The Matic case is interesting. I think Matic took control of the story and managed it in such a way that he knew it would be difficult to get the media, and the fans riled up about it.

Also, the conflicts relevant to McClean and Matic’s case were very different on a lot of levels and strike at public consciousness in different ways. 


The big differencee is the IRA went to England with bombs and had units over there causing mayhem especially in the 70's although the 80's and 90's were bad enough as well. The UK public know all about the IRA and many of the older generation have 1st hand knowledge of attacks on English cities. The Serbian conflict happened so far away and there were no attacks on English cities by any insurgents.
My own experience is that a lot of people know little about it. That is, they know of the IRA and hate them, but many haven’t a notion why they were bombing England. I was shocked by how ignorant many were of it.
Anyway, that’s an aside! There is some truth in that, but it was certainly handled differently by the media. Given that the poppy has come to mean patriotism and not remembrance, to the point where British newsreaders receive death threats for not wearing one from about now, the fact that Matic’s decision went unheralded was about more than an ignorance of the Yugoslav war. 
As Brexit has shown us, there is still a lot of ignorance here for their neighbours. In my experience, there is little to no hatred of the Irish, but often very little knowledge, even with the cabinet!
 
 
Fair point. Anyways can see McClean starting tomorrow night and thinking he gets a bit of an unfair time. Top scorer in the squad and the last campaign and had a decent game against Georgia last time. A fully fit firing Brady should be ahead of him but at the moment McClean deserves to be starting.


What's on tomorrow night?

Ireland vs ARGENTINA
Walters coming back from an offside position but Shane Long was definitely onside- Shane Lonnggggggg.... has done it!!!!

McClean awarded 63k for above. Fair play to him, hopefully might shut a few mouths up.

No doubt he will give it to charity too.

I think she’s  a divisive politician. I just happen to think it’s a bad choice.

Watching the stoke vs Forest game and I have to say mccleans delivery of crosses has actually improved, I mean none of his crosses met a stoke player or caused Forest any problems but they hardly ever went straight out for a goal kick. 

And he got a consolation goal.

Ah yes, remembering all those poor native savages that have fallen victim to "war" (but really colonial conquest) over the course of British military history, how noble of them.
We're decent enough..
