Old thread
Do we really need a media outrage to have an opinion? Personally I don’t think so, like others, I don’t need the media to form my opinion.
Perhaps a truce might benefit the thread, posters should be allowed to comment, even if it is negative without personal attack.
We don't need a media outrage to have an opinion and I never said we do, I was referring to you commenting that my opinion on the topic says something about me. It must say something about a lot of people in that case.
If you agree to stop the personal attacks, I'm happy with that.
"I sort of liken it to"….They were the words he uses. He didn't equate the LIV-PGA battle to the issues in Northern Ireland. He made a comparison about how two sides in any conflict/negotiation typically leave the table without feeling like they got everything they wanted. He referenced the biggest example of that from Ireland. There's nothing wrong about that. There's zero misstep in that.
You don't like him and like to talk negatively about him at every opportunity. Even when he wins golf tournaments. You're blinded by your own bias.
And there is the peace, posters are free to express an opinion without personal attack or accusations of animus or excessive fandom. I’m happy to sign up to that.
liken to = equating .
Well that didn’t last long, I don’t like or dislike him, he is a high profile sportsman, so what he does stimulates discussion, positivity isn’t a requirement.
yeah, you're missing the massive words before it, "sort of" liken it to. You're presenting it as if he deemed them equivalent, which he clearly did not. Are you suggesting he said they're equivalent?
You do have a strong dislike of him. That much is clear. Unfortunately, you dont set the rules of conduct here.
I'll admit I dislike Mcilroy. For as much as I can dislike somebody I've never met.
But such is celebrity in general. We cast a judgement.
But I dislike him for utterances such as this. So where does that leave me? 😂
2 solid rounds but still 5 shots back. Trending nicely ahead of next week.
Great golf tonight from Rory, the driving was unbelievable
I met once during a private golf event, had some brief conversation with him, found him to be a gentlemen . I closely observed him over the course of the event and how he interacted with ordinary workers , have to see he genuinely came across as a normal and humble guy . No airs and graces whatsoever . My tuppence worth , for what it’s worth
Best I've seen Rory play in a year plus
3 and a half of the best rounds of golf in years for Rory. Hopefully he can finish the job.
Clinical over the last few holes while Xander begins to wither away. Hopefully he closes it out handy from here.
The Rory haters not happy tonight. Magnificent.
Schauffele is having a terrible time with the putter. Unbelievable how bad he's putting.
Not getting birdie from about 20ft fo eagle takes some doing, were awful putts. Rory playing lovely stuff
6 under for last 7 holes. Magnificent.
No surprise, a total bottler, Mcilroy passed him easily. Schuffle is a clone of Patrick Cantlay, the 2 of them will have a decent career, but never win. Mcilroy won the doubles thing with Lowry more or less on his own. Lowry is a clown too. All that screaming and shouting after they won, 2 year exemption for doing virtually nothing. He's turning into Ian Poulter
Everything is off, but the lines he's putting bear no relationship to the actual line to the hole.
When it's your day it's your day !!
Well done Rory !!
This is outrageous golf from Rory
some run the last 8 holes
Ridiculous golf
Best player in the world on this form.
When he's like this it's such a good watch. If he could do this every week…
Roll on next week
Brilliant from Rory. Course suits him in that it is long but the rough isn't penal. His driving yesterday was exceptional. Still some poor shots with wedges but he is hitting straighter shots and isn't dropping shots. Exceptional performance
Anyone check in on @Dav010 👀?
Long, lonely evening to be crying and weeping watching rory soar like an eagle in Quail Hollow while he is bumbling round his sitting room like a turkey.
no course record for rory today
Well done Rory. Great win.
