Glad he has picked Gallacher,he deserves it after the form he has been in. The team looks strong and I can't see anything other than a European victory.

Can't wait either, looks like a strong team, and certainly more than a match for the yanks, maybe would have liked to have seen Langer there, in good form, and tons of experience....Here in Thailand there is a massive expat community of golfers, and the atmosphere on the final day in the bar we play from will be freekin awesome.

USA team:
Watson announced Bradley, Mahan and Simpson, all of them former Ryder Cup players, as his three selections during a glitzy news conference at New York’s Rockefeller Plaza.
The rest
Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Jimmy Walker, Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Zach Johnson

am i the only one that can't stand watching Ricky bloody Fowler?
before his haircut i always thought he'd look far better with a surfboard under his arm rather than an iron in his hand and nowadays he's just too...well, too bloody American for my liking!!!
just so relieved it's in Scotland........hate being forced to watch it on mute just to get away from thick, brash, fat arrogant fuckers shouting "Ged in da hole" when someone tees off on a 540 yard par 5!!!
come on Europe....humiliate the fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!! and if any of those bitch wives stomp all over the green/fairway again in their fucking heels when we still have shots to play then i'm doing them over myself!

He got loads of stick on the Tee, with the Brits shouting "Rickyyyyyyy" as in the one from Eastenders with Bianca shouting at him & I recall a splendid rendition on the tee when Rory came on of "You have Big Mac, We have little Mac" TEST

Rory is 7-1 to be top points scorer, in an event where you can back each way the first 4!
Given he should play all 5, he is the best in the world, and may well play with Garcia, this seems like a big play to me.
if it goes badly wrong and the yanks win you even get your money back!

two out of form players, one a rookie seems a strange pairing with hindsight
