Saint-scooby Posted 6 August, 2012 Share Posted 6 August, 2012 Going off the subject I drove to central London this morning, clear run no traffic, popped into a cafe near Harrods the guy said he had more staff than customers, he had 4 staff ! I have to admit the BBC have done a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 6 August, 2012 Share Posted 6 August, 2012 Why do we as a sporting nation choke so badly ? Daley and Waterfield Womens basketball against Canada Murray's choke is already in the post. Paula Ratcliffe at previous Olympics At least Moomintroll gritted her teeth and got her bronze. Do we not take sports pyschology seriously enough, or are we just pooftahs ? Too many silly mistakes and nervousness. As I said earlier, we seem to struggle with home-crowd expectations. Murray and Henman probably would have won Wimbledeon if it have been in the Czech Republic. Hang on, thats taking it a bit too far... Cavendish ? We do really well when we are underdogs and no-hopers in situations. and its not just sport. Look at WW2, especially the Battle of Britain, Rorke's Drift and Goose Green for extreme examples. The gymnastics team fit this category. When we are fancied, with high expectations/hopes, we are complete bottle-jobs. And this morning you can add Ben Ainslie and Paul Simpson to the list of those blowing it, which is even more annoying because they have proven records of success but are bottling it in home territory because of weight of expectation. Jesus, our own coastline and we really are fluffling the sailing lines. Ainslie drops further behind and another boat capsizes. And now our best canoeing hope has buggered up. If Stanning and Glover dont get gold this morning, Team GB might as well go home.... It has nothing to do with the efforts of the competitors or teams at all. I think I have a pretty good idea of what some of them go through for their sport. I am frustrated with what I see as something weak or missing in our national psyche that means we see all sport as a f**king cricket match. With cucumber sandwiches at tea. We lack the aggression and drive to really be top-of-the-pile, to be the best. We are too wrapped up in the participation thing. Are you willing to admit you made yourself sound like a bit of a **** earlier in this thread yet Alps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 6 August, 2012 Share Posted 6 August, 2012 Have to say, the BBC website overage is excellent, especially the 'shortcuts' to specific pieces of action and the ability to 'rewind' it back to the beginning and watch it 'as live' if you don't quite tune in in time.

It's just brilliant. The only gripe I have with the coverage is the highlights show. A couple of times when I've been out and missed stuff live I've had to watch it, and to be honest the 'highlights' are terrible, far too short and don't give you any feel for how the event panned out. But then I guess they are trying to cram an awful lot into one show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I guess they are trying to cram an awful lot into one show. I've opted to watch the video online for any key highlights... far better to get all the action as it happened rather than what the Producer thinks is worth showing, especially, as you say, they have so much to cram in.
