Who are you most looking forward to seeing?
For me it's Euan Burton in the Judo.
Would love him to do well after his devastating disappointment at the 2012 Olympics.
Apart from that I will dip in and out watching a bit of everything
This week's Radio Times is full of great articles and useful info/timetables on the Commonwealth Games.
It's worth buying if you don't normally do so.

If the in running betting is as good as the Olympics then I'll be happy and pay it some attention.

Salmond has kidnapped the games for his own good. Sick of it already and it hasn't even started.

BB Try picking up a newspaper that has Salmond's weee smug face smiling out at you from every page.
The sleekit wee bugg3r will embrace every famous sportsperson to ensure more photos. |

does that include Ally Macleod?
|
|
By:
Well as Ally died 10 years ago I wouldn't think so.

I'm looking forward to the Games and Wee Sunshine's scheme to hijack them will only backfire ... like his scheme to introduce the 16 year old vote to the independence debate did.
Politics aside, I'm looking especially forward to seeing how Dear Old Glesga Toon looks now - it's been a few years since I was last there. Great people. Great city. |

Men's track events should be quite strong, you've got the kenyans at middle and long distances plus Mo Farah, plus the Jamaican sprinters and the best squad of GB men's sprinters we've ever had, that could possibly challenge the sprint relay powerhouses in a year's time. The top 2 in the world in the women's heptathlon, which should see the emergence of GB's new star of athletics for the next decade.

Looking forward to seeing Tommy Toes in the Marathon, until he takes a wrong turn

David Bryant and Tony Allcock must be hot favourites to win Gold in the Lawn Bowls Pairs.

Looking forward to seeing Zoe Smith and Michaela Breeze in the weightlifting.
Really hoping Zoe can win a medal. |

I'm going up for some athletics. Mate of mine got selected for the marathon, so will go up and cheer him on in his first major games. Biggest problem for the Commonwealths though is the media building them up to be the Olympics, which clearly they aren't. A bit of honesty and hype reduction is required, and there's still plenty of good sport to watch.
|
|
By:
Yes, Danno. They have made a huge fuss in the Radio Times. You would think it was the Olympics again.
It's all good tho' I'm going to have to do some in depth study to make sure I don't miss the events I want to see. |

By:
Euan Burton competes on Friday afternoon between 1.45pm and 3.00pm, according to the RT.
I'm going to have to get my @rse out of bed early to make sure I've done everything, shopping, gym etc. and that I'm back home to watch it, in case he's on first. It would be great if he and Gemma Gibbons could both win Gold  |

Tonight 10.45 BBC1 - Sir Chris Hoy: How To Win Gold
He talks to Sir Steve Redgrave, Andy Murray, Rebecca Adlington, Lennox Lewis and Graeme Obree Should be good I don't know who Graeme Obree is  I will find out. |
|
By:
He is a Scottish racing cyclist.
I expect I'm the only one who didn't know that. |
|
By:
Built his own bike too and used it to take the 1 hour distance covered world record, before Chris Boardman took it from him.
Really interesting guy with plenty of personality issues. |
|
By:
Not as much as former King of the Mountains Robert Miller who is now a woman.
|
|
By:
Graeme had a nervous breakdown. Quite eccentric to say the least.
The bike he built had parts out of a washing machine. No jokes about a quick spin please. |
|
By:
Despite my earlier excitement, I'm now feeling a bit flat about the CWG.
Not helped by the fact I've just set my recorder for the judo events tomorrow and Friday but don't expect I'll get anything. I think the coverage will be very hit and miss, depending on how our home competitors are doing. I wish we had equestrian sports and tennis in these games. |

Blimey, I sound like a right miserable old cow

The bumptious prat Salmond has just been on the One Show talking about it.
|
|
By:
Awful what he did with the Scottish flag when Andy won Wimbledon.
|
|
By:
Andy not happy about it either.
|
|
By:
I much prefer the Olympics when we're competing as Team GB.
I like to think of us as one big happy family  |
|
By:
I'll buy into that. Maybe we could have a group hug.
Better Together. |

Always had a soft spot for the Commonwealth games , ever since watching Filbert Bayi , John Walker , Ben Jipcho , Big Bren and co run what I still think in the greatest athletics race of all time in Christchurch 1974.
And my all time fav Steve Ovett adding a 5,000 metres Gold medal to his haul in Edinburgh. |
|
By:
John Walker was a regular at Crystal Palace back in the day 626, saw him run many times. The same ere as the likes of Eamonn Coughlan running the 5000.

This has almost zero interest for me, and the betting on here reflects that. About £24 traded on everything.

snap, managed to avoid all of it so far

It's a struggle though. Even had it on in 'spoons.

I have had such a busy day I haven't yet had chance to catch up with the CWG.
Have Gemma Gibbons or Euan Burton competed in the Judo yet? I'm hoping to be able to watch the games all tomorrow afternoon |
