David Weir is pretty incredible.

1500m Gold to go with the 5000m

[Kenneth]

he looks a lot more mobile now than he did at Everton.

[Chazza]

But a bit less of a threat at set pieces.

Hardly seen any of this. I'll be honest, I couldn't give a **** about it. I'm going to hell

Me too. Tried to watch, but its just ****, like trying to watch womens football. Good luck to them but it does nothing for me.

[Liverpool]

it really is **** as a sporting spectacle and I dont think theres anything wrong with saying it.

obviously its great for the people taking part and inspiring others but thats about it.

i went to the olympics (womens marathon, triathlon, team all round gymnastics and day ticket to the olympic park) and at the weekend i attended the paralympics (mens judo -90kg) and i enjoyed them both considerably. i loved the judo at the paralympics (swear to **** some of them looked liked they had taken a leaf out of Johnny Knoxville film 'The Ringer') and it really was a great sporting spectacle.

The whole thing is inspiring like nothing ive ever witnessed and so maybe that does blind me to the obvious lower levels of sporting standard but i cant fault any of it. Been glued to the highlights whenever i get a chance to.

Roll on Glasgow commonwealth games 2014

Scotland Striker Julie Fleeting was my grandmother for a brief time at uni!!! I joked about womens football being piss and she was not amused. In a game of fives she was head and shoulders the best on the pitch - although to be fair the rest of us were pretty ****e

[Liverpool]

not just the lowel levels of skill its the disparity and unfair advantage some of them have

Had a cracking day today, the Olympic stadium is brilliant with a cracking atmosphere.

Saw 3 world records set and David Weir in the 800m heat as well as picking up his gold medal

No way they can make it work for football though without re-structuring it totally.

I was there too. It was a really good day. Stayed to the end of the seemingly never ending discuss. It became fairly tense. The Algerian shot putters were great. Shame a lot of people buggered off before they completed their one - two - three. Saw them in the park later on looking over the moon too.

I wish they communicated what the technical fouls were a bit better though.

They could have made the field events a bit easier to follow.

Whereabouts were you sitting? we were on the corner of the back straight near the screen.

Did you go into anything else afterwards?
