No excuse for that.
Disgraceful card received. This stuff usually ignored by the authorities wrt McLean abuse.
I recall Colin Murray having a dig at McLean after MOTD 2 over the poppy - clearly aimed at stirring up the hate.
Kick it out have issued a statement: https://www.kickitout.org/news/kick-...-james-mcclean
Wasn't Murray 'kicked out' himself for having too much of a mind of his own? I actually liked him but don't remember the McClean dig.Quote:

Interesting, never knew that. Piece on his MOTD departure here - https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/n...-29040166.html

It is understood Murray was looked upon as irritating by some of the Match of the Day pundits who felt he was there to ask them questions rather than offer his opinions on matches and players, which he regularly did.
I love the fact, that the author has so much poison in him, that he actually writes the whole way through and then on the back of the cardQuote:

At the time I thought McClean should have ignored him as Murray habitually winds people up with no great ulterior motive outside the actual wind up. McClean got wound up, Murray has a wee chuckle.
At least yer man remembered his Birthday .
Didn’t Man City upset one of their players by not remembering his birthday one time .
I suppose yer man has no family and just wants to be loved by someone .
That was Yaya toure, and it was his agent agitating for a move. Turned out City had remembered his birthday.
Damages awarded to McClean: https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2019/...gimpsey-court/
On the same day a Shinner MEP wore his jersey in European Parliament!
Crouch says Stoke dressing room respected McClean’s poppy stance but doesn’t equate his abuse to racism levelled at certain English players recently
https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2019...-poppy-stance/
Maybe I'm over-reacting but I think it's disgraceful that Crouch got away with that on Irish radio. Demonstrated to me why Sean O'Rourke is, in my view, one of the most bland and average broadcasters on the radio and I think a more spiky host would have pulled Crouch up on it.
Again, I may he over-reacting and maybe misinterpreting Crouch but how is Bulgarians abusing black Englishmen racism and Englishmen abusing Catholic Irishmen not? If that's what he was implying then he's very ignorant.
I think he's saying that 'hating black people' is not the same as 'hating someone who doesn't wear a poppy'. Obviously the situation is more nuanced than that unfortunately.
Okay, I took it one step further as regards the expression of this hatred. As we know, the supporters that hate McClean for not wearing a poppy don't shout stuff like "Where's your effing poppy? Eff you for not wearing a poppy!" Maybe some do shout stuff like that!
What do you expect from an RTE Sliveen ? It certainly is Bigotry .Quote:

He might take off the IFA cap now so it may not impact one jot.
O’Neill has been a very good manager for Northern Ireland and Shamrock Rovers so hopefully he can improve James . Its a great opportunity for O’Neill because pretty much the only way is up for Stoke .Quote:

Fairly soft comments from Breen and Hunt see McClean go in over the ball with the studs showing. I do enjoy him though.
I think I like everything about McClean except for what he does with the football!Quote:

And as for having a go at Stephen Hunt for his mediocre career: quiz question - which of the two wingers actually won a medal in the UK?
Give him a platform and he's like a poor man's Roy Keane at this stage.
Surely Breen and Hunt are big enough and old enough and ugly enough to be able to take a bit of stick off James McClean. It annoys me, if pundits are able to dish to out but not take some back. We will see how it pans out.Quote:

He name drops more than once your lad Molumbuy at Millwall(?) as a player he expects Kenny to elevate straight away and says from playing against him he thinks he is top class.
Not sure if full interview is on the horrendous Derry Journal website, I will try out a photo of it up tomorrow if not.
