Lions ratings 9:10pm on 20 Jun 2009 Alun Wyn Jones seems to get a lot of criticism, and it started with the original blog post. Watching the game would help. He did indeed tackle well and put in some abrasive tackles at that, but as another post says He packed down on the left side (behind Gethin Jenkins), and not his usual side either. POC unfortunately is not the player he has been in the past and is having a poor tour so far.
Heaslip seemed quiet and a couple of pick ups had no forward momentum at all, but he's the only option and can be good if the Lions gain control at the start of 2nd test.
Phillips needs a good talking to, takes too long to get the ball away and why oh why keep going blind to the 5m line giving the defence on the open side plenty of time to catch a breath and organise, hence when the ball comes back again the defence is there and with his 2 or 3 steps the defence are right up. There is no other option but why isn't Peel there with his zippy pass.
Joker in the Lions pack 9:25pm on 02 May 2009 What now for the Joker who can aggravate other players. "A lot of his work goes unseen", not today it didn't. Get it out of the game I love and show a firm hand. No wonder everyone at Munster loves him, they don't have to worry about his hands coming around their face.
Why the Water Cube is so fast - and my tip for another GB gold 7:12pm on 12 Aug 2008 I think that its improvements in technology and attention to technological attention that makes me look forward to the swimming at every Olympics. Records tumbling and great races throughout. I love all of the races but not a lot of sporting events beat the excitement of a close swimming relay final.
Great sport, and as world and national records fall due to improvements made then that adds more to the occasions.
Olympic countdown - 20 days - Dirty race 12:30pm on 24 Jul 2008 I'm finding Ben Johnson so difficult to listen to, he actually feels hard done by being found cheating. He believes he's been picked on and used as and example. He does not seem to have any shame and still describes himself as the best sprinter in the world. What he doesn't think of is that if everyone else had used the same as him then he'd have been nowhere.

He says that if he was running now then with advances in technology, diet, tracks, science..... then he'd be running 9.5 - what a fool. He'd also be dead by the age of 38, look at womens' champion from a similar era.

This is the society we live in - absolute rubbish, I've lost any respect for him because I thought he would have some sense of shame or sorrow for this.
He now says he has a comfortable life and is doing well, he's very pleased and still feels that he's the fastest ever man in the 100m, I couldn't hate the man anymore. If he hadn't cheated he wouldn't even be used in programs like this and wouldn't even be recognised. Forget him but never forget what he's done in the past - he's a cheat who would not have been close ot winning and should not be feted as a could've been. He wasn't even close.

I do feel sorry for you Ben, there's nothing special about you, and quite frankly I couldn't show you the courtesy that Steve Cram showed in allowing you to air your views and listen to your sorry self-gratifying comments.
The shame of this all is that I love athletics and always have but I can't speak to people nowadays without them having some cynicism against the feats of some of the best club and national athletes. This is all fault of you and others like you.
