Pain for Thompson as Farah wins gold

CHRIS Thompson’s night of destiny turned into one of pain as compatriot Mo Farah won the men’s 10,000m final in the Olympic Stadium. PAUL TURNER reports from London 2012

To the poacher- in the world of football, the FA Trophy is pretty far down the pecking order, whereas in athletics an olympic final is right up there. You obviosly missed my point that Bell finds it within himslf to support a less than world beating football team who has never played in a MAJOR final, but criticises a Barrovian who has competed at the top level in his sport.

Please,please everyone,I implore you to ignore and dismiss the comments made by this chap Adam Bell.
The reason I say this is because he in all probability is an imposter.Most probably a barrow raiders fan just trying to stir it,or one of those poor dark souls from dalton who in the main cant stand Barrow anyway.A true Barrow football fan would never,ever come out with such distasteful comments such as these.

i was on the edge of my seat watching this, mo was brilliant im goin to name my next ferett after him. chris did well but will not be getting an animal named after him.
I really wish Barrow could host the olympics one day , over park vale perhaps?

Well done Chris. Ignore the ones who say you let them down...they probably would struggle to get off their backsides to go down the shop and back without a car.
