I just wanted to make a separate thread to shout out the optus kick off show for euro.

It's fun it's entertaining and it's informative they have it made it so watchable for me. Paramount can learn a lot from it 

Optus S has been brilliant for years.
They present football very well worth the $$ imo

It’s a no from me if it features that tool Claudes or any of his Gen Y-Eurosnob clique(Adamo, Kat Sasso etc.)

Fck those clowns.

I love you for speaking your mind.

Claude hosts it but Bridgey really runs the show with his banter and insight. They have so many people involved I don't think you'd notice claudes 

ah I don't bother watching those kick off shows so hence I don't or hardly know of the ones BA81 mentions.
I set the alarm pretty much 10/15mins prior to koff seeing the anthems and line ups and make a caffee.
Then in between games to date there is this long haired blonde young lass who is a bit painful but hearing Ninko I enjoy, I'm afraid Scott M isn't much chop imo.
The cross live feeds to MS is ok pre other games.
Main thing is the games - and you can review anything with ease, P+ is light years behind Optus.

It's not the preshow. It's the daily kick in show they do it morning it's a good show that's all I'm saying Paramount could learn a lot 

ah ok cool, therefore BA81 got nothing to worry about, just don't watch it :)
MCG P+ have shown they don't have the care or budget so without the mooola improvements are hard to implement.
