Fanning is dreadful his ignorance regarding Irish nationalism is a long held view by free state apologists.. Molloy skirts around the reaction to taking a knee while completely ignoring the engerlish booing of the Croatian National Anthem... Really journalism... If this stuff was behind a pay wall nobody would hear it... Sean
