Brian O'Driscoll at Wimbledon

Our Brian gets around doesn't he? I didn't think he was that much into tennis. Close by was some royal or other. Hmm ...

Person goes to Wimbledon shocker

kevinkilbane · 08-07-2017 01:09PM

Couldnt give two fuks. Cop on

blade1 · 08-07-2017 01:10PM

FFS, you'd swear he was playing or something.

ButtersSuki · 08-07-2017 01:10PM

All part of a carefully constructed plan to boost his profile in the UK I suspect. Though most Irish people would recognise him I'd imagine very few outside rugby circles across the water would have a clue who he is.

Possibly a freebie or an arranged trip from one of his many sponsors.

Or he could just really like tennis.

pc7 · 08-07-2017 01:10PM

He's been a few times in previous years, fair play if he enjoys it

Timberrrrrrrr · 08-07-2017 01:11PM

Sports personality enjoys watching a different sport than the one he played

Who'da thunk it?

hairyslug · 08-07-2017 01:14PM

Nearly sure he's been there before and if he can afford it, to get in the fancy box, why not.

Wanderer2010 · 08-07-2017 01:15PM

Dont know why he is sitting near some royal, is he too good to slum it with the ordinary crowd?

Clonmel1000 · 08-07-2017 01:16PM

Who?

greencap · 08-07-2017 01:19PM

Yeah I agree with that.
Most sports commentators would be able to point him out to the viewers. He may indeed like tennis, who knows. I don't know if he has a manager type person advising him on engagements but a shrewd move indeed.

Bob Geldof, Wogan (I think) became OBEs or Sirs or whatever so I would imagine if he keeps doing his bit he may well be next in line. Nothing to stop him accepting a knighthood and best of luck to him.

Yeah I think that's a fair point.

Now that I think of it she also has a ... eh ... writing career. She is, I understand a published ... eh ... author.

Think it was proven she places her name on it while someone else/a no name author writes it

A place for men to discuss each others' jewels.

Do you know if he was on the stout the night before?

You cannot be serious OP...

Badly Drunk Boy · 08-07-2017 02:01PM

Apparently, he's playing Conor McGregor and Henry Shefflin in the ladies final.

murpho999 · 08-07-2017 03:04PM

This actually made news in the indo.

This used to be a quality paper but has now become a rag that is also obsessed with Amy Huberman.

They are trying to make this couple out to be the darlings of Ireland,, like a royal family that everyone in Ireland is obsessed with when the truth is that nobody gives a sh1te.

Apologies in advance for posting this link

Lots of people enjoy watching tennis. What's the big deal? I'd love to go to Wimbledon. My friend and I toyed with getting in the cancellation line one year but as it's London and as hot as the devil's armpit in summertime, we just couldn't hack it.

Yeah. He was a great I have to say. Does a lot with BT sports. I would almost say he is based in the UK at this stage but of that I am not sure. She is about as average an actress as they come. I never knew he frequented Wimbeldon at all. Still, keeping himself in the British spotlight is no bad thing for his future prospects in the media.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 08-07-2017 03:34PM

Oh catch yourself on OP. Someone known to the public goes to watch the tennis. Big deal. David Beckham was there yesterday. The TV will show known names in the crowd. It's hardly earth shattering, career building, or attention seeking. They just went to watch the tennis.

No,he is not based in the UK and is on Newstalk regularly.

Search the indo and you can read all about their travails in buying a house in Dublin and getting planning permission for an extension.
