What a complete and utter pile of unadulterated horse shit. If you think that's a brilliant article than you're a bit of a cockwomble.
Tae Kwon do - what a bag of shite.
Reminds me of two pissheads settling an argument in the pub car park.
I may not have said it in the same way, but i totally agree with cheesy that the article is a pile of horse manure. I don't want to go into a long debate about politics, funding, nationlisation, etc. All i want to say is that i have loved these olympics, i am proud of how well the british have done and regardless of the funding the work and dedication these athletes put in is to be commended, apart from channel hopping i think the BBC coverage has been fantastic and its good to remember that life is for enjoyment which for the majority of people i know the olympics brings a good dose of that too.Is that the best you've got? Can't you even articulate one reason why you don't agree with the article?
I'll ignore the insult, and not resort to replying with one about you, tempting as it is.
Yawn.Love you to say that to their faces. They'd kick your head off.
They are incredible,particularly Alistair.brownlee brothers going well
Looking very good now, especially for Alistair. They are phenomenal athetes aren't they.brownlee brothers going well
Balls of steel. Amazing physical and mental strength.These athletes in the triathlon......just wow. How fit must they be to do all that cycling, swimming and running!! I couldn't even get out the pool on holiday properly, I looked like a walrus trying to get out the sea onto a rock. I take my hat off to these guys, absolutely amazing.
Yep,i enjoyed that enormously.Brilliant from the Brownlee's, physically and mentally strong, gold and silver, brilliant.
I was less referring to him talking about the news being delayed, than his point about the nationalisation of sport. I recall years ago Daley Thompson getting slated in the media for daring to whistle during the national anthem - as if he was winning the gold for 'Queen and country' - he was winning it for himself, as all athletes do. They arent symbols of a country; the Olympics shouldnt be about one country trying to prove it is better than another country, it should be about one individual being better than the rest in competition. I love the Olympic sport as much as anyone, but it doesnt mean the coverage can't be criticised, and the BBC obsession with the medals table is OTT.
Anyway, the author of that article and his like wont need to worry soon, cos ESPN has snaffled the coverage rights in future, so the BBC coverage will be secondary and much reduced. And, bless 'em, those annoyed about having to pick up their remotes to switch between BBC channels to follow the coverage probably wont need to bother.
