OT: The Olympic thread

[King of the Hill]

do you have any contemporary opinions that you dont form solely to conflict with mine?

Remember when they tried to sticky tape Bruce Reid back together?

These things never work. She should of been in full swing instead of hospital.

I can see a tragedy of biblical proportions in the hurdles , followed by oceans of tears.

Its gonna get real ugly.

But she's still a chance

 

[pogo]

i d say that those who feel she wont race.....could make a nice profit from taking that stance on www.betfair.org.

 

[pogo]

sorry www.betfair.com

Haha

What about the tall poppy syndrome in this thread. :lol: I don't care what Cook does on the sand, if she keeps winning I'll be stoked! Go Aussies!

Tall Poppy Sydnrome?

Are you serious? That has got nothing to do with it. I was merely making reference to the fact that Cook was annoying by larking about when she was winning, which IMO, is un-Australian. It didn't suit her, she looked awkward and it was embarassing. I'm assuming you didn't see the vision McShark (and that you are leading with your chin again) but I was unable to find any photos of it on the net. If I find some I'll give you a link.

If that's the sport.. leave it to the Yanks, I say.

I saw it Gregos. I saw an Olympic champion trying to fire up the crowd of 100 odd people. I saw her slapping high fives with her team mate like every other volley ball player in the world does. I saw her get very excited when they won and went to the top of their pool.

. . . . and it is a Sport. It's a sport we won Gold in Sydney in and it's a sport you obviously have no clue about. Being pumped up for it is very important.

 

[King of the Hill]

It was embarrassing wasnt it gregos because I believe they were 4 points up in the second set
Needed only one more point
And the Chinese came back to win that set

No time for clowning around until the job is done

 

[Macca]

Wow SS, not like you to jump on the bandwagon, your hypocrisy is as rampant as a ever. :lol:

So who's enjoying Rebecca Wilsons inciteful and expert comments on Ch7. She never really annoyed me until I came on this forum and read through some of your comments. Now I can't stand her.

Some of hers and Tony Squires attempts to turn the Olympics into a bit of a comedy segment have been pretty lame.

Just on Cook - I can understand her wanting a bit of atmosphere in the stadium given it is just about empty, but it looked a bit to cocky for mine, and she seemed to lose a bit of focus for a while after that.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Australian Volleyballers dont high five.
That is yank crap. High five after every point, what a load of crap
I think our chicks should do something more Australian.

 

[PJ]

If I was the girls I'd patting the hiney after every point

Another successful brainwashing.

be very careful !!

Reefy is planning on moving us all out to Northern Guyana to his property called Blackstown. Here we will all be ceremonially accepted into his church "Black tip and the Reefy's temple" where we will be split into different groups of Breeders and Believers.
Tragically we will all be involved in a mass suicide attempt where things don't go completely to plan.
Amazingly only one of us will actually go through with it , and its not reefy.

She's shocking isnt she

How dare Channel 7 abuse their power as exclusive rights holders by making us put up with her. It's the olympics, FFS. Should be live and exclusive of Rebecca Wilson.

I like Tony Squires but watching him try to remain serious is pretty weird!

He always looks like he's itching to throw a few gags in.

 

[Macca]

*yawn*

:lol: Now who is owned. Is that all you could come up with? Read the whole thread. You missed out on the argument.

Reefy, all Aussie volleyballers high five. Did you see Brazil and Aust they other day. Every point.

 

[pogo]

what about ian thorpe...can he win the 100 mr???

8/1 seems a bit over the odds, i know its not his best distance but if he could keep in touch..who knows.

what do you guys reckon?

 

[Macca]

He has a great chance in the 100m.
