Irishman gives expert Olympic sailing commentary [VIDEO]

Quote:

This Irish sailing commentator’s analysis of a contentious Olympic race is utterly priceless.

The video contains expert analysis of the race, such as “the race is looking very close… and confusing” and “it’s a very confusing scene here we don’t know who’s in the lead.”

He points out the “idiots watching from the sidelines… there’s a lot of f***ers there for what is essentially a very, very boring sport.”

As Belarus’ sailboat appears, the commentator notes, rightly, that “they are not so good on the water it seems… questionable human rights records for that country as well.”

Watch the clip until the very end — we promise the payoff is worth it.

Video contains slightly offensive language if you have no sense of humor.

I had a Sailfish when I was a kid. I can't believe anyone races them.

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

Yeah, for me the Olympics is a waste of 2 weeks of TV.

I am fed-up to the back teeth, with this whole Olympic malarkey!

Every day, when I turn on my radio and TV, I am bombarded with Females wetting their knickers, and Males soiling their pants, and Sports-casters/Newscasters, etc, having heart attacks with excitement, over a group of oversized school children playing silly games, when all I want to do is listen to some music on my Radio, or watch a film, or World news on my Television.
None of that is possible at the moment, until all this annoying, minute by minute, media bedlam ceases!
No-one asked me if I wanted to pay the Licence Fee to listen to, or watch all this annoying stuff, occupying all the British Radio and TV Channels.
I will be forever glad when its all over, and everyone goes back home again, and the country, and the rest of the World returns to peace, quiet, and sanity again!

"Rome" was a long time ago...forget it now!

Paul....Trawling through the Radio Channels...trying to find some relaxing music while I Sim-fly...without success!

My kids have been interested so I did take them up there for a day. They enjoyed it and if it inspires them then I'm all for it.
Otherwise I'm not too bothered either way.
That said Winter Olympiads are cool, I love bobsleds and skiing. Only ever had a go at the latter, alas.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

The best commentary of the Olympics has to have been a certain broadcaster, who, with the appearance of a certain Sir Tim Berners-Lee during the opening ceremony, said:

"If you don't know who he is, well, we don't know either. Go and google him"...

If you don't know who Sir Tim Berners-Lee is, go and google him. You'll soon understand! Grin
