James McClean
He's always just come across as a very unlikable person.
I think thats harsh... he's been forced to defend himself since he was a young kid... He's never been allowed to just be himself.
Never met one so I’ll take you’re word for it
Hard to be critical of someone who hit every branch of the ugly tree on the way down, he has enough hardship
seriously though , he’s a hypocrite, if he was genuinely committed to his beliefs, he’d ply his trade in France or any country other than the UK , his political protests are tedious
Diarmuid Gavin - pretentious, smug, pontificating, open-shirted knob of the highest order.
So tell me, Mr. Judgie Pants, what am I supposed to post on Insta when I take the doggo on hollibops?
😂😂😂 eff roight off and when you get there keep effing off.
My main issue with him is how no one can ever question him. His recent rant another example of him. The fact is he's a bang average player who had one good half season over 10 years ago and is still living off it.
ugly tree? and you are Brad Pitt I suppose? why bring his looks into it? Do you dislike him because of his looks?
Sorry James but this is After Hours
If ireland were even a half decent international outfit , he wouldn’t be near the squad
i doubt he's actually Brad Pitt
I heard that Brad Pitt inexplicably can't stand James McClean.
Yep. He appears to have bags and bags of energy, but can do very little with it*.....the term 'headless chicken' always springs to mind when I see him playing.. He's made 100 appearances for (a very very poor) Ireland, and you could probably count on 1 hand the amount of games where he's had a good game.. I know he's scored 11 goals for Ireland, but you can still have a sh1te game and end up scoring a goal...
*Now obviously he can do something as he's a professional footballer, and has made it this far, and good luck to him in doing so... but he could have kept his head down, kept quiet and still had a fantastic life without all the negative baggage he insists on dragging around behind him.
Isn't Shane Duffy also from Derry, and a Nationalist? And also plies his trade in England? yet never any poppy related hassle/chants surrounding him is there?
Just because Duffy wears the poppy on his jersey doesn't mean he is right. McClean has every right to refuse to wear the poppy without getting the abuse he gets. you have to admire him for standing up for what he believes in especially with all the hatred he gets for his beliefs. I always thought his Irish teammates were pretty cowardly for not backing him up and also refusing to wear the poppy. politics and football shouldn't mix.
its ridiculous to try to downplay his 100 caps as well just because you dislike him. he scored some very important goals for Ireland, like the one v wales and 2 against Serbia.
Yes he has a right to believe whatever he likes but so do other people, something he seems to forget. In his mind he's always the victim and everyone is out to grt him. That's not something to admire.
Yes he has 100 caps would in most of them the most he's done is get a yellow card within 5 minute. He's the luckiest man to ever get 100 caps for any country.
Furbaby on tour
He chooses to not wear the poppy and not sing god save the king. He isn't trying to force other players to do as he does. He hasn't caused the trouble he gets, that is just idiots who want to force their views on everyone else. He isn't doing any harm to anyone for not wearing the poppy.
It’s more than choosing not to wear the poppy. He brings most of it on himself.
He’s typical of his ilk. If he wants to play the hardcore republican he should expect a response from the knuckle draggers who follow his sport.
Hardcore Republican? by tweeting about rebel music and a united Ireland, I think you will find hardcore Republicans join the IRA along with other things.
Also whoever said Shane Duffy is right about the way he conducts himself, he went out with Katie Price so I wouldn't be looking for advice or guidance from him on any issues.
Vladimir Putin. There’s just something about the guy that I can’t quite put my finger on. Like a sneaky sort of under handedness about him. I’d say you couldn’t trust a word out of him.
Q. Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?
A. Anyone from FF, FG, LAB, RTE - and I mean ANYONE - from those groups
Watch Fleabag , she is very funny , but yes posh .
I can't abide Doireann Garrihy , and don't find her funny at all .
He's not a hardcore Republican, he's an armchair Republican the worst type.
Tommy Bowe.
A great rugby player but what the fcuk is he doing on morning television commenting on the news of the day and interviewing politicians. He's as thick as a plank. To paraphrase a line from one of my favorite movies, his single brain cell is having its own I Am Legend adventure in his head.
Oh who to believe about McClean as a footballer? - the successive managers who have picked him because he offers something or some randomer on the internet. Hmmmmmm
Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese.
You think whatever makes you happy.
As a footballer… He’s a winger or attacking midfielder who in 100 international caps scored 11 international goals.
his contribution as a club player isn’t much better. He gives 100% no lack of effort he can’t be criticized in that regard.
60 goals in about 16 years for various clubs.
Just gone only 34 and he’s playing for Wrexham
League 2… aka the old 4th division.
he courts controversy because he enjoys attention. People like that are the worst kind of bores….
He’ll get sympathy in Wrexham because it’s a more left wing nationalist sympathetic town. Why didn’t he try it as a West Brom player ? Might have not enjoyed the fallout from doing it 5 kilometres from Birmingham considering the history of IRA
Kelly MacDonald. It’s the accent mostly.
