I wouldn't give Gilroy that much credit. He is at it the whole time,and it strikes me that he is looking to showcase his knowledge of his subject to the audience, but in particular the interviewee. Listen to his Off the Ball interviews, I would say the average length of his questions is over 30 seconds.

Gilroy also seems to lack a little bit of skill in reading when an interviewee is getting cheesed off. I can live with the mechanical doping question, but not the follow-up.

I'm a bit late to the party but had a spare 10 mins last night and decided to listen the Gilroy - LA interview. Had to switch it off after four minutes cos I swear LA only said about 5 words in that time because Gilroy was on a quest with his endless question monologues. Without listening to it all Gilroy came across like a very nervous interviewer, to the point of barely letting the interviewee get a word in! I did think LA sounded like he was in bad form from the start, like he just got off the phone from the FBI just before the interview

Is this OneZero yoke someone's attempt at creating a sports version of the Web Summit? If so, I'll gladly add my schadenfreude to this thread.

I think that's exactly what it is.
So it will be wall to wall self important bull****, with people calling themselves 'thought leaders' and 'influencers' speaking their native language of bull****.
I'd nuke both of these if I had the chance.
Not one bit of sympathy for any idiot paying those ticket prices, they're mugs and deserve what they get.

I work in IT and I ****ing hate the word 'Tech', its just become a brand now, with all that that entails.
As for Lowry, he loves to be portrayed as the 'everyman' golfer when he is anything but. He is such a part of this new media establishment it is untrue.

Same. Buzzword, innit, see also "cloud". Reminds me of "web 2.0" - whatever that meant.
Lowry, hmm, the Adele of Golf.

Hahaha, that's a great description of him.
I love the saying 'its not the cloud, its just someone else's computer'

:)

Have a read of 'Disrupted' by Dan Lyons, its about the company Hubspot, but it's a great description of what the whole industry has become, swimming in a sea of it's own self-importance.

He like Paddy Cosgrave doesn't seem to take being interviewed seriously. Dodging questions, refuting claims.

Speaking of which, you'll never guess what Paddy Cosgrave named his first child.....
Cloud :eek:

Ah here, ease up on the Shane lowry bashing, it's not his fault Lance pulled out!

He's a fine golfer and I've hardly heard a dad word about him from anyone who's meet him.

So nobody will get to ask about the e-mails sent to Clinton to get the Jeff Novitsky FDA's case buried, and donations to the Clinton Foundation........or was it too close to the bone when the motors were mentioned in an certain interview.... that a certain Hungarian engineer has admitted were available to a client in 1998 and had meetings with a certain Dr Ferrari at the time..........

Why on earth would Ferrari be interested in motors. He was all about pushing the body beyond its limit. A motor would seem pointless unless all he wanted was to win, but that was likely never the sole reason

The inventor in the interview on Newstalk said Ferrari was interested in them as an alternative to motor pacing (less exposure to fumes) and for injury recovery.

Homer1798 · 21-10-2016 11:14pm

Recoverng from an injury.............like surgery to remove cancer...........but why stop there......."win at all costs".

I thought the Hungarian inventor said on Off the Ball he only met Ferrari 3 years ago?

Well as has been said, whatever Ferrari's motives for interest, if they were introduced to others who weren't as bothered about just the human body...

Excuse me!!!

I was "otherwise engaged" at 9 o'clock on Thursday night (you can blame UEFA for that), then having partaken in a business call at midnight I was back at the airport at 6am the following morning. After work I had some training to do and when I got up this morning I had to load my car up. I had only just completed counting the takings then immediately turned my attention to this thread.....

So you can blame Cram and not me:p
