At 17 he had the potential to be a great or at least mentioned among the greats. He didnāt fulfill his talent. Usual waffle about where heās from. Itās irrelevant.
So you begrudge him his successes. Youāre doing exactly what you claim others are doing.
No Iām not. He didnāt fulfill his potential. He shouldnāt be lauded. Roy keane fulfilled his potential and more. Heās hated. Mcilroy the same. Lowery is on the pints, a failure and is of course adored in Ireland.
Robbie is Irelandās greatest ever.
And Iām not talking about the confused racist jogger from Cork either.

Robbie is loved here, Rory is despised in general, itās the sheepish nature of many forumites that follow the crowd
Michelle Smith has 4 Olympic medals.
General consensus doesnāt always mean sheepā¦ Donāt be getting uppity because people think mcilroy is a wanker.
Thereās dozens of examples, I have no interest in golf despite playing a fair bit as a young fella, McIlroy gets dogs abuse here, Robbie Keane the exact opposite
Robbie is a lovely guy. mcilroy is a wanker. Lowry and Harrington are loved here and they are golfersā¦nothing to do with their sport.
McGinley isnāt very liked. Donāt think thatās to do with his relative success.
Youāre not disproving my point here mate,
Your point is to call people who dislike mcilroy sheep.

You are a sheep. You always go with the narrative and never question it. Mcilroy is a great fella. Like all young people he makes plenty of mistakes because of his supreme talent his ones are made public.
Lads are outraged because people have a different opinion to them 
Not at all, many people probably have good reason to dislike him, I donāt get it myself, but others are just following the crowd TFK sheepy style,
My response was to you saying that ACs comments about Robbie were worse begrudgery than is leveled at McIlroy.
Robbie is beloved by the same people that despise Rory, he was a good pro for a long time but never reached the heights that people say imo
Iām not outraged, Iām comfortable that I donāt need to be told what to think
So that wasnāt begrudgery towards Robbie then?
I give my opinion. If that goes with the general consensus, so be it, if it doesnāt, so be it. What I donāt do is give an opinion just to be contrary or wind people up.
It probably was, certainly no more though and far less prevalent
