London 2012 Megathread [Part 1]

Mint Sauce

Okay, so After Hours doesn't usally do sports threads, barr the odd exception. But with only 11 days* to to one of the biggest sporting fortnights on the earth, and with what is preety much a Home Olympics for us, well its the closest it will ever come here. Prehaps its appropiate that the good folks of After Hours post all their thoughts, amusing observations, the scandel, and prehaps even the odd result here.

So here we go, you excited yet?

*9 days till the Football competition

PS. COME ON KATIE TAYLOR!!

Watching the swimming now. I love the noise that signals the start of the race. It's the same noise for as long as I can remember. Kind of like an angry confused teenager "beep".

Disagree with your views on basketball but do agree that McCarthy's unconventional approach to commentary can be fairly entertaining.

Basketball just isn't my sport. I recognise there's value to it (should go without saying) but it's not my thing. I'd watch entire matches he was commentating at the last Olympics though.

Press it harder son!!!

If he's the basketball commentator I'm thinking of he's brilliant. Makes even the most boring games (all of basketball) entertaining. There's some drinking games for his commentating floating about too.

Which county is your man from that's commentating on ladies basketball ?? Christ its dreadfull !!

Ah come on he's not bad tbh. Makes it exciting if anything. Comparing to what RTE have for GAA/Soccer/Rugby he's brilliant!

What a man Kieran Behan is, lovely moment for him and his family to get into and compete at the Olympics after all he's been through. His interview was brilliant and heart warming stuff and he deserves a medal just for getting through his ordeals. A role model for any upcoming young star. Well done Kieran

That's Timmy McCarthy from Cork, bai.
He's, eh, enthusiastic, to put it mildly.

What's the BBCs online coverage like? For live streams and that? We only have the RTE channels in the house here.

The BBC Sport App on the PS3 has had about 20 different sports on the go and the stream quality has been great (other than one stream for the boxing earlier which seemed to give up on me).

I assume the normal BBC website will be the same.

Again, you'll need to find a way to get them to work if you're in Ireland, which I assume you are.

On a more positive note, the Irish rower did well this morning....born Latvian but been in Ireland for years and bringing up her kids Irish. Good to see another good Irish performance today
