[eamonhonda]

[V for Vendetta]

What a fucking slowroll!

Time for some more luck of da Irish....

[Strewelpeter]

2/100ths FFS!

[The Situation]

I mean how agonising!

Super stuff from Cian though. Luck needed now

[Emmet]

What a fucking slowroll!

Time for some more luck of da Irish....

surely he's already got plenty!

2 fairly severe slices of luck to be involved!

(Wasn't in Olympic party originally, didn't qualify (properly) for final either!)

FUNKING the penalties everywhere now.

[eamonhonda]

So we are still in gold medal position for jump off ya?

[shano_88]

Ugh, That was sick

[The Situation]

That Swiss horse is amazing, clears everything by miles!

[Teddie]

There goes the gold chance.

[The Situation]

Hope Skelton crashes into the London bus!

I said more didn't I??

I'd take silver. We're not greedy like.

[Emmet]

more faults please

[Teddie]

Hope Skelton crashes into the London bus!

Fingers crossed...

[Dice75]

one of the last 2 to fault to have a medal jump off right?

[V for Vendetta]

It's a jump off!

[The Situation]

Right in a bronze jump off at the very least now

[Dice75]

Skelton to 4 fault to gtee us a medal

Edit -

[D3kka]

[Bubbleking]

Im neither happy or sad we missed out on the gold. I feel justice has been served I would like to see him get silver now though

[V for Vendetta]

Guaranteed bronze. Jump off for silver. Great stuff*.



*Drugs obv and we're all hypocrites....blah, blah, blah.

[The Situation]

Getting nervous!

Can't see 3 of the 6 going clear under this pressure tbh. Thought the Swiss os looked the most impressive in the opening round.

Should have backed that beast of a horse!

Ship the medal anyway.

[carlop]

Fucking Clare Balding, when O'Connor was going she was actually interviewing someone next to the track.

Now she's blaming people talking in the stands on Skelton not going clear!

[KevIRL]

Well done Cian. Fantastic stuff. Agonisngly close to a gold medal jump off though.

[eoghan104]

I hadn't realised until this Olympics what a detestable bitch Claire Balding is.

[V for Vendetta]

Well done Cian. Fantastic stuff. Agonisngly close to a gold medal jump off though.

Imagine the thought process from last night. Out of it and funking an injury chance. Sick stuff.

Years of not getting any will do that to a woman Eoghan. I hope you didnt leave any of the gamey aul wans wanting at the Galway races!!

Total free roll no pressure.

[KevIRL]

Up against it.

[Emmet]

Some ride from the opposition!

0.02 seconds, 2.5 inches.

Sport is painfully beautiful

[KevIRL]

Sigh, bit unlucky in the end, but really went for it. Fair dues, wasnt even on my list of Irish competitors for today and ends up with a bronze

[Denny Crane]

cian o connor knew absolutely nothing about the medication ( not Performance-enhancing drugs btw) and that is a fact

Just curious about this bit

edit: not accusing him of anything, but would be shocked if he didn't know about everything that was going into his horse.

[The Situation]

Epic sweat all the way!

[davepoke/her]

Would he of got silver if he didn't hit the last fence?

[KevIRL]

0.02 seconds, 2.5 inches.

sounds like a review from my Mrs tbh

[KevIRL]

comfortably

[Bubbleking]

0.02 seconds, 2.5 inches.

Sport is painfully beautiful

a margin that could be made up with a small dose of an illegal substance?

Fair play to him though an Olympic medal legitimate or not is more than I'll ever have

[V for Vendetta]

Instaclassic!

[ghostface]

Someone ban BK please

[hotspur]

[Emmet]

4 medals so far, Barnes tonight to aim to make it a nice round number?

[Strewelpeter]

Delighted for a really genuine guy who works harder than anyone at his sport and had had to put up with listening to gobshites like BK and RTE for the last 8 years.

So unlucky not to be jumping off got gold there.

[V for Vendetta]

The Brits outnumber us 15:1?? Per capita we could still beat them you know!

[KevIRL]

Melbourne (5) is our highest total ever. Barnes to equal that tonight hopefully.

Rob Heffernan and Andrzej Jezierski have outside hopes too, but nowhere near as outside a hope as Cian O Connor had this morning. Take inspiration from that you 2!

That plus having to sell your good horse to the Saudis and still beating them. He'll be around for years you'd have to imagine.

[Bubbleking]

Someone ban BK please

people said the same after;

I said AC_E was talking shit about his baby back in Novemeber 2 weeks after he broke the big news

I said Donegal play puke football that will destroy the game

Road cycling was corrupt with drugs

Robbie Keane was passed it and would contribute nothing in the WC

Probably more but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

pattern developing here - you can always just block me if you dont like the delivery of my opinions but they are more often than not carrying substance

Im sick of constantly being accused of trolling because my opinions arent in line with popular sensationalist bullshit that people like to read

[pgodkin]

Would he of got silver if he didn't hit the last fence?

his time over that last fence was two seconds quicker than the other, he really did put it up to him he had a much better ride than the other guy too his lines into some of the fences were just text book to say the least.

Some out of no where medal for Ireland..... doesnt matter what colour it is, i bet it will feel like gold to him!

WP

Now the boxing boys and girls all ship gold and we are sorted!!

I must say I loved Rob heffernans tweet re the guy who got thrown out on drugs from the 20k. He's a fighter and won't have anything left crossing the 50k line. Hopefully that's enough.

Barnes has a very tough fight tonight imo. Fingers and toes crossed.

Credit where it's due you called a lot of things right, and you've reduced your more outrageous trolling efforts. But don't be complaining when you get stick either. You deserve a good chunk of it!

Conveniently leaving out your ROG>Johnnie tirades there...!

[Strewelpeter]

watching the showjumping here,

how difficult is something like that and how much is down the rider and how much down to the horse?

is it mostly mares used?

More geldings and stallions than mares.
Horses are more important but it is all about the long term work they do together and the relationship they build.

ben roethlisberger was as good as Manning, Brady or Brees was my personal favourite troll.

Well played Cian and the first to hold the medal in his hand for Ireland this Olympics. Guy who was pushed off the team must be conflicted now. Celebrate for Irish horsie people or give out cause that guy nicked my spot.

Fair enough were right a lot and i agree with a lot of what you say, but ya have to be prepared to get a bit of stick when ya go against the masses and say controversial stuff against an Irshman bringing home a medal!

I never accused you of trolling on this occasion, I think road cycling is corrupt with drugs in the popular stance.

I can't put you on ignore again as you Robbie Keane rants have petered out and its NFL time. Eagles Steelers 1st game sure

[FeetMagic]

Sigh BK...
