Rory calls off wedding!

Totally mate yeah i agree with all you say here , you can have all the money and fame in the world but i bet it still hurts ..

Worry & trouble are different thing for different folk , he doesnt have any money , mortgage , job worries or troubles , id hazzard a guess his life is near perfect , still ill bet he is hurt over the break up

Until the next dolly bird comes wandering along. He didn't seem to be too upset when he dumped Holly? for the tennis player
 
Why would the one doing the dumping bit be upset? It's his decision, not hers. If it's the right choice he should be happy. It's her who should be upset, although it could be a lucky escape for her in my view. He seems a bit of a prat.

Because he will still be a bit upset not being with a person he has been with a good deal number of years - it is still going to be upsetting times for all concerned. I'm sure she will also be upset about it all.

Some of the judgements towards him have shocked me a little tbh - you would thought he had killed Caroline as opposed to just breaking up with her

Murph has a point though, if he's upset getting exactly what he wants what will happen when he doesn't get what he wants.... oh I remember, toothache ;)
 
My first reaction was "oh Rory, you pratt" but then I do think it takes some guts when the whole wedding cavalcade is in full swing to call a halt. Rather now than go through with it and have regrets and cause more pain for her down the line.

From memory - he split with her and then they got back together and v soon after got engaged? Perhaps he thought then it was the right thing to do by her.

Yep as you say .. Until ..

Nobody saying he is not happy with his decision , but i bet it hurt ..


EDIT i did compare it to other decisions but in reflection they seemed wrong to mention so i deleted them
 
He is just a confused young man. Perhaps he realised he had not lived with her and she was just a beautiful fun stranger, on her own journey through life.
I spent years travelling and never really knew anyone they were just faces, fun to be with but not really live with.

Agree if somebodys not wiping his **** he cant cope.

Has Rory upset you in the past ? Ran over your cat ?

Your apparent hatred towards him ( which is clear going by your remarks ) is going from pathetic to quite scary.

Have you found the facts to back up your statements about him yet ?

You can see whats going on there from a distance cant you, its pretty obvious whats going anyone can see that unless they have zero savvy,they guy needs to make his own way in the world.As for him winning The Open no chance his not mentaly strong enough for that right now, I'd rather back my local club pro.

That didn't answer the question did it but I'm not surprised really. You are making judgements about a person based on nothing.

The initial observations about your opinion appear quite correct.
 
Which statements [snip]and insults[/snip] have I been posted about him that I need facts to back

No insults just statements

Because he will still be a bit upset not being with a person he has been with a good deal number of years
Trust me the truth is a world apart from your post.
He decided he wasn't ready for getting married

There is three to start with. You stated them as facts do you have any proof?

Did you by any chance know his previous G/F ?

No, why?

No, why?

Umm because he has said so himself

1. He said in his press conference it is upsetting and will be

2. My aunt taught him and cousin played golf with him and paint a different picture of him from their own experience of knowing the person

3. Again he stated himself he wasnt ready for marriage after sending out the invites.

1. ummm he isnt at nike for the money either :rolleyes:

2. So you have never met him or have no personal knowledge of him?

3. excuses for wanting out of the relationship then.

And you still never answered why you asked if I knew his ex.

edited to add I am out as arguing with you is tedious in the extreme
 
I don't hate McIlroy. I think on form he is superb. However my worry is that a mecurial talent as he is will never fully play to full potential and will become a lost and wayward spirit. I do beleive he has had some poor advice from the management company's he has been with since Chandler and the way he has allowed himself to be portrayed on social media and would have thought management and the Nike PR machine would have done more to help him.

As I said, I think any engagement that is called off, in fact any marriage that doesn't work, is a sad event irrespective of whether your a top golfer or the bloke in a council flat somewhere. The pain is the same. I hope that he gets the guidance he needs to clear his head, play without too much baggage, accepting that it will take time to get over this split, and can allow his golf and talent to shine again. Personally I don't think this will happen anytime soon, certainly not to allow him to win the Open or even the US version (just my opinion of course) and that he'll drift for a good while yet. Do hope I'm wrong

1. Yes McIlroy is now taking acting classes to ensure he can act upset and on the verge of tears in a press conference :rolleyes:

2. Yep have met him a few times a few years back - just a normal kid talented at golf

3. Can he not be genuine in his reasons then ?

And asked because of the way you mentioned her earlier - read as if you knew - if you don't then it's no issue.

I'm still with Phil on this. As posted, they were Rory's words!

Why bring the Nike money into it? Shivas would have us believe it was 'his family' that pushed him into that deal! Poppycock imo!

Who knows why he wants out of the relationship. Tough decision and very mature to be able to make it. SILH's 'advice' post some time back was absolutely perfect imo!

He certainly seemed like someone who was 'in control of his own destiny' on the couple of times I've met him - admittedly in his comfort zone of a Golf course!

Still no facts from Shivas yet, so all just bluster (and hatred). Why anyone would wish any sports-person to fail and go shooting down the rankings, i have no idea. That's something I'd like to here an explanation for - no need for facts on that one though! :rolleyes:
