AberdeenBud Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Some people questioned the choice but McGinley has been an outstanding Captain. Every time you listen to him you can tell how much he's put into it and how seriously he takes the role. The longer Faldo remains the last losing Captain the better.

Mark Connolly Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Shut up ya big drama queen, Gallagher was rotten on Friday and didn't do anything today. He was 3 under against one of the best players in history today. Mickelson had to play out of his skin to beat him. But aye, you have a cheap dig.

Fuctifano Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Bit of an anticlimax really, once Speith threw it away it was never in doubt. Passed a bit of the afternoon doing this Sporcle Ryder cup quiz. Got 84, some of the US guys from the mid 00s are already in "who?" territory.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The points say it all he was rotten this week, that's why Mcginley didn't play him. Mickleson may be one of the best players in history but he's been crap this season. Right I get that he's a Scottish golfer but he was a complete nonentity this week, didn't put a single point on the board so how can anyone say he contributed anything? Are you seriously criticising a guy for losing when -4 through 16, to a guy who was heading for something in the region of a 63? Fucking hell.

So he's a rotten golfer that was -3 for 17 holes? G-Mac won his match 2 and 1, and was -3 after 17 holes - must be a rotten golfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right I get that he's a Scottish golfer but he was a complete nonentity this week, didn't put a single point on the board so how can anyone say he contributed anything? Why not have a dig at Thomas Bjorn then? He got a solitary half point, which he gained by him and Kaymer throwing away a win on Friday morning. Or Poulter, who has so far contributed half a point (it may change), in a pairing where the World Number one had to keep him in it. Guess who was Gallacher's partner in his only other game this week? Nobody is saying Gallacher was a star this week, but to single him out as the only guy who wasn't "a hero" is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 How many points did he win? Just think there were better uses of the captains pick and his lack of a contribution proved that right. Anyway delighted Europe won and it was a great tournament. Who else of the available players wouldn't have lost to Mickelson in that form today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A track record?lol. I wish I could comment on your track record but I have no idea who you are.Calm yer pants are you his cousin or something? If you honestly consider him to have contributed something here then forgive me but I just don't see it. I don't think anyone can say that he contributed any points (cos he didn't) but to single him out of the team as a rotten golfer, when he put in the same score today as Graeme McDowell, is out of line.

Fuctifano Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 McDowell (-3) beat Spieth (E) 2&1Stenson (-4) lost to Reed (-3) by 1 holeMcIlroy (- 8 ) beat Fowler (E) 5&4Rose (-7) halved with Mahan (-5)Gallacher (-3) lost to Mickelson (-6) 3&1Kaymer (-5) beat Watson (E) 4&2Bjorn (-1) lost to Kuchar (-6) 4&3 Garcia (-6) beat Furyk (-4) by 1 hole Poulter (-3) halved with Simpson (-2) Donaldson (-5) beat Bradley (E) 4&3 Westwood (-4) lost to Walker (-7) 3&2 after 15 Dubuisson is level and Johnson -1 so with 2 par 5's chances are everyone will finish par or better.

I'm not saying he's a rotten golfer he obviously isn't, just saying he can hardly be considered a Ryder cup hero more out of his depth at that level and one day I'd love to be proven wrong with him winning a major or something, but as it stands he was the weak link in the European team. Even the sky commentator interviewing Ian poulter agreed lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Good interview with Paul McGinley on 5 Live. He spoke well of his players and was very gracious about Tom Watson. Always enjoyable to hear someone who knows how to win well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I would go as far to say Gallacher offered as much to the team as Poulter did. Now, obviously, points are important, but they way Gallacher played I am more than certain he would have picked up some points if it wasn't for the fact he was playing Mickelson.
