Bring back Grandstand BBC.

Saturday afternoons of all sorts of sports that you simply don't see on TV these days.

Let the Premiership and the like that brings in the big advertising revenue be on Sky,

but for all the stuff like Handball, Volleyball, BMX etc that you don't see anywhere, lets be having it please

[Graham C]

Olympics really has been the greatest show on Earth, BBC have done fantastic with their coverage, couldn't have asked for more.

Going to miss it too.  Back to crappy old football for the next 10 months.

No chance.

Sports fans watch Jeff Stelling and the crew on Saturday afternoons now.

Nothing can touch it.

I don't it's shite, and most of my mates would watch something else too if there was a choice. That's the problem, all the money has gone down one rabbit hole and its not a good thing unless your a footy fan.

I like loads of sports I just hate footy.

Saying it's shite is pretty stupid, it's a million times better than it's competition, you may not like it but it isn't shite.

Anyway, take this over to the shit Olympics thread that some moron made plz, only positivity should be in this thread for the greatest games ever.

If its my opinion how can it be stupid, unless you think I'm stupid?

Football has robbed me of other sports, the only other sports I watch is boxing and snooker. These Olympics have profoundly changed my outlook on sport. I hope this will be the catalyst for more robust exposure of all sport on TV.

The thought of watching thick as pigshit millionaires not trying on the pitch, when I have been exposed to intelligent hard working olympians giving it their all for probably no money, seems mundane.

Seeing partisan crowds abusing opposition teams (and their own players), when I've seen amazing crowds cheer EVERYONE participating, will be hard to go back to.

Watching Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson reviewing the action, instead of Michael Johnson, no thanks.

I'm sure I'll get back into the footy, especially if Wednesday get a reasonable start, but it just seems very lukewarm after all this. Didn't even realise the community shield was on until a few seconds ago.

My ears are still ringing from the roar in the stadium for mo's last lap, most excited I've ever been at a live sporting event. Scottish guys next to me crying while belting out god save the queen I shall never forget. Gonna miss the olympics.

[MahoganyVic]

Amazing performance by Mo.

Prob watched at least 12 hours a day every day, gonna prob start crying once its all over. Suffer badly from post-tournament depression after every euro's/ world cup and this is gonna be ten time worse.

By the way, what was Mo's wife looking so pissed off about when he went over to her after winning gold? Mo looked a bit upset for a while afterwards

I noticed that, there is no wonder he likes going on long runs away from the house.
