The American was also hindered at the start of the home straight, and still won

no Josh...
you didn't say you wanted it today... you said you'd get it today... you rammed it down our throat... bad luck. |
By:
cos he finished close in the semi..
|
By:
pundits sucking up to Kerr instead of putting the boot in...
as expected. |
By:
you got your place so you picked the right one.
|
By:
you seem rather upset HH - is Kerr a Hearts supporter?
|
By:
Well done to Josh, a terrific effort to get the silver.
|
By:
Yeh,not many of them about.
|
By:
think he supports LA Galaxy tbh dave.

By:
yavi looks like she could do another circuit - handicapper should be asked questions.

Alf the hare for Thomas nab last 50 wd rico..f/c landed |
By:
Class from Thomas. Dispatched of them.
|
By:
Over when they staightened up.
|
By:
In a canter.
|
By:
Thomas did win in a canter. Not sure what Alfred was doing. You would expect a 100 metres winner to lead that out. It was as if she knew she hadn't got anything left, and just ran to finish second.
|
By:
Nothing to do with Alfred,the best 200M rnr won the race.
|
By:
Thomas might run in 400 Relay
|
By:
penzance,
Besides stating the blindingly obvious what point are you trying to make? |
By:
Kerr what an admirable young man he is.....Makes me proud to be Scottish.
|
By:
Strange one but anyone else think there is a track bias. I know they get seeded but lanes 1,2 and 3 seem to be miles behind in the 400m and 400m hurdles
|
By:
Over watered one side of the track? Has this ever happened before?!
|
By:
Obviously you’re running less straight so massive disadvantage.
Michael Johnson reckons mid lanes best |
By:
Hibby, why does Sky Brown represent us? Born in Japan, lives in Japan and California.
And tomorrow a 51 year old Yank representing us. This is where our lottery funding is going. Mugs. |

Great reult for the Irish lass in the Boxing GOLD !!
|
By:
She's good. Wonder why she never gave it a go on the pro side.

By:
the whole thing is pretty farcical swifty...
how many English cricketers were really South African ? Scottish footballers who have a Scottish granny so they qualify to play for Scotland... it's not really something that bothers me too much coz it's open house for everyone but it is pretty farcical imv... and i'm not really a fan of all this 'representing Great Britain' thing... these folk are doing it for themselves... the GB part sounds good and it gets them lots of fans... but they don't fool me... i heard Josh Kerr saying he did it for his team... aye sure you did Josh. |

Tony Cascarino
|
By:
Declan Rice England / Ireland you choose….ffs
|
By:
the Irish have had a fair few right enough second again...
Ray Houghton ? John Aldridge ? |
By:
Ray wanted to play for Scotland when he had the offer from Ireland, he spoke to Andy Roxburgh and was told that Scotland had a few midfielders in front of him at the time. So he decided to play for Ireland and it worked out well for him.
Am I right in thinking that Tony Cascarino had no connection to Ireland and nobody checked to see if he was eligible? |

Cascarino's Irish citizenship controversy
In October 2000, Cascarino was the subject of national newspaper headlines when extracts from his upcoming autobiography were published in the Sunday Mirror.[24] In it, he revealed that his mother told him in 1996 that she was adopted and therefore wasn't a blood relative to his Irish grandfather. Cascarino said in his autobiography: "I didn't qualify for Ireland. I was a fraud. A fake Irishman". The FAI's Chief Executive Bernard O'Byrne stated that he was shocked by the announcement and Cascarino's former international manager Jack Charlton questioned why he came forward with the information. Cascarino revealed that Republic of Ireland teammate Andy Townsend had advised him to keep quiet about the situation.[24] Four days after the newspaper exclusive, in November 2000, the Football Association of Ireland issued a short statement: "The FAI are satisfied that Tony Cascarino was always eligible to become a citizen of the Republic of Ireland and was, therefore, always eligible to play for Ireland."[25] The Irish Independent reported that Cascarino was given a 'passport of restricted validity' in 1985 and that his mother's name, Theresa O'Malley, was in fact entered in the Foreign Births Register in the Department of Foreign Affairs prior to Cascarino's international debut for the Republic of Ireland |
