    James McClean is a hero. He's proud to be Irish and is not afraid to show it. Doesn't go down well with xenophobes in Britain and sadly, with self loathers in Ireland.

    The difference is though Eddy, I don’t dislike Irish nationalism. Unfortunately, like nationalism everywhere, the often manifests itself into bigotry. That is what I despise.

    Irish nationalism in the context of NI has been left wing. English nationalism like the Brexiteers is right wing. Know the difference.

    I don't need your permission to have an opinion. Yes I feel sorry for him nobody should suffer abuse, you see that especially with the constant abuse suffered by black players playing for italian teams and it's abhorrent.

    yeah but funny that you went with your own negative opinion on James McClean first eh!

    Anti-Irish racism doesn't matter, it's not fashionable enough.

    Anti-Irish racism is rampant on Rangers forums. Its no exaggeration from my brief glimpses of both that stormfront Britain is less anti Irish than RFC forums.

    I used to think it was a stereotype not wanting those of Irish catholic backgrounds to play for them, but I was shocked to read how much there still is significant proportion of their fanbase holds such views.

    One of their top posters on Rangers Media forums for example is a poster called K.A.I with 28k posts.

    I am a rangers fan and an Irishman. Been to ibrox and have a good few mates that are rangers fans. Never had any hassle.
    Just my view the Irishman that gets fans hate are the IRA supporting terrorism glorifying yobs.
    James mcclean is hated not just because of his stance on wearing a poppy
    He should be entitled to not wear it but it's the crap he posts on social media. Eg on remembrance Sunday posting on Instagram a video of himself and his wife driving singing along to IRA songs.
    Talentless moron.

    Look if you are a catholic I can see offense being taken with Billy boys song. But it is only a song being sung inside a football ground for 90 minutes. Also no issue with Celtic fans singing ira songs at matches. Forget about this nil by mouth malarky.
    Now if somebody is singing these songs walking down the street or driving along , that would suggest a real bigot in my opinion.

    Is it really racism or is it really ethnic discrimination?
    Irish is a nationality and ethnicity.
    It looks like the people giving him abuse are the same race.......

    Everyone on social media seems to have come to the conclusion that it's racism.
    I have to admit I know so little about this, it could be a group of blacks or asians that have been giving him the worst abuse.

    Pîss off mate.
    Playing the innocent blue nose. We know exactly what you lot sing about us. So don’t play victim. Perhaps if your precious Brit club weren’t part of a nation that overthrows countries and slaughtered millions then we would feel some pity for you. But we don’t. Ira responsible for possibly 1000 deaths? That was a slow week for brits in Ireland in the past!

    Because you shouldn't be supporting such an Irish hating club being from Munster, or anywhere in Ireland for that matter.

    I don't know anyone who calls here "Southern Ireland" that is actually Irish. Is Donegal "Southern Ireland". His posts look like that of an other loyalist/orange bigot.

    You talk about race yet in same sentence you said group of blacks or Asian?
    Black is race. Asian is not. Asians come in all colours.

    Yes that's why I'm asking. I think all the different Asian races are a different race to McClean. Are they the main problem?
    Since clearly caucasians are not giving him racial abuse but may be responsible for ethnic abuse.
    Who is responsible for the racial abuse he is getting?

    Never said I have been in ibrox loads. I have heard sectarian songs in Louden tavern . I do t have a problem with this as I have joined in with same.
    I really dont believe that folk really believe on what they sing at football matches. If I were caught singing Billy boys walking down the street I should be arrested as it is in that context incitement to hatred

    What about a 2nd generation Irishman playing for an "Irish hating " club. Away for f#ck sake. Not happy unless feeling offended by somebody.

    I find it difficult to be critical of people getting the name of the state wrong when so many who live here incorrectly call it the Republic of Ireland.

    Very very few people living in Ireland actually refer to the country as the Republic of Ireland.

    That term only gets used in the media sometimes when the soccer team are playing because stupidly it's still the official name of the team.

    I hear it all the time outside the context of any sport.
    For soccer it's fine since it is as you say the official name of our team.
    Perhaps you keep better company :)
    I've mentioned before about the republic of Ireland act causing all kinds of confusion but this is the wrong thread for that.
