Delighted for him in much the same way I am delighted when McIlroy wins.  Find it hard to stomach when they're draped in their flag
Then you have scrotes like McGregor pals dragging the Tricolour along the ground and you find nothing wrong with that. Move on FFS. Think of Best McIlroy O Neill Higgins AP McCoy Dunwoody Joey and Robbie Dunlop and all the other great sportsmen that came out the North and consider yourself lucky to have seen them compete.
Allen deserves his success and Wilson will have his day too

I've had personal experience of Mark Allen with a charity I'm involved with, he's an absolute gentleman.

Fair play to him.

Franko

Fair dues to him indeed.  Would be great to see him push in and add a world title to the cabinet.  With his current form and the doubts about Ronnie, this could be the year.

I've had numerous run-ins with Mark Allen and he's a complete bell end. Forgetting the whole GAWA and the flags, he's just not a nice guy. Someone mentioned a list of sport stars from the North earlier and tellingly there wasn't a GAA player mentioned.

Minder

He was playing an exhibition game on the Shankill tonight if anyone is interested

Get the chip off your shoulder
If you want to be pedantic O Neill played gaa for Derry but all the names mentioned won fame at international level. Of course there are certain gobshites who spout equality bullshit but won't recognise any achievement unless they are from their own narrow minded community

They probably have different use for a snooker cue on the Shankill.

McIlroy O Neill Higgins AP McCoy Dunwoody Joey and Robbie Dunlop...out of that list only Rory McIlroy and Martin O'Neill would be known at international level. I've no chip on my shoulder, just merely pointed out that there wasn't a GAA player in that list when there are numerous examples as equally successful as some mentioned on that list. Mark Allen is a complete bollicks, nothing to do with his religion or anything, he's just a hateful count.

Michael O'Neil played for Ballymena GAA, his da did nets for Naomh Gall to! Place coming down with GAA stars that are brilliant at other sports on an international stage

Jeez, that some nonsense. Alex Higgins not known internationally??

Joey Dunlop was 5 time world champion in Formula One TT. Events held all over Europe and in Japan.

Johnny Rea evidently is better known worldwide than he is here.

Played a bit of hurling for All Saints in Ballymena.  8)

Put up a 147 with a brush shaft I heard there this morning.

Go to an American and ask about Alex Higgins? Go to a German ask about Tony McCoy. Even go over to England and ask about Joey Dunlop....the looks of confusion will soon make my point.
