PuC and the Liam Miller Fundraiser

[Maroon Manc]

There's going to have to be some very extenuating circumstances to warrant Liam Miller's family receiving a million from the match.

I know what Liam Miller earned at United, he was one of the highest paid players at the time as he came on a free and his contract reflected that.

Yeah I never liked the look of this from the start, should have been far more heavily weighted towards charities but had a feeling it wouldn't be.

I was castigated for calling this what it was. A gather up for a millionaire. The hospice angle was essentially throwing a bit over of cover over it. Liam Miller earned over 10m euro in his career. I wouldn't be surprised if the players got appearance money.
No one would really have cared had the organisers not taken the stance they did in forcing the GAA's hand.

Christ there's some serious bitterness on this thread. If you seen his medical expenses you'd see where the money went. He had treatment in america and tried specialist trials which didn't come cheap. Also anyone who thinks he made 10m is living in dreamworld. He had two seasons at Utd and that's were he made the majority of his money.  While he was on decent wages at Leeds & Sunderland it's nothing compared to the wages players are on today.

You'd like to think people would have sympathy for the widow and 3 young kids, but not in this country. The local hospice got €250,000 through the event, but people don't even acknowledge that. We really are a nation of begrudgers.

This thread is disgusting.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

its not about his wife and kids . thats a variation  the hit me with the child in the arms defense to avoid examining what exactly happened here .
8,000 people were on hospital Trolleys almost every month last year and you call a fundraiser for a millionaire kids a charity match . 
Treatment was sought in America because he could afford it ,

Something is badly wrong in Ireland when we give to a Millionaires family and won't shelter the homeless. This is a very public manifestation of everything that is wrong with modern Ireland. In reality there is only a thin veneer of Irishness painted over the population.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

How much have you given to shelter the homeless?

In the US when american people see other successful Americans their attitude is I'm going to be like him/her one day. In Ireland the attitude is he/she will get what's coming to him/her someday and I can't wait to be there to see it

The amount of hate eminating from the posters on this thread is  depressing and frankly a little bit frightening. God forbid some of you or your family ever need help from the community you live in.

so we should all be bitter sods?

His family were always getting money to cover medical costs, and charities did well. There is an edge to some of tbe comments that quite  frankly are proving some critics right.

I couldn't care less tbh, what people want to do with their money is up to them, I fund plenty of people running marathons for charity and I've received plenty in return for various things.


Did  he pay for his medical bills first, or did he owe them money for his treatments?

I have no idea. And guess what, none of the heads on here do. One of the best paid players at Man U? When Ronaldo, Rooney, Van Nistelrooy Giggs, Forlan, Scholes, Heinze, Saha Pique etc were there? Some scutter being talked.
