Mine would be ...........Competitor = Lurcher1................................................Event = Most stupid topic for a thread ! ..............

Myself i think its a can of worms that is open already and will never shut............Ive had a theory about races/sport for a number of years now that i think is gradually showing itself in the athletes we see today................... Its probably laughable to some.....but its my belief that eventually all of Great Britains best athletes will be half caste !!.......................And without doubt there are more and more " mixed race " athletes in GB vests competing and winning than ever before.......Gemili/Ennis etc .................. Do we expect the pure bred dogs to be the best hunt
-
We do agree.............its just like we,ve said before...............there is just such a vast difference between am and pro in every aspect it really is hard to compare the 2 as sports............be it in the ring or out............probably no other sport as so much of a difference between amateur and professional.

I couldnt care less about his bowing on the floor thats not my point..................my point is IF Mo Farrahs ancestors had been born and bred in Hounslow he would not of won Olympic Gold in the 10,000 metres !!............Thats a fact................ Those Kenyans/Ethiopians/Somalians etc etc are genetically gifted to distance running due to being born and raised at altitude.....ie over generations Mo Farrah has a greater genetic potential towards distance running than Archie Mcmac whos ancestry is from Kilmarnock !.................. If Mo Farrahs mum had gone back to Somalia he would

Whats that,perfect world politics ??? I support West Ham but i have to accept that not many players come from this area....what should i do stop supporting them ?......I support the CLUB.....im a fan of the CLUB..............................as a GB Olympics sports fan im a fan of GB.........hence i want anyone in a GB vest to win...................ideally id like every GB representative to be white and British born......but this is the world we live in what should we do step out of the real world and live on a fantasy island where the air doesnt move !...................sometimes you just

Gte......the term " pro " may well mean professional,ie....being paid....................................but in reality,very few " pro " boxers can actually live off the game...............take Rendall Munroe as an example......top level fighters dont work as bin men during the day for the love of picking up rubbish Its only a very small % of elite pro fighters who can live off the game of boxing.

And i thought i was an argumentative c**t Like i said,nobody could say the funding hasnt been a big help.......but i dont think you can buy will to win and character.....and without doubt our athletes have shown more than ive ever seen before........maybe Birds right maybe home support is a big advantage it is in every other sport........would we have won the world cup in 66 if we hadnt hosted it....who knows. Personally i think our success in these games has been a combination of everything funding,great preperation,home advantage and a basic great set of athletes.......obviously we do

Decided over the weekend my garden misses a bit of noise since the kids left home so fancy keeping a few Canaries for their lovely tones........i dont want a great big aviary so whats the smallest you could get away with and how many birds etc...... And can they live out all year round................ive seen these f****n great big wooden cages say the size of a single wardrobe but not sure if you would leave the birds in them all year round and i dont fancy having them indoors...............anyone got any thoughts ?
-
I think we have definately had the rub of the green decisions wise up to now.....but nobody can win through to a gold on luck alone so if any of them were not good enough they,ll get found out eventually.............personally i dont think the best all round fighter necesarily wins an amateur contest in a 1 off bout and thats why i dont particularly like it............but that dont mean you can bullshit your way through a competition the best fighter will usually win the gold over the entire tournament.
-
While nobody could say the funding hasnt made a difference in the preparation our lads and lasses have put in....and every other benefit extra finances make.................i dont think our athletes sheer guts and will to win should be underestimated either and you just cant buy that.......ive noticed in many of these events the British athletes while maybe on the same level as many of the opposition talent/skill wise....we just look like we want it that bit more,and i think thats so refreshing to see you cant put a price on guts and character and our competetive instinct and sheer attitude ov

Absolutely spot on Johnnyboy I actually feel a bit sorry for him its obvious he,s trying to get people to like him and i think thats a shame.................so he,s a quiet lad who dont come across as bubbly and joyful in interviews....so what.....its a shame that top athletes in this country feel like they have to change their personality to gain support its not f****n x factor,big brother or any of them other nauseating popularity shows its top level sport ! He,s doing what he does best and that should be enough....................unfortunately for him he,s born into a generation that con

For all those people who like to critisize Team GB
gnasher16 replied to tegater's topic in General Talk
:laugh: .....I know hindsites a great thing to have....................................................but then so is faith,pride and loyalty to your nation ! -
Again thats a beauty of sport.......................be it shoulder to shoulder on a football terrace,be it an opponent in competition or be it a team mate.....sport is the only place ive ever just seen " a man "....and not black or white............probably not a nice trait to admit to but again sport brings out the best in us all in my opinion

Wormwood Scrubs ............ Best of luck to you and grow from the experience
-
OH GO AWAY Im not the most tolerant of chaps when it comes to race but i believe sport brings out the best and worst in folk........................and tonight,id kiss Mo Farrahs sweet little bald head
-
She could of lost the final race by 13 seconds and still took gold...........................but classy lady as she is she wanted to finish the job in style................ Id be interested to know if an Olympic Heptathlon has ever been won by over 300 points before...........she pissed it.......fantastic !
-
You was bang on with that one mate If i remember right i said a total of 12 golds......You said 16 was it ?...................Think your gonna be closest What a night im knackered just watching !
-
Absolutely right...............must admit as ive watched stadiums built and the temperature rise in general down here over the last few years as regards the Olympics i was fearful it would be a bit of a wash out what with folk saying its just for London..............but i think its been brilliant theres accents round these parts from all over Britain at the moment and its a great feeling,the immigrants are quietly hiding away while true British people engage in a great tradition thats brought the nation together..........sport.................if its done that for the Olympics think what it cou
-
For every bit of luck that go,s for you theres 3 bits that go against you.............and we,ve had our share of bad luck in sport...........think " cheating " is a bit strong though.
-
Well i think thats terrible...........
-
Must admit im not a big fan of amateur boxing and can only watch the fights that involve a Brit......................then again i could say the same about womens basketball ....still gotta get behind them.
-
Many happy returns chief

Whats this another in depth psycological analysis...................from a keyboard !............If you want to do a deep psycological profile on me,come and do it eye to eye .......my bet is you would be just a little bit more polite
-
I dont doubt thats a lot to do with it................but i truly believe we just look like we WANT IT that bit more in a lot of these events.............naturally thats part of the advantage in having the home crowd of course but id like to think some of it also is basic competetive spirit and will to win...............and that comes from within
-
awwww bless that the best you can do...............f**k off you knob you got it wrong and showed no faith in your fellow Brit..................you live with it and stop whingeing at others who DID show faith !
