Quote from: An Watcher on April 14, 2024, 11:55:07 PMA great achievement from a great player but he does remind me of Steve interesting Davis.  I hate it when the back 9 becomes a procession
The broadcasters must hate it!

Yeah its hard to beat a back 9 meltdown at one of the Majors. Never looked likely from Scheffler.

All the other contenders had a double, Morikawa had 2 of them. What looked like a very close contest as the last group were  around 7/8 became a procession. No pressure on Scheffler. He seems like a good guy so fair play to him

Too many missed short putts and too many   brain farts. Will probably do the usual and end up with a couple of good rounds to finish in the top 5 after he has played himself out of contention. Defo needs a proper caddy to sort his head out.

Got a complete schooling from Scheffler on course management. That trip to see Butch in Vegas doesn't appear to have improved much.

His course management has always been atrocious. I remember Jay Haas calling it yrs ago and Rory couldn't handle his criticism. That was way back when he had JP on the bag who was also just a yes man. Funnily enough one of the few times he really needed to go for it was that last round at st Andrews a couple of yrs back and for whatever reason didn't.

Frustrating from Rory played well in difficult conditions but could easily be on about -4, too many sloppy shots on the back 9. Fitzpatrick is another one who managed to turn a great round into something quite ordinary

The masters should be perfect for Mcilroy who hits the ball high and long, unfortunately his wedge play and putting in recent yrs has been poor.

First one is quite good, I was forced then to watch the second one, probably better to poke your own eyes out, awful shit

Zero interest in joint rule would just be a massive fudge for 50 years

Quote from: GTP on March 29, 2024, 08:59:09 PMThe SF representatives mentioned are stepping down at the next election so again no bye election required.

Gildernew is contesting the European seat in June. Will she step down if elected? She should, but with Westminster election one a few months later I wonder would there be any point.
My understanding is dual mandates are not permitted so she would have to resign. Bye election would depend on if a general election was to be within the 3 months of resignation.

With General Election looming surely now the DUP are looking over there shoulders in South Antrim, East Belfast and now Lagan Valley.

Regarding FST - Sinn Fein will need a strong candidate to hold that seat. No doubt they face a unity Unionist Candidate with it going to the wire.

With demographic shift FST should finally be beyond Unionism even with a unity candidate. I think this year they will win comfortably, although comfortably in FST in recent years has been double figures😂.

Lagan valley most certainly is in play, will be interesting to see how the unionist community reacts to the Donaldson fall out, will they keep voting DUP to keep SF out, will they drift to the TUV headbangers. If the UUP don't massively profit from this crisis then they truly are finished.

SA now looks good for UUP. EB, LV and even EA and Strangford could see big improvements for Alliance with maybe a couple of gains.

If the nationalist voters bothered to turn up in upper bann for a change then SF  could come through the middle of a split unionist vote. EL is similar but would need a miracle perfect storm.

Poyet to be the new Ireland manager as Georgia beat Greece on penalties.



Awesome a coach who can't even get Greece to the euros through the back door of dud teams, can't wait. Might as well stick with o'shea

The gentlemen was surprisingly good. Full swing was great especially the Ryder cup parts, found myself feeling sorry for Keegan Bradley for not getting picked as he actually seems like a nice guy compared to how he comes across on the course. I do like Rory but can understand why he puts a lot of people off, very marmite and on looking back the parking lot incident all seems rather childish now.
Gone back to house MD for some reason and forgot how good it was so about 8 seasons of that to work through again ;D

Just had a look on Wikipedia it was the nineties, we won just 8 games in 10 yrs. I remember it well we were garbage. We couldn't beat France or Scotland would have an occasional win over England and then beat Wales in Cardiff but Lose to them in Dublin. Changed times.

Reconciliation is ideal as is a 70%+ pro UI vote but in reality both are not needed nor are they realistic
