It is all to do with being seen to support something, not that you really support it.
What would do think the Forces would rather have, a company sticking a poppy on their website for a couple weeks and telling their staff to observe a silence or the extra millions of pounds that could have been raised if they'd paid tax?
No, my examples are perfectly good, you just don't have an adequate response to try and rebuff them.
Where have I said that I am "against the British"? In what way is James McClean "against the British"?”

Your examples are not relevant. These IRA loving and British army hating fans are more along the lines of the Islamic fundamentalist supporters and sympathisers who think they are championing 'freedom fighters'. Two cheeks of the same terrorist sympathising arse.
As for McClean, his actions speak for themselves. A repellent human being who is better known for turning his back on anthems and disrespect than for anything he's done on the football field.
