Piers Morgan

This debate is bullsh*t. It's up to each individual athlete how they react, it's nothing to do with nationality. Where is the evidence that Chris Hoy didn't sing GSTQ because he's Scottish? From where I was watching he didn't sing because he was too overcome with emotion. Bradey Wiggens didn't sing it, is that because he's an English nationalist?

Piers Morgans is an utter ****, and a supreme WUM, and most of all a massive self publicist. If he wanted to make a donation to Great Ormond St he could have done so without drawing attention to himself. Who the f**k is he to decide how someone who has dedicated years of their life to winning gold should react when they finally win?

Katie Taylor didn't sing, does that make her less Irish?

Anyway if you were to follow protocol then not singing is the correct reaction.

Morgan should be in prison not spouting sh*t on Twitter or CNN.

This is the part where you're coming across as condescending. I have the brain cells to understand it's a forum and people have different opinions, you have intelligent people like yourself and thicks like Ger, I'm not debating that point. I am debating that you told me it's silly to say it's not going to happen when you yourself said it earlier and you are now, quite remarkably, denying you said it when I've pointed it out twice to you.   On the indpendence thing, I am speed typing so its just a typo,  sorry about that.  I will make sure and will do my best not to make that mistake again.   But I cannot guarantee it.   If was only a question to lighten the mood!

Baldrick, you dismiss my comments by saying it's silly to say things like it will never happen and it's unlikely to happen is a much more sensible and accurate thing to say to be honest when you yourself said it's not going to happen. That's a contradiction and condescending.

I'm not talking about the executive, I'm talking about how you dismiss my comments when it's exactly the same thing that you said in an earlier post. You can't have it both ways.

And by the way, why do you have such a problem spelling independence?

I like Piers. Always praising the Irish on twitter too. And  fair play for the donation
