rocket_scientist Posted August 13, 2013 Report Posted August 13, 2013 Westwood's meltdown on twitter was funny and a reminder why I don't do facebook and twitter. I get in to enough trouble spikkin shite as I do to a dozen hapenny AFC cunts on online forums let alone dealing with the world. You don't have to be famous to make an arse of yourself but the amount of times I could make an arse of myself if the media was wide enough, I don't need the additional exposure. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted August 18, 2013 Report Posted August 18, 2013 Solheim Cup two years ago was awesome viewing. This year equally fantastic. Get on it folks. Quote

rocket_scientist Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 Great value bet available at Ladbrokes. Might have to move smartish. GB & I are already 1 up in 3 and All Square after 1 in the 4th. Quote
Andrew Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Has everyone else who signed up for ryder cup tickets received an email about new tickets? Just worried its phishing but seems legit. Quote
Andrew Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Ignore the above. I just signed in and they have a big picture of me. I'm sure it's not a scam. Quote
BigAl Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Pretty pissed off......however money I'll save on that, will make it easier to convince her indoors that I will need a golfing trip abroad again next September.......every cloud and all that, I guess Got tickets today for the Sunday And because of the way this worked out, also got five days golfing in Spain just after it Andrew, hope you were lucky today as well Quote
Kowalski Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Got tickets today for the Sunday Might see you in the bar Quote
Andrew Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 I also bought tickets for Sunday. Forgot how expensive they were! Really looking forward to it though. Quote
Kowalski Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 Good to see Stephen Gallagher get picked Quite looking forward to going on the Sunday, hope it's a good day out and not a rammy trying to see some golf. Quote
Kowalski Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 I'm only monitoring it online but looks like Gallacher and Poulter took a bit of a pounding this morning. Did they both have a mare? Looking forward to going on Sunday, hope it's not a total rammy. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 Aye poulter and Gallacher had a nightmare, Gallacher looked really bothered by nerves and poulter didn't look to be firing on all cylinders, don't think he's all that comfortable having to be the safe one in the pairing, but he had to be due to Gallacher being in trouble almost constantly. Speith and reed were good but poulter and Gallacher pretty much handed them it. Quote
Kowalski Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Good day out, managed to see Donaldson's winning shot. Very busy and very expensive though. Disappointing there was no Scottish beer on offer - £5 for a pint of Red Stripe or Guinness. WTF. Course is great though. Quote
Kowalski Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Sky will broadcast the Open Championship from 2017 after winning exclusive live rights. The broadcaster has signed a five-year deal to show the oldest of golf's major championships, the R&A announced. The BBC, which has previously broadcast the tournament live, will now show a two-hour daily highlights package between 20:00 and 22:00. The BBC will show this year's Open at St Andrews and the 2016 tournament at Royal Troon live on television. From 2017, the BBC will continue to provide live radio coverage of the tournament on BBC Radio 5 live, and to cover the tournament online. Director of BBC Sport Barbara Slater said: "We're obviously disappointed that we were unable to retain live TV coverage of The Open Championship. "However, we're pleased to be continuing our 60-year partnership with the R&A and feel that a comprehensive two-hour highlights programme - a format which has already proven successful - in a prime-time slot over four days will allow us to continue to bring all the best action and key moments from The Open to a large free-to-air audience on TV, radio and online." Peter Dawson, chief executive of the R&A said: "We have enjoyed a long and successful relationship with the BBC and, although the nature of that relationship is changing from 2017, we are delighted that the BBC will broadcast prime-time highlights and that the Championship will continue to benefit from extensive live coverage on Radio 5 Live and online. "Importantly, the new agreement will enable us to increase substantially our support for golf in the United Kingdom and Ireland. "That our increased commitment to golf in both countries is to be supported by both Sky Sports and the BBC is a hugely positive step for our sport." Money talks. Quote
manc_don Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 "Importantly, the new agreement will enable us to increase substantially our support for golf in the United Kingdom and Ireland. What a load of shite. Quote
Kowalski Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 More money + less viewers. I've ditched Sky Sports and I doubt I'm the only one. If BT swallow up more EPL matches in the next round of broadcast rights, I'm sure others will do the same. Sky Sports is simply not worth paying for anymore. Quote
Tyrant Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 I phoned Sky the other day and told them I wanted to bin Sky Sports. But apparently because I've got a deal with broadband linked with my Sky Sports I'd only save £15 a month if I went ahead. The boy ended up giving me £15 off for the next 8 months and I get to keep Sky Sports. Nae bad. Phone Sky and plead skint if you want to save some money. I keep telling myself I'm going to bin it entirely once my contract is up. Quote

rocket_scientist Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 With the field being reduced to 16 from 64 tomorrow, I pick Kuchar to win it at the end of the week. Quote
RicoS321 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Posted April 10, 2016 Pish flaps. Speith going to shite. Westwood just nails an eagle. Great finish to what I thought was going to be a simple conclusion. Great viewing. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted April 11, 2016 Report Posted April 11, 2016 Feel sorry for the lad but thank fuck it's not Speith. The press here has been almost unbearable Quote
minijc Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Looking forward to the open starting tomorrow, hoping that Danny lee goes well. Quote
manc_don Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 Well, looks ominous for Europe at the moment. Some very enjoyable games over the weekend, not been able to watch today's plays but looks like the Us are absolutely dominating them Quote
rocket_scientist Posted October 2, 2016 Report Posted October 2, 2016 The quality of golf was outstanding. Mickleson made 10 birdies and yet only good enough for a half v. Garcia. Reed and McIlroy were on fire on the front 9. Congratulations to Love and the US team. Good for the competition that they won. Quote
