Get Frank Bough in there again.

The commentators in the 70's did seem a lot better

 

[davek]

i like Johnson, the rest are belters

The position of influence Johnson has over British athletics is strange and unhealthy. He's always sticking his oar in on team affairs, and he now practically runs the BBC track and field team.

Imagine one of our lot going over there and sticking their oar in like that.

It's all very weird.

Coleman was boss.

Could do with some Colemanballs

The BBC team: loathsome.

Inverdale: smug tvvat.
Johnson: pompous tvvat
Lewis: snotty tvvat
Brendan Foster: boring tvvat
Steve Cram: smarmy tvvat
Stuart Storey: Jingoistic/statto tvvat
Phil Jones: Thick geordie tvvat
Lineker: big eared unfunny tvvat

They're killing track and field.

Davek wingeing/moaning negative t??t

Coleman was boss.

I'd go with that. Made quite a few blunders , but it didn't faze him

Our track and field team is decent now though.

Once we get a guy who was the fastest man in the world. We shall see. Not the ****test opinion to get for tv. Safe to assume he knows hes stuff.

 

[sheeds]

A lot of the radio commentary and general shows have been pretty good, I can't believe I'm saying it but even that Alan green (who I totally despise with a passion) wasnt anywhere near as annoying as usual doing the rowing

Indeed. It's all too slick these days. And way too serious. You'd think they were doing something world shattering rather than chatting shite about roided-up freaks.

 

[toffeejack]

why are the czech's wearing wetsuits in the beach volleyball? loving the skimpy underwear on show from the yanks. are there any better sports on atm?

 

[davek]

Our track and field team is decent now though.

Nothing to do with him though.

 

[ijjysmith]

Can't think of any other medal hopes for us?
