Well, after a couple of weeks action, we have a medal now as the GB mens curling team get to the final of the team curling event. It is a very moorish sport to watch, I enjoyed the tactics immensely today. And GB women are in the semis, after winning a last ditch match today and then having all the results fa...

Hows this one for a match up? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/58003683 playing your ex with whom you are in a bit of a messy split up situation? Ouch.

This is now becoming very real with the announcement of almost all the squads yesterday, with THREE home nations involved out of four it seemed entirely appropriate to start a separate thread.

Bit of a taboo subject, and I was looking to bump an old thread rather than create a new one, but couldn't even find a horse racing thread of any sorts, so perhaps not, but is anyone having any punts / much interest in Cheltenham this year? SkyBet are doing their £10 refunded as cash on the first race tomorr...

Knowing the number of Scottish friends we have on this forum, I am keeping a low profile tonight. OK. Congratulations. It was a fair result and you deserved to win.

Another great grand tour event , Hugh Carthy of Britain won today's stage and is 3rd with a week left. Probably wont win but on the back of Geoghegan Hart winning in Italy, britain still has some talented cyclists in the post Froome and Thomas era.

Not sure if anyone has followed this years grand tours, but the Giro provided an amazing climax and a wonderful British winner. Tao Geoghegan-Hart has a great back story, wish we could see this in tennis. Hackney boy makes good. I know some have it in for Team Sky/INEOS but hats off to them, they unearth...

With all respect to our Scottish posters on this forum, but wasn't that Japan-Scotland match just amazing????? You can't stop smiling for Japan - a superb show so far, and a superb match today. And given what they've put with in the last 48 hours.....

Second test starts in the middle of the night - best chance for England given it is a day/night match in cool conditions England's seamers should benefit - let's hope the batters can finally get some big runs.

So Leicester City have duly won the Premier League with two matches to spare

After their great escape from relegation last season, they started this season with a new manager in Claudio Ranieri and were duly priced at 5000/1 to win the league. In front for most of the season, that bubble just ne...

Hats off to this guy, people may remember he lost both his legs in a horror motor racing crash 2 years ago, aged 17 at the time. Hes today won the Pau GP in euro formula which is something like formula 3 and is clearly a great talent but also an inspirational person. There was a documentary on him and his jour...

One maybe aimed towards Coup Droit! We over here always think of the FA Cup as the top club cup competition. But looking at the French version, it seems to run ours pretty close in terms of number of entries, upsets over the years, chances for lower level clubs. As someone with links both sides of the...

Knockout stage.... Great win for my team (Man U) last night in a tricky away tie against Lille. It was a scrappy match, one of the worst pitches I've seen. We were a bit sloppy in defence and Lille were in control for most of the match, had a goal correctly disallowed in the 2nd half - was a great decisio...

Of all the golf events, this is the one I hold at the same level as say Wimbledon in tennis. Albeit not sure I like much of what goes on around Augusta and the attitudes in terms of diversity, lets leave it at that as it clearly is unacceptable in this day and age. Anyway, Iain Carter writes in the BBC website...
