Rory McIlroy has an Irish flag thrown at him after he wins the US Open.
Yes I know golf is not really a sport, golf is a idlers pastime. Golf that is more like darts than any regular real sport.
But, we Irish do like our people to acknowledge the flag when they have won something, anything. What is it with this sideshow bob haired scrote Rory McIlroy and him dissing the flag of Ireland.
When I was last back home, a few years ago now, I remember a spotty teenage Rory McIlroy on TV saying he was Irish, not Northern Irish or that other Politically Correct garbage - Irish and British.
The Irish are not going to like this sideshow act Rory, not one bit. People have already noticed that his website has the British loyalist flag up.
Rory McIlroy is from a Irish Catholic family, so someone must be applying the pressure to ignore the Irish flag and identity.
This Irish flag incident happened in the States, just after Rory McIlroy had won their Golf Open championship.
Golfer Rory McIlroy was walking to his victory when someone among a Irish crowd, complete with Irish jesters hats, threw the Irish tricolour at Rory McIlroy. The Irish flag lands in Rory McIlroy's face and falls over his shoulders, but he appears to walk on ignoring it.
Do you think the loyalist terrorists are at it again, sent him a death threat, that is what they have done to others who dared show they were Irish. Soccer players and in other sports. Does Rory McIlroy now feel scared to show any signs of being regular Irish.
Remember it was either the UVF or LVF terrorists who were reported to have sent death threats to Eddie Irvine and his family because the Irish flag and anthem. Loyalists terrorists were reported to be behind similar threats to a number of soccer players who chose to play for the Republic over NI, or as one of you put it, Englands C- team.
Eddie Jordan still asked for the Irish national anthem to be played at the cermony even in the face of LVF and UFF terrorists death threats.

Eddie Irvine held a racing license issued by the National Sporting Authority of the Republic of Ireland.
In the Formula One World Championship. At his third podium, a second place for Ferrari at the 1997 Argentine Grand Prix, an Irish Tricolour was flown. This led to his family receiving threatening phone calls. Irvine then requested that at subsequent races, a politically neutral shamrock flag be flown, and the non-sectarian Derry Air be played to mark a victory.

Irvine has self-identified as being Irish:
“ But at the end of the day, I’m Irish. I mean, I’ve got a British passport, but if you’re from Ireland, north or south, you’re Irish. And ‘British’ is. . . such a nondescript thing, isn’t it? ”

Respect to Eddie Irvine - And a big fat Zero to side show bob McIlroy who ignored his own Irish flag like some scared schoolgirl.

Great shot by who ever threw the Irish flag and made it land in Rory McIlroy's face and fall over his shoulder. The flag of all Irish must have got caught up in his hair. That's just not right, the hair I mean.
