The crowd are 100% better behaved than any yank home crowd That's setting an awfully low bar ! I'd like to think that the game can be played in a better spirit this side of the pond; & that we wouldn't stray beyond banter. If they want to be plums; that reflects on their fans, not us. Did I not rea...

2-2 feels like a win Extremely tense, from 3-up at the start of the eleventh to that ending. Phew... was very similar to the Garcia/McIlroy pairing this morning when Finau and Koepka almost made it back. Two very important wins. The other 3 games this afternoon were rather controlled. 10-6, still 4...

Can’t see all the shots from the course but Rahm looks like he’s struggling quite a bit?

This is a great start compared to yesterday, got the crowd into it very early. Very windy and thus sooooo cold despite sunny skies. Can’t believe Molinari is playing sleeveless.

6-up after 8 holes. Welcome to the Ryder Cup mister Dechambeau.

GDBFC99

4 up- 2 up - 5 up - 3 up

The wind has been really picking up ever since the start of that round, some pretty significant wind gusts at times. Amazed at how they still manage to land on some very tight fairways.

GDBFC99 · Re: Le Ryder Cup - 28/09-30/09 The mood is pretty good around the course.

The mood is pretty good around the course.

The 15th & 16th turn have been absolutely killing us.

GDBFC99

Who are all these people queuing to get in?

Big big crowd out here...

GDBFC99

Players are getting more used to the course now, some sharp stuff from the US of A early this morning with Big Phil holing his 2nd shot on the first hole (par 4). His group absolutely ripped apart the following home (par 3), all shots nearly at the flag! Good thing is the next group was the total op...

I heard the 2 spanyards can’t stand each other.

GDBFC99

Followed Rose/Garcia group most of the morning and they ended playing in foursome configuration with Justin/Sergio and Rory/Rahm as pairings. Also had a look at Tiger’s group, good news is they didn’t sink many putts! Dechambeau and Michelson were much better. They’re all trying to adapt to the cour...

I'll be there starting Wednesday. Can't wait. :nod: It's a unique event if you havent been to one before, it's totally alien compared to any other golf event. Great fun with top banter, i loved it at Gleneagles and was really tempted to go over for it but sadly am otherwise occupied. One of the bes...

The Ryder Cup is happening 15 miles away from my home and a few miles away from my office. Colleagues of mine living close to the Golf national are renting their house a fortune for the time of the competition. Otherwise some people are or will be following "la coupe Ryder" but not too many. Golf r...

They have "chateau", "domaine", "clos" in Lebanon as well... Chateau Kefraya, Chateau Marsyas, Chateau Ksara (oldest one in Lebanon, goes back to the 19th century!), Clos Saint-Thomas...

It will be good to see him at the Ryder Cup. Can't wait for the start, tickets and cigars ready.

Question for fellow wineaux: Does "Château" on a label add prestige to a wine? My latest blog post Surely this is only a French thing? Not many of the outstanding Spanish, Italian, Australian, New Zealand etc etc wines that I've ever drunk had the word "Chateau" on their labels Bordeaux mostly the ...

Well-crafted article from the Washington Post.

Respect for that man despite his failures. Fair winds Captain McCain.

Bien frais en apéro ça passe tout seul.

Au départ les gens croient à un vin liquoreux à la couleur jaune dorée, et en bouche c'est sec. Tu vois la panique dans leurs regards.

Has anyone heard of orange wine? It's basically wine made from white grapes where the juice is kept in contact with the skins. There's an excellent new book just published on the topic, here's my review Been the "fashion" wine a couple of years ago here. Some descent stuff made. I really like that ...

Can't follow the stages here, in holiday mode and I can't catch a TV signal but I just read about Nibali and Froome being on the receiving end of some dumbcnuts. Fooking shame, throw these people above a cliff.

Modric best player of the tourney, we’ll freaking deserved.

GDBFC99

Never in doubt. In tears. Wow.

GDBFC99

fudge off Lloris

GDBFC99

Demolition. The difference compared to first half.

GDBFC99

Absolutely catastrophic half in defense, we can’t catch a single header, it’s always a Croatian player getting the ball. Pavard is consistently being ridiculed by Perisic on his side. Worst half for us in this department since the start of this WC. Great spirit from Croatia, that’s how the game shou...

No idea why they have a ceremony before such an important game. Leave the field to the players ffs...

Managed to find a spot in a bar here in Quebec, the number of bars accepting bookings only is ridiculous.

I’m a nervous wreck and the k.o. is still 2h away.

Croatia in the world cup final, wow :shock: I called them shite in the first half but they looked the real deal after that. Don't think they'll beat France but they'll give them a damn good game. Their midfield dominated it. England need to find upgrades on Henderson and Dier I think Croatia is act...

Modric for Ballon d'Or.

GDBFC99

Good run England but Croatia was better today.

With all those extra times they played, that's another game alone played at least compared to France? Massive achievement should they go all the way.

There's a Facebook memes page that is all about crazy shit that happens in FL. But yeah the lifestyle in the right spots is hard to beat. I could live there, somewhere south and by the water. I looked up why Florida was so nuts a while ago, I just expected something like the humidity and heat made ...

Giroud is the 4th highest scorer in France football history. Behind Henry, Platini and Trezeguet. Ahead of Zidane, Fontaine and Papin. Yes he is. My comment was about him being yet to score a goal in this competition, which leads to pundits unfairly concluding that he's not playing well. He is, and...

How they got all of them out without any snags or panic attacks in those conditions is incredible. The rescue divers must have 'the right stuff' in bucketfuls. Very impressed by this. I read about how tight some of the flooded parts are, pitch black waters, the length of a single extraction, etc. T...

Went to the Foo Fighters concert last night at the Quebec summer festival. They couldn't sing more than 4 songs 3 years ago when a storm interrupted the show. They clearly made up for it last night and played 2 hours and 30 mins. Unbelievable energy and concert. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Forgot...
