On this day.

[Angelo]

33 years ago British state forces shot Aidan McAnespie dead at a checkpoint, he was unarmed and shot in the back.

The soldier in question has never been convicted.

The Free State government have actively tried go thwart the McAnespie family in their bid for justice by refusing to allow an independent Garda report to be released to the family. The McAnespie family have pleaded with various free state ministers for justice to intervene but the Free State govt have made it their priority not to assist the McAnespie family.

Fair play to Stephen Travers. He doesn't continually play the victim or make it all about himself.

The tackle has been mythologised I'm Irish sporting history as some sort of Titanic event where Keane took out their most dangerous player. In reality, Overmars was done and had a great game.

The whole Jack Charlton era has been mythologised worse IMO, whereas Big Mick's achievements in 2002 were just as laudable.
