The best sporting comparison I can think of for this is Armagh’s 2002 All-Ireland victory.
They beat Dublin and Kerry by one point each, they did it from behind, they did by it winning Ulster, they did it by the sliver of the skin of their teeth, they did it, they invaded the pitch.
They never did it again but they did it that one time.
Rory has impeccable Armagh football connections.
I wonder is McIlroy’s win tarnished in the same was Shane Dowling’s goal in 2018 All Ireland.
Completely bottled it but went in anyway.
I’m delighted for him. Incredible achievement. One of the Goat at an incredibly difficult sport.
Ideally he has said or will shortly say something to upset the bar stool republicans also.
his dyed hair ?
Didn’t Armagh win last year’s All Ireland?
Ruairs drove a huge wedge between Ireland and ingland there last night. And I’ve never seen the forum so united, so it’s not all good.
Will the DUP organise an open top bus?
A groggy Enda McNulty on with Oliver Callan now to explain how Rory’s CHARACTER won the day.
And it’s actually completely the other way around, his outrageous talent won it. He is too much of a normal person.
A fair achievement all the same. Can any lad here say they’ve done it?
Greg will be on with Claire soon.
A great victory for men like Malachy and Locke who stayed the course.
I’m delighted he won. I’d also like Rose to have won, always seems a very nice man.
Augusta gives you the vibes that it held a few klan meetings down the back of the kitchen back in the day, and still would if circumstances allowed.
It is also the absolute epitome of the famous Larkin lines. And American vomit.
Ah for fuck sake!
Winning the four majors (and one twice) is an incredible achievement.
Well done Rory.
Craig Stadler (the Walrus) was the last player to win having scored two double bogeys. That was in 1982 so I suspect nobody has ever hit four and won.
McIlroys natural talent is streets ahead of everyone else in the field and as @Julio_Geordio pointed out last night the only player that has the beating of him is himself. He finally bet himself again last night.
What are the famous Larkin Lines @flattythehurdler
