    Everyone has different preferences & netball not shown enough on TV IMO.

    There's been lots of netball on and that was a very predictable and one-sided game.

    It seems the long jump is a non event as far as the BBC is concerned.

    Ironic considering they were chatting about Greg being overshadowed in 2012....

    On 5 Live they were wondering if the beard and sunglasses slowed him down aerodynamically! :D

    :D:D

    I think they have taken a second off his time.

    Awful start and first 100m for Rooney cost him a chance of a medal.

    Not a terrible time from Rooney, but he never put himself in a position to win a medal.

    What's going on with the Freeview 301 RB feed ....... tune in and all I get is a few seconds of the athletics live feed then the CWG message and a black screen telling me to press the damn Red Button which does not give the option of channel 301? :confused:

    OK so I've got the 'live' athletics on Sky Red Button but the Freeview is a bit hap-hazard!

    That was a really poor showing from Rooney.

    Rooney wasn't really with it. :( The race was long gone with 200m to go.

    BBC coverage of the long jump was utterly shocking even by their own low standards. They literally spent more time talking about it than they did showing it, they only showed one of Chris Tomlinson's jumps and none by JJ Jegede, the other Brit int the final. To cap it all, they were 10 minutes late with the result. Gabby Logan even had the nerve to ask the panel why Greg Rutherford was not famous!!!!

    That's why I've got the online on the go, no way are BBC going to make me miss Queen Valerie.

    I think Rooney thought the South African had gone out far too fast so he held back. But he held back too much!

    Didn't realise that Martyn Rooney was so tall at 6' 6.

    Is it not time Rooney gave up? He had a good chance of medalling and didn't even really turn up to the race. Glad Kirani won though!

    It might as well be Wayne under that beard.

    At least with this being in Scotland money wasn't forked out on a free holiday for him.

    He always puts in a good shift in the relay.

    Oh, noes, looks like the Aussies are in the medals in the javelin, Mickle just set a games record. Think the Aussies are 1-2-3
