Re: London 2012 official OLYMPICS discussion thread
Anyone hear Paul Kimmage on Newstalk re.the road race? Absolutely scathing about the Irish lads, hugely critical of the Germans and Aussies and full of praise for GB - said their effort, team work and selflessness was outstanding Always had a lot of time for Kimmage. As much as I respect Kimmage th...

I think this is going to be a love it or hate it situation. I love it but I get it. A lot wouldn't. Having said that, so what? This is a very British opening cermony and fair dues.

Re: Irish cricket bandwaggon
I would also add that the Irish players 'poached' to date have all been capped for Ireland multiple times befrore coming to the attention of the English counties, so saying they are choosing to be English is more than crass.

If they're allowing their international game be a laughing stock then as is then why not allow associates hitch up with a test team but continue for their associate at one day or 20/20?

Great to see them qualify - apart from one slip up, early on, against Namibia, and a fright against Italy, they cruised through.
