No 36 The interview with Le Clos's dad after his lad won gold. Loved it.

It was a reference to my shout on the Instant Cunt Identifiers thread!

 

Ahhh...well i think he's a cunt...probably piss off captain though...we all have those we like and dislike. Loved Jimmy Connors, Becker, Aggassi and Borg...can't stand fed or that Spanish cunt...but that is how things are in sport as a fan we have a choice.Taking nothing away from the talent those i don't like have.

Isn't that normal protocol for the loser usually? Heads straight to the changing rooms to get changed whilst the winner milks the win.

The only reason that it is different in the grand slam finals is that they have the ceremony/interview straight after, obviously in this case they all had to get changed and get ready for the ceremony which happened about 10 minutes later.

 

Nothing to see here.

No, nothing of the sort.

Conflicted feelings here. Win for Murray, but Olympic gold for GB.

 

Yeah it is bittersweet really. Great that its another gold medal.

 

For a guy who most times pointed out that he is Scottish not British when asked about support he receives at Wimbledon, but quite happy to play under the GB banner in the olympics.

Big question: Will Murray be able to put that to one side and play the mixed Doubles now...to be honest I dont realy care....although it would be fabulous for Robson

 

A question i asked myself and came up with the conclusion it could help Murray already having a Gold. Less pressure and he will want to do it for young Laura.

No' date=' nothing of the sort.[/quote']

 

If you watch a normal game that happens everytime - loser walks off with his bag, the other player stays on, waves his hands about then gets interviewed.

 

Grand Slam finals are different because they have the ceremony straight after and the big interview with Sue Barker or whoever else so they both stay on, get interviewed, then receive their respective trophies.

 

Obviously in this instance there wasn't "the big interview" and ceremony immediately after so it went back to the usual routine...

 

Anyway, no point arguing about it, we just won another fucking gold!

Kenny takes the first heat in his cycling sprint quarter final for the benefit of anyone still soaking up the aftermath of the tennis. Awang (Malaysia) went out early coming into the final lap, Kenny dropped the hammer and did him on the outside round the final bend.

I have the cycling on...been glued to every minute of it. For me the team of the Olympics for GB and we have had a great time from a lot of winners.

I think if you asked most, if not all, the Scots on the GB team they would answer the same...possibly similarly for the other nations as well. Its just he was asked directly

Its just how I feel. Entertain me! And, boy, have we been entertained.

 

And, yes, I'm on the cycling

 

I wish all of us could be sat together watching this in the same bar...imagine the fun in that. my daughter 8who has now left) is into it, missus hates sport and the oldest lad just loves fitba.....young lad just loves toys.
