    Tell me about it... i'm running a live site down in circular quay and have to spend all fricken day listening to their contrived and 'try hard' expert opinions non-****ing-stop and they are playing the shittest selection of sports.

    In the football last night, ALL they could do was scream players names. they offered no insight in to the game and pretty much just had orgasms when ever an argentinian touched the ball. Ugh!

    Anyhoo, if anyone wants to come check it out come on down!

    I won't watch 7's coverage. Everytime I put it on there is a stupid Ad on or some fool sitting at a desk chatting about past events that have taken place so what the hell is the point of watching it.

    Thanks SBS is all I can say.

    The coverage ****ing shits me. All this swimming and boxing on at 11:30/ midnight etc. Then yesterday showing excessively long stints of the womens cycling road race... It was boring as ****- in the rain, a bunch of bitches on two wheels having a chat until someone finally sprints in the last 100m to take the win...lame.

    Now its the ****ing equestrian..... Thank God there's some boxing 3:50pm this arvo on SBS :good

    Im at home now, loving the swimming coverage on 7.

    SBS played a lot of decent boxing last night and even though they arent always showing ozzies, they are showing some good tussles in water polo, volleyball and hockey which I dont usually watch but they are exciting nonetheless.

    Yeah I saw a slightly scrappy, but very good welterweight tussle on sbs this arvo, but have missed the rest of the coverage cos most is on at some silly hour

    SBS pisses on 7 from a great height.

    Im actually originally from the UK and the coverage is a ****load better there. Theres interactive free to air television so you can have a fair bit of choice over the events you watch.

    Channel 7 is just showing anything with an Aussie in no matter how wank it is :/

    The boxing and the gymnastics are the 2 things Id really liek to watch and so far Ive seen **** all of either. SBS is currently showing mens volleyball which is actually suprisingly entertaining to watch.

    Actually the other thing thats ****ing annoying me is the adverts:

    Firstly channel 7 only appears to have 3 different adverts. All of which have ****ing irritating jingles with them, and they are on way way too often. I was watching the Oz Vs Argies game the other night, and they really managed to ruin my enjoyment of it by constantly playing the same 3 adds every 5 minutes. The half is only 45 minutes long for ****s sake, cant you wait til half time?
