It must be said, the Brits have made a great job of this. The 'main' Olympics (for want of a better word) is an easy sell. This is a different story, and still they sell out. Kudos to them!
What? The cheek. Somebody who wraps the tri-colour around them and calls their neck of the woods the north of Ireland is going to repersent GB by choice, I don't think so. Silly, stupid question.Originally Posted by Dub01
i have not caught any of the games but perhaps someone could answer a question
what kind of medal count are developing nations returning in comparison to the games which were held in july and early august ?
Caught it too. It really was a unnecessary question. The likely answer is that he always felt more Irish than British, but being on Channel 4 he obviously had to give a cautious answer.
I didn't see it. Just read on the previous page about it. Out of curiousitg what was the reply?
More of an uncomfortable laugh, followed by briefly saying about how Ireland first approached him as a teenager.
He`s a clever lad. Just said that he wasn`t political, and that Ireland offered to look after him while the British showed no interest.
Pretty ignorant question to be asking an Irishman though.
More medal prospects in the swimming later on this evening. James Scully and Darragh McDonald both qualified for the Mens 100m Freestyle S5 and S6 finals respectively.
McDonald up first at 5.44, with Scully then up at 6.27.
