Left Back Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 15 minutes ago, Bully Wee Villa said: My main hopes for the games are that Scotland finish top five, or at the very least above Wales, and England finish above the Aussies at the top of the medal table. Anyone know if these are likely to come to fruition? Heard last night England have only topped the medal table twice in umpteen canteen years. Ironically both times the games were hosted in Scotland. Surprised me tbh. I assumed they'd probably have the edge over the Aussies in most games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if these are likely to come to fruition? It's always a fight between England and Australia, and this time is likely to be no different. Scotland being 5th is possible, not sure about likely. Will need at least 10 golds I think to be as high as 5th. Top 10 is a realistic aim. 5th would probably be a brilliant games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finished 8th in the last games, 4th in Glasgow and 10th in the games before that so probably unlikely I would say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Scotland off the mark with a bronze for Beth Potter in the women's triathlon. Gold for Bermuda, silver for England, same 1-2 as the Olympics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England team is very strong for that although Scotland and Wales have some gold medal expectations there as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 And another silver, missed it waiting for a taxi... I think that's Scotland top of the medal table? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I know hee-haw about gymnastics* but the last Scottish boy on the rings looked really good imo. * until the BBC do their usual guide, then I’ll be an expert for the next couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useless BBC c***s. It stuck for 2 minutes for me there as well, in which time we appear to have scored 2 tries. Iplayer has been a bit intermittent both on the 7s and the hockey all day Currently 43-12 up with 2 mins left 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 2 good wins for Scotland men in the 7s today, but the big one against South Africa tomorrow morning. The women were a bit unlucky against Fiji, but then got pummelled by Australia, though tbf, those two would be among the favourites for the Gold. They also play SA tomorrow in their last group game. Scotland men about to play NZ in the hockey - will be a tough shift, but we do have a chance. It will be really odd to see Scotland without the recently retired Kenny Bain though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 It's a P&B trope to complain about officials, but the Umpire and video umpire getting the new aerial rule wrong cost us the corner for the 2nd goal, and lost us our review. That meant we couldn't review the blatantly wrong decision that gave them the corner for their 3rd. We've crumbled since then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith_94 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Cruelly chalked one off for us in first half too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
