I blame the horses myself, whether the doping is intentional or non intentional.

Maybe our showjumbers should give some of our Friesens or Herefords a go in London 2012. Check out Lumville Danois 2 for instance who won best cow in show at the Virginia Show yesterday. Manages to squeeze out 11,000 litres of Bainne per annum. Yes, thats 11 Tons of milk and not a sign of any performance enhancing pharmaceuticals.

Bad defeat for sutherland this morning, but he's still got a medal so well done lad! Hopefully the other two lads later on can do better but barnes has an awful hard fight by all accounts, so egan is our best chance of something better.

Didn't get to see it but I know the score.... but what way did the Sutherland fight go? Did he go chasing the game too early?

Now I may have a reputation on this website for what I about to post but I think most who watched the Paddy Barnes' fight will agree with me.

The scoring was basically a joke. The Chinese lad won on a scoreline of 15-0. But I seen four or five perfect punches from the Irishman and yet none of them scored and I was only half looking at the telly. The best man won, obviously, but the finalscore pays a serious lack of justice to Paddy Barnes. To say he never caught his opponent with a punch is ludricous but that is what the result suggests.

The judges are plainly influenced by the crowd. A new system needs to be brought for occasions like this to make sure all boxers are treated fairly in respect of the scoring. I do not have any suggestions myself but there needs to be a change.

I hope a similiar fate does not behold Kenny Egan either as both Barnes and Sutherland have been the subject of some dodgy decisions.

Spin off from Cavan_slashers Knickname thread
Didn't want to dirty the main board with a soccer knickname so decided to stick it in here!

One quite funny one was from Jason McAteer who was playing for Man City or some outfit at the time. This guy Msampa joined them and they knicknamed him "Chris" to make "Chris Msampa".

Well it sounded good done in the Liverpool accent anyway or maybe I've been drinking too much peroxide again...

Totally agree Loyal. As NSG would tell ya no man from Belfast ever had an eight minute fight where he didn't land a punch!

Well done Ken Egan. The Dubs have somthing to cheer,going for gold. Congrats to sutherland and Barnes also,you have done us proud.

Didn't see the fight but judging by the reactions of many(including yourself loyal), and the fact that barnes is a much better boxer than that scoreline would suggest, it does seem the chinese boxer got a bit of home support from the judges. Will look forward to seeing it tonight and then make my own judgement on it, but barnes was livid after the fight, saying he was getting drug-tested and the judges should too!

On a positive note kenny egan is just after hammering jeffries in his semi-final to secure at least a silver, and judging by his performances so far he may well be dissapointed with anything other than the gold. Get in there kenny, you've done us proud!
