Letters to the Editor: Politics could spoil a tournament

The former Shamrock Rivers Northern Irish goalkeeper Alan Mannus, stating his opposition to the inclusion of the redeveloped Casement Park in Belfast to host the Euros 2028, says that his opposition is not sectarian or anti-GAA (‘Mannus lukewarm on Casement case for Euro 2028’, November 2). 

To my knowledge no one has accused Mr Mannus of sectarianism or being anti-GAA, but seeing as he has raised the issue, may I ask why he endorses the upgrade and use of Windsor Park, the home ground of Linfield and one of the most sectarian clubs and stadium on the planet?
