Nellers 29 Jul 2:57pm, 29 Jul 2024 43,427 posts	0 Nellers What a comeback from Pidders! Gold for GB and he's getting booed by the (mainly French) crowd for snatching the gold from their boy.

GordonG 29 Jul 3:44pm, 29 Jul 2024 10,513 posts	0 GordonG i wondered whether the booing was more about the crowd perhaps thinking Pidcock's move was illegal (I don't think it was) as it knocked the french guy off his stride.

Surrey Phil 29 Jul 4:12pm, 29 Jul 2024 10,562 posts	0 Surrey Phil There was nothing in it. The French guy passed the tree to the right and Pidcock went left. There was a natural coming together by which time Pidcock was a wheel ahead. There is a natural partisan attitude with the French which no doubt any host nation would be. However much we also dislike Argentina, to jeer every Argentinian participating team is a bit much. After all, it was the national football team who were at fault - not a rugby team or tennis players.

Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
