There has been many more cokups but then again it is CH9 so you really cant expect any better. As for commentators or should I say anchor (W-nker men)
how much of a McGuire clone is James Brayshaw? same head and hand movements same smart arse innuendo and Lyon isn't much better. In fact they should be both advised to put their hands out of sight when they talk.
Not looking good for the FOOTY SHOW that's for those who are silly enough to watch it!

Commentators driving me crazy , I like the way they quote their own commentators eg Ray calls Liesel the greatest breaststroker ever and then they use that line in the news . Give me a break .

Now that I've started I may as well vent my spleen , Ken Sutcliffe - on the Welsh swimmer winning the 1500m free and breaking Australia dominance in the event of a "decade" or so - sorry Ken we've dominated the 1500 for about 50 years . Cringe.

Not that I mind Wales winning as we get to year THE best anthem going around.

Also why do we need to see highlights of the medal presentations , show me the races not the athletes waving to the crowd !! Would a highlights package each evening with replays of the races be too much too ask for those poor blokes who work every day .

Too much swimming in prime time- there are other sports and medals too!!!!!!!!! At least it is over and we can see other sports.

 

[eddiesmith]

No such thing as too much swimming

 

[goalpie]

Why ******** someone drown.

 

[peternorth]

there needs to be a checklist of garry lyon's vocabulary, i reckon he uses the same cliched terms over and over again!

 

[mrcracker]

They go ad crazy in the last hour or two of evening coverage. Last night it was ad break, three lifts in the weightlifting, ad break, two gym routines, ad break. Once they move from attempts at live finals across to taped stuff they just pack the ads in there.

 

[Drummond]

According to Channel Nine's coverage there is only 1 country competing at the Games ...

The excessive Swimming coverage is ridiculous. If I hear them crap on about "our Golden Girls" again I'll flip. They have no opposition FFS!

Maybe because they want ratings?

And they've been getting great ratings, so I say well done.

yeah it is good isnt it? I kind of laugh at the scenes in the background, cant help thinking that most of the stands are made up of overweight couch potatoes that sit there clapping themsleves silly, watching fit young athletes doign what the couch potatoes dream of for themsleves. Then with the flick of the switch, yep C9 at its greatest, commercials with that favourite past time, for those couch potatoes are aired, eating KFC. LMAO, sheeeeeeeesh.

 

[The Dice Man]

Id be inclined to watch it more if I saw other countries winning something. I watch it for 10 minutes, cringe and tune out.

Joke of a games.

Any chance of Mark Nicholas putting his tie on straight?

He always wears it crooked!!!

Ha ha - maybe i didnt straighten it properly for him! Seriously i thought he did an excellent job with the afternoon shifts. Less than impressed with Ken Sutcliffe. On the subject of ties, Garry Lyon's orange and white one worn on the first Sunday was a shocker. Looking forward to seeing Nico back for the cricket in November.

 

[Shell]

Thank god this is all over and we can have our city back and get down to business!

 

[The Dice Man]

Coverage wasnt boring, it was sickeningly UNWATCHABLE!

I reckon I watched 2 hours worth at most, and watched more of the opening ceremony than anything else.
