Fuck me, the BBC are at it again.
Why the fuck are we suffering prime coverage of Paddy womans boxing?
Pre fight comments from Dara O brien And Ed Byrne........Why? Foreign country!
Made me want the Russian to kick her Arse.....as it was it was closer than predicted and an impressive storming third round won it for her.
Let's hope she doesn't fail a drug test in a years time like that Ginger swimmer that was the toast of the country for a while.
Do the paddys chip in for the liscence fee?

Tis a BIG thing over here.
Not quite as big as Kerry v Cork in the GAA football.
The fella painting my house disappeared to watch the fight.
Hope he comes back sometime in the next month

There's loads of irish TV licence payers in the uk. I wanted to see it too and I'm sure the majority of viewers did

Well done to the Irish boxer. And who cares if the BBC focus a little attention on her. The close ties we have with Eire make them anything but just another foreign country.
Build bridges, spread the love. Peace.

To be fair apart from the boxer they haven't really talked about Ireland or focussed on their athletes at all.

It'll be interesting to see how Scotland go as an independent country...prob 2020 Olympics. There have been some significant Scottish performers in the GB team, but will they be able to fund the coaching etc, at a level beyond say Ireland. |

I've been thinking that this Olympics has been a great thing for the Union.... |

There was some good focus on the show jumper that fucked it up. |

Do honestly think so, Reg? How many non-English medal winners have you seen sing along with the National Anthem when on the podium? And isn't it about time England had its own anthem instead of God Save The Queen? |
