare skill/talent.............. Theres a million and one people who could become fireman or nurses if given the opportunity.................there is only a very tiny amount of people who can win Olympic gold medals or perform at the very highest level of sport. As much as i think nurses and fireman are underpaid......they dont deserve a knighthood for doing a job
  9. hmmm fair point.......i hadnt really give much thought to the birds i dont really follow womens sport.....but id still imagine the whiteys are pretty rare at distance running.
  10. Always makes me laugh when people describe professional athletes as being " shit " and " a shambles "..............why are they shit ? because they are not the best in the world !!!......Tell me,you lads who are calling them shit......are you the best lathe operators,factory floor cleaners,fork lift truck drivers etc etc in the world ?.......if not would you accept it if i called you shit at your job ? When you get the financial jealousy out of the way sport becomes a whole lot more clear.......not everyone can be the best As regards Fifas rankings...........they are a joke..............
  11. N...... N..... N..... N.................Nineteen Golds The triathon boy Alistaire Brownlee......and his brother got bronze..................could be 21 Golds by the end of the day.
  12. I dont know how old you are but i would guess its partly due to the way old school values are slowly being replaced with cool trendy new ideas................like women boxing ! Ok we,re talking about women boxing on this occasion but it could be many other things.....women firefighters whats all that about................if i was stuck in a burning building id rather have a 16 stone powerful man coming to rescue me than a 10 stone woman....................again.......its a compromise on the very sport/job they are doing...all in the name of equality and keeping up with the times.....never mi
  13. The reason being Mochara..............guts/gameness call it what you will............is not pretty,its sometimes very scarey,and it can come with lasting damage and severe consequences on occasion...................while thats a trait i admire in a man or dog...................its not something i ever wish to see a woman put through. Im not talking about swapping a few punches...............im talking about the guts and will to win it takes to push through and beyond your physical and mental capabilities when all seems lost................................. While i think women are fine creatu
  14. Well would you adam and eve it............another half caste steaming along in sport Only messing......the boy done good hopefully another gold on its way....how many we on now im running out of fingers and toes
  15. Yep i get the picture.....cheers
  16. Yes Geoff Capes was a very strong man and no slouch for such a big guy...............his main rival of the time was another of my sporting icons......i was fortunate enough to meet him up in your fair land he was competing in the Highland Games we spoke about gyms very kind and decent man................second strongest man in history in my opinion........brilliant athlete,brilliant man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wth4bKK7BkI
  17. For years Malt that theory held a lot of weight in the sports world.......up till quite recently it was pretty much accepted that the strongest men in the world were predominantly Scandinavian.........Strongman contests were almost always won by Icelandics/Norweigans/Swedes/Finns etc etc.........................over more recent years the Strongman contests and weightlifting in general titles have been more shared throughout the world Yanks/Eastern Europe etc.......for what reason i dont know.......but i agree theres definately something in it as blacks are still not represented in strength eve
  18. If your daughter sticks at it to adulthood.....please God she never takes a serious hiding,but if she does you may well change your opinion............im not talking about getting sparked out im talking about a battle that takes something out of a person.......any person. After all said and done if womens boxing cant be taken to those levels then its a compromise on what the sport essentially is.... For keeping fit yes great.....................for dig down deep traumatic battles....no way.
  19. And by the same token......how do blacks fair in Olympic weightlifting or Worlds Strongest Man contests..................they dont ! Blacks = Horsepower Whites = Torque
  20. I wouldnt be buying that exact one im not too bad with a saw so would just be using that as a guide.............i dont want anything too big so sizewise its what i want.....i would be able to put a door in the back as its going to back onto a shed.....so losing birds and practicality shouldnt be an issue.
  21. Exactly.....the Jamaicans in the sprints......the Africans in the distance events.....had not really come into their own at that stage....... When Alan Wells won the 1980 100m.....6 of the 8 starters were white........................in the 2012 100m none were white !..............same applies to the distance events.
  22. Im not missing out if i dont like it. I could watch my son go through a long hard possibly dangerous battle and be proud of him.......i couldnt watch my daughter go through a long hard dangerous battle without feeling ashamed that im not protecting her.....................different strokes for different folks i guess.
  23. The clue was in the words " WILL NEVER " ....................your talking about 30 years ago im talking about in the future.......30 years ago white people were winning the 5,000 and 10,000 m........................not now and never will again.
  24. It was quite funny yesterday....my pal text me at about 4 o clock saying something like " The Brit Murray won gold in the tennis "..............at about 8 o clock the same pal text saying " That Scottish c**t f****d it up again " ..............and he wasnt even trying to funny !
  25. ok yep i could do that......its going to back up onto a shed anyway so shouldnt be too difficult....thanks
