Incredible defensive performance by India and Sreejesh in particular who recovered from a moment of sheer madness by Rohidas. GB #hockey missing it up top where the selection was most questionable. Big shame. A real chance gone but plenty more to come from this squad.

Gutted for Belgium men, some of the greatest players I’ve ever seen are in that team. But it’s about time people gave Max Caldas the respect he deserves. Incredible coach. Hear there’s a Performance Director role going at GB… Weather isn’t so good but our beer is better 😉

The game was broadly speaking very well umpired. The fact it didn’t explode after the red card illustrates they did well in managing a very tense game. Ben on video was fantastic; quick, accurate and consistent. The chaps on the pitch handled the heat very well.

It needs to be said Laura Unsworth has been an all time great for Great Britain Hockey & England Hockey . She’s been a fixture in the #hockey team since 2008. She sets an exceptional standard in accountability, basics & was able to play wherever needed. She will be hugely missed. Legend.

Ignore the ridiculous accusations of racism & bias from some Indian fans. India’s performances in the last two #hockey games have been exceptional. A lot to be proud of. The defensive discipline was stunning. Craig has done a great job and the team should be proud.

Two phenomenal goalkeepers on that Deutschland v India #hockey semi. Gutted for Sreejesh who has been such an incredible ambassador for the sport. Shame someone had to lose as they say.

Thoughts and prayers with the International Hockey Federation social media team.

Predictably umpires from the second #hockey semi final under fire tonight. Both semis were very well umpired. The manner in which they defused high tension, explained things & held their composure was fantastic. There are some excellent umpires in the sharp end of this tournament

Having suffered Guillain Barre Syndrome paralysis and fought back from two instances of paralysis I’m so delighted we have role models like L I N A out there giving hope to those with neuro conditions & trauma. Inspiration. #gbs #paralysis #neuro

Not sure the ball patrol should be celebrating the Belgian goal in the #hockey semi final! Was a great goal to be fair 🤣

Vanessa Blockmans you absolute filth bag!!! #hockey #belgium

Just seen Martin Madden of Scottish Hockey has been appointed for the Men’s #hockey Gold Medal Match. This may well be his last international game and this is fitting. He’s been the best umpire at the tournament and has been brilliant for years. Simply put he is brilliant.

Dan Barstow of the NPUA on the men’s gold medal match for video umpire is spot on. Dan has had an amazing tournament. You’d have no idea this was his first Olympics. So proud of my NPUA colleague!

If you ever were in doubt that Max Caldas is a top bloke the end of the game proved he is. Genuine delight for the oppo, while also being able to support his own team.

The transformation for the Dutch men’s #hockey team has been something else. Jeroen Delmee proved he was a talented coach with FRA, he’s cemented it with NED. Olympic gold for Holland was unthinkable a few years ago. Huge well done!

Huge number of empty seats for the women’s #Hockey bronze medal game. Really poor from #Paris2024 to not sell that out.

It’s often said you need a bit of luck to win a major tournament. Paul van As had it in spades tonight for the womens #hockey gold medal match. Gutted for Annan who has proven what a coach she is, taking that team up from so low to so high.

Just seen sreejesh p r will be Flag Bearer for the #Paris2024 #closingceremony . Delighted for him. A man who spreads joy wherever he goes, is one of the best keepers of his generation and a man who has twice played a huge part in restoring India’s place on the podium. Enjoy!

Biggest logistical triumph of #paris2024 ? The internet coverage in the stadium tor the #closingceremony is handing all the social media posts by athletes! 🤣
