    Any of you follow him on twitter.

    Appears to be drunk and unloading his frustration at the lads who give him abuse.

    Him and Joey Barton of all people teaming up.

    Very cringe and I can't only imagine how embarrassed he is going to be when he sobers up.

    He's surely been hacked? He's rambling like a madman....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,133 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    Jaysus,

    Could see in his interviews that he is sick of it all. He does get too much stick. But taking on the internet alone is a bad idea.

    GreeBo you could be offered a big job in twitter soon.

    ForeRight is often hacked here.

    Some absolute gold coming from him.
    "The spelling on Twitter is diabolical"
    Rich coming from the lad asking "Havnt people gone quite?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭tmc86


    I'd say it's actually him! he's ballsy I'll give him that, last thing you'd want to do is take on Joey "Twitter" Barton!

    Id say there is a big piss up after some of the events , I'd say dufner's was the best since D. Clarke's year long one.

    Nice of him finding a way to keep his PR team busy on a Monday!

    Some funny stuff.

    I'm now following him!

    He will come out with mum read a statement, then do Oprah, he was at the low point. Go on win 3 majors, happy US ending.

    "I cried that day ",
    " I found God, a new putter too".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭tmc86


    Luckily it seems to be nipped in the bud. What you don't want to see are silly news stories about twitter and taking the full focus off of Duffner's achievement. He played some absolutely sensational golf yesterday!

    If he finds God, and sets up a joint twitter account with Webb Simpson, I may cry

    If he finds out how to solve putting problems
    where do i sign .

    After Jeff Overtons rant, not a good week for golfers on Twitter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,733 ✭✭✭SnowDrifts


    Just said the following on the other thread... Being drunk and pissed off at your game and twitter is not a good combination. Twitter can be great to get insight from players but there are some amount of clowns on it just trying to provoke. Think Lee would be better off to ignore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭ForeRight

    ForeRight is often hacked here.


    Greebo is forever hacking my account and posting then going back into his own and giving out to me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,733 ✭✭✭SnowDrifts


    Anyone have any idea what Ian Baker Finch said about Lee last night? Lee seems to have had a few digs at him also. Or maybe he is unhappy about a putting lesson!

    Only at the majors, he does it to me when ive a few beers in me.

    Yes ok for hackers to make a fool of themselves, but Lee ?

    I can see his point, he is sort of saying that it is time to control things. Could there be a move against freedom on the net ? It seems to be in the media at the moment.

    Also, Monty was hard on him last night. It was a bit ironic to hear monty say why lee will never win a major.

    You could see Lee is a bit tired of media with the questions about his downfalls. He is at a low.

    GreeBo this shows why your way here is the way. Fair play.

    Westwood gets Gee Eyed, but he needed to get Gree Bo'ed a few hours ago.
    Greebo, expect the call from Chubby Chandler tomorrow.

    Ok , Greebo will leave you now.

    But, hope you never forget all the people here who helped you get to the top,

    BBC - " Lee why did you shank that last putt , is this an issue for you in your game, now the past as a child".
    Lee - " id like Greebo to answer this one ".

    Lee wouldn't even get a word out of his mouth there as greebo would have a big fat infarct in the journos face


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭sydneybound


    Just came across his twitter and after scrolling down the page the first comment I read is Lee saying to someone 'and you drink halves. Rent boy!' this is going to be interesting reading, made my boring Monday morning! Better get back to twitter I mean work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 904 ✭✭✭realgolfgeek


    in a nutshell, what an absolute f*ckin toss pot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭Squiggle


    It's killing Westwood that he can't win a major - comes across as a begrudger in much the same way that Garcia does. I don't think either of them will ever win a major because of their putting woes.

    Ah leave it out this place needs greebo

    God I'm shocked to be honest. I signed up to twitter about 3 years ago. Followed GMAC, Poulter and McIlroy but I'd say I've signed into it once since then.
    Reading Westwoods stuff there, I am finidng it hard to know who is saying what as I am not familiar with it. But it's very undignifed for a lad like Westwood to be getting involved in that. Ok..so they're hammered. And I imagine Clarke is with him and a few others and they are all probably taking part in it.

    But it's all a bit, I dont know, common LOL :-)

    No problem with Westwood here at all. If people went to watch him on course and started volleying abuse they'd be arrested, so why should they be allowed do same thing on twitter? only thing i've a problem with is bragging about the money he's making, that's never classy. Reminds me of the story i once heard of a certain irish football, not overly blessed in the brain cell department, waving a big wad of cash at a bunch of rival football fans in a car park.
