o/t Commonwealth Games Opener

[OhSitDown]

Only half watching as checking Blackpool’s Twitter feed every few seconds, but this feels like a bad episode of It’s a knockout!

 

[TheOldKop]

Not a sell out

 

[AllezBlackpool]

Is it being held at Stanley Park?

 

[TheOldKop]

Clueless eejit

 

[Johnno]

Half the viewers in this country must be thinking wtf.
God knows what the rest of the Commonwealth are thinking!

 

[Macseasider]

Just put it on for 2 mins and then put the cricket back on. Utter pretentious weird bollocks.

 

[boabthebetter]

Absolute drivel. Turned off after about 30 seconds. Prancing tree hugging prats!

 

[dave1772]

prob same sort of people who moaned about the art on the prom, like my dad.

 

[clappers]

We are having a moment of calm and reconciliation with a load of diverse individuals waving electric fake torches at a an oversized metal bull and there are a load of banshee like women in chains.

Modern athletics eh?!!

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

Must admit that I am getting bored.

 

[Johnno]

We’re lucky we’ve got commentators telling us the meaning of this, people in the crowd must be baffled!

What I’ve learned about Birmingham - some sports club called the Peaky Blinders dug some canals and put a big fire out, and Brummies worship a bull god.

 

[Chishandfips]

Jesus this is woeful .. England’s second city my arse!

 

[mad-link]

Amazon-esq women in chains? Sounds pretty good to me.

 

[TheOldKop]

It’s Laura Kenny now!

 

[Bloodtangerine]

Didn’t see a second of it, looks like I made a wise decision

 

[Beedar]

So bad it's almost laughable

 

[Next Goal WIns]

Its ok, here come Duran Duran, fresh from Lytham Festival.....

It’s the commentators that are annoying me. Keep staring at the cameras and not the people they’re talking to. One of them just turned away from the girl he was talking to, thanking her while looking straight at the camera. Don’t they get any training? Oh for the good old days when we had professional commentators.

 

[SEASIDE2020]

I'd probably be more womens football than Commonwealth Games but you don't get Duran Duran at the womens football.

I didn't see them but they are getting slaughtered on Twitter.

You can't beat a bit of Planet Earth.

Watched it because my old school chum is the coach to The Barbados squash team and saw him on my telebox so was happy about that. As an aside to any punters on here he says both the male and female new zealand favourites in the betting are both nailed on to win so worth the double, you will not get rich at around 7/4 for the double but worth an interest.....

 

[Long-shanks]

Just watched the 3 minute highlights on the bbc. Defo wasnt for me - lots of weird arty actor shizzle going on. All the people on the diversity BBC checklist was defo checked though which is good news.
