I''ve always though the Horse would enjoy hockey, it would suit his not being able to score from outside the area game.

but whats this over ankle height rule they seem to be playing, what's the point in having goals that tall if its a foul evertime the ball leaves the deck?


i want to see 30 yard screamers in the top corner

I hope new xealand win the shootout, they have the more attractive players

Does anyone know if Australia beat India in the gold medal match?

 

[Dydl]

Yes, they did.

Short article on it here.

 

[cameeel]

Thanks Dydl.

Anyone see the boxing, both Aussies dominated to take the gold, very one sided in the heavyweight especially.

I turned it on as Brad Pitt () was being awarded his medal. I'd watched a few rounds of the boxing and I actually quite enjoyed it, which is odd cause I didn't think I would've.

I'm not sure what the ruling, because the only goal in the final went in the top corner.

It's if its a dangerous lift.

Hmm, Nick McCormick pushes fellow Englishman Andrew Baddeley into Craig Mottram. Good one, ****.

Oh, I didn't see too much wrong with the result...

I reckon Willis would have had his measure anyway. But we'll never know.

As expected, Australia will play NZ in the netball final. Aus beat England 52-40 in the semi-final.

If there's a short-corner, the ball must hit the backboard. Benchy is also right - in open play it can be disallowed if it's seen to be dangerous ie. skimming past the defender's ear or something.

Well, ur never going to!

Not sure why they bothered with all of the preliminary rounds to be honest.

True, everyone knew it'd be aus v nz, although we got a scare when Jamaica drew with us

 

[Beleg]

How shameful is the fact that a country of Pakistan's size hasn't won a single frickin' medal in the games so far?

You sound like almost as poor a loser as this guy:

Willis beat him when they last raced each other before the Olympics and has a faster personal best. Why exactly was Mottram supposed to beat him?
