How can he be a national hero if heās Northern Irish?
Very interesting sportsman compared to the most in the modern era.
Very charitable too by all accounts and just meant to be an all round sound fella.
Will never understand how somebody canāt like him tbh.
Sure the lads in Barcelona call themselves Catalunyan, that doesnāt make them any less Spanish. Controversial but thatās just the way it is.
Thatās some logic there.
Yeah, Iām wrecked and said it arse ways. I digitally hold my hands up. What Iām saying is he knows what he is, and doesnāt pretend otherwise.
On another note, I seen a fair few cars with Limerick flags there today. Iād say there was a fair few cheering on Kerry.
Didnāt he dump his ex over phone in a 2 minute phone call?
Snigger
He was about 18 at the time fffs
No, youāre thinking of his childhood sweetheart who he dumped after going off spending a weekend with the tennis playerā¦
And then the tennis player he dumped by text while she was sending out the wedding invites
First I seen of that. I wouldnāt mind it. If he wanted to play for GB, heād have played for GB.
He did want to, but hadnāt even the conviction to do that
He wanted to play for northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland and?
Rory is a terrific young man.
I reserve the right to change that view at a future point should he take the Saudisā blood money.
But thatās speculation, as Ian Poulter would say, or actually he probably wouldnāt, as Poulter apparently doesnāt know what āspeculationā means.
So heās a NI treasure and not a national treasure?
Partitionist.
Take it up with McIlroy.
Iād say he considers himself Northern Irish. Good luck to him. The GFI has been a great force for good. Creating a sense of identity as a Northern Irish person is a welcome side effect.
