Sorry I was being sarcastic I hope no offence taken ;)

None at all :thumbsu:

If anyones watching the equestrian did you hear the comment when the young Aussie chick knocked off a bar in the jumping. P.S it was the other guy not Simon Marshall.

"Dear me guacamole"

Hey Channel 7, the Olympic Games are a series of SPORTS.
They are not just entertainment, and you don't need a number of Daddo's, blonde bimbos and Hamish & Handy's to make it interesting.

SBS is not such a good sports channel, but they do one thing right: they show the actual games.
They don't turn them into an ad-fest and a time-filler.

We do watch to see the sport, and we can actually watch other countries doing well. We don't need to see 35 replays of Stephanie Rice or the Relay gold. Don't treat us like idiots: why don't you assume that we actually know about sport and enjoy watching it LIVE.

Stop the replays and "comedy", stop the slow motion, music video stuff, AND SHOW THE DAMN GAMES!

And I hope you never get the Games again :mad:
 
i went to bed just as the WEIGHTLIFTING (?!?!?) came on - can anyone tell me (and i think Juddism wants to know too) if the 10000m was shown?

i did try and record it - but i'm not quite sure what happened to the recording :(
 
Well the 10,000 is on again... :rolleyes:

Meanwhile the Kookaburras played last night but they just put together a brilliant 2 minute highlights package of the game. Sandy told us there was plenty of spite in the game, sure would've been nice to see it...

7 off to another ripping start.

Yeah the showed the 1000 but it was massively edited. It's a joke they are going to **** up the Athletics badly I can feel it.

As long as they show the main races, I am sure that is enough. The cycling is what I am looking forward to. More interesting than a 10K run
 
Gee you'd think Phelps was a Australian swimmer the way they carry on about him. yes I know it's crazy what he is doing, but I'm not that excited for him..........
 
OMG what is with this slow music and slow motion Phelps crap, show some bloody sport.

Agreed! And what's with the general love for America? We see the US Basketball team over the Hockeyroos? No mention that the Boomers are playing an absolute crunch match today but they've been pumping up the US game all day. :rolleyes:

This is typical of the Aussie bogan attitude when it comes to sport. I really believe people like you are not sports lovers at all.

True sports followers appreciate decent achievements, irrespective of their country of origin.

Channel 7 structure their coverage around idiots like you that are only concerned with Australia winning.

I like the Phelps stuff, but the general consensus is Channel 7 are confusing. One minute its only Australia stuff and we rarely get to see an epic battle between two other countries... but the next minute its all about Phelps. Why didn't we get to see the good Fencing battles etc like that italian (apart from an annoying montage)
 
They just showed one of their "olympic moments" just then. It was this Russian (i think) weightlifter getting the overall world record the commentators were going off saying hes in the gold medal position and what not.

He didn't even end up winning. This Chinese bloke came out reset the new world record and went on to win the gold.

Muppets can't even get their replays right.

Oh i didn't catch that, because I am an Aussie Bogan and don't care because Australians wern't in medal positions.

Could be worse. FOX SPORTS TRASH could be doing the coverage. There would be far more ads, worse commentators, and endless ads for that trashy rugby league.

I'll take 7 and SBS over FOX SPORTS TRASH anyday.

Sure mate sure. They own part oft he NRL so what did you expect? Also... Commentators are good and they only show adverts at breaks, not during play.

Chanes are if Fox had it, we'd be able to press the red button and choose what sport we want to watch.

Like the word Trash much?

SBS are doing a great job, Seven aren't.

That's exactly what they did during the Commonwealth Games and will do the same in London 2012. Can't wait because at least then I would have been able to see the Hockeyroos against the Netherlands instead of watching this shite basketball.
