Fed up of hearing about Shane Lowry

Endless stuff. Theresa Mannion did a bad job on the tv last night from his clubhouse. But have had enough at this stage. Who shares this fedupness? How do you escape it? Start a thread on boards?

Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.

Reminds me of a Waterford Whispers article about "local man not sure why he's depressed on Mondays after heavy weekend of drinking..."

AHH jaysus lads, it's only been a few hours. If it's still going on next week I'll be back giving out...

Shane is Mike's brother

His da did my hall tiles.

If you don't like the coverage then just turn it off.
He's a nice chap, it's great that he's done well. Get over it.

Suck it up for a few days and then it'll be forgotten.

Genuinely nice guy - tremendous achievement after previous heartbreak

Stop being a d1ck!

You were posting in the event thread yesterday OP, you're your own worst enemy.

You need a 30 day social media detox . Get some perspective back in your life.

kneemos

It's the ****ing endless deification of himself and everyone around him.
Embarrassing shoite.

olestoepoke

And there it is the Irish begrudgery. Its a wonderful achievement from an Irishman so lets all just enjoy it and be happy for him and his family

leitrim4life

It could be worse, Rory could have won.

JohnnyFlash

Good news story featuring a genuinely nice lad in a season that’s quiet for news. Certainly better than the endless outrage that seems to make up news coverage these days.

FFred

I heard he’s on Offaly nice guy to be fair to him ...

Marty Xavier

WHAT A GUY! WHAT A WIN!

bobbyss

That's true. Imagine though had he. We would never hear the end of it.

Exactly it's only been a few hours. Let the man enjoy it FFS. He's a nice fella by all accounts and is a huge Offaly GAA fan so deserves a bit of success!

Sabre0001

It just happened and it's a nice distraction from all the other crap going on at the moment

feargale

Mods should amalgamate this thread with the one just opened by the guy who is annoyed by bus drivers saluting each other.

Endless?? It finished at around 6pm yesterday and it's now lunchtime the following day. You're perception of time might be a tad off OP.

Laois_Man

I think I heard more ****e about Tiger winning the Masters back in April.

Yet when an Irishman wins the open, then it's a problem!

Typical snowflakes with the attention span of about 10 seconds.

Have the English claimed his as theirs yet since the win?

You've obviously never played a round of 18 holes. You need to be physically fit and strong.

Hal3000

Yeah less of Lowry and more Gangland, or how about Brexit or some other miserable sh*te... Get a grip. What a win... Suck it up.

He won a major international sporting event playing against the best in the world. I say let him have all the coverage coming his way. He deserves it and sadly it'll be gone in a couple of days as the rest of the summer will be full of wall to wall Dublin media coverage of the Dubs winning an Irish only competition for the who cares any more time in a row. In two months we'll be hanging for a genuine sporting achievement like Shane's.

Well my view on golf courses is lay concrete over the lot of em and build bloody houses not grown men using sticks and little balls.

I tell ya what. He is far more worthy of airwaves than those Irish saps on Love Island.

In fairness, it's not like he landed on the moon.
Although that would be one hell of shot.

DavyD_83

Where do you actually get bombarded by this stuff? These threads always give me the impression there's 50 for billboards on every corner, and people shouting about it on the streets.
My only experience, and the only reason I know who he is, was my dad taking about it for an hour yesterday.
If I hadn't seen him, I'd still be oblivious.
That said, in quit Facebook a whole back, and don't use Instagram or Twitter.
Only place I see this stuff is on board, and would usually just ignore as another "sports guy did sports stuff" thread

marketty

As the man himself would say "ah ya fxckin idiot"

Odyssey 2005

Cop on rory, you were crap,if it was you we'd never hear the end of it.

Not nearly as annoying as the Women's Hockey Team.

Completely forgotten about now of course.

Not yet, but we're still going on about a Ray Houghton goal from 31 years ago.

Ahh you can’t beat the Irish

Begrudge everyone of everything

It’s not even 24 hours, I said your mother was boasting about you doing a number 2 in pottie longer than the Lowry hype has gone on

Possibly so, but at Shane's level it is quite lucrative and tough. Not a fan myself but I don't begrudge him the win or his time in the limelight.

Mad_maxx

He's likeable unlike that cabbage patch kid from county down who can't decide what his nationality is.

If it's that head-wrecking for you, why were you posting in the Golf forum yesterday? Let Shane have his glory. There will be more footage of him returning to Esker Hills (his own golf club) today or tomorrow, and then it'll be a fading memory.

As for that netball on BBC for the past week...!!! :mad: :pac:

The Rape of Lucretia

This was the biggest sporting event ever held on the island (no Monty, the Ryder Cup is not really bigger). Abroad technically, but still. And great majority of the fans there were Irish.
An Irish man wins one of the most coveted sporting titles there is. Only the second Irish man to win a major golf title. And an genuine nice guy, who has been up and down and fought his way back to form to beat a very tough field of competition, in all manner of testing conditions, on a truly outstanding world class golf course, shooting a round on Saturday that ranks with the best any of the past golfing greats have done. Bloody impressive.
He deserves the spotlight and recognition thoroughly.

It was a magnificent achievement no doubt about that. And fair play to him. I wouldn't take anything away from him and he has done the country proud.

As regards a golfer needing to be physically fit I agree with you. Phil Nicholson acknowledged being overweight (and presumably feeling unfit) and I read somewhere in an effort to lose weight he lost eight pounds, was it, in one week.
