Fourth going into the last round in the jumping. Need a clear round and a bit of luck.

You know what will happening. Time penalty will leave us 4th. I’m turning off TV and going to go to pub

That would have been an improvement on what actually happened.

A clear round would, of course, have won us a medal.

 

On the bright side, it's boxing up next...

The British win again. How the hell  do they do it? 7th of 9 in the final is pretty shite.

They have tradition on their side and been there and done it all before. Ireland has a significant monkey on the back in that they’ve never won a medal in team equestrian before and only won medal in total over the years. Once a breakthrough is made you’d be surprised how many successes follow but we have yet to make that breakthrough and it’s stifling. The shackles are off for the other nations. That’s my take on it anyway.

Yeah it really reminds me a lot of the GAA where the traditional teams often find a way to win, and often get the benefit of decisions at crucial moments, to actually win they need to be a lot better to scrape out a victory. Then the fact the Olympics only comes around once every 4 years, it gets magnified. I wasn't confident on O'Connor, he was selected for his vast experience obviously, but it appears he doesn't have as good a horse as at previous Olympics. Hopefully Coyle can do something in the individual but it will be extremely difficult and we rarely seem to get the rub of the green in these things

I think we just bottle it. We just dont get enough clear rounds in the big competitions. Some of the other competitors seemed to soar over tbe fences with a foot to spare.

We have a hockey mentality on our curling team, we’re not going to be bullied and pushed over by a bunch of Swedish guys out there that are getting their a**es handed to them." “We didn’t have any of that, we finished at the top of the podium with the gold and they finished dead last, so I think that says a lot.” Hebert is long known in curling media circles for not being afraid to speak his mind, and he didn’t let up in his ire when it came to the genesis of the entire situation -- Eriksson. “That snake in the grass,” Hebert said. “The stuff he tried to pull at the Olympics is not very Olympia of him… I lost a lot of respect for him with the stuff he tried to pull. He’s won the Olympics, they’ve won Grand Slams, they’ve won World Championships, and when they were at the high of their peak, you never saw that stuff from him. These last two or three years, they’ve been on a brutal stretch and pretty irrelevant in the curling world, haven’t won anything, they’re out of the Grand Slams, dead last in the Olympics puts a stamp on that.."
