London 2012 Megathread [Part 1]

Dr.Broccoli

Katie got the loudest cheer of the olympics so far. 113 decibels in her last fight.

She'd give ya goosebumps.

How do you know they assume that? You're assuming that people don't want any build up and discussion prior to the event.

They can't please everyone.

It's been mentioned more than a few times across differnt sports about their lack of live coverage.
They were chatting about boxing one of the evenigns last week while there was live sport availble and Irish boxers werent even on.

I cant see anyone complainign about them showing too much live olympics tbh.

1 hour to go.

Mr.Crinklewood

How many names will Jimmy mention in the commentary, and will many of these be non-boxers?

He's a little bit camp tbf. Doesn't mean he's gay though...

He's not camp. You only think that because he is Australian and yet not biting into a beer can, whilst bbqing steak from the crocodile he just wrestled

What's your next hypothesis - That Claire Balding's not at all masculine and is in fact 100% heterosexual?

Come on.

Yes because I base my view of all Australians on what I saw in that one episode of the Simpsons.

Oh come on we've all spent a year in Australia we know that even there he'd be considered camp!

Christ people turn on your sarcasm detectors.

Still, I suppose its my fault for not including a smiley face for the sarcastically challenged :rolleyes:

McGee is an awful waffler, I'm watching it on BBC. Ole Ole coming out on LP next week FFS. Her opponent is like the female version of Prince Naseem.

garv123

She's doing the right thing so far. Not getting stuck in or involved in a scrap, keeping back and taking her points. Preserving energy and less risk of injury for the final.

Not as exciting to watch as the match against GB didn't expect her to go all out

Dr.Broccoli

Haha brilliant Katie

Glad you posted that switched over now. Jimmy was talking awful ****e - the bbc commentator guy is quite good

Colmustard

2 minutes can last ages.

ThisRegard

About 120 seconds usually.

Mr.Crinklewood

Shut up Jimmy.

Dr.Broccoli
