Madbadteacher Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Have we won any medals yet? Thought we were gonna get 100 golds or something to justify the expense? Quote
Goldie03 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 I bet he has a tiny cock. Ironic, given that he is a massive cock. He is an 18 year old laddie who lost his dad - give him a break!! Absolutely stunning from heat to semi to final. Seemed utterly dumbfounded by the whole thing, even after her heat win. As an aside how fucking woeful is Linker? How the fuck dud he get chosen to present prime time coverage? Clueless moron. And Thorpe must be on drugs, he looks mental. On the plus side moorehouse and jamieson are excellent for the swimming commentary. I met him when he was competing in the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh in 1986 - sound guy Have we won any medals yet? Thought we were gonna get 100 golds or something to justify the expense? Why the fuck are you being so negative about the bloody games, it is so so boring to read Quote
Madbadteacher Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Why the fuck are you being so negative about the bloody games, it is so so boring to read I am not being negative, I'm just being realistic. I'd love us to win shit-loads of stuff, and trust me here I'm not popular cheering against team USA, but, realistically (and I know it's early) we aren't living up to the hype are we? Maybe the pressure of competing at home? I'm online everyday to find how team GB are doing, because, as you would expect, we get team USA coverage here, so dinna give me "negative" shite please.

tmwtm Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 The GB male gymnnastics team did superbly to get a bronze today. I have to say i'm enjoying watching the games a lot more than I thought I would. Quote
Kowalski Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Posted July 31, 2012 So many NE athletes are involved in finals. There's been at least three in swimming finals (Miley, Carry, Renwick), and David Florence is up in the canoe semi final this afternoon, and Katherine Grainger looked superb in the rowing yesterday.

I have to say i'm enjoying watching the games a lot more than I thought I would. I was a cracking performance, was just glad Japan got the deserved silver GB Womens basketball was also a great watch and they were unlucky not to beat Canada. Far better effort than the men put in the day before. Quote
glasgowdon Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Olympics is a lot of shite. 1. People suddenly become interested in sports they never watch. 2. All the good sports are well represented throughout the calendar year anyway. Quote

glasgowdon Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 and? And nothing. I said I think it's shite and I offered two reasons why... Quote

I think it's a great opportunity to watch some cracking sport. Quote

dave_min Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Remind me, is Eurosport on Freeview? Nope, it is not. I've decided to claim that Gold the Lithuanian girl got for Team GB. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Really could not give a fuck about the vast majority of it. Cycling? Swimming? Shooting? Sailing? Horseyshite? Baws. Bints beach volleyball and badminton and the hunner yerds. Quote

Bints beach volleyball and badminton and the hunner yerds. Cycling and Swimming are about the only things I've watched so far. Caught a bit of the waterpolo which was pretty good and dip in and out of the boxing which can be pretty entertaining. Found myself watching archery the other day with crowds going mental, bizarre.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Oh, and fucking rowing, fucking yayas on a frigging boat. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Rewind a couple weeks and the same people bumping their gums about the Olympics were getting carried away about some dour Scottish cunt with a bat or a bunch of Yanks getting rained on in Royal Lytham. Horses (if that's your thing) for courses (if that's your thing). Quote

Superstar Tradesman Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Well fuck me, you're right, I now like all of it, thanks for that. Oops. You must have me confused with someone that gives a fuck what you like. I just don't get the mass negativity? As someone said earlier; if you don't like it, don't watch it. Quote
bloo_toon_red Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 I bet he has a tiny cock. John Thomas Daley Sounds like a homosexual gentleman's weblog. Quote

As someone said earlier; if you don't like it, don't watch it. No oops. But thanks for trying. That's kinda the point though, there are so many sports to watch. I don't care for the vast majority of it. But I have enjoyed a couple of the sports. Most of it is bollocks though. Quote
BrownyBrown Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 What I like about the Olympics is that there is (almost) something for everyone. I have found myself watching sports that I normally wouldn't otherwise, and learning something new about each one. Of course you could watch them any time of year if interested but there is something decent about watching professional young athletes at the pinnacle of their sport. Much more respect due to these guys rather than overpaid primadonnas who grace the EPL and the likes who think they've 'made it' because they own a Bentley. If the Olympics has the effect of even encouraging a fraction of this nations youngsters to become more active and take an interest in a 'sport' instead of becoming another generation of lardy-arsed layabouts then I'm all for it. Horse-trotting is pish though. Quote
tmwtm Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 I was a cracking performance, was just glad Japan got the deserved silver GB Womens basketball was also a great watch and they were unlucky not to beat Canada. Far better effort than the men put in the day before. Yeah I agree that Japan did deserve the silver and certainly added a bit of excitement to it all. Basketball was really good, an exciting game. Just started watching the swimming, first I've watched today though. Quote
maverick sheep Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Kim Little fae Aiberdeen is the best player in the GB women's team, and she'd walk into any SPL side. Quite fancy them for a medal. The men's team is such a desperate load of wank, shoehorned into the tournament for no good reason. Quote
