I'd presume by making a comment like that you must be a young fella. That is the case now, by and large, but as recently as the 1980s being Irish in the UK was a massive hindrance. And 'sl*gging' is not the same as blatant discrimination 

Recently ? 1980 is 40 years ago ffs 

spent 10 years in England 89-98 never experienced any discrimination and that with the provos in their town planning phase

James McClean is 100% spot on
It's sad he doesn't get the support
God forbid I'm worried that it's gonna take something terrible to happen for things to even remotely begin to change

Look we all know what James thinks of the Crown etc etc , but in all that time i am sure there would have been a chance of him playing in the mainland  Europe if he really wanted to get away from it all .
 
Sometimes i think he likes to bring on himself , now i maybe wrong .

This is up there with the stupidest thing anyone has ever posted on here. Youd want to wise up. Nothing he has ever articulated justifies people making death threats against his family. In fact the vast majority of opinions he expressed have been very measured. Why should he have to move?

I don’t think there’s any question about that.

A classic idiotic Murph statement.

Yea, James wants his wife to receive death threats and for his kids to be abused! F**king dope.

Some of the comments on here echo the responses of the people who are defending McClean getting death threats towards his family. He  stupidly posted a picture of himself wearing a balaclava 2 years and got reprimanded, fined and apologised for it. What about the 8yrs of abuse before that directed towards him and his family simply for being Irish and refusing to wear an emblem for an army who committed so many atrocities in his home city?

I have lived in the UK the last 9 years almost now, the amount of casual anti-Irish jargon in every day use is surprisingly high. Especially in working class circles. 

Anti-Irish sentiment is still very alive and well in England sadly and whilst it is a million times better than what it used to be, it still ain't right how a lot of people view us over here

I was there for 7 years and apart from the odd little jibe never experienced anything.
Do you think we don't have our own cohort of anti-everything people here in Ireland? The amount of taxi drivers giving out about n*ggers and foreigners, and even friends of mine from childhood that have troglodyte views on foreigners and black people. These people are everywhere, James unfortunately has managed to bring them out of the woodwork more so than others.

Also anyone who does not want abuse online can just get off twiiter or Instagram or whatever. No one is forcing them to stay. Im not specifically talking about James on this. Anyone.
