Congrats to all the Irish
- Thread starter Rams
- Start date
Thanks Rams, will lift the spirits here in our Island Nation with Occupied forces holding forth in six counties to the North and where our economy is fecked and our housing industry at a standstill.
This Bronze medal will go some way to easing our pain
Jaysus Baz I thought it was an awful result. Sutherland had beaten your man five times out of six so he should have expected to win.
This Paddy Barnes bloke sure has a chip on his shoulder
did he win
Yeah a curry chip
Nah he got hammered 15-0
Lets hope Ken Egan can do the business!
Who beat beat him, I missed it?
Egan has just won. Beaten jefferies 11-4

Ass-whooping me thinks - you'll never beat the Irish........Egan has just won. Beaten jefferies 11-4
......unless you've got really good dope testing devices for use on animals
Get in
Nice one
Nice one
Who beat beat him, I missed it?
Beaten by a chinese guy who had longer reach and was lightning. Paddy had no answers
Paddy got Chinese Burned
He was pissed off though because he lost 15-0. In the first round, he caught the Chinese lad clearly with 3 shots, 3 good shots, get didn't get one point. The Chinese lad barely caught him and ended the round 2-0 up. I presume that's why Paddy was pissed off. He scored a few after that but never got the points for it.
He was well beaten in the end though the Chinese lad was brilliant. I've never seen anyone with hands that quick.
1 silver and 2 Bronze. Not bad. still medals at the end of the day.
Ireland finished 37th adjusted for population: http://c4news.com/livepages/olympics2008/c4/olympicsResults.html
Jaysus we even came behind Mongolia!
Kenny Egan was very unlucky not to beat that Chinese lad. The scoring was absolutely disgraceful.
