      Someone's been vandalising France's high speed rail network ahead of the Opening Ceremony.

        What did you think of the offside call?

        Sections of the Moroccan fans throwing stuff on the pitch including fire crackers. Pretty appalling.

          Call was correct IMHO

          Fans were bang out of order

              Experienced sports journalists who have been covering big events for 20-30 years are saying they've never seen a security presence like the one in Paris today.

                            One of the smaller nations looked like they'd been floated in on a more modern Scuffy the Tugboat.

                              I'm watching some dance show featuring a huge woman with a TV aerial on her head acting as DJ.

                              Seriously weird.

                                I lasted about 25 minutes. I thought it was incredibly dull.

                                      Concept sounded great, and lots going on. But it looks like they managed a for-TV spectacle that just doesn't quite work. Well, at least not in the scheme of past Olympic opening ceremonies.
