I can't believe some guys who I THOUGHT had both sense and a sense of humour are taking issue with patrique regarding the moon etc. If ye can't see he was taking the p*** then I simply give up. Anyhow how can you argue with a looney about the moon he is certain to win that argument.

So we will have songs like "Sunlight in Mayo" and City fans will be singing "Blue Sun, you saw me....."

The former might actually work... as an anthem for Inda
No need to change the latter as blue moon is only a reference to a year that has an extra full moon, so sing away,, if you can think of a reason of course,, I much prefer blue moon beer myself

Corkcelt - I have had people swear blind to me, in the past that the Sun and the moon are the same object. While I appreciate Patriques wit, I would hate for somebody 'inferior' to him to become mislead in regards the scientific understandings of the inner solar system. That said, I fully acknowledge that this could hardly be further off-topic, so hooray for McIlroy and all local golf fans. :)

its so refreshing to see a youngster like rory who refuses to get involved with the political nonsense- i admired him even more when he dropped the flag- it just states it all perfectly- he and all sane people couldnt care less

Knowing that Rory's Uncle played for Armagh.....well Britain wouldn't be as bad as that.

A bit harsh- To be fair UK teams do have a great record for winning sam. Between 1887 and 1920 a UK team won every single one, 33 in a row.

Kildare was the first county to win the "Sam Maguire Cup" in 1928.

Well said, those were the days when the Empire truly was great and glorious and the workers knew their place.

If the man thinks of himself as British then why are we trying to claim him as Irish. I think it is quite sad that we feel we have to try and claim sportsmen who clearly do not consider themselves as Irish. Personally i am proud of all sportsmen(and women) who represent us, and i dont think we should be embarrasing ourselves by pretending that Mc I

I disagree, I think Rory sees himself as British and Irish, which he is. Most people up here do, we're born in Ireland but also in the UK. Just because some posters on here are confused about their nationality doesn't mean we all are

At least the noble Pomeroy Plunketts Club are being spared any further embarrasment.
