Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

[Brockas]

Well, just watched the opening ceremony.

Already sick of hearing commentators talk shit about lame metaphors and the story behind some fag in a boat talking to the devil with a fiddle...


Digital floor was fkn cool though!

Already one death in the luge.

I'm predicting possibly another death in the curling. That shits intense!

[TJ]

LOL curling

Sick of hearing about the snow boarder with concussion - making it out to be that she has Sarah spec 25 diseases at the same time

[mitchy]

I'm predicting possibly another death in the curling. That shits intense!

:lol:

i'd be keen to marry a curler/sweeper, she would have awesome housekeeping skills.

[schnoods]

LOL.

Digital floor was awesome, when the ice broke up it looked really well done.

[Breno]

Swap the granite stone and handle for a saucepan, and you're away!

[SINISTR]

I just want to know wtf did channel 9 get the coverage rights... they start showing the games at 9.30pm till early hours in the morning when people are in bed.

[[FFOUR]]

Looking forward to the mens ice hockey starting tomorrow, the Canadians and Russians both have very strong teams - should be quite a spectacle.

Keen to catch some snowboarding and downhill skiing too, but other than that not too much interest.

[Turbo2.6L]

Keen to see the women's swimsuit contest... Wait!

[Skitzo]

Keen for the Polar bear Riding.

[DISTRBD]

I'm predicting possibly another death in the curling. That shits intense!

I was listening to Eddie fukn everywhere and he mentioned some guy who they call " the bad boy of curling " :lol: :lol:

The snowcross today was a little disappointing for the Aussies, Two qualifiers through both crashed out.

[Brockas]

Channel 9 is shit.

Pretty sure they have bought fucall events and are just trying to draw it out for as long as possible...

Watch snowcross, ads, watch snowcross qualifying, ads, watch same snowcross race again, ads, talk about snowcross, ads, snowcross presentation...

FFS show me something other than 1 event per hour.

bah - or repeat the mans moguls winner run 3 times in 2 minutes and then after the break again couple times. Then have a 15 minute debate whether the canadian won because he's a local and the canadian-aussie was better and in the middle throw the run in a couple times too...
I think Foxtel has it live and most of the events?

[Brockas]

Yeh but despite paying about $200 a month for foxtel they want to charge another $50 just to watch the olympics.

Thought I'd give channel 9 a go.... big mistake.


Why tell us the results before they show the race / event as well? What the fuck is wrong with these people?

[perthute555]

see the dude get own'd by the pole :D

sadly he die'd

Your kidding? extra $ to watch something that should be standard? fark that!

[EVLO]

Lucky for me they threw in the olympics free when i signed up to fox beginning of the year. 4 hd channels 24/7 = win.

[adrenalin]

Winter olympics are fucking boring as bat shit.

Apart from the toboggan racing + ice hockey just dont give 2 shits.

I mean cross country on skies with a gun ( who fucking thinks of shit like that )

[zxz]

i liked dale begg-smith's interview - silver in mens moguls

everytime they tried to get him to get excited or bitchy about judging he just shot them down with a very down to earth comment

and everyone hanging shit on him coz he wasnt smiling during medal presentation.
you win gold last time and then you lose and come second... i wouldnt be either - not if i really wanted to be first

I hope the pingpingpingping dies in a chemical fire.


His companies are responsible for most of the spyware and malware found on the internet.
He cares nothing for this Country, Has never shown that he's a proud Aussie.
He left Canada because the team managers wanted him to focus on his skiing rather than his companies.

[Basic]

Most of? Wow, fucking wild claims there.

[Sevan]

the good news is 9 is putting a hold on all the retarded lycra-clad events long enough to screen 2 hours of top gear tonight. sweeet.

[Scaf]

Ohh Olympics, is that on is it?

[mitchy]

Yeh but despite paying about $200 a month for foxtel they want to charge another $50 just to watch the olympics.

no shit... and it went up to $65 if you didnt get in 'early'!

waste enough money on however many useless channels without paying $50 for 4 more.

[RMX]

Most of? Wow, fucking wild claims there.

Maybe most of was a wild claim.
But:


we are one of the highest traffic advertising agencies on the web. Our download partner does 100,000 software downloads a day. Adscpm.com does 20,000,000 pops a day.

20 Million popups a day, 100,000 infected downloads a day.

He's a pingpingpingping.

[schnoods]

^^fkn oath.


My old man's laptop had something chronic on it, my brother did a bit of research to try and get rid of the fkn thing, his name turned up and showed him in his eskimo gear.
Damn imitation americans...

[wadragracing]

Winter Olympics coverage is just hopeless on Nine. I'm not sure how you can turn something that is normally interesting to watch into utter shit.

Last night it was Eddie McGuire, stock footage, ad, show two runs on downhill, ad, Eddie McGuire, ad, few snowboarders, ad. I watched the fish documentary on SBS instead which was actually pretty interesting.

[DanWA]

Cause they are showing it for free... you want proper coverage pay for it on Foxtel.

Agreed on the fish documentary!

[Alt_F4]

Someone shoot Eddie please...

[RMX]

Fuck Ch9 fail again!

As if leave USA V Canada ice hockey for Bobsleigh! pingpingpingpings!

[[FFOUR]]

I'll be downloading the Canada v USA and Russia v Czech Rep. ice hockey games from today this arvo, but huge clashes!! Fuck Channel 9 and their coverage.

[tahni]

are there any live streams of it does any one know? ie. Canada vs USA

[[FFOUR]]

tahni, not sure about live streams but I downloaded the HD version from http://www.nhltorrents.co.uk/

I won't spoil the result, but very good game - worth watching.

[DanWA]

And you can always watch it live on Foxtel if it means that much to you! or tape it with IQ.

[[FFOUR]]

Or get it for free off the net. :)

[TJ]

justin tv was showing some of it the other night - try it

[RMX]

Just finished watching a Russian feed of the Germany Canada game..
Game was a little one sided, Bring on Canada V Sweeden
