James McClean

Green Cockade wrote: As noted previously, James is a generous guy who has made numerous contributions to good causes over the years-some you hear about, many you don't as he does not shout about it. I see his brother Patrick has put up a strong defence of James over the recent social media spat in an interview with the Derry Journal. Paddy plays for Glentoran, whom he joined from Derry City. He has had an excellent season but may well now attract a bit of odium from some of the wilder east Belfast fringes of the Glens' fan base for speaking out.

Paddy's post was in relation to the messages that he got.

He got 40 messages from people wanting his children to die.

It would be interesting to know how much money he has donated.

"Gary doesn’t know the League of Ireland. If he did, he would know Stephen (Kenny) fully deserves this job and he hasn’t been a failure anywhere else.

"I have also seen people like Stephen Hunt saying senior players are going to be worried and this and that, but Stephen Hunt's international career didn’t really pull up many trees.

"Stephen is probably best known for his clash with Petr Cech, so for him to give his opinion on Stephen Kenny is a joke."

He's not really wrong though

He can defend Kenny without having an unnecessary pop at Hunt, regardless of whether he is correct or not. It makes him look foolish.

His charity work is commendable but he's becoming a bit of a circus... mostly of his own doing

Breen is supposed to be an impartial pundit but he has let his past relationship with McCarthy get in the way. He also spent a few months last year deflecting from the issues within the FAI. Hunt defended Delaney too plenty last year after the ship had sailed  Whether or not McClean was right to sound them out is another story but he’s not the only one that realises they are sh*te talkers.

What exactly did Breen say that warrants that response? Have I missed something?

Breen is well liked amongst Irish fans, and he drew some assumptions.  He’s well liked amongst fans? Are these people on 1st name terms with him and who are they?  Have you heard him on his media duties?
