Incredibly petty stuff from McClean.

I said that at the time on here that it was bad management.  You could tell McClean wasn't to pleased with Kenny at the press conference when they were both wheeled out.  McClean only cracked a smile when Kenny mentioned he gave him his debut at Derry City.

Kenny should have told him to go home to Derry and get his f**kin' shinebox.

I like mcclean but he comes across as a spoilt child in that interview

I like James as a player, real 100% merchant , and will keep at it even on a bad day.
But f**k me he loves to spout, never f**king stops!
Give it a rest.

International football is bigger than any one man. He had no divine right to get a hundredth cap let alone be substituted on his terms.

The only thing more surprising than Mcclean coming off as egotistical or entitled is the fact people are surprised at it. 

If he played for a country that knew how to measure football he’d have been banished the minute he dropped to League 2. If anything Kenny was generous to him letting him get his 100th cap.

Didn't have him down as an egomaniac. Didn't think being substituted in a double substitution would annoy him in his last game. 
Also don't think he can expect to continue to be selected given his age and fact he moved to a League 2 club

Always had loads of time for McClean but he cant expect to be picked for International duty if he's dropping to League 2. He made his choice, he should have known the ramifications, so this comes across as petty and silly.

You dropped down to League 2 to film a Disney documentary James. A great career move but you don't have a god given right to be picked for Ireland.

I would never defend Kenny's reign or anything he did, but McClean comes off as very entitled there.

"Me, Me, Me" - That's how this comes across. Not a great look.
He's just had some success with Wrexham, surely he should be enjoying that?

Think we need to build a statue for him outside LR with “Irelands greatest workhorse”.  That should keep him happy.

He dropped to league 2, I'm not sure what he else he expected that would do to his international career other than bring it to an end quicker than he probably wanted.

You could tell when McClean was on the Late Late Show that he had turned on Kenny
