Poults justifies selection!!!

Jaysoose · 19-09-2008 5:09pm #1

I said it another thread, would put 50p on him holing a 6 footer of any importance. Straight uphiller for 1/2 a point!! cmon for f*cks sake why is he there? 3 up at one stage to boot.

slumped · 19-09-2008 5:18pm

use the main thread for this!

Mister Sifter · 19-09-2008 5:26pm

Maybe a mod would be so keen as to remove your signature too... how old are you... 3?

As for the original thread... how big an idiot will you feel if he goes on and snatches 3 points over sat and sun?

Back the side!

Ah now - all I did was suggest that the OP should post in the Ryder Cup thread set up for the purpose of keeping things clean.

There are some people that take things far too seriously.

It's only a discussion forum. Not that important really.

Remember, the dog that lies in the grass never catches fleas.

Ah sure you're dead right. It's all a bit of light hearted fun!!

I'm just surprised that a 45 year old would have a signature like that. But sure each to their own.

Enjoy the golf lads!

Right, I'll stop now before I get barred. You changed your signature and then put it back when someone mentioned that you removed it. Just like a child.

Oh dear, you really have issues.....:o

He ain't doing 2 badly this evening....

Why is it Poulters fault he got picked? Why all the hatred towards him it's not his fault Clarke didn't get picked...

Swinging Looney · 19-09-2008 10:04pm

Poulter and Rose just won their match. Hard to argue with Nicks selection. Looks like they'll be the only EU's to win this afternoon.

staker · 19-09-2008 10:24pm

fair play to ian poulter. just turned on to see he's already justified his pick. BIG SLICE OF HUMBLE PIE FOR ME!!
faldo's body language ain't great.
C'MON EUROPE!!!

Faldo is a very unpopular.The USA will win the cup,I'd put my mortgage on that.I'm convinced the Americans will will because of Faldo and his stupid decision to leave Darren Clarke off the team.Stupid.

it's too early to be saying that man. gotta keep the faith.clarke's omission is history, admittedly we gotta turn it around big style though....

lisbon_lions · 19-09-2008 10:55pm

Im not sure what crap Faldo was spouting about butterflies and bees at the ceremony yesterday, but his lads got stung badly today.

Maybe he will shut up now and be more of a captain.

irishtoffee · 19-09-2008 10:59pm

Mister Sifter · 20-09-2008 9:24am

Well done Ian Poulter. Superb perfomance last night! Holed some absolutely huge putts. One poing out of two for a wild card is a good ratio so far... let's hope he can snatch at least one more today!

The way people are talking about Darren Clarke you would think he was the messiah.

compared to that cnut poulter he is the messiah,
and I may as well mention now,
faldo is the biggest f*kin numpty in golf,
what a comment yesterday on the whole Irish thing...

Swinging Looney · 20-09-2008 10:14am

Poulter was picked over Clarke and he has proven to be the right choice so far. He was the best performing European yesterday by a long shot.

All the same, I am amazed at how much Faldo appeared like a rabbit in the headlights yesterday.

Jaysoose · 20-09-2008 10:30am

To be fair me and my old man could have beat Stricker and Curtis (he had a shocker) yesterday.

Its all gonna change today though, europe get 7 points today.

That isn't even true, the Americans had a fairly certain birdie on that hole and his putt was largely irrelevant.

Is it possible for you to rise above this petty childish rubbish wrt Poulter. We'll all accept some mightn't want him to be playing but the fact is he is and he proved in the fourballs he can bring something to the team. Curtis and Stricker were very poor but Rose and himself did the job they had to well.

RuggieBear · 20-09-2008 12:56pm

any more childish abuse of players without a semblance of rational articulate consideration will result in month long bans.

stockdam · 20-09-2008 1:13pm

Poulter in the first couple of holes so far this morning on day 2 of the foursomes has justified his selection. He's playing well and is obviously trying to prove a point.

On the other hand Harrington needs to start to show a bit more.

kenco · 20-09-2008 8:31pm

In reply to the OP

Yes without a doubt!

jampotjim · 20-09-2008 8:45pm

Poulter and McDowell have been excellent so far...

And all this Poulter bottling putting has gone very quite as he has held some real pressure putts both days and for me has been the top performer for Europe...

Casey who I taught would be a strong player for us has reall not got going at all seems to be down on himself all day and really looks like he needs to be pulled aside to try and get him into the game..

stockdam · 20-09-2008 9:48pm

Casey's putting hasn't been great recently and that's what's letting him down. Compare that with Poulter and McDowell who have been outstanding.

That match is birdie to half type golf.. Am so so impressed with Poulter and McDowell this evening

jampotjim · 20-09-2008 11:03pm

Great up and down by Poulter and under the highest of pressure....

Himself and McDowell have been top drawer and fully deserve the point they got...

Now come on Stenson/Karlsson !!!!!!!

stockdam · 20-09-2008 11:03pm

YES YES YES

Poulter sinks the winning putt on the last.

He's been Europe's top player. Rose and McDowell aren't far behind.

There have been too many European's who haven't performed. Let's hope Karlsson and Stenson win the last to win their match to bring it to one behind.

stockdam · 20-09-2008 11:05pm

Yes Karlsson......drat he missed his putt.

Good half though.

Yeah, totally agree. A hopeless player. Wouldn't put a cent on him holing a putt to win any match. What was Faldo thinking? :rolleyes:

irishtoffee · 21-09-2008 3:30pm

As i said before lets all get behind the team and stop going on about the picks.Come on Europe. By the way met Poults at the British open and he is a gentleman and could not have been nicer to my nephew.

matt cork · 21-09-2008 3:47pm

wonder what odds for poulter to make the winning putt....;)

in the face of all the media / journalistic criticism you have to admit that it is all set up for a fairy tale ending:D

all set now for the next 8 hrs of fun!!!

Thats twice you have replied to the same quote of mine, poulter played well and he deserves all the credit he is getting. I got it wrong lads get over it and to be fair there were not to many disagreeing with me originally...hindsight is 20/20 and all that.

PhilipMarlowe · 22-09-2008 9:57am

Plenty disagreed with you because the original comment to call him hopeless was so stupid.

Jaysoose · 22-09-2008 9:59am

Whats the point in getting personal? I admitted i was wrong, certainly not stupid to get annoyed with the guy missing a short putt and starting a thread.

Funnily enough i dont see your name anywhere in the thread disagreeing with my original post...hindsight is wonderful.

RuggieBear · 22-09-2008 10:00am

debate the post not the poster people.

back on topic.

PhilipMarlowe · 22-09-2008 10:05am

Crossed wires...
I have said here several times that I am a fan of poulter and that I would have picked him and clarke, left casey behind.

Is replying twice against the rules? You were wrong alright and ya gotta live and die by the sword I'm afraid. Should've waited till after the competition to criticise Poulter.

Poults justifies selection!!!
