StaffsRam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 As far as I'm concerned, the more cycling the better! If anyone's looking for sports that should be reviewed - Basketball. Seriously, who other than the US, is going to win this? Just about the most nailed-on Gold medal of the entire games. Can we have dominoes in next time?

-JW- Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Watching the hockey, been a cracking semi so far, shame about the game though.

StaffsRam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Most of this is quite amusing; However, the Dingo bit was too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thank God for Mo, Jess and Greg! Other than Ohuruogu and Grabarz, the rest of our Track & Fielders have been a distinct disappointment after Super Saturday.

GboroRam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 A new medical condition has been recognised - olympic thumb. Caused by continually scrolling down to find the Aussie results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I would like to state that earlier I rubbished the olympics and Seb coe as being an extravagance that this country neither needed or could afford,and that I wouldnt be watching. I have been glued to the tv waching it.It has been fantastic,especially the cycling.Ive thoroughly enjoyed it and the only time I havent supported Team GB is in the football....and phillips idowu And it's only made the sweeter by the amount of bellyaching from the Frogs, who can't understand that we're just better than they are. For those offended by the racially stereotyping use of the word Frogs, I do of course mean cheese eating surrender monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 GB 1-2 Argentina. Hockey.... Another sport that's better ran and has better professionals than football. Unlucky ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Barry Davies still BBC's best commentator. Deffo!! I assumed he quit MOTD etc to enjoy a quiet life. Seems he caught the hockey bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Still does Wimbledon too. Ah, Should do the football again. Motson seems to lose the plot half the time and that Johnathon Pearce....... well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Pearce used to be alright on the radio, but I can't get used to him on the telly - he sounds like he should be commentating on games on Five instead of the Beeb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Feel a bit sorry for US viewers - they're not getting events live, NBC are holding the broadcasts to air in their primetime. Best comment I've seen re this; We get pictures from Curiosity faster than we get news of Olympic events on NBC.....

StaffsRam Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I remember when I was a nipper, part of the fun of the Olympics was staying up through the night when it was in some far-flung corner of the globe (Seoul, Sydney). To not be able to see the 100m live, well, shocking really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The c**t responsible for the relegation? French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The magic wheels they are accusing us of having....ironically, are made by a French company..! Bad losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think the stuff with the wheels is a psychological ploy on our part - there's absolutely nothing special going on with the wheels I'm sure, but the French in particular now seem convinced that we have 'magic' wheels that are somehow unbeatable. Bauge looked like a beaten man all the way through that final against Kenny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnram Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Not so much a 'psychological ploy' more a joke that L'Equipe took seriously. Dave Brailsford told French reporters that we were using special 'round wheels'. In fact it is simply having the right training, preparation and peaking at the right time.
