That's five medals coming home to Northern Ireland Lovely seeing Ireland on the shirt, the tricolour as the flag, and Amhráin na bhFiann as the national anthem. See how good we are together. I was thinking that since your contribution has been a drugs cheat and a freak female boxer it would be bett...

I'm not arguing that point with you. :roll: Are you really saying that a ban for a non performance enhancing drug administered in error and acknowledged as such by the authorities is as bad as a cyclist intentionally doping to gain an advantage? Whether something is intentionally ingested or accide...

We've only 3? I know Barnes is still to come but not counting chickens and all that... Thats true, but Barnes was v good in his last 16 so fingers crossed. 4 out of 6 to medal would be fantastic. Even if it is 3/6, that is still great too. Never know with Rob Heffernan or Olivia Loughnanne in the w...

Can't see John Joe winning the semi final. Those Cubans are brilliant fighters JJ needs to call him out. The Nevins have a reputation as pretty decent scrappers too. My wife was told they plan to close the pubs in Mullingar if he wins- by jaysus they hate that family down there. This is true. The N...

Harsh decision imo. I don't think the points difference was that large. I thought he had the lead in the 1st round, it was even in the second and the Irish got the lead in the last one. His first round should have made the difference in his favour imo but that's just my 2 cents. For the record, the...

Conlan has been hyped for good reason. He is a very classy boxer.

Unless the parameters for world class athletes has extended beyond all recognition I can say with some clarity that she isn't one of them... That said she's worthy of a few quid.. So top 15 doesn't make you world class? Does that mean that Cian Healy, Sean O'Brien or Rob Kearney, none of whom would...

Was it themaddog that was telling us that anybody who criticises O'Rourke hasn't a clue? The point always was wasting money on somebody who was never going beyond a semi and is in the twilight of their career is a bit thick. It was and as ever the muppets come out of the woodwork every four years. ...

Thought Lacey was very impressive again, he is some footballer. McFadden does some job in the lone role up front. Will be interesting to see how Donegal's defence stands up to Cork trying to run through them. Might not be the prettiest of games but imagine it will be very very close. Don't fancy Do...

It would be interesting to see a team come up against Donegal and say "Right, two can play that game"! Would be the worst game of football ever mind, bad enough when one team does it. It happened last year. Dublin v Donegal Donegal got all the criticism but Dublin were every bit as negative. They l...

Also I have only heard dads view of the game and seen the crap highlights on the Sunday game so if some of the impartial posters on here could give me some decent insight into who played well and the like that too would be appreciated.

Fionnuala Britton in 5k is on at the moment...4 laps to go and she's making a bit of a move Totally outclassed. ........ She ran a PB. You can't really ask for much more than that.

Boxers, sailors, equestrian, rowers, kayakers, cycling, shooters. There are lots of sports, that we do anyway, where a small investment, would yield a relatively large medal count.

He is a quality fighter, may even be the best prospect we have had in years.

That was some fight. Jonas is a very decent fighter but Katie's hand speed and combinations are pure class. She's a lovely person and a great role model. Two more fights and hopefully she will fulfil her destiny.
