NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE power of the person operating a stadium PA system.
Rory McIlroy was at the Kingspan Stadium (Ravenhill, to you and me) for this evening’s Pro12 clash between Ulster and Connacht.
The four-time Major champion was given a warm ovation as he presented the Claret Jug to the crowd at half-time but then found himself as the butt of a perfectly-timed joke.
As he gave an interview to BBC, McIlroy realised that Neil Diamond’s hit “Sweet Caroline” was playing over the tannoy — a not-too-subtle reference to McIlroy’s former fiancée Caroline Wozniacki.
The crowd joined in and, to McIlroy’s credit, he took it with a smile and a playful shake of the head.
Even when you’re quite literally on top of the world, you can always trust the people back home to take you down a peg or two. They couldn’t have you getting notions.
This article more than makes up for no coverage of the actual match. Thanks lads!
The match was live on BBC
Hmmm Ulster can expect 50% Reduction in funding next year…..

Genius
The playing of Stand up for Ulster during the match live tells it all….
Explain your comment Dead Ball, if you can.
I’m assuming he’s implying that there was no atmosphere there so they had to create an artificial one?
