What's up with West Cork people anyway? They all sound like they came from grammar school compared to the norm.

Something to do with mass immigration to Liverpool on the east side of the Lee about a hundred years ago, I think. When they returned, they brought a terribly strange accent back with them.


Daaaaaaaaaycent biy!

I'm torn between wanting to find out live (bbc live text) or waiting and watching the bbc highlights tonight without knowing anything about it...

I think I am too weak to hold out that long though. C'mon Europe!

Yes it was exactly those pairings who started this afternoon :lol: what a blooper. Very shakey start, 3up in 2 matches and halving both is definitely :fp: worthy

RUBBISH today.

Going to be 6-2, most likely.

Guilty of complacency today perhaps?

That must be Garcia's worst ever Ryder cup return.
Ive not seen any of it yet but my hopes are not high.

God the bbc transmission is strawberry floating appalling. It keeps jarring and going blank.

On Sky they're questioning the style of play of a guy on the 18th - saying if the officials allow it, he'll get away with it.

What's he doing wrong - time wasting or something?

That's because the name of one of the golfer's is "Boo."

Apparently.
