to live on the island of ireland, whether it be north or south...and mcilroy can do whatever he wants-he is doing the island proud :) yeah so the only pblm i do have is when people call me british when i in no way feel that way whatsoever, and they simply go "but you are NI is part of the uk". that's such an ignorant, patronising,insulting, and fleeting comment to make about someone.anyhooooo...

[lollipopdouche]

britain or british people. i love the country, have friends there, love visiting there. i dont have a problem with protestants in the north calling themselves british (most are going to do it anyway, even though sometimes i genuinely do feel "well britain don't even want northern ireland, and if you go to britain and say you are british they probably look at you and go "huh?? no you are irish-i've never seen that conversation but i imagine it's happened a lot)..anyway,so we should all be proud..

[lollipopdouche]

im from n.ireland

i have no problem calling myself northern irish, or just irish. i was raised a catholic, but have no problem whatsoever with any other religion. i don't even practice religion.whats the point.we are all the same.

however, i don't consider myself british-i never have, i never will. i don't feel british, i don't sound british, we in the north are different to the british. our humour, personalities are similar (everyone on the island-north and south). i don't have a problem with..

@WeeDrMckeegan I hope you're scottish or something, because, back during the famine, the english didn't like the NI presbyterians or protestants along with the Irish Catholics. why do you think they were sent to ireland during the plantation of ulster? therefore, i'm afraid some of your ancestors died during the famine too. look at your history books. sorry for the reality check. your comment pissed be off because of the ignorance of facts, not because it greatly offended me.

[RMcCoy91]

@senorcoonster I completely 100% agree with you, I was born in Belfast and while I've have spent most of my life in England and carry a British passport, I regard myself as Irish (Don't see much point in making a fuss over North or South as it's THE SAME ISLAND!) I support Rory and saw his victory as something we North and South could be proud of; just because I'm protestant and he's Catholic should I not? HELL NO! Religion and politics shouldn't carry weight in this at all.

Also... RANGERS :)
