Following yesterday's defeat in the Ryder Cup I would like to make a few observations. I admit that I was one of those who (incorrectly) doubted Poulter's selection, but I also believe that Faldo got the order slightly wrong for the singles by not putting out the form players first (Poulter, Rose, Karlsson) to get some blue on the board. However, the defeat was not Faldo's fault. Some of the established players (Garcia, Jimenez, Harrington) just weren't at the races. I believe that Europe now need to re-visit the selection process, with a view to giving the Captain 4 picks like the US team. Just because some players are good at amassing money in medal tournaments from week to week, it doesn't necessarily mean that their medal game will transfer across to the matchplay format, and team ethics, of the Ryder Cup. This is not a knee-jerk reaction suggestion, we just need to be able to select the best, in-form, team-minded, Matchplay-moulded players, at the expense of those that just grind out euros and dollars each week.

Couldn't agree with you more Mark, a tight game, Europe winning and dignity and decorum on the course

Really, what is the selection procedure for European Captain - could this guy be worse ?? What an ignoramus, sorry but this is also a reflection on where he comes from!

A very nervous but proud Nick Faldo on stage. My biggest concern is those bloody stupid Americans. How dare they hang the Union Jack upside down. How do you think they would feel if we put the stars and stripes upside down. So boys, go stick it up them severely

Come on Roey!!! That`s such a liberal view, you know how good are boys are, we`ll stuff em in their own backyard & i think you know that , and when the match starts everybody from Europe will be behind Faldo. he knows how too duff the Yanks up,he done it for years. Everybody knows Faldo`s a strange one!, but he knows his stuff, and is one of the greatest players ever, just behind Mark Roe!! not quite. Enjoy the matches.
