Bastards have not only blocked the video but have penalised my account until it's removed! It's a 20 second video of a mascot, hardly like I'm broadcasting an event out to the world. No wonder we're going down the ******* in the UK

You posted an Olympic video ? Barricade your door and hide under your table, the IOC will be out to get you.

And the number of foreign players in the premiership is enormous... Blocking only the very best British players from getting there, or limiting the playing time of others that do make it. The National Team, or GB team, then suffers.

Not really, any English players good enough can get through by playing in the lower leagues which are actually a very high standard despite what some are saying. When Beckham left for MLS many people were saying it was the equivalent of our division 3 or 4.

I will agree with you that some English players get limited playing tine due to foreigners. Man City bought Rodwell today who will now rot on the bench. The English team is actually rated 3rd in the world and for its not very big population, is actually pretty good,

I wonder who channel 4 have got to be pundits and presenters for the paralympics then? when the had the world championships on last year they had Otis Deley presenting and he was awful!!

I hope they don't cram adverts into it.

Fair play to the BBC the coverage has been excellent. Glad they were in charge of it. 👍

There are plenty of good British players in the Premier League and the lower divisions.
Like all European countries though, players play in foreign countries.

The only reason we get a lot of talented foreign players in the Premier League is due to it being one of the most prolific in the world. Thats good for home-grown talent because of money spent on it. It means clubs can set up training academies and run junior teams.

But of course, the "talent is blocked" by the dirty foreigners.

The only reason the GB team suffers is due to the restrictions on the over-23's playing and because the Olympics is not anywhere near the pinnacle of professional football. Quite simply no one cares about a gold medal in football. They care about the UEFA Champions League, the World Cup, the Euro..the Premier League..the FA Cup...

Yeah it's the Olympic Committee at work. Probably anything with London 2012 gets an automatic look or block.

Run from your TV, run as fast as you can.

 

[Robin]

Simon Cowell's equivalent of Skynet. I'm surprised your in the UK and haven't heard of them?

Gosh why does every global event need people dancing with dustbin lids Great looking stage though.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So that was the first time youve seen or heard them??

Are you annoyed by them yet??

 

[Tired Tyres]

Stomp had a show over here in the Philippines not too long ago, they charged ridiculous amounts of money just for rhythmic banging of dustbins.

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Big up the Kinks!

Quite enjoying this so far except for 1 direction, having them was just madness. Hope the Spice Girls aren't playing ...

[Robin]

Lovely seeing all those flags in one place. Makes Earth feel so homely (yes I am originally from earth).

hologram Freddie.

That would be epic.

 

[Biffy]

Bring on Queen and hologram Freddie.

I wish.

I heard Brian May is playing with someone, judging by past collaborations that could be anyone, including the Spice Girls. But, still Muse and The Who to look forward to. Plus Elbow playing their greatest song right now.

Edit: Quick, take pictures, the French are waving British flags! You'll never see that again!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

This is Elbows best song!!

One day like this..just beautifull!!!
