Former Republic Of Ireland footballer John Aldridge has come in for criticism online today after repeated comments made about the 'Manchester Bee' symbol.
The insect has become an emblem in memory of the victims of last year's bomb attack in the city and Aldridge has made a series of comments towards people who have adopted it as their profile picture on Twitter.

So he’s blocked me but not before he decided to slag my picture off. The picture that’s is dedicated to the victims of the Manchester bombings. Supposed to be an ex professional @Realaldo474 John Aldridge you can delete the tweet but it will be there for ever. pic.twitter.com/3unG99ola9

John Aldridge mocking the Manchester bee in someone’s profile picture is new levels of scum. Tweet deleted but screenshots knocking about.

Blimey John Aldridge is on one. Insulting people personally as well as mocking someone for having for their twitter profile the Manchester bombing tribute icon. ????

John Aldridge being very John Aldridge here. Really doubt he actually has a clue what he's done, but still. Not a good look. https://t.co/Rz1wUJgTYs
