I Don't Think Paddy Barnes Approves Of Pat Hickey Offering Rory Mcllroy The Chance To Carry The Tricolour In Rio

Paddy Barnes is one of our top 5 favourite Irish athletes and is essentially beyond reproach in Balls Towers. So we stood up and took notice this evening when Paddy took to Twitter to condemn Pat Hickey's offer of flagbearing duties at the 2016 Opening Ceremonies to nationally-challenged golfer Rory McIlroy. The tweet calling Hickey a pr*ck has disappeared but Barnes has let the world know his anger over the issue via the Retweet button.
