Jon I did delete it as it seemed a rather superfluous question given the information contained on the previous 7 pages, however I do thank you for your detailed and concise response.

Thanks, I asked about being blind - but really I was more relieved that I wasn"t just going crazy (always more of a concern for me :-\ )
APAT:
Will the England team be bringing WAGS to Nottingham, as we"re considering introducing Page 3 to the magazine.
Joking aside, team spirit is a very important part of succeeding in this event, so I would suggest a more relaxed approach to debating selection would be sensible.
I trust Brian to make the right decisions in putting the England team together and when several national champions have yet to represent their countries in this event, it is clear that no single result should determine positions.
APAT regularly introduce "rules" during a season with full knowledge that they may get debated. We always listen to member opinion but ultimately we make the final decision on where appropriate. The suggestion that we bowed to pressure is wrong. The right decision was made I believe.
With that said, I"d love to see Don and Carl selected. They are both long term and loyal APAT members but as such, both will fully understand how APAT works.
I"d appreciate if we could now move on a little and give the Captain some time to think.
TheSnapper:
Contentious issue this and thankfully so, it shows that we are passionate about the event and keen to participate. I wasn"t in favour of the proposed rule myself and expressed that view early. My position remains, if the desired outcome for a team selection system is to pick the best team! using criteria for qualification from a small sample is meaningless and is not aligned with that desired outcome at all. However I do understand that some individual aspirations have taken a hit and not a trivial hit either.
Reading this thread reminded of this quote.
"To be proven wrong should be celebrated, for it is elevating someone to a new level of understanding"
PS. Murray is in no way a cert and will need to stay on his toes ;D ;D

Oh and John as much as I respect you both as a player and a gentleman, Carl is entitled to voice his opinion on the forum and I suggest that if you are fed up with him banging on then don"t bother reading this particular thread. After all I am sure that your place on the Irish Team is very secure. ;)

In a rankings based selection process I think John may well secure a place in any team ;)
