Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts	Didn't think that was too close an attempt - fingers crossed for him though.

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	In hindsight it might not have been quite that close but I liked it! Great end to the competition here. Some great lifting, good fight in all 3 dudes.

knock knock !! who's there ?? OLD SCHOOL SUGDEN Member 212, 11439 posts SQ 325, BP 212.5, DL 370 907.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	What a fantastic Commonwealth Games Weightlifting Champs Enjoyed everything I seen .. Love the state of English weightlifting .. Most of the men's team will be back in four years to dominate in my opinion .. As for Shaun . First games would he of won a medal even if he hit six lifts ? No I don't think so . So was fantastic experience for him and I'm sure nobody learnt more than him from this one .. Shaun trains hard and if he sorts out his life outside of the gym he could be immense . Only he can do that .

old age traveller Member 332, 7862 posts	Thanks for all the updates smalls Just watched the highlights of the supers, seems the welsh lad could well of had a medal with more conservative attempts

Jury's decision is final like in any sport. Onwards! Statement of the motherfking year that Smallsy .. The statement you're looking for is Referee's decision is final ! They red lighted it mate .. What sort of stupid assed sport has a jury ? Bullst ones ! Refs in lifting are crusty old cts who want to make a name for spotting infringements other refs didn't see and rarely use common sense. I'm ill with silly ref decisions ruining this sport .. Does hitting your elbow on your knee give advantage ? NO . I wish lifting would go 2000 instead of 1900

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6774 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250 637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 02.08.2014 @ 15:07 PM by Wigan ChrisMcCarthy said:Whilst I agree a knee touch doesn't give you an advantage I'm interested in how you think it is ruining the sport since it is at best useless and worst potentially dangerous. I think Mark was referring more to lifts that would look good lifts to Joe Public being red lighted for technicalalities, or lifts being passed and then ruled out by the Jury. In this day and age sport is as much an entertainment as pure sport, and if weightlifting is to gain real mainstream popularity then this sort of things needs addressing or the 'uneducated' spectator just won't buy in to it, and the sport will remain niche.

I would say they are certainly more understandable than the various rules of many more widely-spectated sports - the old saw of explaining the off-side rule comes to mind.
