Trying to think of something positive to say right now... but, sorry, struggling badly..........

[Bryan]

That's it folks.

Hope you found the updates useful. I know there was "live" scoring on thje BIBC site, but I wasn't able to access it properly on my phone or ipad, so thought some updates might be helpful.

Now the questions begin.........

[sammya]

omg! is 20 club skips many playing out of position really the answer for the international team?
judging by these results a serious rethink is needed, only one positive rink comes out of the series
over 2 days. btw 2 of the best leads in Ireland are not even subs!! guess guess guess.

[Bryan]

I have said this all along Sammy... same applies to the PGL.... are we SERIOUSLY saying we have not got just SIX LEADS good enough to represent our country IN THE WHOLE OF IRELAND!? That is nuts if that's the case. We stuff our supposed best other 18 players (who as you say are ALL Club SKIPS) into ANY position so as they can be on the team. You wouldn't even think of doing that at CLUB level, would you!? Square pegs, round holes springs to mind.

My POV will be interesting this week..... (even less than 0 friends left after this.......)
