Commonwealth Games 2010

No one cares anymore

We have 400 gold medals already.

But i want mooooooooooooreeeeeeee.

You're right though. This is why i don't wanna become a republic

Best reason i've heard so far!

Australia beating the bejesus out of a few third world countries.

Not funny at all.

Congratulations to Tom Daley, two gold medals in the diving 

F**k, we've fallen behind the English in the table.
Still got a gold medal to win in Hockey though.

That semifinal game against England was more than its money value. Electrifying.

74 gold medals, double the Poms.

Over. After 2 weeks of good games.

Glad we managed to pull it through in the end, but gutted and well, slightly embarrassed that we left it to the last minute.

In the end, it turned out to be pretty decent tournament I think. Wasn't supposed to be Olympics standards anyway.

But I was just going through this article in 'The Australian' and couldn't help but laugh and be bemused at the negative comments.
Really, some of these papers just need to see the positive side too sometimes.
 
Cheap and uncalled for comments don't help either.

Forget the run-up to the games. The main event was good, and that is what matters in the end, and India lived upto it.

It actually wasn't that bad. The other night, I wasn't being allowed to go to sleep because there were interesting events coming up - the India-England hockey game, the 4x400 track events and the Javelin and Women's pole vault.

Plus, Australia slaughtered the rest of the pack.

Only because you lot are bloody fishes, how many medals did you win in the swimming?

Think its about 20-25 odd in swimming - still more golds in other events than your gold total

Really enjoyed watching the Netball this morning between New Zealand and the Aussies

It went to extra extra time and New Zealand just pipped the Aussies for the gold !!

Aussies and NZ netball is always a good fight. Pipped to the gold, but no pride lost. Wish i coulda watched it!

They were saying that the girls are household names in Aus and NZ, it was a cracking game, and as I used to play a lot of Netball myself, I appreciated how good it really was.

Oh yeah, Netball has a pretty good following in both countries. My mum and sister both played, and had a girlfriend that played, so i appreciate the sport. Even had a go in PE once in highschool, and its fun. The whole not moving thing when you get the ball takes a lot of getting used to!

Didn't look to good in the skirt though. Should have thought that through better.

Haven't watched any of the Commonwealth Games, but can I just mention a big well done to local Huyton lad Tom Stalker winning Gold in the boxing.

News coming in of vandalism by some Australian athletes.

Apparently, some Aussie athletes were watching the India-Australia test match. Following Australia's loss, they got all loopy and started destroying furniture and electrical appliances. It seems they threw the washing machine and all from the 8th floor.

Talk about sore losers.
