James McClean

[JimStynes]

It was no doubt a joke. But he can't turn around complain when people give him shit for these things. Stupid thing to do when he's in the public eye and when he knows there'll be a backlash for it. As I said, he certainly doesn't help himself.

Cue James handing out gloves and faces masks at the Derry hospital

[An Watcher]

He's a great lad, carried Ireland a few times in the last few years, giving his time and money to the locals in the North West. So what if he made a mistake. No ones perfect

[laoislad]

Saying he carried Ireland is pushing it a bit...

[imtommygunn]

He plays with heart and in a few games he was the only one but he never carried the team....

Very stupid thing to do by mcclean. It's too sensitive a topic.

[GiveItToTheShooters]

Dour nordies, at least James, even if he isn't the sharpest tool, can do a bit of self depreciation.
Just don't put a picture up on the internet  for the poopy brigade to go into yet another social network outrage.

Stop getting on as if you're from Dublin or Cork, you're from Monaghan like , catch yourself on with the "nordies" line

McClean gets threats to burn down his house.

I wonder if there will be any collective gesture at matches in support of him.

Irish lives matter campaign?

McClean gets anti Irish, sectarian abuse and death threats and the silence is deafening whereas Rashford etc gets abuse and there's a whole song and dance. But BLM and kneel before matches and all that craic though. Get to f**k. Double standard brigade at its best.

[sid waddell]

McClean has every right to not wear a poppy and shouldn't have to suffer abuse for it

But when you continually post up pro-PIRA stuff on social media while playing in England, what do you f**king expect to happen, he knew it would happen and he wanted it to happen

McClean played for Wigan and yet he's glorifying the people who blew up two children 10 miles down the road in Warrington

Anybody who does that is an idiot at best

If Andy Goram was playing in the League of Ireland and posting up pro-UVF or pro-British Paratrooper stuff gloating about Bloody Sunday on social media, what do you think would happen

Black players on the other hand just happen to have black skin, why should they be abused for that, as many of them are

Talk about refusing to understand the issues and shoehorning a ludicrous false equivalence into a post

[GiveItToTheShooters]

The supposed talk of McClean wanting to be abused is quite frankly wrong and unsubstantiated without any evidence. I mean why would he want to be abused
Any notion that McClean glorified people who committed attacks lacks evidence and would be an unsubstantiated claim also.

But god help Martial and Rashford and let's kneel for them before every game...

Irish lives matter campaign?

Yes, but perhaps some Irish lives matter more than others 
This is all very similar to the pattern of ethnic/racist  abuse that Neil Lennon received in Scotland  but of course you got Irish morons blaming Neil for aggravating the poor Scot bigots just as you get Irish morons blaming James for aggravating the ire of English racists.
The Scot authorities and kick out racism  got behind Neil and their (belated) firm action at least took the sting away from the overt racist ethnic/  abuse. The same would need to happen in England, but hey it appears the Irish abuse is okay because according to some they deserve it.

Explain

[JimStynes]

In summary, it's wrong what is happening to McClean but he certified doesn't help himself. A nice fella by all accounts but some common sense wouldn't do him any harm at times too.

[An Watcher]

Yes James is more at fault here than those booing and threatening to kill him and his family!!!!
