Golfers swear. They hit bad shots and swear (although I NEVER do 😂). The @SkyNews commentators do not need to apologize on their behalf every time one swears. We’re grown ups, it’s v likely that we have heard swearing before. I think I was about 7 when I first heard the f word!.

Anyone local spring to mind?.Gregg Wallace got his comeuppance, but TV’s culture of enablement still protects ‘untouchable’ narcissists.

I apologize for my error in assuming that the parade in Portrush was an OO event. It doesn’t even have that level of significance. It’s a band parade. A parade of bands which I therefore presume has participants from all parts of the community and has no connection to Loyalism.

Interesting that Richard Madeley while interviewing Mary Lou says “this country pays etc.” He clearly doesn’t see NI as part of “this country” otherwise he wouldn’t expect to “get back” anything. This is how the English see NI. And still don’t feel any responsibility for anything

I expect that Sammy is using his own experience of when people mature. He’s hoping for it to come some year soon….

A DUP MP has said his party will not back a move to lower the voting age to 16 arguing young people ‘are not really matured enough’. ➡️

And yet again people across Northern Ireland are saying of Graeme McDowell “Where DID he get that accent?”.

History taught well helps understanding. Each side of our community has a history that the other knows nothing about about because of our divided education system. The leaves the way open for stories to replace facts, and myth to create division.

Ewan Murray is ridiculous. He just called a 45 minute rain storm a shower.

If you’re not a regular golf watcher here are a few hints:.Only Americans shout “in the hole” when a player drives on a par five. The crowds clap the player for being able to hit the ball no matter where it goes. Ewan Murray on Sky never says anything critical. More to follow….

Let’s be totally clear. Unless the “parade” goes off without incident, and the people watching also remain civilized it could be the last Open Championship that we see at Portrush as the R&A will not bring it back.

For those unfamiliar with golf having the #Open at Portrush is the equivalent of having Wimbledon or the World Cup in Northern Ireland. And golf is a sport blind to differences. Clubs all across Ireland play each against each other and welcome golfers from whereever they come.

Here’s the bottom line. The OO parents are saying:.“I don’t want my children playing with the likes of them!”.All the stuff about the GAA is a smokescreen for pure unadulterated bigotry.
