Commonwealth Games 2018

[strider]

Ok, whatever merkin decided the order of teams cant f**kin spell ... or am i missing something?

Apparently they are grouped by continent/region .... crisis averted ... as you were

 

[Gary Gutful]

Phew. I was really starting to worry...

 

[strider]

I'm more concerned about the impact on traffic and public transport in SE QLD.

Yeah but its a transport crisis when 3 families of 4 come visiting, so yeah whatever

To be honest, I don't get the point of the Commonwealth Games (I don't watch the Olympics either, but I guess they at least give chemists something to do). I'd rather watch a bunch of drunk truck drivers piss on a wall (I'm assuming this is not one of the events).

I still only care about the sports I enjoy...or the ones are just sheer lunacy (more applicable to the Winter Olympics to be fair).

And while I do enjoy, for example, some track and field events... the Olympics or the Comm Games are the only time you get real good quality competition

I love how the CommGames has abled and disabled athletes competing at the same gig.

Yeh, see I just don't like races. Doesn't look any different regardless of whether you are watching Usain Bolt, or the local under 15s.

Sport needs to involve a ball, or some other mechanism to necessitate team tactics.

I prefer the field stuff to the track, tbh. People throwing spears and cannon balls is strangely entertaining to me.

Big cycling fan too, and the good thing about the games is that the best track riders (who generally spend the track season f**king around on the road getting world champions disqualified from the tour, CAVENDISH YOU DICK!) all opt in for the chance to win a medal.

Field events are a bit better. They could improve the whole offering by conducting the javelin and the 100m sprint at the same time on the same piece of ground.

Squash !

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Squash !

A ball is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for the sport to be entertaining.

Finally I've found the perfect sport to bet on!

A blow-up whale? FFS Gary!!

Hey that Skywhale cost the ACT a fortune, I'm glad they found another use for it

Well considering how you gamble I assumed you were doing it with a disability so this could suit

Relax, horses and pedestrians have the right of way down there.

Norfolk Island under their own flag yet they're part of Australia...lol.

I'd rate the opening ceremony a 5. Started off OK but went backwards some time before they brought Charlie and Camilla off the bench. It didn't help much either when coach Beattie kept his beak in play at every opportunity he could.
