First topic message reminder :

Yesterday our showjumpers were golden. Also, King Kenny ruled the track. Now it's over to Sir Chris, Princess Laura and can Queen Victoria have a victorious curtain call on her cycling career?

Also, brothers Brownlee go for Triathlon glory and our Dressage team are in action, going for Gold!

If all goes right, today's the day we beat Beijing and do the 20.

Dave.

Eire / Thom

Regarding the other thread and AWOP's rantings, can you confirm that I have my facts straight:

1 - All residents of Northern Ireland can have automatic citizenship of the Republic (is this only for those born there, or does it apply for all permanent residents?)

2 - As such, all NI sportsmen are at least theoretically eligible to represent GB or RoI

3 - In some cases (boxing I believe being one), the adminstration of the sport is All Ireland, so by default NI boxers wourld represent RoI unless they specifically moved to the mainland (I assume this is because historically boxing in NI has been predominantly a Catholic sport).

Am I somewhere near correct?

Men's 4 x 100 we probably haven't the pure speed, but there's always the chance of someone else (USA particularly) dropping the batten and opening up one of the medal slots (can't see anyone competing with them and Jamaica as the fastest two teams).

Would love to see Okoye pick up a medal (in with a shot at Bronze I think), seems a really nice lad and good role-model/example for sport (Nigerian immigrant parents, went on to be a v good rugby player before switching to athletics, Oxbride educated [I think]).

Yep more or less spot on Dummy, NI citizens can have GB/ROI or dual citizenship. NI sportspeople can represent GB or Ireland as a result (bar soccer, nearly every Irish sporting organsiation covers the island)

We compete as Ireland at the games, not ROI, the main reason Irish boxers compete for Ireland be they from North or South is as it's an All-Ireland organisation, little else to do with it besides that, there's some religion involved but not a lot.

Cheers Thom - makes sense. I know that there's quite a mixed up history, with people like Mary Peters having represented GB and other NI athletes / sportsmen (racing drivers John Watson and Eddie Irvine being two I can recall off the top of my head) competing under the Irish flag.

Of course it can get even more confused in the modern world - Ireland's two best road cyclists are cousins, yet one (Dan Martin) was born in Birmingham and competed as a junior for GB while the other (Nic Roche) has switched allegience (two or three times iirc) between France (country of birth and mother's nationality) and Ireland (obviously the nationality of his father Stephen Roche).

Sorry for the digression.

Roche is dual nationality, but I think most seem him as Irish Wink You will find a few Irish people will cheer on NI athletes regardless of who they compete for and that's great, shows how far we've come and everything. We seem to also be more inclined to cheer on our neighbours now, we might have finally gotten over the history! No one can hold a grudge like the Irish. If you'll excuse me I have to look for a Tom Nolan in the phonebook, basterd stole my lunchbox when I was ten, will sort him out now.....

Nic Roche is one of those rare breeds of Irish bloke who speaks English as a second language.

He's certainly more French than he is Irish, but Ireland gave him a better opportunity for development in cycling.

Not saying he's not Irish, there are far worse 'plastics' than he is. To be fair he can't really be described as a 'plastic'.

He was schooled in a French School in Dublin so that might have something to do with it. Both have a legitimate claim to him but he is really Irish at heart. Whistle

His non attendance may be odd, but we cannot forget he is a former World Champion for Britain (Idowu), before we start throwing fire at him. I reckon after he's had surgery he'll be medalling again at the Worlds, just as lucrative as the Olympics. Wink

I think when you are watching a Sport you should be able to ascertain whether someone is doing well or not......with Dressage, i haven't a clue. A bit like the Gymnastics and Diving.............not a clue really how someone is doing except when they make a complets hames of it..........

Reckon that little battle was settled days ago when it became apparent that GB was going to dominate both cycling and rowing.

Australians have had a rough run so far , though it is going to get a bit better with two gold now guaranteed at the sailing and two more very probable over the next few days. Plus Sally Pearson later today. Really hope all goes well for her.

Second going into the time trial, 1 point split. What happens if the TT is a Trott-Hammer 1-2?

They'll be joint on points right? How's the gold medal decided?

EDIT: site hadn't updated quick enough. 2 points behind, can't see her taking Gold as surely a Trott-Hammer 1-2 is the best she can hope for, which hands gold to the Yank?

Well very tight in the Omnium ...Trott two points behind Hammer with the TT to come .
Trott will probably win the TT , so if Hammer were to be third or worse it would be Gold for Laura.
Of course you can't be sure in advance , but at the World champs the TT went to Trott , with Hammer fourth...

Like that pric Alain Rollande?? boxing

Rolland is the finest rugby referee out there IMO............

He's fine as long as he isn't reffing England, particularly as he keeps getting our matches against Ireland or France which is a disgrace.

He CANT referee an Ireland match, he's Irish.........he referees France alright, not sure what his French connection is apart from the name and the fact that he can speak French...........he's a better referee than Roman Poite!!
