UFC Great Sport Or Barbaric Entertainment
at 14:55 13 Apr 2025

Thought about this all night before starting a new thread but after watching the card from Miami last night for the first time ever I felt I had to do it .
My kids love this "sport" and of course I watched mad McGregor down the years but late last night I got so turned off watching this carnage.
Paddy Pimblette beat his opponent pretty badly until the ref finally stopped it at least 1 minute too late IMO. The blood on the bodies and ground was pretty disturbing and the american fighter Chandler gave this look towards the Ref that was pitiful but he did not tap out.
Even my daughter and her friends were screaming stop the fight until he finally dragged them apart and Pimblette was the winner.Fair play to Paddy he was excellent and kept going but he must have known the other guy was helpless and pulled away or eased up .
I know I am old but this seems cruel and is it really sport ?

Rory McIlroy Throws Away The US Open .
at 03:23 17 Jun 2024

Of all the bitter pills of defeat he has swallowed this has to be the most cruel of all .I think even the Masters in 2011 will not hurt as much as this one going forward .
We have a few regular golfers on here so can anybody explain how the touch and feel went out of his hands at the most critical time to cost him so dearly .
I know the crushing pressure was a factor and the fcuking yanks chanting USA, USA like it was the Ryder did not help but why did his Caddie not take driver out of his hands on 18 .
This decision cost him the most IMO he would be in a playoff at worst and maybe even win it outright if DeChambeau had the extra pressure on that sand shot .
Its hard to see him bouncing back at the Open Championship in a few weeks now so another year will slip by without a Major for him

Does This Ref Get The First Ever Zero Rating From Clive .
at 22:32 6 Mar 2024

That thrilling ending is pure QPR under Marti refusing to lie down and deserving all 3 points just having to settle for 1
Its also pure QPR to get the most incompetent ,horrible ref in charge of one of the most vital games so far .
He did not give that penalty as far as I could see it was the linesman .
The handball /straight red card not spotted was pure Stroud if not way worse .
Paul Smyth was dragged down by the shirt in front of the world yet he simply stood by the throw in to WBA and their nasty defender who just smirked away .
Field I think was smashed into the boards yet he just waved another throw in.
Fox got pushed in the back fell to the ground in a critical late attack yet he made no call only let WBA have the throw /advantage .0
Did I forget anything because he probably made a few more fcuk ups .

Workplace Injuries / Close Escapes For LFW Posters.
at 14:11 21 Nov 2023

I did a quick search but could not find a thread about this topic so here goes.
Saturday morning I was installing a vinyl plank floor in a commercial building .I have been in construction for 30 years and never came close to this fiasco.
I was shaving a piece to put by the wall when the blade caught my left thumb and savaged the flesh .I had a glove on and it was shredded but actually saved more damage .I went next door to a bakery and a kid drove to to the hospital.
The glove clogged up the cut so the blood was not pouring but by Jesus I paid for that later.
The doctor injected the base of the thumb but had to inject the cut to numb it and that was by far the greatest pain I have ever known .( I had kidney stones once and this was worse )
He stitched it up but going in today to check nerve damage and bone issues and despite pain pills not 5 minutes of sleep undisturbed since saturday .
Never underestimate the value of your left thumb its without doubt the cog that moves the wheel.
He casually mentioned the margin between the cut I recieved and complete loss of my thumb was my early christmas miracle since that saw is merciless and he was stunned I had got away .
Looking forward to hearing other close escapes it will cheer me up so only good outcomes

Solheim Cup Miracle ,Ryder Cup Magic Hopefully .
at 22:00 24 Sep 2023

I know there is a few avid golfers on LFW but even casual watchers must have enjoyed today .A team that got whitewashed in Fridays opening session fighting back to get a draw and by rules the win is a massive accomplishment .I must admit to being a bit sick when Georgia Hall got overcome by the pressure and 3 putted from close range on 17 but hung on for a crucial half .Then the Spanish Armada Carlota Ciganda pulled off some incredible shots and puts to win the cup.Fair play to them congrats .
Now on to the Ryder Cup and as usual it will take a massive performance from Europe to beat the US with an extra half point needed to claim it back.
This 1 am tee times is a killer though

.Come on boys in blue

RIP 5 Souls On Titanic Submersible Craft
at 01:11 21 Jun 2023

I was holding out hope that all 5 people on board will be found and rescued despite the oxygen window closing.
That was until I met a cave diver by pure accident today on a construction site and he crushed my spirit .
If by some miracle the submersible craft makes it to the surface the crew cannot open the rescue hatch from inside .Its bolted shut and can only be opened from outside he mentioned .
Hope they make it because thinking of them inside knowing its over for 3 days is beyond cruel.
Sorry for the downer thread.Hope they are rescued by the time we wake up

Just got home from work watched the coast guard presser and know its over but at least they died instaniously if that helps the families .RIP

Usain Bolt Ripped Off

I know this man has brought pleasure to lots of people around the World and made some Olympics the only reason to watch .
I never missed his races if possible and those few seconds before the gun watching his concentration then explosion off the blocks just stunning.
According to the RTE website he has been robbed of $12.7 million dollars by a Jamacian investment firm .
One time I hope there is justice and he gets it all back
