I'm not saying that,it's Mr anti English who thrives on any defeat,bad luck and what not to come our way.Which deserves a reply.
Look how he melted and threw the toys out of the pram when i pulled he's rusty chain during the cricket.
He loves giving it,now he's moaning about a winner he never backed because of the odds.
He used to give Scotia the same snide remarks because he likes a short fav.

I was just joking with u guys.lol

Some great golf yesterday,Patrick Reed and Rory stood out.Darren Clarke made big error picking he's mate Westwood as a wild card,out of form and nervous.
American fans get called a bunch of imbeciles by Willet's brother and they respond by acting like a bunch of imbeciles,they can't handle a beer and the later it gets,the more insulting they are.

Dave Rory's partner the big Belgian Thomas I thought was the pick of the day. He saved the pair in the last 9 a few times. Solid Putter and decent driver will be one to watch today

He played well,looked cool under pressure.First time I've seen him play,was impressed.

The only thing worse than the unsporting behaviour of the Yankee supporters is the players who stir it up................this year its Reed ......no surprise he was voted the most unpopular player on tour in their "secret" ballot!
(2nd most unpopular is Bubba Watson)
I backed the USA but would be happy to lose the money and see Europe lift the Trophy,or at very least,Rory kick his arse!

Guys, this is a honest question as I honestly have not watched any of this years ryder cup live. I have only caught a few of the highlights on blitz. What is the American fans doing that is so wrong compared to what the european fans do when played in Europe? Are they insulting the Europeans? Are they screaming and shouting on back swings? Or are they chanting loud when America holds something and chanting even louder when Europe miss something? Thus making the home ground advantage greater. Like I said I have not watched anything live, just curious what is so bad..

Karma,the home advantage is rightly a positive when the home fans are supporting their team.But some of these cretins are giving dogs abuse to the away players between the greens and the next tee off area.We ain't getting the full picture on Sky,but my brother in law is out there with he's American business partners and they are even embarrassed by the drunken antics of the yank fans.
But the Reid/Rory match is a belter.

Thanks Dave, but I do find it hard to believe that the Americans dont get the very same abuse when the tournament is held in Europe... Alcohol is a terrible "confidence booster", but lets be honest its not a one way road, im sure in 2 years time just as many if not more beers will be consumed.... I could very well be wrong, as once again I have not watched any this weekend, just going on past knowledge.

At the end of the day, golf is a gentlemans game, which if one takes into account the troubles other sporting codes have expierenced recently, the game has held its head up high, and the authorities have done a good job. I do however think (once again with no first hand knowledge) that if the antics were really way over the top that the authorities would have stepped in by now...

Karma,no disrespect but your talking absolute bollocks.
If you think it happens in Scotland,England,Wales or Spain when Europe host the event then your obviously not a golf fan.

Why though? Do the Europeans keep quiet when the Americans miss a putt etc when on home soil? I clearly remember Patrick Reed coming in for alot of abuse when he sunk a few puts and shouted at the fans the last time it was in Europe, and the blitz replays I have seen, Mccilroy has done the exact same... what makes it different?

Karma,it's not the players doing their fist pumping that's the problem.Its the USA fans abusing and trying to put players off BEFORE they take their shots and the abuse between holes that doesn't happen in Europe.Thats a fact

Apart from the idiots,I think it's the best golf I've seen at a Ryder Cup.
Some of the play is outstanding.
