That was funny. I'm glad though it hasn't been all about him and others have had their moment in the spotlight although come the final I think they'll be hard to beat if they get the baton round

Think he is brilliant
So down to earth
Was great to the military guys in London
Saw a great documentary on him, pretty sure before 2012 Olympics and he came across as a decent guy with a lot to deal with and put up with too. Showed some of the training back in Jamaica and in bot the best of surroundings too.

Michelle Jennekke doing her normal warm up wiggle
Just seen Roache of Jamaica got the baton round the first leg with a pulled muscle. Super effort
Also loved the interview with Sharp the Scots lady who got silver in the 800m. She's had some season and a bit and all that poured out and more so in the medal ceremony

Judging by the lack of spectators, for the ladies cycling, early mornings aren't the done thing in Glasgow...

Many folk down south will think you are joking with that comment Dodger.
Those not in Church will be concentrating on tattie scones and Lorne sausages.

Scots fans cheering on English teams.........whatever next?
Meethinks the Commonwealth Games factor has backfired on the SNP.

Alternatively If Scotland says yes they won't get kicked out of the Commonwealth and as these games were about the Commonwealth Scotland has been able to see it's place in that body as a separate nation. And Scots were always going to cheer England - though thank the Lord football isn't in the CGames. Most Scots who boo or jeer England teams do so on the basis of England being the pantomime villain - it isn't that real for most of us.

Great to have seen the camaraderie amongst the home nations particularly at the gymnastics...
Really ought to call time on the shooting events... Is there any real interest outside of the competitors and their families?
Thought the inclusion of squash was an excellent decision and particularly enjoyed watching the doubles which I had not seen before...
Oh, and England finally won a penalty shootout...

Yes it was good to see England beat the Ossies in the medal table.
Scotland's swimmers were fantastic and a great medal haul.
Seeing Duggie MacLean upstage Kylie with a soft sound and a wee guitar was also a highlight for me, class act Duggie.

Wrong, Kylie's boots she had on at the start were the highlight of the show
TBH I thought it was a bit crap (apart from Kylie's boots). I'm sure they could have got some more contemporary Scottish groups in addition to whoever that synth trio were. I mean Deacon Blue all well and good, but that song was a very long time ago and I'm not sure anyone under the age of 35 will know it. Where were The Proclaimers when you needed them, I seriously thought they would have brought the house down.

As they say it's all a question of choice.
You didn't care for the shooting but at my local where many of the regulars are game shooters they enjoyed the shooting events and wished there had been more coverage.
Whilst at the golf club yesterday the consensus amongst 12-15 blokes (ages 32 to 65) was that, as a spectator sport, squash was like televised paint-drying.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Agree 100% - Kylie is a confection - Doogie MacLean the real deal. Also loved Karen Matheson singing Aye Fond Kiss and then over the credits singing the full version of Auld Lang Syne. And loved the Pipes and Drums - I note from the TA Forum that many want the Pipes & Drums reinstated at Hampden for Scotland matches.
Also reads this morning that Scotland/Glasgow might bid for a future Athletics World Championships. Hampden looked and worked brilliant as an athletics stadium.
