Rory McIlroy

[Boycey]

Most of yis that get annoyed about him probably don't know but hes been playing golf this morning.....

Decent start one off the lead currently after shooting a 67. He threatened a better round but showed signs of rustiness in the back nine.

Something like 7 of the last 8 years he's been in the top 5 for his first tournament outing of the year!!

Pity his odds are shocking!!

Here what are you talking about golf for back to slegging Rory. I reckon his big worry is if the DUP feck things up any more by the time Tokyo 2020 comes round representing GB wont even be an option lol

Yeah odds are low as it's a fairly weak field, the big names are playing in Hawaii

[Orior]

Hold on... he didn't wanna go to the Olympics cause he's scared of offending his mates? His mates like?

He's in a position to be the fuckin Mufasa of ALL his (real) mates. Unless you meant he was worried about annoying Niall Horan? Then I'd buy it.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. He's brought up in a culture of supporting OWC and Ulster Rugby and his mates would all be british passport holders. (They're the people that want to know why they cannot vote Tory or Labour in local elections). So clearly in that environment Rory will have no affiliation whatsoever with Ireland or being Irish.

Which makes his delight at winning the Irish Open rather puzzling. His celebration looked pretty genuine to me.

I'd say there's a big number of nationalists / republicans on this board carrying British passports (though few would admit to it)

Ah it was handy and cheapest at the time.

Just found out if I want to go back to Canada at all I need a Canadian passport and what with Brexit and all I'm going to need an Irish one as well!!

With that many passports I could be a spy for the CIA...

I was passing the passport office one day in Belfast (knew my current one would get me past April) and went in got form, filled it in and took it from there, felt a bit dirty but heyho... it was £70 i think, nearly 10 years ago... Haven't given it much thought to be honest
