America's Cup

[jasonu]

Not a one-off. Ever listened to the commentary for any local motorbike racing??

That Tony Palmer was a real fucking cock.

[Berries]

Peter Lester comes out with alsorts of technical bits about the boats.

Is he the one who comes out with "Go you good thing"?

Most here would be too young to have ever heard "Winston McCarthy" the famous/infamous rugby commentator post WW2! (got caught out and fired in the end)

"wait for it......its a goal" - that guy? Yeah I remember him.

Yep thats the one .... he started influencing selections by falsely building up certain players in his commentaries but they got onto him and he got the shove!

i think you'll find he got the boot after the '56 Melbourne Olympics. Did a live commentary on the 50K road walk. When Read won, after it was over, thinking the mike was off, he said "wonderful what a pom can do on mutton and milk"....end of career.
I remember the old man laughing at that for days.

Do you think they will remove those two square things on the back of the boat to lighten it up a bit?...they're obviously not helping in any and are just extra weight.

Yeah, he was full of shit and I often think (listening to) Peter Montgomery, he is full of the same stuff!

Not sure if they are pie warmers or bar leaners.

You can't be dissing Sir Dean Barker in this thread surely?

[awa355]

I have been told that there are no more rest days. That the teams have to race each day from now. Not sure if that is correct.

[Kiwi Graham:Me]

With any luck it wil be all done and dusted by today

[Swoop]

A very nice last race.

Let's go match racing instead of drag racing!

[Mental Trousers]

The boats and the teams are so close now it's all down to who wins the start and I think Oracle have the port side for the next race.

[onearmedbandit]

Racing postponed.

[leathel]

Racing postponed.

and just as we got a upset win in the start.... assuming no penalty protest... But no put of for another day.. Another day where work is hindered
