That time of the year again - my favourite golf event of the year.
Tee-times are out for the first 2 rounds
http://www.masters.com/en_US/players/pairings/index.html?promo=espn
This is one of the most wide open fields in a few years - anyone of a dozen men could win it this year.
Let the fun begin.
Spieth seems to be proving to be human after all the past few weeks and visibly getting frustrated and affect his game so i'll be surprised should he do it this week.
I've backed Rory, Fowler and Kaymer.
Rory's had a mediocre kind of start to the season by his standards but has been improving and played well for most of the match play a few weeks back and that could have him spot on and 17/2 is a fair price.
Fowler's had a really good start to the season being ultra consistent and is hitting bigger than ever before it seems and i'll be very shocked if he doesn't go close and Skybet going 8 places and some others going 7 places 14/1 which is very good for punting on someone like Fowler who's so consistent,16/1 can be got but i like the extra places for him.
Kaymer's a real shot in the dark as he's had a poor last year or so losing his PGA tourcard and generally playing poorly and this has never been known as a course he likes but he's someone i've regualrly sided with in big tournaments before and he did me a favour or 2 and he's got as much ability as any on his day and being grouped with Mc Ilroy could help bring him to life and 200/1 is available.
Went with Lowry,Day,Bubba and Adam Scott.

Nice to see someone spell losing correctly for a change.
Kudos to you young man.

You're loosing the run of yourself
Looking forward to this as well have Spieth and Scott done as my main bet and small ones omnLowty and Matsuyama.
As Gabe said you could add McIlroy, Watson, Mickelson, Day, Johnson, Fowler, Oosthuizen, Schwartzel to the lads who could potentially win it. It has the potential to be one of the best ever with so many lads at the top of their game!!
I'll be having my few quid on Rory, he's being threatening lately without sealing the deal. Hopefully this week it'll all come together.. I'll probably wait til Thurs evening to bet, he's last out so might get an extra point or so if some of the others get off to a flier..
If I was a betting man (I am not) then I would go each way on Oosthuizen, Stenson and for an outside bet Willett.
Rory's Poyntzpass coach won't be pleased with you!
Going with Fowler, Dustin Johnson (blind faith ) , Schwarzel and one other to be chosen at random from the bookies screen. Small e/w bets to keep an interest in the tournament. Brilliant tv.
I reckon Day will be there are there-abouts, I am hoping Spieth can do it but I think his game is a few weeks short of getting to what it takes, Fowler is in with a chance and has to deliver soon, my outsider would be Patrick Reed.

I understand that Reed is a one-trick pony. Every shot is a draw so if he needs to fade then he is bollixed.
Big Phil for me.
I'll go Bubba, Phil and Lowry.
There can't be many more years remaining for Lefty to be a tip at the Masters. Ruairi has the game and hopefully now the bottle to get around so my each way money is on Oosthuizen as I like the look of his group with Dufner and Reed. Will also have a pop at McIlroy and Sergio just for interest.
Kaymer's a real shot in the dark as he's had a poor last year or so losing his PGA tourcard and generally playing poorly and this has never been known as a course he likes but he's someone i've regualrly sided with in big tournaments before and he did me a favour or 2 and he's got as much ability as any on his day and being grouped with Mc Ilroy could help bring him to life and 200/1 is available.
I have always backed Kaymer and like him a lot but Augusta does not suit a player who fades the ball and that is what MK prefers to do plus he has the added 'distraction' of Kirsty Gallagher on course this week so that may affect him also. But as you say at 200/1 he is some price even EW
Going to go with Stenson, DJ (again), Oosthuizen, Matsuyama all to win and Cabrero Bello, Weisberger, Casey and J.Thomas all EW.
As someone said earlier in the page, most likely the winner will come from any one of the worlds top 15 - they all going fairly decent at the moment - quite an open chance for the worlds top players as nobody is out on their own as the best player
Not like 10 years ago when nearly every event was won by Tiger, Ernie, Phil, Vijay or Goosen...

I would love Sergio to do it but his putting is atrocious. McIlroy is by no means a great putter but at least he can go on a hot streak where they're rolling in and he looks confident with it. Sergio looks as if he's about to cry most times he's standing over a putt!
Spieth hasn't been great with the putter this season hopefully he can find his rhythm for tomorrow!
Dustin Johnson for me, the nearly man is going to come good sooner or later and with his length and accuracy off the tee I think he will win it. Mcilroy won't finish in the top ten for me, hope I am wrong.

I hope your right
IMO dustin short game not good enough for augusta. For all the majors he has contended, has he been there or there abouts on the back 9 at augusta.
kaymer is 200/1 for a reason, he plays left to right which is a major disadvantage on this course, he even tried to change his swing a while back to suit and completely f**ked up his game for a few years because of it.
Unless your exceptional your not going to win on your first year there so Id rule out Willet and the like for that reason. Scott is playing very well but I'd still be a bit worried about his putting.
If you don't look at the big 3 then the winner could come from, bubba, rose or phil with the the two south Africans and reed as outsiders.
Sergio, no, just no....
Big Phil for me-decent value at 18's
Any love for Lowry?
Done oouisthizen each way and outsider andy sullivan at 125/1.
Picking a winner in a golf tournament is a lottery. Apart from the tiger woods era it's very difficult to predict the winner. Would love Lowry to do well. What about rickie fowler? How's he going?

He reacted like that because they had a big wager on a hole in one between the three of them apparently. So I presume he was joking.

Very interesting article.
Spending small fortunes icing flowers so they bloom just in time for the arrival of the television cameras jars a little when just a Rory Mcllroy drive down the hill from picturesque Magnolia Lane, one in four subsist below the poverty line, and an estimated four out of every 10 kids go to bed hungry.

On setanta Ireland from 8 pm ...
I'm sure you'll find a stream ..
Shane -4 through 5.
Just caught up with what happened to Els on the 1st, SEVEN shots to get down from 3ft!!!
Fcuk
It's unbelievable - watch it here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeBmSTvIug8&ebc=ANyPxKpgK_i9fOlmx8wxxrTS0prMmvWBT2sT6jvxuYXjczMYqoDKn12ocRdSJgjeaj0LRY4tAIQ9EtAR_mDaBEa9_vGPe7hjxg) (start at 0:41 - it's a bit mixed up before that).
Lowry with a toddler for -5 and outright second place.
Shane just after playing an absolute beauty into the 11th green. Chance to take tie for the lead.
Probably gonna give one back here..

I tell a lie. Apparently he gave her the flick. Still a p***k though.
Lowry pretty solid despite the putts not dropping on the back 9. Tee to green he has been great.
Yeah he's left a few behind him on the back 9. Could easily be tied if not leading.
No harm not to be. I know Spieth is a great front runner, but I'd prefer Shane to be in this sort of a position on Saturday evening rather than leading on a Thursday or Friday. Starting off Sunday in the second last group, but not leading, would give him a great chance. Lot can happen in a couple of holes at Augusta though, so we won't be building the bonfires just yet.

If there isn't there should be!!! I enjoyed that.
Listening to Mickelson I thought was interesting and will maybe be Lowry's downfall. He said that when the greens firm up that's when the guys who are more experienced round Augusta will come into their own. It seemed to be that a lot more average shots were staying on the green yesterday than would normally when the greens aren't as damp. Fair play to Lowry though he did well yesterday I hope he keeps it up!!!

What's the cash out value on that now? Look you cant be shocked now if Lowry puts in another good round, he's been building up to a Masters performance these last few years.....

You can lay him at 27/1 on Betfair now, which would lock in a profit of about 3 times the stake.

Rory having a nightmare two holes, double bogey-bogey
Incredibly tough golf course today by the looks of things.... Virtually nobody under par for the day. Els performance is remarkable he's +8 for the tournament having played the 1st hole seven over par!!
Rory opposite way to yesterday, finishing well. Even if he finishes at -3 he will be very near the top. A lot will depend on how Spieth manages the par 5s 13th and 15th, holes now starting to look small for him and doubts entering his head.
Bad drive on 18. Pity as he could be level the way Spieth is going. Lowry's +3 today not looking all that bad now.
Is Lowry gonna make the cut, or is he dunzo?
He's tied for 11th - he'll make it

He's even par and at the moment only 5 off the lead, of course he will make the cut.
Just lumped on Aphibarnrat at 125-1.
Crucially Spieth hasn't streaked away with another low round.
It's looking very open at the moment.
Fowler won't be making the **** anyway that's for sure ;D
Shot of the day from Spieth that was class!
I enjoyed the caddy "trust me dude". Could be a huge play if he can get this birdie!!
Spieth drops one at 17, Rory just the one back now
Be bit of a bummer for the haters if Rory leads going into tomorrow :o..... Spieth still the man. Best each way shot at the minute?? No value on those two

Meh he'll get over it, make him stronger if anything... They've all had their ups and downs Speith even 4 putted today
I don't think it's going to be a Spieth/McIlroy procession
Conditions are brutal. monty was asked how a 10 handicapper would fair out there he said they would 3 putt half the holes and worse on the other half, and wouldn't break 100. Speech is looking shaky, if McIlroy cuts the mistakes he is in with a shout. Felt for Phil yesterday he couldn't buy a putt.

I don't agree that he is looking shaky as such, I just think the conditions seemed brutal towards the end of the day and it won't be much better over the weekend if they don't water the greens.
Spieth and Rory out in the last pair, could be brilliant viewing. Hope it is the same for tomorrow also.

How did Darren Clarke get an invite to the Masters?
Making an ass of himself missing on the cut on +16 ffs.
Has a 5 year automatic invite from winning the open but ends this year. Had to laugh at the bbc yesterday saying he played poorly as he has the Ryder cup on his mind.

Speith and his group were put on the clock both days and it quite visibly irritated him yesterday. It does make a difference, especially in windy conditions as he potentially faced a 1 stroke penalty if he continued to back off shots etc. I felt sorry for Dechambeau as he had a super round going only to come undone at the last. Still can't fathom how he plays so well with those clubs he uses!!!
Looking already as if conditions today could be just as tough. It'll be about survival. Winning score could be close enough to par if this keeps up.
FFS just sat down to watch the live coverage and Lowry has played himself out of it before i have even seen a shot tonight
any good streams??
Filmon bbc2 watch it from anywhere on the planet good quality
When i say good quality i mean the picure quality as some of the golf so far has been awful bad weather or not
7th just sums up the difference between speith and mcilroy. 2 perfect shots from mcilroy unlucky not to spin back for a short birdie putt and then 2 brain fart putts later results in a bogey. Speith smashes it all over the place and then holes his umpteenth 10 footer for a bogey.

They have set the course up like a US Open so it was always gonna be tough for the players. Bordering on unfair
Jason Day coming back into it. McIlroy's driving is rather disappointing today. He would have better chances with his streaky putting if he can get back to yesterday's driving.
Mcilroy imploding on amen corner. Sometimes you really got to question his course management. Needs a better caddy to reduce the number of daft moments he seems to have.
I don't watch alot of golf. Mainly the majors and an odd tournament elsewhere. Always thought mcilroy was the main man when playing well however the performances from spieth at the masters are making me feel differently. Is spieth a better golfer than mcilroy?
Carnage now the greens are bone dry.
I know Day is number 1 at the moment but mcilroy and speith in my opinion are the best. For raw talent mcilroy is the best and when he is on his game noone can touch him problem is when things start to go wrong they go wrong. He doesnt seem to be able to grind it out when having an off day like others.
So mcilroy has more talent but the others keep their heads better
Quote from: An Watcher on April 09, 2016, 10:57:45 PM

Speith is a much better putter, today being a perfect example but yes you are right which is why mcilroy maybe needs to change caddy someone to tell him to fecking wise up when he has a bad shot and not let it suddenly wreck his whole round
If McIlroy had Spieth's temperament nobody would touch him!!!
It's a cruel game! McIlroy sticking with the driver like the gambler going back to table to win back his losses. If he took a more cautious approach he may have saved a few.

Bollix. You can't continually put shite play down to 'temperament'. That's simply making excuses for inconsistency.
Yes, when he's good he's very good but he can be pretty crap at times too.
His problems are mental!
He has the technique he's the most naturally gifted golfer about according to most but he continually makes incorrect decisions. Course managemrnt is suspect, he has too many lapses in concentration which cause bad shots. Along with that the most mental aspect of the game in putting is his weakest part.
Case in point was the 11th\12th holes. Him and Spieth double bogeyed 11. McIlroys shot into 12 was better than Spieth's yet Spieth birdied and McIlroy didn't!!

Every player has a bad shot in their bag that means nothing. His problem is the shot after that and the putt from 6/7 feet to save par!

Like anyone else that plays golf.... Nice to watch but give me a hurl anytime!
McElroy's biggest weakness is his putting which puts pressure on every other area of his game. If he gets on a roll with his putting he can really shoot low. Speith is the best putter around by some distance. Augusta is set up for the best putters to be in contention. Speith is also lucky that his wayward sorts have not been punished more than they have. There is very little rough in Augusta. On any other major course he would be in big trouble. Day for me looks the best set up to challenge tomorrow.
On another note. Speith seems a decent sort of fella but I think if I was playing along with him I would have my 3 iron wrapped around his neck. He is excessively slow and deliberate. I only hope no one at my club try to follow his example. I would love to be able to putt like him though.

Agree with all of this.
Spieth's ball in the trees was 'kicked back off a patron'. He was able to hit the green from there. When your luck is in you take your chances. If the amateur had his first ball on 18 'kicked back off a patron' he might have been leading.
From what I've seen Dustin Johnson is playing the best golf. If he gets his putter going he can win. Last year he burned up the back nine.
ps
T V Coverage is poor this year, all putts and very few approach shots shown from the chasing pack, hope it improves this evening.

American tv's coverage is brutal. It only showed Spieth and McIlroy's drives and virtually chips & putt's from everyone else. When McIlroy dropped back thye dropped him from the coverage altogether
Mcilroys charge not happening as he continues to struggle with his game. The golf today has generally been much better with a few guys trying to make things happen. I pretty much want anyone but speith to win

Westwood making a bit of a move. Would be great to see him win it.
If rory ever wants to win this then he may want to learn how to play 10 and 11. Same rot every time
Peter Alliss really sickens my tits.
It's about time he was put out to pasture. He called Dustin Johnson,Dustin Hoffman and he has called Jordan Speith Justin about 4 times already.
It's fairly uninspiring stuff. Unless Speith blows up, he's going to win this handily.

Implosion by Spieth, I think he will get a quadruple bogey here, six over in three holes at amen corner, some test of character for Spieth now.
DJ growing a pair of balls here? If he manages this put for eagle he certainly has.
Typical Westwood there.
Willets to mess up now! Madness
Rory's round was crazy today, a bit like the whole day itself I suppose :-)
7 Birdies
6 Bogeys
5 Pars
This has gone from one of the most biring final days to one of the best. Love the way people either love or hate speith. Must say im delighted but still in shock he has done a rory
These Kerry men are everywhere!

Crazy stuff from Spieth but he'll win it again... If he knocks this in there's a birdie chance on 16 and who knows but I think he's too far gone.
Fair play Willett I like him and he's played well... DJ and Westwood true to form no balls when it counted!!
PS. Alisa needs to be put out to pasture too long out of the game and likes to spit off too much we're interested in golf not his opinion on how it used to be!!

Alliss long past his sell-by-date. As Big Jack said about us, the Beeb don't give up their heroes easily. Hard to know what it is there is to dislike about Spieth, maybe it's the all-engulfing KK-like hype? Willett first man with a tat to win Masters?

What has he done to be so polarizing?
People don't like Spieth because he's slow. Don't think Willet can sign balls till signed scorecard.

He is an unreal putter but not in Days or Rory's league when it comes to the rest of his game. He might win a few more masters because of it but I don't see him winning many others. I know he won us open last year but that was on a wide one course and DJ gifted it to him.

Add 2 runner ups to in the Masters to that list as well AND he's only 22. . . He's far from ordinary.

Of course he'll be back. People don't like him because he has stolen Mcilroys thunder. Mcilroy was going to be world number 1 for the next decade and then Speith came along.
Wouldn't be surprised if Speith wins one of the other majors this year.

Had Spieth parred 12 would he have won? Probably I'd say. What happened there more than likely influenced so much of what happened subsequently.

Fair play to him for that interview it's a tough time for him and he's handled it well so far.

Danny Willett played in the 2007 Walker Cup team with Rory at Royal County Down.
Dustin Johnson was on the USA team.
I hate this absolute bollox in the cabin.

Fair play to him for that interview it's a tough time for him and he's handled it well so far.
I fancy him to win the Masters again before McIlroy wins one!!
On way to the chalet to mark his card, he told the press to stop taking photos...... Hmmmm yep he handled it well
Spieth completely zombied there.
Did Speith have the option of playing 3 of the tee on 12th. Tbought that would have been an easier shot than the pitch he hit in water
Unreal round by Willet. Has looked a contender in making for a while now
My advice to Spieth ... leave Augusta National, head for the nearest ATM, stick your card in the machine, enter PIN, choose 'View Balance' ... it should say somewhere around $40M ... all's grand!

Had Spieth parred 12 would he have won? Probably I'd say. What happened there more than likely influenced so much of what happened subsequently.
And the prize for stating the bleeding obvious goes to.......
Had he parred 12, he would have been -5 to Willett's -4; maybe real pressure on his wonky driving may have derailed him as it was.
Once again Dustin had the chance to win (imo) at the end. Chance for birdie missed (hard putt I know ) and then hits the bunker next hole. Switched telly off and went to bed.
Will back him again for the next major again just in case.
QuoteDid Speith have the option of playing 3 of the tee on 12th. Tbought that would have been an easier shot than the pitch he hit in water

Yes he did.
He also had the option of going to the drop zone where he could have flown a full shot in. I don't think he realized this at the time. Bad mistake.

Yes he is the one that should be more pissed off than anyone. If he sank 1/3rd of his 10 footers all week he would have romped this. He missed an eagle putt on the 15th also after an incredible 2nd shot through the branches. Someone on here says he doesn't have balls to win one then take another look at that shot. If he ever gets his putter going in majors he will start winning them handy. I'll keep backing him.

Me too.
DJ had 2 more makeable eagle putts on 8 and 13. His first putt up the slope on the 5th also cost him.
Could have been in much better shape for Speith's collapse. Fair play to Willet, his brother was some value on twitter.
2 places myself with fitzpatrick (250/1) and DJ. A total profit of £8 after my losses at Aintree!! Skybet paying 8 places at 1/4 odds was a great offer.

Aye right! The cup hit about five balls in the drink at least, Speith had a 7, cup took a thirteen, nit even remotely close.

I don't think it's anything to do with balls on Johnsons part, he had a similarly brilliant shot on the 18th at Chambers Bay last year but missed the putts. And that's the problem, he isn't a good enough putter. I do think he will win majors but he will need to improve his putting.

Agreed. I hate this theory in sport that if anyone doesn't deliver somehow they don't have any balls.... Perhaps there are aspects of their game that just ain't good enough. In Johnson's case its his putting!

I think Johnson is by far a better putter than McIlroy. So Dustin's lack of majors must also be attributable to other factors.

McIlroy i feel is the sort of player that has to be razor hot in order to win. Much like Tiger when he is he blows the field away. I could never see Rory digging out a win at Augusta.

Both Major wins in 2014 weren't runaways though, in particular he had to come from behind in the PGA to win that year.

I agree on DJ - it is not lack of balls, it is down to poor putting under pressure. He is a streaky putter but not consistent enough. When he wins 1 major he could potentially end up half a dozen.
I will certainly stick by him - he owes me nothing and I love watching him - his 2nd on 15 last night was awesome to say the least and that took balls.
As for Rory - he plays crap, puts like shit, was poor mentally and ended up only 6 behind.....his problem is not his game or his ability - it is down to his caddie. JP is nowhere near strong enough to handle a superstar and order and advise him what to do. Rory should hire Steve Williams immediately for 20 weeks a year - that would sort the thing out !!!
Think your overestimating a caddies importance. Obviously the caddy doesent hit the shot but JP isn't some fella McIlroy got out of the pub to caddy for him. He is an experienced caddy and used to caddy for Els and Els spoke highly of him apparently. Think people are very quick to apportion blame to JP when McIlroy plays like shit. And Rory seems ruthless enough that if he thought JP was holding him back he would get rid of him in a heartbeat.

[/quothe
Williams is a racist bully, why would he associate with a tr**p like that?
Give me fluff anyway.
What happened with Speith can happen to any golfer at any level, its what makes golf such a great game and such a frustrating game at the same time. Willet is a decent player but not one I'd have pegged to win a major, but sure if Clarke can...Speith will be back stronger for this. At the end of the day he is only 22. He can think his way around a course and is not a gym bunny relying on big hits.
Don't like that Willet guy has a head you could put in Chain armour and the white suit with the st georges cross on it....

Heard some hack on Off the Ball making that point. Rory is strong willed and will do what he wants. Doesn't want a caddie debating shot choice with him, wants him for yardage etc. Some players like Spieth prefer to discuss shots with caddie.

Listen if he was Irish you'd have ones on here hating him....
Rory lost cause he'd a shit two days... When he wins he's played well over the 4 days.... Could he win more competitions?? Yeah, is it ultimately down to poor caddies or not listening to them? I doubt it very much, because when he wins he must listen to the caddie then, sounds silly

Aye I'm sure lots of people were waiting for an inevitable collapse from him and he just kept it together. Showed good mental strength when movement in the crowd at the 18th put him off his stride but he was able to reset his process and hit it straight down the fairway.

It's hard to know. On the one hand he reacted brilliantly with birdies on the next 2 holes. On the other hand he's one of those players who backs off on every shot which says to me he's battling his demons and that aspect is now only going to get much worse.

Great composure.... He's 22.... Plenty major tournaments left in him.. Seems though they never play it safe, even though they know its the best thing to do... Arrogance or immaturity?? Probably the latter on his part...

You get your wee ball in a hole in 3 to 5 shots, what the f**k chances are you really taking, it's not like he's doing a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre in F1 ffs, he is hitting a tiny ball, this is another "sport" where the players and organisers must pinch themselves at the money they get. ::)

Players and organisers don't dictate prize money. Public interest does. And as there are hundreds of millions of people across the word who understand that maintaining perfect hand eye coordination under immense psychological pressure is beyond the grasp of 99.9% of people, they justify the reward.
By the way, F1 my hole. 90% of every race is decided by equipment (if you have the best equipment and it doesn't fail on the day, then you will be there abouts), 9% by patience. 1% by skilled movements.
Fair play to Willet, I watch too much golf and he has been grinding away on the European tour, he is one of the more likeable Brits. At the end of the day though Speith had one bad hole which lost him the Masters. He will win more Majors, as someone said 2,1,2 not a bad masters record.

Great composure.... He's 22.... Plenty major tournaments left in him.. Seems though they never play it safe, even though they know its the best thing to do... Arrogance or immaturity?? Probably the latter on his part...
I suppose taking the chances (and they work) makes them the cut above

Multi millionares hitting a wee ball into a hole under immense pyschological pressure my hole, you really have lost the concept of reality here.
By the way of the 99.9% of the people who don't get it how many can actually afford to start golf at an early age, it is an elitist bore-fest, no doubt you play it off 9 or 10 and you feel this elevates you within society and your peers! :o ::)

So it's becoming clearer now. You have a chip on your shoulder about people who do well for themselves. Ah well, poor you.
It's interesting though that you simultaneously trumped the merits of F1 earlier. I guess the super wealthy don't bother you as much as the wealthy do.

It is interesting you can't read, F1 is another elitist bore-fest, point out where I trumped the merits of F1 or else apologise. I was pointing out that unlike F1 a golfer doesn't really take chances, what's he going do hit it a bit harder, so apologise or learn to read.

Don't like that Willet guy has a head you could put in Chain armour and the white suit with the st georges cross on it....
Thought he celebrated a bit too early and all the goings on with his phone....
If his name was Paddy o Hara, people wud love him-He's a breath of fresh air who played like he owned the joint-fair pucks to him
Listen if he was Irish you'd have ones on here hating him....
Rory lost cause he'd a shit two days... When he wins he's played well over the 4 days.... Could he win more competitions?? Yeah, is it ultimately down to poor caddies or not listening to them? I doubt it very much, because when he wins he must listen to the caddie then, sounds silly
You'd also get the ones who don't give a toss about anything else and blindly follow the 'He's Irish so I have to like him' mantra. Takes all sorts...

Classy, west belfast classy.

He's middle class now, needs something to try and impress his new social class.

He just is an ignorant individual who likes to call people derogatory swear works on the interweb but cry when someone does it to him, he's middle class you know.

I couldn't really give a feck to be honest, what annoys me is the stupid reasons people have a gross dislike for him.... there is not a driven sportsman out there that hasn't flaws... not one... hating is a wasted emotion, you should always look at the good in people ;)

Jesus lad you never give up!! no fault of their own? explain? If you are talking about genuine people who have lost their job and on job seekers allowance (meaning they are searching for work or going on schemes to re train) then that's ok... if you are talking about people with real disabilities, no fault of their own, cant get work, then that's fine... as for wasters that use the system to stay unemployed and rip the arse right out of it then no I don't hate them, I just wish they'd get a job and actually see it would benefit everybody....
Obviously you agree with that?
Now this is a golf thread on the Masters and you've managed to troll me here!! :-X
Time to close 'er down - the tournament is over.
