2012 Olympics

Saw Spain vs Morroco yesterday, Mata, De Gea and Jordi Alba all played. Spain missed a hat full of chances though Morroco's number 9 looked handy. Thought the security measures and searches at old trafford were a bit over the top, worse than an airport, though I expect its going on at all the venues?

2 more Golds. Canoe slalom and shooting.

"

World record holder Wilson said his gold in the double trap "meant a huge amount".

He added: "It was really difficult to put it into words. You watch these guys talking afterwards when they win medals and saying it is hard to put it into words - and it really is."

Wish I had had today off as well to watch it

We had to empty pockets and were given full body search but passed through quickly, then again I didnt take a bag after hearing about delays from people who brought them.

That is airport security these days!

When I was on the park back in May it was 'belts and shoes off' jobbie, but that was well away from the stadium. They can't be doing that at the football stadiums surely?

Very interesting the media are not saying the 15yo american girl(ledeckey) who beat adlington tonight isnt on drugs where they claimed the chinese 15yo girl(ye shiwen) could be cheating.

Panem et circenses. Seems to be working perfectly. Flooding mainstream media.

Got to say, what a brilliant night of Athletics

Having been inside the stadium for the 100m hurdles and high jump, I'm claiming 2/7ths of Jess' gold medal.

Astonishing day, rowing, cycling, and then track and field - incredible !

Fantastic night of athletics. Ennis and Farah are definitely amongst the greatest British athletes of all time. Rutherford may not be remembered in the same way, but in a relatively weak field there were several jumpers who could have won and he was the one who pulled it out when it mattered.

[lharris92]

huge day, and 2 more guaranteed silver medals tomorrow! could be massive considering russia haven't won many golds so far.

[rexclark]

This has been excellent viewing so far. Great seein Great Britain doing so well.

Have read quite a bit of critisism about Laura Robson today which I think is unfair. She didnt play well today but why not focus on the positives in terms of her performances to get there playing against some tough teams. If she looked a little out of her depth today then its not surprising considering she played in a match with the mens singles world number 4, womans single number 1 and mens double number 1. I personally think she is going to become a fantastic player.

And she is only 18

Bolt showed what a true champion he is and in general the rest did as well as could be expected. The night only slightly tarnished by a medal for the scumbag gatlin and John Inverdale being as idiotic as always.

And the idiot throwing a bottle towards the start line that I noticed on a reply.

Really wanted Gaye to get 3rd. That race had the 4 fastest men that have ever lived all in it and it was looking so close until Bolt found that gear that only he has it was a fascinating 10 seconds.

on BBC Breakfast this morning, Sian interviewed Jeremy c**t......

Sian: so are you going to see any of the Olympics today?

c**t: yes, I'm going to see <this>, and then <that>, and then <something else>, and after that I'll be seeing <something else again>.

Sian: oh, you did very well in the ticket ballot didn't you?

[eFestivals]

What did he say ?

he tried to laugh it off, and succeeded in looking as stupid as he is.

Paul McCartney got lucky in the ballot too...

at least when he gets tickets GB win medals. When Dave Moron gets tickets, GB fucks up.

Fucking up GB is a bit of a theme for Dave Moron.
