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.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?

      Just found these matches!

      Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.

      Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Sue · Posted

      The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
