not the fact that ROI target only catholics? We have many catholics playing for us at the moment, what does that say about the defectors?

----------------------------
It's not about who ROI target. They don't go and print their brand on the players. The players have a choice, they make that choice.
What does it say? Well there are many reasons, they don't want to be treated as Lennon was, they want to play in a team who was going to the Euro's etc.
"Like a Scot just turning round and playing for England".
Or like Englishmen who turned to Scotland coz they would never have got a game for England:
Bob Wilson and Neil Sullivan were played in goals for Scotland coz the rest of their keepers were pants.
its is about who they target and why- why was Johnny Evans not asked? Exactly....because he isn't a catholic.
James McClean said it was for religious reason's after using the Northern Ireland youth system his whole career.
If what the ROI done was something to be proud of in the Euro's then i would rather just not go.
You seem to have it in your head the whole crowd abused Lennon after he signed for Celtic and delcared he wanted to play for ROI (for religious reason). But in reality it was a minority of idiot's (who supported Rangers). Lennon had no problems when he was at windsor park in the last year when attending a NI match.
I think that the posters on here were talking about Aaron Lennon mate.
