You may have watched the 'highlights' Mick. I watched it all.

Which would appear to be somewhat more than you.

I watched it all too - I'm suggesting you might need to watch the highlights as you took so little in first time round.


What I saw was Rory make the biride on 17 this morning that put them in position to get the half match which they got - His partner said he was "immense" in the post match interview - you may know better. In the afternoon he made a number of clinch putts to keep the irish pair in the match in the afternoon - unfortunatley they lost on the 18th to a very strong performance from Cink and Kucher. The Cink putt from distance on 17 changed that game. Rory and Graeme went out again and are already 3up overnight and I expect them to win this point in the morning. Can't argue with that performance.


As for Harrington, Fisher paid tribute to him after the round - He put the ball near enough to the hole for Fisher to hole the putts and also read the lines for Fisher. He more than justified his selection. He had a poor first game with Donald but that was early this morning and for the rest of the day he was fantastic. He will have 2 points from 3 by the time we sit down for our lunch tomorrow.


Westwood, Fisher, Donald were excellent today.

Young McIlroy is still a work in progress after a number of errors at crucial moments. The 21-year-old had his moments, but missed a short putt for a half on 17 and leaked his pitching wedge approach into the right greenside bunker on 18, after finding the water with his second on the same hole earlier in the day to leave his partner under pressure.


This is from The BBC sports website. GMc was hardly going to describe his partner as crap was he? Is that 3 up and 4 to play?


Just heard a rule I didn't know. As it's going to have to finish tomorrow,if there are any unfinished singles at 18.43 they will count as a half. Could lead to some slow play if the time becomes an element.

I think that quote is only stating the obvious Declan - you have to look at the whole of play yesterday to put his performace in perspective. Thats why I went to the bother of setting it out.


If he wins his 3 up game today he will have 1.5 points from 3 and his singles will then dictate whether he is a net winner - which would definatley be a good ryder cup debut.


Good luck to him, setting aside the approach to the 18th, he has dealt with the pressure well for someone so young.


Europe to win at least 4-2 today and take it even or a small lead into the singles.

The Overton and Bubba Watson celebration after holing from the fairway at the 8th was hilarious at the time and even funnier when Peter Allis and Ken Brown got to have their say on it in the highlights. Really funny.


Great day for Europe today though, possibly their best ever day in Ryder Cup.


Monty has front loaded the sibgles draw to get the job done early tomorrow and Harrington and McDowell as anchormen just in case.

    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
    • I know you asked for recommendations, but I have lots of families who would happily give a glowing reference for my tutoring.  Will DM you.
    • There's Gather  in Bellenden Road. And doesn't the Turkish (?) shop sell no packaging things? I'm sure it used to at one point. Maybe it stopped.
    • If nobody on here knows, I will ask at a DIY shop. I already googled, but most of the solutions aren't feasible for me, I don't think.
