We win as a team, we fail as a team.

Fine..but under no circumstances will I be walking around Newcastle-under-Lyme with my trousers around my ankles.
I may be face-down in a gutter...but my trousers will be up!

Oh don"t judge him
Fatcatstu:
Well where to start?!?!
I want to say thanks to Phil, Paulie, JB and Matty for being absolute stars on Friday, as i was sure they would be!
Captaining my country was an absolute pleasure and honour, made all the better by firstly the people who shared it with me as team mates, you all played your hearts out and I am genuinely proud of each one of you, with just a few coolers costing us the action in the headsup (Matty"s KJ v AK on the K high flop when he nearly folded! Absolutely unreal player!)
Thanks to Leigh for keeping me well up to date with the points, it stopped me going absolutely mental as opposed to having a mild breakdown in the latter stages of the MTT!
Its a great achievement to come 2nd against such a very strong field, and massive congratulations on the Win to Davey and the Scottish B boys, they were fantastic all the way through and brilliant fun to play against as well. Just a shame we never got the chance to play the 5th headsup match, captain v captain promised to be brutal :D
I loved every second of the experience though, and it is one i would hope i carried out with the dignity and spirit that it deserved, and would dearly love to do again.

the 5th heads up match would have descended into a straight up game of who could drink each other under the table as our capt had already started and as we all know Mr Wards drinking is stuff of legend.
absolutely superb weekend with the best banter and best poker anyone could wish for.
My personal highlight frank Bailie 7 minute dwell drove young rudders mental!
Once again lads superb see you all soon
Paulie_D:
I"m not sure that this has been said before but if it has it bears repeating.
Stu was a brilliant captain on the day.
Whatever may have happened before (or after) his dedication to encouraging the rest of us to the heights we achieved should not be underestimated.
He told me afterwards that he came over to me more than once during the fray with the intention of spurring me on but seeing a look of deep concentration on my face (or more likely it was a fart brewing) he backed off and left me too it.
Not being taken out of the "zone" (if, indeed, I have one) is something I appreciate as much as the numerous times he came over and just told me to keep it going.
You might think there is a contradiction in there but the fine line between joggling my elbow and backing off and leaving me to it was something I appreciate.
Would I leave him alone with the £1k chip or a medal...well, No...but I"d play for him again in a heartbeat.
Much respect My Captain.
