Bad start by Murphy - this will not be a one horse affair


Edit: Despite which she rounds the first mark in first!

[sligoboi]

Just saw the tweet that the chap was arrested for after 'abusing' Tom Daley on twitter. 'you let down your dad' or along those lines, laughable to arrest someone for that

Is that the Riley69 fella? Read through some of his timeline last night..He's a professional troll and if that's all he said I'd be very surprised.

Thank God for BBC red Button. Only got Sky+ in just before the olympics, paid off today, RTE showing fkn Showjumping all morn as far as I could see, GTFO.

(Although the Constant "Live, we've got it covered , Live" ads are quite tilting

he also threatened to drown him and shoot and hang other people, amongst other things.

Think it went a little beyond that into what 80 year old judges are liable to interpret as 'death threats'.

Later another tweet to Daley read: "i'm going to find you and i'm going to drown you in the pool you cocky twat your a nobody people like you make me sick".

Tweets to other users who criticised his earlier message were spiked with profanity. One read: "i dont give a shit bruv i'm gonna drown him and i'm gonna shoot you he failed why you suporting him you cunt" and another, to a different Twitter user, read: "do you want me to come to your fucking house now with a rope and strangle you with it".

Sigh, on UPC crappy box - flicking between RTE2/BBC1/BBC3 & Eurosport for Olympics added to C4 for Goodwood & soon RTE1 for Galway. Missing everything.

Leading at first mark, thats the sort of bad start we can live with

I was in a row with UPC a month or two ago and was losing against them then just on the day I was organising Sky I got a call from Upc giving me the €350 credit I wanted from them.
Would have been better off losing that battle

BTW I was talking to a lad in the satellite and aerial business the other day and he reckons that UPC will abandon the MMDS system within the next two years so there will be no choice except Sky.

[KevIRL]

And leading at the second mark.

2nd place in the overall standings, The Belgian is well down the field in this one

Lol. did he also buy a load of supplies and an air raid shelter for Y2K?

[40something]

Leading at first mark, thats the sort of bad start we can live with

And more importantly the Belgian ho is stuck way down the fleet

[DeadParrot]

Going by Music King it'd probably be the best thing for most music collections here.

Chloe Magee 11-10 up at the first break

[40something]

This girl is obliterating the fleet, I'm thinking this could be unprecedented in Olympic sailing terms

[sligoboi]

From Twitter

Slight technical hitch with big screen in media centre. Currently showing BabeStation2. Volunteers scramble

[Dice75]

Chloe Magee 11-10 up at the first break

How many points in a set, how many sets?

[V for Vendetta]

Get in Magee!!

[DeadParrot]

Having given it a few days, I'm pretty underwhelmed by the Olympics. There's a reason most of these sports are only on our screens every 4 years, and for what ever reason I really can't get excited about our prospects of winning a medal in sailing or whatever else. I'm kind of surprised, I thought I'd enjoy it all a lot more. I guess it's down to having absolutely no emotional investment in any person or event that's been on so far.

To be honest, I seem to enjoy the olympics much more when it is on a stupid o clock in the morning.
Nothing like berating people at the pinnacle of physical perfection while you eat a kebab.

Chloe Magee wins the first game in the badminton

Murphy first after 3rd mark

[KevIRL]

How many points in a set, how many sets?

21. first of 3.

Magee 1 set up

[NewApproach]

Get in Magee!!

That's what she said

[KevIRL]

'Belgian Ho' moving through the field in the sailing. Now in 11th

[Dice75]

21. first of 3.

Magee 1 set up

That French one could be part of an Asian betting scam the way she's giving away points....

[DeadParrot]

That's ridiculous

[KevIRL]

Great round again from Joseph Murphy in the show jumping

[Raoul Duke III]

If Magee's opponent mounts a comeback from here, will she be Ha Pi?

[KevIRL]

Murphy 21 secs ahead after 4th mark

[ghostface]

GTFO

[Micknail]

Murphy 21 secs ahead after 4th mark

If she was Chinese, Sp would be defending her against accusations of drug use!

[Strewelpeter]

It must be extra difficult to lead all the way in the sailing, I assume the ideal line is not always apparent.

[KevIRL]

Murphy 33 secs ahead after 5th mark

[Strewelpeter]

That's ridiculous

Why, if they are losing their stones on it why would they keep it up?
I know they use MMDS feeds for some isolated cable systems but its probably going to be an awful lot cheaper to put in a head end for each one of them rather than maintaining a huge network that is costing a fortune to run.

[Zod]

who said they are losing their stones?

[Raoul Duke III]

GTFO

Better than being Kra Pi imo

Here's a link to the first article I've written for the website. I thought that it would be nice to give a good sending off to a very decent man. A lot of pieces are cynical for the sake of attention, so hopefully this piece is well received.

Any criticism is very welcome;

7 riders to go and Clarke still in front....

[V for Vendetta]

Jesus Magee think of my heart.

[Teddie]

Down to 3rd now.

[40something]

Murphy could drop her sails, swim the boat to the finish line and still win this one

[Guest]

I will jump on any bandwagon, but not showjumping. Just leaves me absolutely cold.

[Strewelpeter]

who said they are losing their stones?

He was getting it from inside UPC Ireland, its a huge infrastructure and at a guess I'd say they have lost at least half of their original captive audience to sky and the number is probably dwindling away all the time.

You know that I'm talking about the rural MMDS service here and not any cable systems. Seems fairly obvious to me that they would want to be rid of it.

[KevIRL]

Down to 3rd now.

Ya 3rd with 4 riders left. cloe but no cigar it would appear

[KevIRL]

Murphy wins the 4th race. Pretty amazing stuff I imagine

I'm lying on the couch having a joint and can of red bull for breakfast while mocking the archers for their poor hand eye coordination.

I'm a beast at archery on the PS3 Olympics game so I have an idea what I'm talking about tbf. And for anyone that hasn't played the game it's great craic playing it with 3 mates. The 100meters is some laugh.

[Strewelpeter]

That's some performance, so far she's not been in front at two only markers in the four legs

English girl has two seconds now.

1.2 matched for Gold on betfair English girl 8.2 with 20 bid.

[Raoul Duke III]

Jesus Magee think of my heart.

Crumbling now

Pity, she seemed to be the better player to my untrained eye

[DAMO72]

She seemed to be a bit more consistent but Pi had the gears when it mattered. A good effort.

Hilarious that Scott Evans is allegedly the most watched Irish sportsperson playing a sporting event. I wonder can we think of anyone who may have beat him??

Scott Evans is a very talented hockey player too.

Another gold for China in the diving. Filthy drug cheats.

The Olympics have massive Worldwide viewing figures so it could be right.
