Yes but with W Long Jump and M Javelin coming.... that's about 3 points total only :P I think it's going to be very close but we might miss out by a couple of points which will be hard to take. I think Romania v Ireland will be very close, Belgium too but maybe a few points ahead.

Leon Reid .... last minute withdrawal Phil Healy....last minute withdrawal Thomas Barr.... not n form due to recent injury Women's 4x100m relay.... in last 50m, our last runner had "technical issues" and lost ground Sarah Lavin....DNF in women's 100m Hurdles Sophie Becker.... DNS in women's 200m final Who is playing voodoo on our sprint team

I think that is certainly one bridge too far now.

Oh no, Sophie Becker DNS in W 200m final... our sprints have been plagued with bad luck here

Great finish in men's discus.... Milanov looked like he nabbed all 11 points but Norway said no :P

3 points in M triple jump is one more than seeding so that's a little bonus.

4th place in M 3000m steeplechase... good points

Belgium are in huge trouble in terms of relegation. They are in no means safe at all.

In men's pole vault, I think you can manage 3 points so that could be vital Tomorrow is also a very weak day for our team with men's triple jump, women's long jump and men's javelin expecting only 1 or 2 points and it's not like we are great in the pole vault or any of the other field events. So I think you have every chance of overtaking us. But could be an intense battle between Ireland, Romania, Hungary and Belgium with 2 going down. Hungary are expecting a strong day tomorrow but on the form of today and Friday's events, they re under-performing pretty much across the board. I think Turkey will be safe, not troubling the leaders but just enough above the relegation scrap.

That's a relief! Not such a disaster after all then. Inner thoughts: Still could have been better lol Nice to see my brethren here (half-Scottish)

Our junior heptathlete Kate O'Connor, doing the job for the team in women's javelin and picking up a few points

Well she lost a heap of time with that so that's unfortunate. Another nail in our coffin

What? Oh what a disaster

Crazy. I just hope we still qualified as this should be a big point scorer for us

Ireland edging out Belgium in the sprint in the men's 1500m. How important that might be at the end of the competition.

Not going good for Michelle Finn here in the steeplechase. Together with Ryan Forsyth's 6th place in the M 5000m, that's a lot of points going missing.

I would say Hungary will be relegated based on their performances so far.... consistently losing points vs seeding. Romania are doing the opposite.

Romania again destroying their low seeding in this event.

This music is more apt for a YouTube cat compilation video.

Romania are going to be a danger to all teams trying to avoid the drop.... seems like they are doing solid in most events and picking up higher points than seeding in many events (not surprising though, knew they would).

Slovakia in 4th after 12 events. @hckosice take a screen shot
