mens 4x100 GB

Steve Cram not blaming Gemili

He started his run before the Jamaican miles ahead of him ffs

Gemili looked at fault to me.

He knows it aswell.

I layed GB to finish in top 3 at 1.26. Does DQ count? He finished 2nd.

And waving his arm about like a windmill.

Watch the replay. He's off before the Jamaican in lane 5

WHAT ARE THE RULES ON DQ

fecked it

Defies belief how hard it seems to be to get a bloody baton round, idiots

If you're a Brit you get disq, in one way or another

you're fecked if you backed them is the only rule you need

Still, they are proud so that's OK.

clown wanted over 6000 at 1.03 that beggars belief,blatantly outside the box.

he ran out of his lane too just for good measure

BF have paid out laying GB to finish in top 3. Luckily

obviously,they were disqualified

Can't believe Chambers is saying how proud he is of the lads.  There is zero to be proud of there by not doing the most basic of skills correctly.  What else do they have to practice for in the relay apart from getting the changeovers spot on?  Funny how Jamaica never **** it up

upthebum there is nothing lucky about that.  A dq is a dq and that was as blatant a one as you could see. He also ran out of his lane.

How many times has this happened now with GB 4x100m lads? 

Must be at least 10 in my lifetime.

Thank **** Health and Safety put a stop to the egg and spoon race.

Understood, but they also have the ability to chop and change their T&C's on occasion. Which I've found out before to my detriment.

Laying them at 1.26 was a steal IMO given their history and inexperience.

who is coaching the sprint relay squad?

our Women are even worse. Girl ran outside her lane in a qualifier

@ European champs

ironically about the only time they've ever got it right they ended up winning it cos the americans fecked up a change over

who is coaching the sprint relay squad?

stevie wonder

Without looking it up do you guys remember who ran first leg for GB in '84 Olympics  4x100m ?

Cameron Sharp ?

Nope

Elliot Bunny ?

Just been looking up the rollcall of GB shame in the 4x100 metres relay

1996, 2000, 2008, 2012  all disqualifications or did not finish

2004 Gold when the Yanks messed up on last handover

Nope

Mike McFarlane?

Nope

Lincoln Asquith ?

It was a bloke who was better known for another event

Ainsley Bennett ?

Daley Thompson!

WE HAVE A WINNER !!!


Francis Edward Thompson

Geoff 'Budgie' Capes ?

The Edward bit is made up btw

Surely Daley could have run all four legs in different styles ?

I'm still trying to get Capes to come to our annual village fete.  There's nothing we'd like better than to see the Great Man tear a Shetland Pony in two with his bare hands while the blood simple crowd scream 'CAPES ! CAPES ! CAPES !

One day I'll up the offer from 5 shillings to around 7/6.

Lads, I missed the Jo Pavey race. How far did Pavey win by?  World Record???

British relay teams now have a 100% failure rate in championship sprint relays this year.

At the Europeans in Helsinki, the men did not finish and the women were disqualified;
at the World Juniors, the men were disqualified and the women didn't finish,
and at the Olympics, the men have now been disqualified. The women didn't qualify after being disqualified at the Europeans.
Someone needs to be sacked or resign surely

Ha Ha - but I'm sure Capes could run the 100m in about 12 seconds.

Pavey and Bleasdale finished an excellent 7th and 8th respectively.

thx YT

Jonathan 'Sunday' Edwards has just said "Steve Lewis has bought his breast form" to the pole vault.

Amused me...

If ONLY the programme planners had moved Songs of Praise to a Wednesday midweek slot, then none of this horror might have happened.

I seem to remember that when Capes was in his prime Dewhurst the butcher gave him free meat ;as much as he wanted
