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.

Missed the event and just saw a re-run of young Erraid Davies winning bronze in the para 100m breaststroke.
Only 13 years of age this wee lassie fae the Shetland Isles was a joy to watch

It's fascinating reading through the medals table.
Maybe I should get out more

TBH Diva I prefer it when it is Team GB.
Hard at these games to ignore some of the other home countries athletes in favour of a Scot.
Great medals tally as you've pointed out, here's hopping we've many more to look forward to.
BETTER TOGETHER

Yes, we still have another week to go.
Will be interesting to see where our medals come from next week.

Missed the Squash Final and caught the result by accident....can't watch it in delay now with the same interest 
I have just read that Colin Oates won a Gold in his category in the Judo on the first day.
How did that pass me by? Congratulations to Colin.
I'm going to make an effort to follow Ashley McKenzie.
I remember seeing a documentary, a long while back, about him and his mum, and how he copes with his ADHD.
ADHD, is something I am interested in. It's an awful thing to have to live with and to try to overcome.
I wonder if Euan Burton will retire now he has won his Gold medal.
I think he came out of retirement for these CWG, maybe he will want to carry on again now.

Gemeli is such a likeable person, not sure why johnson hates him with a passion.
Just realised i spelt his name wrong but so did the mirror

Just found that Ashley McKenzie has a website
He just seems to be using it to sell his clothing range.

Very disappointing.

Brendan Foster having orgasms over a silver medal for England in that race.
It was 20 facking seconds slower than the world record.

Went into Glasgow's biggest library, they have about 60 PC's
the public can normally use but all 60 have been reserved
for people associated with the Games, needless to say only
a handful were being used.

No! they do a rather nice fried egg and potato scone roll in the café
adjoining the computer desks.

No, the citizens must be protected from deviant sites like Betfair.

It was faster than the Olympic final in 2012 though.
It's about racing and winning medals at games like these, not world records - save that for the Diamond League circus

Looks like Max Whitlock could lead England to medal table glory. Australia matched at 1.01 
Max gets the Gold and the crowd get 'Hey Jude'!!! to follow Jerusalem.
Bolt is almost right. It is ****. Like Pub football when the Olympics is Champions league.
I still can't understand why ex colonial countries want to be regarded as part of the British Commonwealth. Other than being ruled by Britain what do these countries have in common?
The GB's men's gymnastics team is mustard and just keeps getting better. European junior champions 6 times in a row. Far from fanciful to think they might be Olympic champions in two years time.
You don't have to have been ruled by Britain e.g. Mozambique.
At one time Israel was rumoured to be interested in joining,
no chance of that now.

This is the hotel the BBC Block booked for Lineker and co

Just watched a few minutes of table tennis.
The way they serve cracks me up every time.

An' I would walk ten... thousand miles.....ter...ra...uh...ter...ra...uh !
England bound to come top of the medals table now despite been backed at 30 plus.
Loving the way the athletes are interacting with the crowd, great to see and the athletes are loving it, even the selfies
Canada v Australia in the semi finals of the women's table tennis doubles. All four players born in China
What a farce ffs
All the English players born in England

Anybody just watch that fight with Walsh and Nicola Adams?.....How that Irish lass think's she was robbed i will never know.
Yep...Complete lack of class from Walsh gobbing off about being cheated.Close fight but Adams just edged it for me....and more importantly the judges.
The Beeb's nauseating coverage of an athlete leading home the best team in a qualifying heat of a relay last night was dreadful.
Goodness knows what it will be like in the final.
40 years since the best 1500 metres race ever imo , Christchurch 74 , Bayi , Walker , Jipcho , Big Bren & co.

The beeb already counting down to the appearance of the man who is only there to satisfy his sponsors truelly sicking.
Just brill...shouted more in this race than any other..not bad for an old bird!
me too, expected her to fold about three times but she was n't having any of it...
Me too, thought she would never comeback and the other 3 were cruising.
Looked like she just got a bit more detached at the last bend than she wanted otherwise it would of been silver..fantastic effort though
I love the way they take time to sign, smile and pose for selfies. A real awareness of their role unlike so many other sportspeople who are rushing and just sign with an initial.
totally agree injera, been very pleasing to see, cant imagine other sports people giving a crowd so much time.
Jo Pavey , what a star , ran herself into the ground......not sure the younger members of the team can say the same.
sunglasses in the rain, he rallied jo pavey stylieeee
that kid is massive talent, should've waited but still good enough...
Fk me seen this kid divinf, matthew dixon. 14yo but looks about 10.
Sally Peake going well.
I've been finding myself cheering on the Welsh, Irish and, worst of all Scots. Should I be seeking professional help?

Hudson Smith looks completely bemused, he could win gold in individual 400m at Europeans in a fortnight surely?
Agree, looks like he's had no media training and is just amazed at the whole thing.
Refreshing to see.

Lyndsey Sharp and Jo Pavey, took my breath away, incredible will and strength of character. absolutely brilliant. cheers.
what a sensational cycling road race.
Geraint Thomas wins despite a puncture on the last lap.

Agreed cat, but 8? Hours of cycling on BBC1....there will be complaints
"I've been finding myself cheering on the Welsh, Irish and, worst of all Scots. Should I be seeking professional help?"
No. I've been doing the same.
It's all Team GB as far as I'm concerned.
Roll on the next Olympics, when we're all in together again

The crowds have been cheering on all the athletes but especially the home nations. So maybe now we can dispel the myth that the Scots hate the English, although we do love to beat you.
Try to catch the Charlie Flynn interview on utube. Hilarious but some of you might need subtitles. "No what I mean man ".

We can continue to cheer on each others athletes as good neighbours without being in a political union.
wasn't too enamoured before it started but have really enjoyed the games, especially since the proper sports started like ping pong.
