eve muirhead

please don't mention Swedes 10 v Turnips 5. cheers.

Nice bit of commentary from Stevie Cram calling good shot as Eve sets the Swedes up nicely for a three against the hammer. Before the next Olympics I'm going to read Curling For Dummies and apply to the BBC for the same free holiday Steve got with thousands of pounds spending money.

Cooked in the 6th end.
Should have been 4-5 not 3-8.
Poor delivery by Eve.

£5.6 million  its an expensive buisness

Did the Boys all have their Stones out while watching the Match ?

indeed akabula. cram's response was ridiculous trying to make out it wasn't over. anyone who'd even seen 5 mins of curling would have known it was a calamitous last stone in that end and there was no coming back from that

chance for redemption for the lassies. i'm sure all us curling experts will be tuning in again

Brooms at the ready for the Bronze.... we wish them well.....

i'm sensing a possible blank end here

don't think she wanted that 1

hardddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

come on scotland bring home 3rd place

i'm getting a bit turned on by the Japanese accents. is that wrong?

Eve goes blonde  -  GET IN!

mistake from eve again

another poor last stone

Eve.

if only we could give her some advice from our collective expertise

I can see it happening in the tense final end. Eve calls a time out... blanks the coach... grabs a laptop and logs on to the chit chat forum.

Think Eve got away with that one. Yer ruthless Scandies would have got that last one in the hole for an eagle.

we are getting owned by japan here

Ming Toy loved a boy, Happy little Japanee;
Oo-long was his name, Set her heart a flame.
One day he say, "Soon I gotta go away;"
When he leave Ming Toy grieve; Everybody hear her say:

"So long! Oo-long, how long you gonna be gone?
Your little Japanee, Will be waiting underneath the bamboo tree;
So don't be too long, Oo-long I'll long while you're away
Waiting for the day when you'll come back to me.
I'll sit and sigh, 'Neath the Oriental sky,
Each day that I am left a lone In Nagasaki.

So long! Oo-Long, How long you goin' to roam?
Please don't be too long, Oo-long, so long hurry back home."

Days fly quickly by, Turning into lonely years;
Tho' the nights are long, Ming Toy's faith is strong.
She kneels and feels, That she doesn't pray in vain;
Whispers "Oo I love you, Ming Toy wants you back again."

1 and done for scotland

as soon as japan get a 2 we are fecked

HARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

"That's fine" is the girls' code for "that was shyte."

its true

Ah yes, the in-turn peel. Of course. We all knew that's what she was going to play there.

eve again

nice, japan choked aswell

Ye Gods, imagine having to listen to these noisy herberts from Tokyo in your ear all day.  GBH of the earhole and no mistake.  Ok if you like being bossed about and being dominated I suppose Your Honour.

Got away with that.

alun u excited for the 6 nations 2day

Nervous would be the more appropriate word Granty.

I fear the men in green will be too strong for us.

Eve is getting ready for her holiday before going to Canada...

Cheers

That's fine Lauren.

If they win, they are British. If they lose, they are Scottish! But at least they are better looking than the Japanese team. But then the stones are better looking than the Japanese team!

thats a bit harsh!!!

Cmon Team Eve, do it for the River Kwai and the River Tay for that matter.

I saw a top gear speical on building a bridge over the kwai, im sure that was the place!

AND THE BEAUTIFUL RIVER DON

AND GRANTY'S 'SPECIAL GIRLS' AT THE QUAYSIDE

A blank end would be a result here...

AND THE FIRTH OF FORTH AND THE FOURTEENTH OF TWENTY-SEVENTH

eve is having a nightmare

Oh ffs.

The Girl gets a Gold Medal for Eye Makeup any day!

Hope all the Boys have their Kilts on and Stones on Display for this Momentous end of Curling ...

CMON EVE

CMON EVE

In trouble now.

C'mon, I wanna see Anna smile.

Muirhead is a having a mare of a competition.  Far too many mistakes.  Next will be the funding will be wiped.  Japan now looking nailed on in this play-off

CMON MISTRESS EVE

now its time for u to choke japan!

Going to a final end

that was way too ambitious

That was bloody awful

shouldve gone for the steal

Come on Evie!

Oh ffs

Terrible terrible decision.  Take it to the final end.  As stated above she's had a night mare of a week

yeh I agree, I didnt like that choice, going for the steal in the 11th seemed more optimal

Yes.....bad decision.....over-confidence !

System working well - send another £5.6 million ..

What was wrong with taking the one point?

now watch how the BBC celebrate coming 4th. At least they didn't fall over, unlike the Brit Skiers and snowboarders!

https://thecurlingnews.com/2016/10/12-athletes-featured-in-new-2017-women-of...

Now they can get back to sweeping kitchen floors instead of ice!

Just watched it again that was an awful decision.  Murdoch is talking nonsense.  He's defending his friend.

The analyst reckons she'd make that shot 99 times out of a 100.

wtf is Alcott doing there?

You don't need to be a curling expert to know that no way she makes that 90 times out of 100.  I make it less than 50%

They're seething at Eve. Anna going to lead a blond revolution.

Cut their funding.  Let them pay like the rest of us have to do when we go in to the Stirling rink

How did it go please ?

How did it go please ?

scots lost

good

Great Britain went into the games confident of a medal but Scotland failed.

Stones Done .

Scotland were poor and Eves finished imo.
Got exactly what we deserved.

Blew it.

At least Eve has her medals to fall back on.

Lovely feet.

Why didn't she kick her last stone into touch? She's about as good at gambling as me. The Brits had two tactically inept skips.

if she'd settled for the 1 to take it to extra time what happens ? do japan get the last stone in the next end or do they toss for it ?

japan wouldve had the hammer mafeking

TBH I quite often prefer dark hair but she looks better blonde, strange how that works, some blondes look better dark.

Is that my imagination, but is there an olympic tramp stamp there in that 2nd photo above?

Is there any .. award for achieving the 6th ring? !

ok so she really had to go for the 2

Lets hope her and the Family members take up Modelling careers  ,Doubt they will be getting millions for doing it ,but investing 5.6 million in this sport is insane to say the Least ,5 million Could build a national Winter sports Venue somewhere,anywhere  .. A dreadful waste of investment ...SHOCKING .

TBH I would hold an Inquiry as to How this sport needs a 5.6 million investment and where that Money has Gone ?? It beggars
belief ? I was stunned when I seen the figure ...

I was the same case and thought it must be a misprint first time I saw it.
Would love to see a breakdown as well.

Unreal AKA as stated that would go a long way to a Winter Sports Center for everyone to use ,creating jobs etc

I bet that Canadian coach who chipped in now and again got a decent wedge.
