“We’ve been in two close ones now and one’s gone against us and the other feels like kissing your sister!” Ireland coach Declan Kidney reflects on his side’s mixed Six Nations fortunes.
“Do you mind walking 250 yards further forward?” Lee Westwood’s caddie attempts to take advantage of the old adage of ‘play the ball where it lies’ after Westwood’s wayward tee shot somehow came to rest down a spectator’s shirt.
“When Messi has scored 1,283 goals like me, when he’s won three World Cups, we'll talk about it.” Pele enters the ‘best player there has ever been’ debate.
“I don’t tweet - and she don’t pick the team.” Wolves interim manager Terry Connor responds to criticism from Roger Johnson’s wife via Twitter.
“Bugger the cows.” Hunt Ball owner, Anthony Knott, a dairy farmer by trade, makes it clear that someone else will be doing the day job after his horse strode to victory at the Cheltenham Festival.

“He’s not out there to be showing how funny he is.” Ivan Lendl doesn't care how Andy Murray acts on court, as long as he wins.

... aeration was generally and always carried out during the winter months
... so it is essential to relive this compaction
I went so see a brand new golf course yesterday; it’s an old one and it's been there a long time
February’s barmy weather ...
These warm temperatures coming into March will defiantly stimulate some much needed grass growth
At the moment they are fairly basic, evolving around a deep aeration
... away from the glaze of the island’s famous TT motorcycle event
... creating a three story building
