Good v bad: The match, Shane Lowry… and energy prices

Oh dear, oh dear!

Is it the oil? The price of oil is going to get… dearer?

Oh I know that! I meant… oh dear, oh dear… we didn’t play great against Dublin, did we? THAT’S BAD!

Far from it! We were getting carried away with ourselves! Sure the Pub Bore had already asked if I could get any media passes for the All-Ireland final, in case the Rossies are in it! We were brought back down to earth by the Dubs… that’s good!

We didn’t score for the first 25 minutes! It was very one-sided! We lost quite heavily! It stalled our momentum! THAT’S BAD!

On the contrary, all of that is good! We just had an off-day. We played with spirit, despite it being one of those days when nothing went right for us! We can now… reset! It’s all… GOOD!

 

(They pause briefly to try to remember what life was like before Donald Trump left the ‘Apprentice’ studio and was ‘hired’ by the American people…)

 

Well, we have to play Donegal next… then Mayo! THAT’S BAD!

All of that is… GOOD! By the way, our senior footballers have been tremendous! We’ve won three of our games in Division One. THAT’S GOOD!

Well I lost a €20 bet with a Dublin supporter I met on the way to the game. THAT’S BAD!

Far from it! He’ll have happy memories of coming to Roscommon… it’s a tourism boost! THAT’S GOOD!

Well Shane Lowry put two tee shots in the water when he was within sight of a big win in America! He threw it away! YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THAT’S BAD!

Not really… it’s a clear sign he’s in good form… he’s getting into winning positions. A win is just around the corner for Shane! He will learn from that experience. Er… THAT’S GOOD!

Well the Irish ladies lost to France in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier… isn’t that bad?

No! The team played great! We ran one of the best teams in the world very close… it augurs well for the rest of the campaign. THAT’S GOOD!

Well I’m still annoyed over that €20 bet! I’m a disaster when it comes to placing bets… so that’s BAD!

Nah… Cheltenham starts on Tuesday… you and I will go for an afternoon pint and I’ll give you a few tips… so that’s good!

Well, back to the oil. I see there’s a surge in the price of petrol, diesel, heating, etc on the way…. what do you say to that, my friend?

The Pub Bore has just messaged to say he’ll meet us this evening and explain what’s happening to oil energy prices… in full detail.

Both: NOW THAT’S BAD!
