Unfortunately all hard games. Switzerland (6 and 2 and 4th) at 18.00 tonight. Then Norway (4 and 5 and 7th) at 8.00 and Sweden (9 and 0 and top) tomorrow at 18.00. Swedish one is on BBC iPlayer. Top two automatically go to semis with 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5th play offs to see with play them. Sweden and Canada (8 and 1) already through. With Germany and Italy both at 6 and 3 it's going to be very tight. Beat Switzerland and Norway will be enough but a big ask. Wish I'd checked about the £15 for tournament offer as I'm using the iPlayer and Canadian channel TSN for games via Firestick app. One win should be enough to get in the play-offs. Norway and USA can both only get to 7 wins (which Scotland already have) Indeed Italy on 6 wins have to play SUI, GER and NOR.

Checked this out and was a 7 day option for 4.99 Canadian Dollars so took it. Watched Scotland last night and just now. Scotland 5 4 up on Norway after 5 ends. Goes to extra end and Scotland edge Norway 9 8. Edited April 5 by Rael Rover Update 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian1 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 As things stand Scotland (3rd) would play USA (6th) in play off at 8am tomorrow for the right to play Canada in the semi-final. However, if Canada lose to Switzerland (who have just failed to get to play-offs) and Scotland beat Sweden tonight we would be straight into the semi (unlikely) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the go for it tonight against Canada as a thank you to their fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS_FFC Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Scotland 4-2 up on Sweden - who have rested Edin - at half time. But likely heading for 3rd as Canada are thumping Switzerland 7-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian1 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 USA in play off tomorrow at 9am then hopefully the semi at 3pm v Canada Very good 8-6 win v Sweden.....Scotland showing good form 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The game really got out of hand with the pick Sweden got that allowed us to steal 2 instead of maybe losing one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS_FFC Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Scotland played well but can’t read too much into it. Sweden gave their skip a rest and the other guys were playing different positions and kinda half arsing it. Think it’ll be a very different game if the teams meet again on Sunday. USA tomorrow morning skipped by 2018 Olympic gold medalist John Shuster. Mouat is 10-7 up in the head to head so it could go either way but Scotland will be happy to have last stone first end. if Scotland do make the semi finals they’ll play Canada who have looked very good all week. Bruce Mouat trails Brad Gushue 14-9 in the head to head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rael Rover Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Scotland through to semis against Canada after 8 3 win over USA. Its at 15.00 today but no sign of BBC showing on iPlayer. Olympic Channel at Olympics.cpm says they are showing both semis and the final but not sure if free or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian1 Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 3pm semi final......nothing on BBC website yet to say whether or not this is on the iplayer. I have subscribed to the Curling Channel so will see it anyway just hope others get the chance on such a horrible day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 3-3 at the break but Scotland have turned the opening hammer around and will carry it into end 6. Canada went 2-0 up in the first end before Scotland equalled it up. Canada then blanked the third but gave up a single steal in 4 after Gushue’s draw slid long. Scotland then did well to hold Gushue to a single in the 5th end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian1 Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 very even game of a very high standard. Yes, Scotland having the hammer in 6th could be significant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Beaten 9-4. Game all turned on the 6th end. It’s easy to say from home but there was a wide open hit that would have likely been for 1 or at worst a single steal in that end. Surprised he went for the draw rather than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Scotland score a double in the 5th end to take a 4-2 lead over Italy at the halfway point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
