McIlroy on twitter 2/4/11:
RM: "Get Gibson off!!!! Worst player man utd has!!
Other tweeter: "is that because he shirked the #gawa army to play for our southern Cousins? Or just because he's useless?"
RM: "Both!!"
Given the fact that McIlroy plays for Ireland at the World Cup and wants to play for Team GB at the olympics you'd think that he of all people would understand the choice for people born in N.I. especially since his good friend McDowell has said he would represent either in the Olympics.
Sounds like a very confused young man. I'm guessing it's the town he grew up in and his school/friends that have influenced his viewpoint.
Why do you think they always have a national flag beside the players' name on the Leaderboard?Originally Posted by Dodge
Back to back wins by two Northern Irish golfers in the US Open is simply sensational.
Heros welcome for Rory when he comes home through the week.
PS. Great moment at the end when Gerry McIlroy met Gmac, and said to him - "What about wee Northern Ireland"

The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
And this is what we sang...
Yeah like noboby has ever said anything stupid on twitter.
His Dad (Gerry) is a Man City fan.
Rory's first love (outside of golf) is rugby - big Ulster fan, and to be seen at Ravenhill regularly when he's not playing golf.

Rory 'supports' United.
Good post.
I gathered that from his Twitter comments you posted.

Jesus, some of the comments on this thread
No Major wins for Irishmen for 60 years and now we've had 5 in the last 4 years !
Its incredible really.
JERRY: But are you still master of your domain?
GEORGE: I am king of the county. You?
JERRY: Lord of the manor.
You misunderstood me. McIlroy is clearly from NI and proud of it. What 'side' of NI he's from is immaterial. Both will 'claim' his success anyway so what difference does it make
