          But a bit less of a threat at set pieces.

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

                  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.

                      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

                          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?

                                What were they discussing?

                                Who won the paralympic chat gold?
