MARTIN: I’VE NOT BROKEN ANY RULES

- BY PAUL O’HEHIR

MARTIN O’NEILL insists he will keep playing by the rules whether Michael O’neill likes it or not.

Northern Ireland boss O’neill this week blasted the FAI’S perceived targeting of players over the border.

But O’neill said: “The player has the choice and that’s been overlooked. They’re not being coerced. They’re being asked.

“I’m disappoint­ed at the comments and I’ve told

Michael that. The most important thing for me is the senior side and in my four years, I’ve not taken a player.”
