    I met Paul McGrath once at a LOI match in Waterford and even though I was an adult in my thirties and I never ask for autographs I actually went up to Paul. and I was a bit nervous about doing so. A nicer man you couldnt meet. He deserves our respect.

    Grand amount of hypocrisy in this thread. Its funny the people who we choose to mock and the ones we choose to protect.

    McGrath is a hell of a nice guy alright....but...ah nevermind...it would be like arguing with a badger.

    (anyone ever see a badger before btw? Ok...I'm away...)

    I've only ever seen a dead one. I've often feared meeting one, they have a fearsome reputation but that said i don't know anyone who was ever attacked by one. A bit like swans in that respect i suppose. You always hear how swans are nails and not to be trifled with but do you know anyone who was ever attacked by one?

    Bloody hell, I'm sure the OP was just wondering if somebody in the soccer forum might know where to find the video.

    I'm going out on a limb here but I'm pretty sure that he's not planning on pulling his mickey out and **** himself silly over the soul destroying addiction of a much cherished national icon.
    In fact it was probably just idle curiosity as oppossed to a sinister attempt to mock an unfortunate person.

    Glazers Out!

    OK whilst laughing at an alcoholic is never right, the charge of hypocrisy against Irish people actually has some merit.

    Paul McGrath was a great player. Paul McGrath can be a nice man. But, and this is a big but, he criminally wasted God given ability and has done some terrible things in his life. Things that if Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney, John Terry et al did, would see them strung up on here.

    I'm sure the "wasted his talent" comment will make some people say "What about being PFA Player of the year? What about the performance against Italy?". I could list many other examples. But all I'm saying is that we should remember both sides of the man. Or at least be a little more tempered when slaughtering English footballers who are being far more professional. Alcoholism is a terrible disease and the man has my sympathies, but we can be hypocritical at times.

    It also seems strange that Robbie Keane gets slaughtered far more than McGrath, so it is not a pro-Irish/anti-English agenda. It just seems to me that Irish people have far greater sympathy for the rogue, boozehound type character than many other countries.

    McGrath is a national hero and I'm not trying to be iconoclastic. But hypocrisy is hypocrisy.
