  1. Roy and Martin oneill wore poppies at a champions league game in Milan when they were managing Ireland,at a time when mcclean was getting dogs abuse.

  2. When I remember the thousands of Irishmen who were wounded or died whilst serving in the British forces I also remember the lack of employment in
    Ireland, the difficulties of gaining work in England and the fact that most of these men were the only source of money for their families! They were Irishmen who put their families above their own feelings. They deserve to be remembered and honoured!

  3. Good God, Ireland. Grow up! 60,000 Irish fought in the British Army to rid Europe of the Nazis while Ireland sat back and did nothing. The shame is on you, not Roy wearing a poppy to commemorate people who had courage, dignity and a conscience.
