This is crap, it should not be one extreme to the other, my Dad always said a jokes a joke but to hell with the pantomime and he was right.

One of the problems was that Europe had one too many Scandanavians in the team. Stenson being Swedish was OK, not so much Westwood who's finnished.

Whatever RC committee thought that one up needs a good slap!
Objective is to win not give every man and his dog a chance at being captain especially if the Yanks can pick the same captain again

As with so much in sport and life there is no perfect solution.
However, I don't think it was a question of who may or may not perform in a team situation. After all most of the rookies had played well in events such as the EurAsia Cup (I think that is what it is called).
No, our problem, apart from the Americans playing so well, was that too many of our team, veterans and rookies, were not in the best of form when the gun went. This problem is, I fear, always likely, but not guaranteed, to arise with the current selection process.

With all the money DJ earns you would think she could afford a dress with sufficient material to cover her backside. I seem to remember she wore an equally insufficent dress when DJ won his major. Am I really complaining about that

I guess that's "Mucho Gratia" to Tiger from JD via Gretzsky.

I don't see the need to change the current qualification - there will always be Captains picks - they have varied from either 2 or three dependant on who the captain is , my preference is just the two but it doesn't allow for captain to bring in either players on form or players with experience when the team is too heavy with with rookies. It's a process that has helped Europe win the last 8 out of the 11 RC - don't see the need to reinvent the wheel based on one defeat. There will always be players off form - it's the nature of the game , it's then end up to the Captains to manage the 12 players to get the best out of them - on this occasion Clarke just didn't get things right , it will happen
As for the celebrating and reaction from the players - I don't have a single problem with the way the players acted , they celebrated , fist pumps etc was all great but they also showed respect towards their opponents and both players acknowledged great golf from each other - the atmosphere between the players was brilliant.
The small section of the crowd on the other hand - well everyone knows the problems there and thankfully the US players and VC dealt with them as well the Europeans - as soon as something over the line happened they were thrown out.

Innuendo aside this is a nice photo, Tiger looks genuinely relaxed and happy - off guard, rare and really good to see.
Also thought this is a great photo - I know it's the opposition but so many big stars pulling together and really happy to have won, clearly means something to them despite their reps and wealth etc.
Only question mark might be golf trying to lose its white middle class image, not much in the way of racial diversity in that team!
Ha ha. No, I have a young daughter so respectability has taken over from my previous outlook. I wouldn't want my daughter going out in a dress like that, arguments would develop.
Do you think Davis Love insisted that his cap was a different colour to the players. Pecking order etc.
Joking aside, this US team deserve the plaudits. No arguments.

Was any of the real unsavoury crowd moments caught or shown on tv?

P-S, Sounds fair.
Garyinderry - They were vocal I believe. I heard one abusive comment but then heard an Amercian voice shouting that the person be ejected. Fair play to that bloke. I think Sky can play with the sound so that it gets blocked out so we did not pick most of it up.
