fleg

BBC Newsline’s Mark Simpson reports from Holywood, Co. Down on the latest fleg controversy.

Police were called to investigate a complaint about a European flag flying in Rory McIlroy’s home town in County Down during the Ryder Cup.

It was flown at a house in Holywood where a Ryder Cup party was held.

The owner of the house was stunned when two police officers arrived at his door on Sunday morning.

In a post on Facebook, he said that the person who complained thought it was an Arabic flag.

For those who think this Ryder Cup is finished, think again. Team Europe can still win if the following five things happen Sunday:

— Keegan Bradley is abducted.

— Team USA captain Davis Love III inserts Cup spectators Michael Jordan, President George W. Bush, Amy Mickelson and the Rev. Jesse Jackson into the singles lineup.

— Lee Westwood: U.S. citizen

Marty McFly shows Team Europe captain Jose Maria Olazabal how to go back in time. Last Friday morning will do.

— Team Europe wins eight of the remaining 12 matches to retain the cup.

Never mind. It’s over. Olazabal can click off the walkie-talkie and take the IFB out of his ear. Time for the Europeans to fire up the private jets and head back home to Florida.

Oh.
