Cue petty bleating about London agency...

And before you do, look at their sports credentials.

I think you're boing unfair 08.40. Our poor Labour Cooncil employed executives are clearly feeling the effect of the harsh cuts being inflicted by the nasty SNP controlled Scottish Parliament. All they ask is the chance for a few expense funded junkets to the Big Smoke, a trip to Stringfellows and a night away from the wife.

I've got no issue with who has been awarded the contract. If they have been judged to be the best company for the job then that's totally fine. We want the game to be successful for Scotland after all.

But what really irks me is how many times the digital contract has been put out for tender. This will be the fourth company (that I know of) to have 'won' the Commonwealth Games digital contract since 2007. That's ridiculous!

Congratulations to Four Communications on winning what will be a great project.

It was a pleasure to go up against an Agency which clearly demonstrated that they had the experience to win it, no matter where they are from.

The most important thing is that they do a great job for Glasgow and the 2014 Games... this I am sure they will do.

Well done... still jealous though.
