Slacker Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Sorry AG I don't but if you didn't hear it he basically said he would support Scotland over England in football but England over other nations.Also said his girlfriend and coaches/ support team are all English.Cant remember if he said he lives in England now.Basically blamed media for misquoting him and stirring things up.As if our beloved press would do such a thing!

_Bristol-City_ Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Make that 14. What is it with all these kids on here , haven't got a scooby !!! In fairness I was mistaken, I thought we were aiming for 15 in the pool events! I probably know an awful lot more than you about sport in general, no doubt you're a lazy sit at home bloke. You post absolute bollocks too mate, my 12 year old cousin grasps football better than you. 'not a clue', I'm fairly good at cludo too! Thanks for your interest in my knowledge though.

My first line clears me of looking like a tit. Could have picked a number of posts aimed at me couldn't I? Just found it funny and rather hypocritical as one of the most clueless people on here in my opinion called me clueless! Have a terrific birthday tomorrow.

citywest30 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 British cycling is just amazing, complete dominance and could have been even better if Pendleton and the other girl didn't get relegated in the team sprint. If Team GB's cyclists were a country, they'd be 8th in the overall medal table. I take my hat off to them. Our country should be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant say I'm a huge cycling fan but you have to say the coach , Brailsford is it? , has to be up for coach of the year after the Olympic showing and that of team Sky at the TDF.

citywest30 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Tins - Yeah unless they change the rules again like they did after Beijing to even it out!

citywest30 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Glyn, think cycling will clean sweep sports personality - individual will be wiggo, team could be team sky and as you say brailsford for coach.

In that respect he has let them down. They didn't know where he was, they didn't know what the injury was, he didn't go on the Olympic training camp.

Could do, but the first British winner of tdf and Olympic gold, and most British medals at the Olympics, Ennis has a long way to go to beat that. Not saying she won't, but she will do well to knock him from the perch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren't you knocking the female athlete who has had an injury for 10 weeks and didn't tell UKA? Really? He has his own coach. He is representing GB, not Phillips, again, let his GB team down, it is them that pick him for the event. Maybe they wish they hadn't now. He has let them down. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/video/2012/aug/01/phillips-idowu-gb-van-commenee-athletics-video Because I wasn't aware of her.

Tins Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Really? http://www.guardian....athletics-video Because I wasn't aware of her. Listen to his interview with 5live. He says how he is self funded and is outside the UKA system. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00x1rvj Listen to Darren Campbell afterwards, he is very annoyed with the criticism.
