Shane Lynch. What is you opinion of him?

AMKC · 10-09-2020 7:13pm #1

Me it's not much. He was never a good singer because if he was he would have had a few solo hits. He looks rough with horrible tattoos all over. Now he is trying to say he knows all about cars and is working for Scrapyard Supercar challenge. What does he bring in today but a Land Rover Discovery 5 lol. Ye ok it's a good car but nothing special. Its not a supercar do and you would want to go exploring the Australian outback or any desert for that matter in as you would more than likely end up stranded when it breaks down. Besides anything it can do a Suzuki Jimny can do, so can a Fiat Panda 4×4 but a Toyota Landcruiser can do it better so can it's own sibling the Defender. He had a Bentley Brnteyaga on the first episode and some Lamborghini on the 2nd episode.
Anyway I think he is an idiot who has no clue what he is at himself. He even wears a cap in the cars and the wrong way around too. It looks utterly stupid and is just wrong.

Dyr · 10-09-2020 7:15pm

A Land Rover Discovery, you say? The Bastard.

Archeron · 10-09-2020 7:16pm

He has strange taste in eyebrows

Man with broke phone · 10-09-2020 7:16pm

He was skanger spice.

He drove rally cars for a while.

Theres been a load of crap about boyzone splitting up but he was having non of it.

If the mans happy, Im happy.

Four Phucs Ache · 10-09-2020 7:45pm

Nice lad, a friend met him at the 1999 mtv awards in dublin and said he was sound.

Gatling · 10-09-2020 7:52pm

Did he ever find his testicles ,

That time he was on the late late with the boyz he seemed to have lost them.

hynesie08 · 10-09-2020 8:07pm

His dad's a mechanic, lad's probably been around cars since before he could see over the dashboard.

He's travelled the world, made his money and seems happy these days.

Fair ****s to him.

Begrudgery central.

Quantum Erasure · 10-09-2020 9:58pm

He's no Keith Duffy

Errashareesh · 10-09-2020 9:58pm

I didn't think anything of him, read the reasons for the dislike of him, and still struggle to see what's notable about him. What I know of him he's a decent guy. Meh.

10-09-2020 10:00pm

Seems a harmless auld divil.

MassINeverHad · 10-09-2020 10:01pm

A man like him taking himself too seriously like on the late late there in the last while is embarrassing imo. Own it like, he hasn't a note in his head and stole a living, least he could do is laugh at it.

PTH2009 · 10-09-2020 10:01pm

Shane McGowan some man

donspeekinglesh · 10-09-2020 10:01pm

Seemed a decent driver when he raced in British GT.

jk23 · 10-09-2020 10:02pm

I think he married the lead singer from Eternal who was fairly hot. Don't know much about him apart from that and being in Boyzone

Oh yeah and she's a very devout Christian - think he became a born again.

buried · 10-09-2020 10:12pm

Seems to me whatever your opinion is of the man, he'd tell ya to shove your opinion up yer f**king hole, so fair play to him.

elperello · 10-09-2020 10:16pm

Very successful in the entertainment industry.

Not so successful as a petrol head but seems to enjoy himself.

What's not to like?

That's a lot of text for someone who thinks little of him!

He seems grand but he has obviously annoyed you a bit.

nthclare · 10-09-2020 10:20pm

I met him in the POD year's ago and he seems sound enough.

Usually people mature with age so, I'd say he's still grand.

Blondini · 10-09-2020 10:27pm

I like him, no matter what.

irishguitarlad · 10-09-2020 10:29pm

Any man to tell tubs to shove a clip up his hole is a friend of mine.

StevenToast · 10-09-2020 10:30pm

Didnt he tell Ryan Tubridy to go F*ck himself?

He went up in my estimation after that...

Hangdogroad · 10-09-2020 10:30pm

Seems to have a lot of anger issues.

He threw Puff Daddy a slap too.

Ryan Tubridy thought he could have another played out laugh at Boyzone's expense. It was enjoyable watching Shane tell him where to go.

Church on Tuesday · 10-09-2020 10:38pm

In fairness I'd have him before Keating.

Arghus · 10-09-2020 10:39pm

I think he actually comes across as a sound man anytime I see him interviewed to be honest.

Kylta · 10-09-2020 10:43pm

If he's making a few quid and he's not bothering anybody, I say fair play and best of luck to him.

Bobblehats · 10-09-2020 11:15pm

A lost opportunity. In the wake of Robbie Williams split he could have been marketed as bad boy gone renegade; solo career. Ireland’s answer to vanilla ice I’m surprised Looey didn’t spot that one

enda1 · 11-09-2020 10:07am

Seems a grand lad

Mrsmum · 11-09-2020 10:16am

I though he was dead right when he told Ryan Turbidy enough is enough with the ancient clip of Boyzone's first outing so as to ridicule the members over and over again.

This! I knew his family growing up and he was always around cars. He knows a hell of a lot about them to answer the OP.

BuboBubo · 11-09-2020 10:20am

I like him. He seems affable enough on any tv shows I've seen him on. He did well on masterchef a few years ago, himself and Brian Capron (Richard Hillman, murdery lad off corrie) were great.

That single he released with Keith Duffy, a mash-up of Belouis Some and Milli Vinalli was hilarious too.

I don't like boy bands music much, but plenty do. He's still getting offers of tv work, and would be insane not to go for it. I doubt he's made much from Boyzone tbh.

Fcuk the bedgrudgers.

11-09-2020 10:25am

I have no issue with the guy. He makes a living and the lack of negative stories would suggest a decent neighbor / father / etc

Yeah it’s not on I think it was Shaun Ryder who said it best; grafters. Takes a lot of dedication to get where they did in that field, you really have to sell yourself put your body & soul into it. Very physically demanding it’s not really fair to keep digging up their rentboy past

tayto lover · 11-09-2020 1:04pm

Until this thread appeared I had actually never heard of him. Truth.
I do admire people who work hard for their money though or come up with an idea to make honest money.

I had to google him.

rizzodun · 11-09-2020 8:11pm

He was literally a few laps from winning the 2003 British GT Championship until taken out by a spinning back marker, causing him to lose the championship.

He's also had success in the British Drift Championship.

I'd probably listen to his advice over the op based on this alone if I'm honest, can never understand those who say he knows nothing about cars, if he was more committed to it he could've made a name in Europe or internationally.

Other than this, he's been pretty approachable and generally likable over the years, and done well and got a good reception in Celeb BB IIRC.

Fair play, made some money, is enjoying life and doesn't seem to be around rubbing it in peoples faces can't begrudge him.

Rodney Bathgate · 11-09-2020 8:12pm

Did he tell Tubridy to stick his opinions up his arse? Fair play.

Mad_maxx · 11-09-2020 9:04pm

proof that luck is far more important than talent

Postgrad10 · 11-09-2020 11:22pm

One things for certain , anything he undertakes he excels! Just not the singing

tdf7187 · 12-09-2020 12:22am

You can take the boy out of Tallaght but you can't take Tallaght out of the boy. Say no more.

Get him mixed up with the other bloke.

12-09-2020 1:43am

interesting choice of twitter profile photo

Rothko · 12-09-2020 1:56am

Never seemed that bad. I'd much prefer him to Ronan Keating.

AMKC · 17-09-2020 2:50pm

A Mercedes X Class. Since when did that become a Supercar? It's basically a Nissan Navara with different badges and grill. It lost anyway so nope not a Supercar. Shane seems to have copped that caps are ment to go on with the peak at the front so less annoying there. Actually he has gotten less annoying as the show goes on. He won today again with his Porsche Carrera.

Hamsterchops · 17-09-2020 4:22pm

He's the one with all the tats!
Looks rough.

Horrible...

thesultan · 17-09-2020 8:56pm

Always thought he was a bit scummy. Looks a bit like Tommy Lee(from the waist up) 😁

Shane Lynch. What is you opinion of him?
