How good is curling man. What a sport.

 

Come on GB.

[spacemunky]

Jacobs should have ended it there.

 

Extra end!

[Zear0]

Well done Switzerland for allowing us to play them in the semi 😄

[JonnyZeroFox]

[leicsmac]

That game turned on that one shot at the end of the 6th.

You better not lose to that bunch of wasters. They've caused enough problems today and before. 

[spacemunky]

Well done to the GB Men's curlers.

 

Have hit form at the right time.

 

Shame the ladies just missed out on the semi finals.

Sunday I think! (if the semis go to plan) And yeah, you’ll probably get yours back.

Curling is mad ain’t it 

 

It literally never enters my mind on a day to day basis, yet for a couple of weeks every 4 years I’m literally sat on the edge of my seat whilst searching local ice rinks for possible beginner lessons!

The final will play out tomorrow, I’ll not think once about it again until 2030 and then I’ll be back utterly convinced it’s the greatest sport ever played

I was referring to the Canada v Great Britain men's curling final.

 

I certainly hope to be playing you guys in the men's hockey final, on Sunday.

I guess it's like the classic Olympic sport where it only really gets attention every 4 years as you say.

 

BBC put Curling on the red button or BBC Scotland occasionally.

 

Suppose in a way as they complete as Scotland mainly the sport feels very much Scottish.

Curling is always on TV here and has a decent fan base.

 

Our national championships(Brier for men and Scotties for women) are a reasonably big deal.

 

It's still a niche sport though. I’ve played it once and know a few other people that have actually played it.

 

Most people I've got into a conversation about curling here have Scottish roots.

A bit disappointed that we'll being playing for bronze now in women's curling. Thought Rachel and her rink had found their groove, after the slow start, but it just wasn't to be today.

 

Sweden v Swiss should be a good final.

[spacemunky]

Down a goal to the Finns in the 1st period.

[spacemunky]

Short-handed goal Finland 

[Guesty]

I wanted Canada to win this so they could beat the Yanks (if they get there) in the final. Not looking good atm. But plenty of time still.

[spacemunky]

PP goal Canada!

 

2-1
