Yes to all the above.

Quality stuff from Peter Donnegan at the Men's 10,000m medal presentation...

Re Mo Farah: "As a youth, he wanted to play left wing for Arsenal. Now, instead of being a Gunner, he's just a gun!"

How the hell is Peter Donnegan still commentating VFL!!! He is all class and not obsessed with making himself the centre of attention. He is a gun I say

Did anyone else hear Eddie say in the Women's marathon comentary last night as they ran past Big Ben something along the lines here they will run past the garden with statues of Winston Churchill, someone else and "Abraham Lincoln". Really! He had no Focking idea what was there but still ranted on!

Fair enough. I actually looked up the parliment square statues and Abraham wasn't mentioned. http://www.london.gov.uk/parliamentsquare/about/statues.jsp The is a rodin there which is much more worthy of mention (not mentioned on site either - may not actually be in parliment Square). Not sure why there is a Lincoln statue in Parliment Square or why it is relevent to the London Olympics.

+1 in the group that google'd the Abe Lincoln statue in Parliament Square in hope that Eddie had stuffed up. Was put there to celebrate 100 years of peace between the US and UK in 1918 or something.

I obviously went to the wrong website I'll have to send Boris a letter of complaint!

I know it might not be that important, but why are we not watching the Boomers, instead watching all the heats for the 100m hurdles. There is only one Aussie, we don't need to see all the other heats.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Could this build up to Pearson's heat be more over the top?

 

[pieman123]

and we have missed paddy mills buzzer beater live because channel 9 are still showing hurdles heats

Aussie Boys leading 2-1 in the volleyball against world number 3 Poland and haven't seen anything on 9.

Edit: Boys play amazing, gutsy volleyball to win in four.

Staying true to form. They had this long foreplay for Magnussen's 100m free final and then it wasn't the desired result. Hell I can still remember the start time they flogged. 5.15 a.m.

And now they start to show it.

Tom Slingsby (sailing) gets a countdown to his final race. F***ing hell Nein. Bandwagon and jinx much?

 

[juzzo]

Just what is Gary Lyon doing at these games exactly? All I've seen is a couple brief interviews from the party scene.

Needed time to put together a highlights package!

I think you just answered your own question. The Last Lap? The Last Crap more like it.

It could be one last junket for the boys before corporate reality comes crashing down and a few get the lemon and sars.

Yep, he said it - I thought I might have miss-heard. It isn't that hard to pronounce is it?

Even the most cunning of linguists get tongue-twisted. There's no shame with correcting yourself but Karl went and stuck to his guns

 

[ozgamer]

Was watching Grandstand on ABC24. Wilko was talking to Peter Lewis who was reporting from London. Lewis referred to Sally Pearson's main rival as Lollo Jones and how she was the "home town girl" (she's from the USA actually).

Peter Lewis is not a sports reporter.

Someone needs to explain why 9 had a camera on Bolt the last 10 minutes.............before a heat race. Yeah, switch over when the race is on but when the Hockey is on and the triathlon...........spending 5 minutes on Bolt sitting down in this tracksuit just seems like a waste
