Tromso Olympiad 2014

Rather than worrying about how the captain is selected what about the whole selection procedure?

It cannot be right that players in the team are also selectors! In other words selecting themselves.

Debating the entire selection procedure might have its place Joe, but rather than trying to muddy the waters or distract from the issue at hand right now, why don't you speak to Andy M and ask him to be open and honest about what he has done/is doing? If everyone, or even a majority supported his decisions we wouldn't even be discussing this just now, would we?

Here we have someone doing a job no-one else wants, but out of the woodwork comes people wanting to do things differently and better. Stand for election at the AGM then.
I can accept that some of this thread is about accountability, but is this really the time to create tension in the Olympiad squad?

Jim, just because someone is the only person who stands for a role doesn't mean that they are unaccountable for their actions or has carte blanche to do as they please.
This thread is almost entirely about accountability - and who do you think created the tension in the Olympiad squad?
There is nothing 'personal' about my disagreement with Andy M, just as I imagine there is nothing personal about the majority of the Scotland squads disagreement with and dismay at Andy M's actions.

I do have to say I am saddened by some of the responses posted here - not because they disagree with my own opinions (I'm used to that!) but simply because they do not even attempt to address the most basic questions which myself and other CS members have asked.
