I am fairly bemused by Scottish Fencing's selection poilcy.
Let someone train all year towards a specific fixture so that he has spent a lot of time and money qualifying, so he gets into the shape of his life, have him outqualify his competitors, then change the rules after the fact to make sure you don't have to pick him for reasons of your own.
The subsequent year, when he has spent a the year coasting, hardly going training, attending fewer competitions and sitting in his flat eating cake and drinking wine on his own, put him in the squad! Oh but make sure the notice is so tight he will struggle to get the day off work.
You would think we were all amateurs or something...
