Someone has ****** up here...a sporting event has interrupted the lounge session.

Normal service has resumed - we have another ad

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Wow kinda feeling lucky that channel 10 doesn't work in my house, sounds horrible.

 

[BobbyMorri]

i didnt watch it during Prime time. it was terrible. every time i turned the tellie on, it was either ad, couch or swimming heats(im not interested, but understandable)

Straight from the cycling to the hockey!!! WTF!!!! Where is the couch time. Got to talk to Liz about some netball match which is happening while u talking on the couch about it.

Gordon Bray commentating field hockey... Jesus Christ, is it so hard to get one person who knows what they're talking about to commentate each sport?

Time to interview someone after a break

When that someone is Donovan Bailey, then it's ok.

Gordon Bray commentating field hockey... Jesus Christ, is it so hard to get one person who knows what they're talking about to commentate each sport?

When I think about it, it probably is. Hockey would be a minority sport/interest?

Jesus would be a good choice

i have given up watching this. the coverage is worse than being by 7 and that was the worst coverage of any sporting event

Now we're discovering the highlands.

SHOW THE SPORT YOU *****!!!?

 

[Gods_Son23]

Yep. Once again these broadcasters think we tune in for everything other than live sport.

 

[Bennett.]

Seriously, I could watch some of these hockey chicks all day..

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Absolute pants job now in the Hockey.

 

[Philler]

It's one thing not showing the goals live, it's another to not show them live and pretend to commentate as though they were live.

A goal is scored during the ad break so they delay it then get the commentators to play along. How stupid do they think we are?

 

[Bennett.]

2 minutes sport, 5 minutes of ads.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Are you kidding me with these god damn ads!? Two minutes between them!

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Three minutes between ad breaks.

**** me drunk.

 

[Bennett.]

3 1/2 minutes left in the hockey. We MAY get through to the end without more ads

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

anna flanagan is gorgeous

 

[Chunderboy]

anna flanagan is gorgeous

Agreed, and she wasn't even the best one there!

As for actual games, I haven't really gotten myself organised at all so have no idea what time of day these are on, or who we even have competing. But I'll make an effort to watch

- A fair bit of the athletics
- Weightlifting
- Rugby 7's

But looking through the events there isn't a sport that I don't see myself sitting down to watch if I happen to have time and it's on

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Laura Coles going for gold in the skeet shooting

 

[Milang_Panthers]

And wins it!!!

 

[BobbyMorri]

here it is on Ten.

(TBF, they were showing live sport on the track)

 

[Scoopar]

Are you kidding me with these god damn ads!? Two minutes between them!

Initially I wasn't too fussed with the coverage, but last night it became ludicrous. Fortunately the footy was on for most of the night, but after that - Thank God fo IQ. It's times like this the cost of Foxtel makes it worth while. Fast tracking the ads is the only way to maintain one's sanity.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

You might want to know that it's on both one and ten.
No need to become abusive.

They only show it on one channel at a time.

It switches from one to ten.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

have to agree, the coverage is dreadful and the ads OTT.

 

[Allikat]

Why is tandem cycling a thing? Who grows up thinking.. I want to represent my country in tandem cycling.
