Random Irritations

[HomerJSimpson]

Sky’s daily montages and segments about Tiger Woods even when he isn’t playing the tournament- one day they will realise it puts people off

And the same people having the same complaints about dress codes -🙄🙄

Yes we know you don’t like the fact you are told what is acceptable to wear on the course - you do have a choice , go and play somewhere else

Woods is a current major winner and still box office and newsworthy whether he plays or not. You constantly complain about Sky's coverage and yet still watch. You know what you're going to get and they aren't going to change the way they present and promote the game so surely its a case of put up or don't watch

Woods isn't playing - he doesn't need to be mentioned at all
OK, if he's a Major winner this year and they're doing a review - are they talking about Lowery?
They'll be talking about BK, DJ and Woodland because they're there.
Everything should be about the Tour Championship and the Fed-Ex winner not people who've failed to qualify.

True he doesn't need t be mentioned but I think if you were to analyse the coverage I bet McIlroy gets mentioned as much when he's not playing too.

If Rory's not playing he's either missed the cut ( so at least he was there) or it's a 2-bit PGA Tour event that needs to be livened up by talking about anyone else.

But if he's not there, does he really need talking about either. Would suggest you can't have it both ways and moan when the mention Woods and not when they do the same with McIlroy. Just my point of view of course

 

[Imurg]

If he's missed the cut and gone home then at least he's been part of the tournament and it easy to justify talking about the whys and wherefores of his performance.
If he, or any player, has taken no part in the tournament then you have to wonder why they are talked about...unless the event is so minor that there's nothing better to talk about.

Pretty obvious a couple on here on both sides of the fence haven't actually seen it ffs 😂. Phils wrong with his opinion (😉) but at least he's watched it

It was a recap of his win from last year at this event. They've shown during weather delays, start of program etc. Wholly unintrusive to the actual coverage of the contenders in action. And also a pretty unique way it was put together by the US team - personally thought it was fantastic.

I don't think he is.
Broadcasters are just obsessed with Woods, even when he's not around.

I don't want to go on a TUI holiday. Can I get that message through to someone! Not quite a TM advert but not far off.

I've seen the complaints about the previous adverts but this is the first one that's caused me any issues. It's covering part of the screen and making posts unreadable. I don't know what TUI are hoping for but it's making me much less likely to book a holiday with them as it's so annoying.

A site that forces you to use an ad blocker to stop the overly intrusive adverts that then stops you watching the video content because you're using an ad blocker...

Wonder which site that could be?

Especially those people who aren't members of a club but seem to think they can dictate to members' clubs what they can & can't do with their dress codes.

Another one who probably hasn't seen it and hasn't got the context.

My irritation wasn't directed at LP, he's entitled to his anti-Woods opinion, but people point scoring off the back of his post who hadnt a scooby what he was talking about.

To your point, of course they are obsessed, they've all made careers off his success. That's not the point I'm making though 🙄

The videos LP was referring to were a recap of Tigers win last year, the impact it had on people who were there and captured in their view.

It was shown at times when the golf was irrelevant to the tournament - similar to cricket showing a docu on the '81 Ashes during the lunch break or a rain delay.

On the broadcast last night, once the leaders had teed off Woods wasn't referred to until the middle of the back 9 when the context was actually Rorys recent struggles in final groups and then the 18th hole, when they talked about the image of people running up the fairways last year. Hardly overkill.

I first saw the video during the preview show on Wednesday night ( didn’t watch it all ) and it looked good and it was a great recap of last year , they also showed it before the play on Thursday which is no issues also

But then some more were shown Friday , then again during the weather break Saturday and again last night - those for me were overkill and too much where as wed and Thursday are what you expect to see.

But I just switched over when they came on

But as you say beyond the odd Comment all Woods talk was gone once the golf started. For me once Thursday was gone all the previews etc should have focused on Koepka , Rory and the others

So no play was interrupted, indeed play was suspended, they needed a filler, so they put on something that had been on before, a recent recap, which many would not have seen yet
Possible better than putting on highlights of the Bum Steer Invitational 1996

I really am struggling to see the problem

If they wanted a filler how about show the highlights of the past two days play of the current competition that was going on , how about highlights of the European Tour event , or the seniors event or the Euro Pro event - how about talk about the top 2 in the world that were going head to head in the richest Comp in golf -🙄

But then it’s just a random irritation in the random irritation thread

Going out to find the cars been keyed

I could travel through 15 hours of Cctv to see who did it but what’s the point lol nothing will change that it’s done

Hopefully t cut will make it look better

I know exactly what he was talking about, thanks.
I actually saw it, and enjoyed it, but to repeat it whenever there was a break was a bit tedious.
Other golfers have won the Fedex before, or don't the host broadcasters know that.

Tiger didn't even win the FedEx Cup last year 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'll book the taxi for you, least I can do.

(oh, and they still refer to and show highlights of Rorys win in 2016 every year without fail - should that be banned too?)

Burglars trying to get in my house again, caught on my canary system but I’m getting the full works put in by a company, always feel helpless when I’m away at work and I have a 6 month old baby and an 8 year old at home with the wife.

Google maps. 2 hours 37 to get home. Hmm, sounds good. My best time is 1 hour 50, so 2 37 on a bank holiday, take some of that.

3 hours 33, with most of the delay being the first hour, which should be the more accurate timings.
