SABC2 have just managed the WORST ever coverage of a cycle race I have EVER seen. They chopped backwards and forwards in the race, then 2/3 thru went to studio for comments, then went back to earlier in the race so we had to listen all over to the same commentary and then they didn't finish the race but switched to a 2 minute summary of the race.

What's worse is there's no email address on sabc2's site to inundate with complaints.

@#$%@^@!!!

for someone that understands volleyball, why does each team have a player dressed in different kit to the other team mates?

It will be a loss for mankind if Italy doesn't make it through. At least my PVR will keep it for prosperity.

Ah the player is a Libero. See page 43 of the regs.

Exactly, my blood was boiling on Saturday - the whole production, package was disasterous. Man i was swearing at the telly. It was hopeless.

The highlights they show are not packaged properly at all.

I want to throw a grenade at my TV

I'm a bit concerned about the hockey sides. - mens and woman....

10 - NIL
 
I'm not sure where else to ask, so can any1 inform me who won between Federer and Blake?
 
Is it just me or is China winning a few controversial medals?
 
China leading far by concerning the Gold medals, wow they must have trained their ass'es off for this Olympics.
 
Im really shocked to see Zimbabwe with some medals and S.A shyteall. Damn we must be some useless country when we have so much more resources than Zim. f'kin joke ....
 
But why are we so bad this year?
The swimmers say there was to much political interference, what does that mean?

We are bad because the swimmers are not black, and thats probably why theres political interference. Before you had to be white now you have to be black :mad:

why do you think they using drugs ?

There are a few countries i associate with drugs - and China is one of them.

With regards to SA bombing out on medals - the bottom line is money. There is an incredible amount of baggage (this comes in the form of money and division on racial lines) SA has to deal with, that spending what other countries can and do is not an option.

Thats correct, black people cant swim.

My country of birth have the problem of no decent athletes because the population is mainly whities. Aboriginals make up only about 2 or 3% of the population - and its the abos that are needed for running. And hence the lack of medals on the track.

I see the white people running at the olympics and think they should just run home cause they dont have much chance of winning.
