The cycling team of Sri Lankans are taking their practise seriously and aiming for 70mph speeds.

Four members of Sri Lanka's Commonwealth Games cycling team sparked a police response after going for a ride down the M74 before police intervened near the exit for Motherwell and Hamilton and informed them they were breaking the law

Not hopeful of England doing well. Katarina JT out with foot injury, Chambers not running and I think a couple of others not taking part. Reckon it will be Australia top, Canada second and Jamaica third.

Mark you are too much of a pessimist old boy.

I was looking at the TV schedules earlier... almost wall-to-wall BBC coverage from early morning to late night.

Ah well, there are other channels showing something I might like to watch.

Opening ceremony tonight at Celtic park and I'm close by. Been hearing the Police helicopters all evening already. Pain in the bum.

We will be watching it quite a bit but its a bit unfair for some that they have decided to put wall-to-wall coverage on BBC 1 as to me it should be on one of their other channels.

Why do you think it shouln't be on BBC One?

Its the third biggest sporting event around and a lot of people will be watching. So for me it should be on the nations biggest main channel.

Sorry Stephen but there are also many who do not like sports at all and as such most of the BBC1's schedule should remain sports free and their sports coverage should go on to one of their other channels or they should set up a sports channel in which they can put their wall-to-wall sports coverage on.

well there are still many other channels to watch with the BBCs programmes on.

Also when normal programming is on you can select the red button to watch all the other sports that are going on.

Just started watching the opening on BBC, what a load of rubbish talk before it starts, Billy Connelly was the only one worth listening too,

Is this meant to get the Scots to vote no to independence ?

**Damien** · 23-07-2014, 21:11

I think someones vomited up everything Scottish....what on earth is this?

nashville · 23-07-2014, 21:23

I am so ashamed of the start of this performance, surely
It will get better,
