Welsh boxer Sean McGoldrick a step closer to Delhi gold

Welsh boxer Sean McGoldrick is a step closer to receiving a belated 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medal.

Sri Lankan Manju Wanniarachchi, who beat McGoldrick in the bantamweight final in Delhi, was stripped of his title after failing a doping test

Wanniarachchi has now decided not to appeal against the decision and has announced his retirement.

McGoldrick, who at 18 was the youngest of Wales' boxing team, lost the 56kg weight-division final on countback.

Wanniarachchi's gold medal was his country's first in boxing in 72 years and he was hailed as a national hero when he returned home.

But spokesman Sudam Sri Pahalagama said: "He does not wish this matter to drag on and decided against appealing and instead will retire from the sport with immediate effect."

He added that Wanniarachchi maintained his innocence despite a Commonwealth Games Federation Court hearing in Malaysia earlier this month which found him guilty of doping.

Hope he doesn't get it..

You're all heart, Truss.

' Crevice ' does have a nice ring to it.

They are lovely, but how often would the opportunity to use them arise on here..?

I used boorish just yesterday. Find the more Haye is on TV the more the opportunity should arise. Crevice is a different matter all together. Will make it my mission to use it, and will also try and avoid being crude to do so. Find crudeness on these boards extremely boorish and best avoided (see, it's easy)

"Not" and "tonight" are probably the two most common words heard in the Trussman household in the last twenty years or so..

I think this idea should be a daily challenge.

Romance her a bit, mate. You know, light some candles, cook her a meal, put on some soft music, show her Honeyghan v Curry........................

Alternatively i've heard chloroform works.

Hardly at the moment with her belly protruding out......

Besides If I was to start romancing her now she'd probably think I had another woman or something and was trying to cover my tracks....

If only!!!

There's no space in between silly, its 'default', so that's just one word.

You must pick another to make two.

Right Rowley, this is just getting boring now. I gave you props for using "boorish" yesterday. Don't milk it.

Crevice on the other hand is a winner. Another point for you.

That gets one of my rare forays into



territory.

Truss is yearning for the 'love crevice'......

chloroform wouldn't work on her......

She's a mix between Rasputin the monk and the girl out of the Exorcist..

That's why we never have mushy peas for dinner..

She has a foul mouth and a beard?

You missed my epic use of the word nugatory yesterday, made boorish look like the work of an illiterate buffoon.

Wonder where Adad is , these days.

Illiterate and buffoon are two words I would never associate with you Rowley.......

I like Buffoon. Dipstick is good, and Cretin is also nice if a bit direct.......

Always liked Spazzer but it's apparently very unPC these days.

This thread reminds me of one of my Uni lectures...

"Joey" was interchangeable with "Spaz" when I was a lad.

I've always had an affinity for Wales...from the age of 19 when I knew it existed!!

Some of my favorite actors Burton, Hopkins and Zeta even used to be Welsh once....

Take my advice Steff get away from there too..

The valley isn't green anymore
