[Closed] Commonwealth opening ceremony

Looks like a children's play!

I love the Nessie, love the Tea Cakes, love the Broons, it's so strange hearing John Barrowman in a scottish accent though...

Apologies on behalf of all decent Scottish people. This is atrocious

Awful just awful

Oh dear 😕

I think its ok. Amazing how much stuff was created in Scotland.

I am not a real jock or weege, only an adopted one.

Rapidly backpedalling on my claimed Scottish heritage. Could they have made that intro more cliched? Just dreadful.

I started watching but it reminded me of a cheaper version of Children in Need. Watching Dirty Harry instead.

Not exactly the Olympics opening ceremony!

I'd be quite embarrassed if I was Scottish.....

Truly appalling!

i think it is good.....you miserable set of ****ers..... 😆

amy macdonald is ace.

Its shite being Scottish!

It's not as if the world is watching, the commonwealth games are in their death throws, no one is interested any more.

Should there be an interpreter about when the local accent is getting stronger? I don't understand a word. 😆

... spot those that consume plenty of deep fried Mars bar yet?

Crikey that bloke -> Rod Stewart ... 😯

Edit: [b][u]100% better than Olympics opening ceremony[/u][/b] ... as the Scottish are not taking this too seriously.

Well done because they make me laugh. It is so bad that it is good. 😆

Please, please let them vote yes in September....

I know what you're thinking, did he fire six shots or five.......

Dear oh dear................. 😥

I didn't know John Hannah played the pipes 😛

I think the Scots on this thread suffer from self deprecation...and most English from ill founded arrogance.

*yes vote looks more attractive* 😛

It's a bit too much like the shit videos between songs on the eurovision song contest?!

the commonweath games are on? never noticed

I've spent a lot of time in bishopbriggs and that bird is not a representative sample.

To think they even charged people for a seat to see that!

I'm taking this as evidence that Scotland needs to remain part of the UK - just can't be trusted not to nause it up on its own.

Oh **** no

It's ok they're cracking out SuBo... that's bound to solve things.

*yes vote looks more attractive*

It's Ok, even if they vote no, they'll be kicked out based on the shame they've brought upon the UK for this tosh.....

No. This is so bad that it is good. Get it? I mean I really don't want to see the Olympics shite ... this is much more of a good laugh. I mean at least I am waiting to see something very tacky coming ...

Is it just me or does she look more and more like Michael McIntyre?

needs a bit of runrig to spice it all up....suebo is crap. oh hang on, pipers are here.....cracking

The last time I hid behind the sofa like this was when Doctor Who first hit our screens. Will somebody let me know when it's safe to come out please.

I've put it back on.....more out of intrigue I think!

They should have started off with the Scottish regiment

That's not red. It's pink.

Hopefully this is a bombing run

Even the reds arrows cocked it up purple white and blue FFS!

That car is a bit bloody bouncy.

Suicide doors on the queens ride, pimptastic

Ooooh...controversial.

I see they've presented her Majesty with a wrap of finest Glaswegian smack (and some flowers).

Not every day the queen gets cheered at Celtic Park.

I think they should use someone with very strong Glaswegian accent or they are not Scottish without speaking like Rab C. Nesbitt.

the horror

I'd be quite embarrassed if I was Scottish.....

I would be embarrassed if you were 😉

Genuine LOL at the bombing run comment!

They need to stop using the wide angle lens as the whole place is just empty. It's like the sets got stuck in customs and they're just making do in one corner with the local scout group....

Has anything been deep fried yet?

Seems that every other cliché has been hit already.

No proclaimers, I is disappoint

Well they mullered 500 miles...

There'd better be a bit of Deacon Blue!

crowd wanted something a bit nore lively there and didn't get it haha

the seats are empty cos they wanted 200 quid for them!!!

Has anything been deep fried yet?

Possibly that's what happened to all the sets and actors and they combusted, hence the utterly sparse display we see before us...

Nope. I want to see deep fried everything with fatties about ...

That's one month's benefit! FFS!

Glasgow looks like it is worth a visit.

oh and a proper cyclist.

Seems that every other cliché

And no better man to think of another...

Any Brigadoon yet?

Well its keeping the wife quiet in the other room while I cool down with a beer after tonight's very hot & sweaty ride.
So its OK in my opinion 😉

I see they blew the budget on the pyrotechnics.

OMG it's getting worse!

😀 @ DD!

Danny Macaskill made a video in Glasgow for the games. Hope we get to see that.

Where can I get some of Beaumont's slacks?

And wasn't his record beaten ages ago?

Bin done.

Oh dear ... my eyes my eyes ... I have spotted some colourful deep fried Mars eaters. 😆

I've not seen it all, but from the bits I'm catching it seems to be a lot more human than I was expecting.

I'm glad they've not just tried to do a lower budget copy of the Olympics, I like it.

Somebodies been at the buckie to come up with this shite

Couldn't they at least have found some attractive women?

(They could have bussed some in from Newcastle!)

Wtf are the chairs all about

They should have had some big tunes like Manc 2002.
Getting Stevie Redgrave to open it in one of David Byrne's old jackets was a brave move. 🙂

Will there be "braveheart" enactment?

😆

Shite

mmmhhhh the red arrows turning the sky above parkhead red white and blue!!..........the locals will not be happy

So pleased I started this thread! Not sure if I'm pissing myself more at the replies or the ceremony. Near wet myself with the red arrows comment

At least they've stopped ****ing dancing around.

This is where you get a sense of the informality of the welcome

Huw, when your bored if reading the news you can start a new job as a spin doctor. Brilliant!

Celtic park doesn't help even with a mega screen!!!

No Ewan, I'm not enjoying it.

**** off

Will there be "braveheart" enactment?

Some miserable Jocks about tonight 😆 where is Watty from the Exploited?

Changes over to Dirty Harry
