Gillian O'Sullivan withdraws
One of few medal prospects gone.
Thankfully somethings going right for Limerick at last....unbeaten now in our last three, and we have Irelands best medal chances at the games: Andy Lee in the scrapping, and Sam Lynch in the paddling.....COME ON THE BLUES!!!!!!!!!
more bad news
don't think he was a medal hope but you have to feel for the guy after four years looking forward to his chance.

This is going to be the biggest failure in the history of the games.
The Greeks will be paying for this mistake a long time and wont do the EMU and good.

I think the Greeks have a reputation for crap driving that would make the irish look fairly good.
andy lee impressive knocking the stuffing out of lopez
i reckon he will defo get a medal,hopefully gold
clay pigeon shooter burnett from longford hit 119 out of 125 targets and just missed the shoot off between the top 6.
I hope you're right but i was listening to Mick Dowling on RTE, and he said Lee's last-eight (Q-final) fight would be a very tough one, he's in the stronger side of the draw. Fingers crossed though.

he is hard to hit because of his physique(very tall and wirey) and has a good dig on him and is improving all the time.
i am very hopeful
Unfortunately the guy he's supposed to meet in the last 8 (all going well) is identical to him in physique and style, so thats going to be a major test.he is hard to hit because of his physique(very tall and wirey) and has a good dig on him and is improving all the time.
i am very hopeful
The scoring system is quite baffling though, all 3 judges have to hit their buttons at the same time to make a point....and while I'm at it, when Lee was fighting Lopez, he made Lopez take a standing count in the third, yet he scored no point for making the mexican take a count....confusing or what??

the scoring system is a mess.guys getting clobbered and them getting a point
instead of the agressor etc.although at least its semi-transparent.
Bit weird partnership between Token Oirish Man & Big Horsey Woman presenting the nightly highlights show on BBC.Sounds tad paranoid,but Craig Doyle on the Beeb is turning out to be an honorary'West Br*t',with all these'we' refs......Know he works for them,but even old Hansen takes the Scots amendment
!
Also 2 man lightweight rowers only came fourth in semi today & out of final.4 man rowers made their final though.
I always find it weird hearing yer man Dempsey on Sky Sports saying "we" about Ireland.Sounds tad paranoid,but Craig Doyle on the Beeb is turning out to be an honorary'West Br*t',with all these'we' refs

He was interviewed one night months ago on Off The Ball on NewsTalk, think he said something about playing for UCD years ago.
Paul Dempsey is Irish

On the Craig Doyle subject - Delighted to see Craig Doyle doing so well for himself - RTE must be sickened to see him with the Beeb now, afterall they wouldn't give him a job!
I don't know why - would beat haven't to look at some of the ugly mugs they have on it!
I have found men who didn't know how to kiss.
I've always found time to teach them.
I know that, but it just sounds weird.
Sky Sports isn't an Irish station but the studio was all Irish last night.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
I think I'm confortable enough with my séxuality to say that I'd prefer to look at Doyler than Ryan TupperwareHead.
RTÉ have some gems in Marty Morrissey and Derek Davis
