I meant specifically civilian massacres conducted by the British Army. Casualties is war are a given and I wouldn't criticise that.

We've got two Bloody Sundays where innocent civillians were murdered thanks to our lovely foreign occupiers!

Casualties on all sides. Nobody has clean hands. Bloody Sunday, blowing up a chippy.

There were terrorists on both sides. The UDA and IRA blowing the shit out each other is very different to the British government appointed death squads shooting up a stadium (1920) and the British Army murdering 14 civilians (1972).

Nobody is condoning the actions of the IRA or UDA. The fundamental problem is the poppy commemorates soldiers who murdered innocent Irish people. Also the same British soldiers who colluded with loyalist paramilitaries and aided them in murdering civilians.

TLDR; It's really messed up to expect a Catholic Northern Irish person to wear a poppy!

Like I said, nobody has clean hands.

Was reading some Twitter comments on the Matic story BBC posted. This reply sums it up nicely.

Only one government aided terrorists and murdered civilians. I think the Republic's hands are fairly clean.

This whole thing is a joke. McClean is being investigated by the FA now. If it were a black player or Muslim player getting this abuse for their background there'd be uproar. McClean is Irish so sectarian abuse is a-OK

I agree with you over McClean but uh... This did happen

James McClean has been warned by the FA for using an offensive word on Instagram in which he described Stoke fans as cavemen.

Should have just called them wankers. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Jaysus, fined for speaking the truth.

[DavidMarrio]

Arlearse on Cavemen that.  Being compared to people from Stoke. 

[Colly]

If he'd said cave people he'd have been fine. #PCgonemad

[Lineker]

Wimbledon have sacked Neal Ardley, after six years at the helm.

[Bobfoc]

Notts have sacked Harry Kewell already. He wasn't doing well and seemed like a bit of a tit, but I'm still surprised. I just hope two sackings in a short space of time don't put decent candidates off.

[Adam]

10 weeks just isn't long enough, surely. Bet he feels stitched up a bit by the owner leaving Crawley for that.

Been a few sackings this week. Swindon sacked Phil Brown and replaced him with Richie Wellens, and John Askey has been sacked by Shrewsbury. He could end up back at Macclesfield, who he left in the summer after promotion, because they haven't replaced his already-sacked successor Mark Yates yet.

Askey replaced Paul Hurst at Shrewsbury and he's already been canned by Ipswich too. So those two moves didn't work out at all for the three clubs concerned.

[Bobfoc]

I know this is the EFL thread, but Notts actually managed a 4-2 win over Doncaster to qualify for the knockout stages of the Checkatrade Trophy. I know Doncaster fans won't be losing sleep over it, and I know the competition is worth little unless you reach the final, but perhaps a win, in whatever form it takes, could be a much-needed confidence boost.

The Rovers forum is in meltdown but it's full of absolute imbeciles. I'm glad you beat us by two goals, means we're out of that joke competition. It was the second string mostly, but we are on a miserable run of form at the minute regardless.

[Bobfoc]

One of the favourites to take over as Notts manager is none other than Kevin Nolan, who they sacked three months ago. I'd like to put that into the "surely not" category, but this is no ordinary club.

Give it Shola til the end of the season.
