What do you want to debate? Wozniacki is good looking, I haven't looked at her bazongas and one of the biggest sporting stars in the world faces a major decision that I would hate to have to make considering it's a no win situation. His comments about possibly not competing in the Olympics is a bit of a cop out, however, I am not sure NIKE would accept this.
I want to debate the fact I spelled 'indubitably' correctly in my last post goddammit! Didn't spell check it until after I'd hit the 'post quick reply' button either. You wanna talk about facing a major decision?? I could have copped out and went with the safer 'absolutely' but my heart was set on 'indubitably'.
And now...

We can debate Wozza in Totty thread.Quote:

Actually I was referring to an earlier post from Bonnie and you posted in the meantime. Lots of class though in your reply!
It is 38c here and I am sitting on a beach using a mobile which means it is harder to reply to the relevant post, so I am probably creating some confusion.
You're not creating any confusion. Sulli was being his usual funny glib self. It is very clear you wear responding to me.Quote:

Regardless of his choice, I'll be supporting him - he's a Northern Irishman, proud to be from Northern Ireland.
I think it was more a case of him saying something honest than saying something stupid, although he does appear to now regret having said what he did. He expressed that he felt more British than Irish - presumably, he still feels that way - and, whilst he may represent Ireland and play under the tricolour on occasion (golf officially being an all-island sport), it's quite clear how he identifies personally - prior to recent airbrushing, his website was headed by 'Ulster Banners' - so, whatever about being "more than just a flag", I don't really see validity in his alleged personal dilemma, unless he fears some negative commercial lash-back. I think he should be honest, be done with it and declare for Team GB if that's where his heart lies. I'd genuinely have more respect for him if he ceased the nauseous charade of disingenuous fence-sitting.Quote:

I agree with this wholeheartedly.Quote:

Either way, I wouldn't give a rats ass (thanks Sulli), simply because golf is a load of tosh and whether he's playing for GB or Ireland it'll make no difference to me.
Now can someone think of the hockey!
It's not that embarassing considering the twists they get themselves into when discussing eligibility for soccer.Quote:

I'm not sure myself, although you could well be right; their logo features the Four Provinces Flag:Quote:

Who was he representing here though?:

Ireland.
I'm sure the lads at Mission Hills didn't know anything about the "offence" they were causing. Nor were they likely to care.
Can we just start using the Saltire or Provinces Flag for situations where we are a unified nation and be done with it.
Pretty silly of you to be posting on the topic at all then, would you say?Quote:

It's his whinging over his declaration which is annoying me. His eligibility for Ireland and Britain is what is of interest here. As is normal with this thread it may have gone off on another tangent.
He's obviously eligible for both. It's his preferred identity that may be of interest, but not to you, according to you.
You don't seem to care what he does, and as you think golf is a load of crap, I'm just wondering why you've posted as much, and as vehemently, as you have.
Well initially I had to defend from the "onslaught" from Gastric. So that took a while.Quote:

Plus there was flag chat.
Shame you think that way because....Green = Us, White = Peace and Orange = You.Quote:

Northern Ireland should have it's own team in the Golf World Cup.
