Wouldn't it be great if, following Andy Murray's Olympic Gold, David Murdoch won a Winter Olympic Gold too, bearing in mind the tragedies that took place in the towns where they grew up?
For those that don't know, Andy Murray went to school in Dunblane and survived the gun massacre there; David Murdoch grew up in Lockerbie and saw PanAm Flight 103 hit the ground.
I've tried to get into it but I still prefer the ice hockey and that doesn't come more tasty than the semi final line up: Canada v USA and Finland v Sweden

Absolutely. I think it's fantastic that a third world country like Scotland can battle through all of the hardships and still produce some great sporting hero's.
never played the game myself so I don't want to sound critical, but looks like they've blown it now - surely they should have just got as many stones in the ring during that last end & let the Canadians remove them The fact they actually LOST that end having had the hammer is criminal.
No shame losing to the Canadians. Had a great Olympics. Well done you Brits
Its not losing that's the problem, its how you lose. I hope a previous poster's comment about the GB team being out on the lash the night before was a joke.......very unprofessional if they were & deserve to lose. You don't see Mo Farah or Usain Bolt getting p****d up when they win the semi final - they wait until after the final & the comp has finished & then they relax.

I'd love to see how athletic you are. I've never known someone to be so critical when it comes to sport.

He would show you all his medals and cups, except he ate them.

I wasn't being critical & I applaud both GB Curling teams for wining medals this week. All I was saying is that someone earlier had said that that they had been out on the lash last night celebrating getting into the final & IF that were true ( and I would doubt it ) then they only have themselves to blame if they were a bit jaded today.
