Ryder Cup Last Day

[bri]

How good is the atmosphere here.

[Newport]

As long as no one tries to make jokes about dead wives it will probably stay good...

[bri]

be some hangover that in the morning

[Owen]

Yep. Can't wait to see Woosie's press conference!

[bri]

see him shove the bottle down his throat and all the snot coming out. funny as

[rondeco]

Clarke is a legend. True red aswell. Fantastic stuff.

[bri]

only in ireland wtf is this

[Owen]

There's a lot of blarney going on here.

 

Got to love pink blazers though. Makes cup final 1996 look understated and fashionable.

[bri]

christ how formal is this, loosen up a bit. typical golfers ;)

[Red Nick]

GOD BLESS AMERICA

[kidney]

Hope you understand the reason for pink blazers.....absolutely fuck all to do with fashion.

No, what is it?

[rondeco]

Is that to do with breast cancer?

[Owen]

Ohhh.... Was it breast cancer that got Darren Clarke's wife? How crass do I feel.

 

Fair play to them. It was very emotional all through the weekend, and I'm not sure I could have coped in that situation. Sounds like he had an incredible amount of support though; from both teams.

at least you aren't making a joke about it.

[Red Nick]

This was without doubt one of the most emotional peices of sporting threatre I have ever seen and im not ashamed to say it brought a tear or two to my eye.

 

The celelbrations were more enjoyablle to watch than the golf

 

Heather Clarke YNWA (i think this is a justified case for using such words as sometimes it is over used)

 

A very emotional day

I concur.

[Archimede]

I concur.

 

I was there...

 

great day, great craic and for a great sporting spectacle.

 

 

Lehman made a very dignified speech too.

[mickeydocs]

good to hear Clarke is a red... what a player when he wants to play

[lifetime fan]

Did I correctly hear them singing Fields of Anfield Rd?

[Carradona]

you have to be joking?

[bri]

no it's the fields of something else dunno what. We have adapted it ourselves. Celtic also sing a version. I'm sure someone else on here will know what.

 

On Radio 5 this morning one of the American Journalist's speculated that with Europe doing so well in recent years the tournament may suffer in the US due to lack of interest from the American public.

 

How typically american!! Radio 5 were speculating that seeing as Tiger is number 1 for so long the rest are just happy to earn a living on the tour with no onus to win.

 

Overall though I'm not a real golf fan, just the big tournaments but the ryder cup never fails to deliver.

Its called "The Fields of Athenry"...possibly the most popular irish song and its the second anthem.

[Red Nick]

I'll let Gav & co educate everyone about the importance of the Fields of Athenry and the lyrics of the original song as im not Irish by birth

 

Great day and im glad someone from TLW was there to see it live

Cheers, I thought I heard them singing Fields of something when Clarke and co were stood up on that balcony.
