The man has no sense of diplomacy or cop on that you don’t always have to say what’s on the top of your head or what your emotions feel like.  It’s ok to keep your counsel sometimes and just keep it within your family.
They all do. Sure Kenny rocked up to an interview with a f*cking graph, talked about Klopp and "what a winner is?", how he evolved how Ireland played, playing out from the back with confidence, how much of a good place he's left Irish football in and how he he didn't deserve the criticism and people just wanted to damage his reputation etc, etc. All while keeping a straight face and not showing one ounce of contrition for the sh*tshow he overseen.

I'd take much more issue with that than James McClean saying he wasn't  happy being left out of a squad.

Totally missed this. Jesus he comes across terribly. Really petty and lacking class. 

Andy is spot on with his post. Best on the matter so far. 

Thinking you're entitled to captain your country, regardless of what game it is, is a little bit much for me
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

By the time New Zealand rolled around it was like he was on a goodbye tour. 

Don't know too many players who got that much attention given to them as they wound down. 

To pick at a couple of little items that were not perfect in his eyes is very childish in opinion. 


100%. 

They way he’s going on, you’d swear none of this happened. 

A bit disappointing from a great servant.

An air of entitlement off his comments and his comments around returning to Derry in whatever capacity he seems to think he can choose.

Didn't McClean say he has autism? If he is somewhere on the spectrum it could explain his lack of filter on certain things. It's probably benefited him in some ways re: the laser focus on training and staying fit but this fixation on certain things would be the opposite.

This phrase is constantly used for lads that get picked a lot, how are they a "servant", its a massive honour, one that most here would give their left arm for - they also get paid every time they get picked. You'd swear he was heading out into the trenches of a war the way some people are going on.
He had the good fortune that his professional career coincided with a particularly low ebb for Irish football so he could amass the huge amount of caps. It also boosts their profile for the agent to enable to sell them better etc.
They often say never meet your heroes, sometimes it could be extended to never hear the speak either.

In fairness to JMC he metaphorically crawled over hot coals and broken glass to play for Ireland. In an era where there is a “take it or leave it” vibe to international football, McClean put in the hard yards every time.

I'd often be on a flight back after three days of international duty feeling like I had been in several wars, mainly with myself!

We need an honours system like the Brits to reward this level of service.

I know - It's all part of keeping my cover intact. That's why you see me on the early Ryanair flights as opposed to the expensive flights at more sociable hours!
As an aside, do you know how hard it is to try and get away with asking for receipts for beer on away trips without getting caught by anybody else? Needs must for my expenses report to the FAI....

Glad someone mentioned that. It’s bound to be a factor in certain things with Jamesie.

Except, when he actually quit playing for the national team

IMO this is very precious stuff from wee James
