wakeboard1980 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 There is video footage of the guy throwing the bottle. Its not that clear but it looks like him and you can see him sort of hide behind someone and then throw something. w@nker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunbury61 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Watching the Oz news yesterday trying to spin their way out fot he fact that the UK is thrashing Aus, in the medal stakes was hilarious. Thats it in a nutshell ........the fact that Australia has been disappointing at the olympics is one thing, the poms know all about that . ..........but why does the Australian nation have to constantly keep comparing their performance with a nation situated 12,000 miles away My desire to see the Aussies beaten is because of their perceived lack of humility , and desire to find excuses when beaten .

I suppose the question could be asked as to why you are concerned with the performance of a nation 18000ks away??? I think the Aus trying to beat the UK is like growing up trying to beat your big brother. It's been going on for years, have a look at the ashes. Growing up playing quite competitive sport, you need a certain but of cockiness and self belief to do well. The Aussies just show that differently to the Brits I suppose.

Harpodom Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Australia have doubled their gold medal tally the last 2 days (1,2,4). If they continue at this rate, they'll have 128 gold medals by sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northshorepom Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Saw a fact-ette on the Telegraph's blog this morning: Apparently Alistair Brownlee's time for the 10K run in the triathlon at 29:07 was only 97 seconds outside Mo Farah's gold medal winning time for the 10K on Saturday.....despite Brownlee having slowed right down for the last 100m to grab a flag and savour the moment, walked the last 20 or so metres, despite it being outside on the road rather than on track, and despite the rather small fact of doing it after swimming a mile and cycling a marathon (OK, not quite but you get the point). He would have made the final of the 10K with that time Wow. Just wow. If I run a 48 minute 10K I feel pretty pleased with myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up playing quite competitive sport, you need a certain but of cockiness and self belief to do well. The Aussies just show that differently to the Brits I suppose. Saying that you can see it every weekend in britian during the winter it's funny that on Sundays when my son plays soccer - the teams that are the most competative (and the coach shouting loudest/hardest) are those with a high proportion of Brits in the teams (the coach is usually a brit). Nothing wrong with the competativeness by the way, but I don't like hearing kids being berated for making mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
