Maybe he's just a bigoted spud thick twat. His new team and owners should be appalled.

I like the baggies, good set of fans, I hope they give this **** pelters. What a f***ing arsehole, I genuinely hope he snaps his thigh bones and never plays again.

You have to nerve to call McClean a bigot? Yet you posted that?

Seriously, the intelligence or lack of in this case is baffling on this site from certain members.[/QUOTE]

What do you base that on? How would you feel if an Englishman deliberately disrespected the Irish national anthem because the IRA bombed a Birmingham pub, murdering innocent people, while playing in your country ( assuming you're Irish)?
 
Glad that west Brom have to deal with that twat. Imagine the divide he causes in the dressing room. Horrible signing by pulis. Not only is he shit at football, but he's an absolute bellend to go with it.
 
Having worked as a cross-community worker with adults and young people in Belfast, I can't blame him. Why should he? But then, why should others care? He's made a choice and stands by it, a young man who cares and stands up to criticism from the public for that. Good on him for being strong in his belief. Can't believe so many people who have had literally NO experience of the issues he will have faced will condemn him. If you've faced it, then fine. Unless you've lived, breathed and quite literally fought it? You need to calm down, because you don't have a clue.

Eh, the fact you called him a "Thick Spud Twat" maybe, which in my eyes is clearly racist towards Irish people.

The British army murdered countless Irish people too or are you not aware of that?

I don't bother with all that lark tbh, I'm Irish yes and proud. I don't hate English people either for that matter.
 
If a muslim player done that done that what do you think the response would be?[/QUOTE]
Yep and we have the right to think he's a utter cock.

Probably the same - lots of people on social media getting worked up about it without stopping to reflect on the fact that he has the right to do that if he wants.[/QUOTE]

They need to grow the fuck up and get over it. More riots over marches this week? Hairy bairns the lot of them.
 
I haven't seen a point, just an avoidance on disguising the intolerance of certain people to McClean's views.

I'll make the point again. You (rather distastefully) assume that anyone who who disagrees with McLean's views is either ignorant of or uncaring towards the innocent people killed in Derry at Bloody Sunday. But the point is that many (in fact most) British people disapprove very strongly of what happened. I also understand why the British army is a controversial topic in Northern Ireland. But McLean is happy to glorify the atrocities of the IRA. Because all the while he wants to use the genuine grievances of Irish Catholics as the reason for his stance, he endorses the suffering of others. He requires a level of understanding for his position that he's not prepared to offer to others. No better than when loyalists go on about IRA actions while glossing over their own. He's a hypocrite, and unless you're prepared to actually address this point after multiple times of raising it, so are you.
 
You do realize anyone born on the island of Ireland is entitled to an Irish passport?
I thought if you liked Irish stew you got one,fuck off man no fucker is interested in your troubles and struggles.Your were defeated several times just calm down and revert to being cheap labour and the brunt of club jokes. Did you hear about the paddy ............

This is a great post. It's amazing the way the British public have been sheltered from the heinous crimes the British Army committed in Ireland. Blood Sunday was only one incident in a litany of cold blooded sectarian murders carried out by it's armed forces in Ireland. It's not a case of both sides being as bad as each other either.

You should spend more time trying to loose that gut of yours instead of being on the internet, your intellectual levels are being shown up when you talk to the big boys.
 
I would suspect you are very ignorant on the matter and are commenting on a conflict you have a primitive understanding of. I grew up in this, a conflict borne out a state where you were treated as a second class citizen depending on your religion. I live 12 miles away from where the British Army put a bullet in the back of a 12 year old girl and it took the family over 30 years to get an aploogy from the British government. The wounds are still very deep here, people are moving on but certain things will never be forgotten.
Maybe but you are just ignorant if you think the IRA where some kind of moral bunch of freedom fighters. I choose to live in 2015, what happened was terrible but it's in the past and we can't change that. But we can do something about the future. You rather live in the 1970s and hold Ireland back and drag us into another dark era in our history.

You have more in common with EDL bigots on here than you think.
 
Like I say marra I know lads who served in those streets. It was a long time ago and Ireland is a very different place. Most young people in Ireland will have moved on.

I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that James McClean will know lads who lived in those streets. They will have a very different perspective from your mates who were in the Army there. And from his perspective, I completely understand why he doesn't want to sing God Save The Queen.[/QUOTE]
FFS looks like i'll have to disguise my Irish accent at the SOL for the upcoming season :lol:

No you won't, we are not arsehole bigots in general, just like the vast majority of southern Irish are not violent anti British, but there are arsehole like McClesn, and apologists like yourself who cause resentment.
