Diamonds are Forever Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Maybe not all the people on here shout all sorts of abuse at footballers, and have a problem with others shouting it? Obviously, that's not the point though. If you, or any other posters who disapproved of the fan's comment to Reed had heard a fan at your game yesterday asking an opposition player if he'd 'practised his passing/shooting' would you have been hoping it got a negative reaction or got him removed from the game? Or then come on here and say how much you disapproved of that comment? Not a chance you would. I'm merely asking what the difference is other than 'well it's golf and not football'.

Stu Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Rose and G-Mac in a bit of bother already. If that putt had dropped on the first G-Mac would be fine, hope that doesn't set the tone for his and Europe's day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and No in that order. Act like a fanny at any sporting event and you deserve to be criticised - I'm not sure why you are struggling with this. As for him being lobbed out, that would have been an over-reaction IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing the affect one shot can have on a golf round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Rory is unplayable today. Good start from Gallacher too - really pleased for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Rory on fire! Could do with a few other Europeans doing likewise to get some more blue up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Reeds been taking pelters all day tbf. Yeah that was the classic reaction of a crowd that's been hurling abuse, then gets offended when they get some back. Maybe there isn't much difference between football and golf.

Other than that, totally agree, if you give it out then you can't get all pissy because someone fires back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming across as a total dick. Needs to learn a bit of class like Mickelson who would have let it slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to learn a bit of class like Mickelson who would have let it slide. What the guy shouted towards Reed at the first tee is the only thing I heard, if he has been heckled by anyone else, it's not stood out, and I agree with you, I think Reed went somewhat over the top with his response to sinking that putt. Best thing to do is just sink putts, win the match and then at the 18th make your comments if you really feel the need to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
