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.

Oh god, forgot about her. Is she still doing cringey 5-1 signs?

Probably and I believe she’s failed to win her race yet again. Failed football supporter and failed trumped up athlete.

She did it when she failed to win gold again yesterday, cringetastic.

She got horsed this morning, not even close.

Anyone see the Paralympic 100m female final? Lassie won by a country mile with a world record. I’m wondering how they categorise them though cos some there looked to be a big discrepancy between her and her competitors.

Get in there.

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.

Im clearly living in my own little world then. If said ads are on BBC or ITV then its quite possible I have missed them to be honest. Hardly watch those channels at all.

That’s what training on an icy Portobello beach and in a farmer’s barn does for you.

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 certainly does, but he's not normally like that or didn't used to be. Dotes on his gran, she was the main reason he took up swimming apparently. I see Duncan Scott won a gold medal for Scotland in the 100m freestyle.

[pontius pilate]

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!

I thought it was the mark of a winner tbh. He knows that he's better than that performance and is annoyed that he underperformed. Not settling for 'good' is just part of the make up of world class athletes.

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.

😂I'm having one of those days. IL get off my high horse😁

[Godsahibby]

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.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I watched the ladies singles squash final this morning - really good match. Incredible to think squash doesn’t qualify as an Olympic sport.

[overdrive]

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.

[lord bunberry]

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.

[heretoday]

They should have football at the C Games. We might win it.

[Greentinted]

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!

It is some achievement from Tattie.

He'd struggle a bit if he had to rush straight from his work to play his ties though.

2 down going into last end and scored a four. Fantastic result, the Aussie skip had a bowl/drive at the head too with his last bowl and still couldn't cut it down.
