Pictures of Eve are out there if you do a quick search, you can see why she's so deft playing bagpipes.

Seen them, but apparently not her.

Wow....what a match.

The Wee Lassies trailed the whole game until the very last Canadian ball was thrown and they got up on the line to secure a place in the semi finals

As ever, Eve was the star of the show and her penultimate throw in the ninth innings swung the match.

One gripe though is Steve Cram.

What the fuck is he doing commentating on Curling when he knows so little about it.

The woman alongside him has to keep explaining what is happening to him.

Just for you, Pet:

Probably deliberate, Pet. He will be representing the viewers as even the BBC realise that 99% of the public won't have a fucking Scoobies either. And won't care probably, as apart from this four yearly feigned enthusiasm no one gives a shit about stone sliding.

Typical broadcasters, feeling that they have to explain everything nowadays. Curling is like ski-jumping; anyone of average intelligence can work it out for themselves after about five minutes.
I watched S Korea vs Sweden (women) the other night, blessedly without any commentary. Blimey, it must be the noisiest sport ever proportionate to the physical activity involved. I'd have loved a translation in subtitles

Good man, Sub

Mon the wee lassies

The Wee Lassies play Sweden in the semi final at 11 a.m. Friday.

Boy, I have high expectations of this particular clash being very easy on the eye

A much nicer uniform and flag in this picture.

If or when they get beaten Kev, the headlines will read “Scottish curling team bottles it in South Korea”

I wish they did 20/20 curling, those games take so fucking long.
