Colinjb Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 Time to dispose of Stuart Pearce from all levels of national responsibility, an utter dinosaur and everything wrong with the national game.

Red Alert Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 Stunning viewing today, literally been jumping all over the place watching this evening. 1 week in and honestly the best Olympics of my life time. I can't help but feel the footballers have just seen this as pre-season training, nowhere near the same desire to win as with the proper athletes. Bring on the tennis and cycling tomorrow.

AussieDog Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 I was beginning to think I was turning into an Australian (after being here for 9 years) as I had no interest or patriotism towards the English football team (or the GB football team either), but have been getting more and more patriotic as the week has progressed, culminating in that 10,000 metres this morning ....sorry...evening. It's certainly been a challenge trying to watch the events at the right time! Was worth getting up at 6am on a Sunday morning to watch it though, and by the end I was on my feet and shouting (sorry neighbours, but you can f*** right off it annoyed you ) I originally put in for the ballot for tickets and was going to come over, but got nothing so ended up coming over earlier and saw some of the promotion run-in. Sort of a win win situation really as I probably ended up saving about 10 grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 Was that 6 golds today? 2x Rowing 1x Cycling 3x Athletics Or have I missed any? As for the cycling then Ed Clancy could win gold in the Omnium tomorrow. He's 4th placed after 3 events, with 2 of his strongest to come. There's also a very good chance that Jason Kenny and Victoria Pendleton will win golds in the sprint. There's still the madison but that's a crazy event and impossible to call.

hypochondriac Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 It is. The word from the people working there, that the "family" are just blown away with the facilities but also having an Olympics in London is a massive draw itself It is the most attended and WR have been tumbling all over the place Also, the legacy will be the best yet How are we being perceived abroad?

The Cat Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 Men's Keran as well?? And that. We could win at least 3 more golds in the velodrome. Boxers doing well too. Reckon one of them will grab gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 4 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 4 August, 2012 How are we being perceived abroad? Dunno really. Talked to some South Africans and Canadians when at the park and they were gobsmacked when they found out the sheer number of volunteers helping out. And how friendly the general British public are. The organisation is simply top notch too. A few mishaps, yes with some empty seats but these are really minor I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just highlights the difference between those that are given the world for the talent they have and those that have to work hard every minute of every day for recognition/achievement.

Saint_Ash Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 I'm loving the Olympics! Maybe we're being biased as ite on home soil but this is the best one I've seen and it's great that all brits can be together for the common cause. I've never felt so emotional towards our athletes before whether they win or lose, these guys aren't doing it for money like footballers they're doing it for pride, and whether they win or lose you know they've tried their danm hardest.

BadgerBadger Posted 5 August, 2012 Share Posted 5 August, 2012 Just got back from the athletics and it was the most amazing night, the atmosphere was truly electric, stunning. Highlight has to be Mo's final 4 laps with the wave of cheering following him round the laps, building to a mad, mad crescendo in the final 200m, absolutely stunning roar. We had seats right in front of the podium and Jess's medal ceremony was the icing on the cake, the national anthem was very very special. Seeing Rutherford's joy of the gold, it all made for a top night, felt very very privileged to have witnessed a historical day. Apparently it's a year to the day that the riots started, wow what a different a year makes. Have to say the whole end to end from Southampton Parkway and back was faultless, no queues, no stress, no drama, no negativity, Olympic Park and the atmosphere is superb - hats of to the organisers, top notch, we can all be very proud.
