Not quite the Olympics but I'll still watch some of it. Deserves it own thread though.

This is fun-tells you what sports you'd be best at- Apparently I'm good at Athletics (Throws)- Discus here I come.

Don't get me wrong, Gary Lineker was a great footballer and a wonderful Spurs player but is anyone else getting fed up with seeing so much of him presenting?

Football yes, but why the Commonwealth Games? A Scottish presenter should have been at the helm imo.

A celebration of the British Empire/Commonwealth being held in Celtic Park for the first time since Rangers went bust.

This ceremony has been pretty poor, though I liked the nod to the Scottish comics. Grew up reading Dandy.

Quite enjoying this ceremony actually - incredibly cheesy and stereotypical, but that is why I love it.

Would have preferred Flower of Scotland to God Save the Queen though, simply because it's just a better anthem

They say that the organisers of this ceremony had 1/8th of Danny Boyle's 2012 budget. I rather reckon it was more like an 1/8th of skunk.

I wonder what pissed the Green Brigade off more - Celtic Park rising for the Queen, the British Army Pipers, the playing of God Save the Queen or the Red Arrows painting the sky above in red, white and blue?

Edit: Apparently a Union flag has been unfurled in the corner where the Green Brigade normally sit. Scotland I'm impressed, you make ISIS look rookie league when it comes to sectarianism.
