    What?

    The British have a long tradition of appropriating Irish successes as their own.

    All of the other acts played tonight were British, so why U2?

    Scrap the cap!

    No one else annoyed about the inclusion of an Irish band on the British soundtrack?? Along with the "Isles" comments, you can really feel the respect for Ireland as a separate nation, can't you?

    Loved the whole thing. It made proud to be Britain's neighbour/& former cousin. The history part managed to point out the best things about Britain without ever veering towards empire triumph. Th British really should be proud of this.

    Former cousin? Did we "cousin divorce" them or something?

    Ah no, it's been a good show by them and I reckon they will do a great job hosting it.

    Were some of the Ukrainian athletes wearing fake Borat mustaches?

    In fairness half the band are British (not to mention the albums usually produced by Brits in Eno and/or Lilywhite).

    Ukrainian Judo champion - probably the last person in the world I'd want to get in a fight with. Probably end up clubbing you to death with your dismembered arm and putting the video youtube
