Re: Commonwealth Games
What do you mean by at these games? They never have been.
English is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.

Re: Commonwealth Games
I think the coverage on free to air tv has been appalling - since early this morning ( 430 am ) all I have seen are two couch experts, constant interviews of Australian athletes, and their coaches, families, next door neighbours etc etc ., and to see some of the events without interruption would make a nice change.
Just wondering, is the coverage any better on foxtel ? is it their fault sporting coverage on free to air commercial tv has declined over the years ?

Ok sorry TEAM GB then - Great Britain (GBR) is the team that sends athletes from the United Kingdom (UK), all but three of its overseas territories and the three Crown dependencies, to the Olympic Games.

Re: Commonwealth Games
Congratulations to ex Cumberland player, Alex Edmondson and his sister Netty on their gold and silver medals.
Great kids and Dad Steve will be chuffed.

Re: Commonwealth Games
agree any sport on TV is brilliant, we have been lucky with the world cup finishing and the Games starting and then shortly all the leagues in Europe kick off.
I was watching the hockey late last night and seriously those guys have some serious skill and guts, anyone on here play and if so what's it like on your back?
PS i would much rather have watched the womes hockey
