TheKingObv 10,594 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I haven't read any of those. I would say the odds on favourite finishing outside the top 20 was gash. I would say the boys fucking up their bread and butter dive was gash.Certainly wasn't their "bread and butter" dive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek1872 548 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Cavendish wasn't gash and the divers were never expected to win gold. Too many people believe everything that is printed in The Sun and The Mirror.If you haven't been taking your lead from the populist press then your failure to understand the vagaries of both sports must be the root cause.The end result is the same.You are obviously clueless about cycling. Didn't see the diving so can't comment. I know the individual dives are still to come though.Certainly wasn't their "bread and butter" dive.In all fairness mens synchronised diving and the cycling isn't my most knowlegable sports. Fair play to those of you who have top knowledge of them Maybe Im wrong I just listen to what was said on the TV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek1872 548 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Really? Which ex-professional cyclist said that Cavendish was gash, or indeed laid ANY blame at his door for where he finished in the RR?It was the team that said they got the tactics badly wrong. I watched it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It was the team that said they got the tactics badly wrong. I watched it.The negativity of the other teams was certainly a factor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gers1690 194 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 11 so far... Ennis later on that will be 12 hopefullyAndy Murray should get at least 1 gold that will be 13Tom Daley in diving; one in equestrian which should be 15probably 2 more in sailing that should be 17Team GB in football and one in Hockey as well and that would be 19 I think we will get at least 19 - I'll just be happy as long as we finish above France; Germany and Australia and I'd be thrilled if we finish above Russia.
