I guess since there's no thread on this, I'm not the only one wondering if this is well past its sell by date?

I saw Eilidh Doyle the ****bo yoon mutant was the flag bearer and ignored it since.
This is very low key isnt it? I would consider myself a huge sports fan but didnt realise this was on until day two of the event. Anyway, enjoy all those competing and all those watching with interest.
the Basketball team are doing well, 2 from 2 including beating the Auld Enemy on Thursday.
another win and they are in the semi finals
Is it just me or does the swimmer Peaty come across as an utter cockwomble with his comments about his gold medal winning performance being substandard?
He is putting pressure on himself ( peaty) to be the first swimmer to go under 57 seconds for 100m. The only thing what’s annoyed me so far is the non impartiality from the beeb. Been an enjoyable games so far
I wish Claire Balding would gtf!
She is hopeless,but I can't see that, she ticks too many boxes. Apart from that I cannot understand why she is the main presenter these days. At least gabby Logan competed.
On a gender equality note,how come 3 women presenting the games yesterday. Imagine the uproar from the equality brigade if it was 3 men.
The Commonwealth Games just seems very pointless, athletes are competing to be the best in their chosen sport but in a restricted field!
Plus it will cost a huge amount to hold and it surely cant bring that much to the economy or future tourism to justify holding it.
I watched the ladies singles squash final this morning - really good match. Incredible to think squash doesn’t qualify as an Olympic sport.
I’m missing my old sport, judo, not being in it this year. It’s usually a sport Scotland does well at as well. I believe it’s being upgraded to a core sport at the next games though.
My daughter just watched the blind runners going the 100 meters. She couldn’t get her head around why they had another runner running alongside them. When I explained it, she asked why they didn’t use guide dogs. Children can be so cute sometimes.
They should have football at the C Games. We might win it.
Quite liking the fact that a fat, baldy auld boy has become Scotland’s most decorated Commie Games ‘athlete’.
Fair play tae the booler supreme...nae silly wristbands or inane sign lingo - take note fi a winner Mrs Doyle!
callum watkins approx 2 mins ahead in the marathon but he's all over the place, bumping into barriers, now fell, still got a mile and a half left, collapsed again, no medical help in sight fs, both commenators saying it's a disgrace
I would go a bit further and say it was an utter disgrace how long they took to get there. It was heartbreaking watching Hawkins, who would have been the deserved winner, but was starting to look delirious, fell over and stayed down for a few seconds before getting up and trying to continue for a while, only to collapse again. All this time and not a medic in sight. Absolutely disgraceful, and the Scotland team should make a formal complaint IMO.
our 7's just beat wales and now play australia for 5th place, our basketball gadgies beaten by new zealand for a bronze :(
mens squash doubles bronze match coming up between scotland and england
Where on earth is the help?'

Steve Cram
Commentator on the Gold Coast
He's hit his head on the barrier. I'm sorry if you're watching this at home, it's really distressing. He's going to hurt himself and there's nobody anywhere near.
We should have some more medical attention. This is a guy in real distress and someone needs to recognise it for his health at this point
.
Where on earth is the help? You cannot just wait at the finish line. They've got radios.
And finally somebody arrives. I think it's disgraceful.
btw, just how gawjus is the gold coast scenery and lovely blue sky :agree:
Fantastic games for Wales! Our best ever finish and nipped in just ahead of Scotland in the medal table!
Michael Johnson called it right. He said that as soon as it became obvious the lad was in distress he should have been immediately surveiled and medics and officials deployed to his location. That could have had a decidedly darker outcome had Hawkins sustained a head injury - the official statement is just an excercise in arse-covering.
quite impressed at the brum handover video :greengrin
