He's changed his tune, in that case.
When he won his first major, he proudly waved the Northern Ireland flag around, and when someone tried to hand him an Irish flag, he threw it back at them.
He's from NI, he should have represented GB & NI, end of story.
What an ignorant comment, Sub.
People from NI are entitled by dint of birth to represent Ireland or Great Britain without let or leave from nasty little John Bullshitters like you dictating to them.
End of story.
And as most sports in Ireland operate on an all Ireland basis, most northerners represent Ireland if they are good enough for the Olympics.
Not the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland....but just plain old Ireland.
Live and let live, you hypocrite.
Alex Young, Howard Kendall, Andy King, Timmy Cahill, Dixie Dean and Mike Parry.....we'll never see the likes of them again.
