cp40 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Potato heed has done an interview with the Belfast Telegraph, which I doubt is gonna go down well... However, he repeated his strong views on his international allegiance, claiming that any Catholic who played for Northern Ireland couldn't possibly feel comfortable lining out at Windsor Park. "I think any Catholic would be lying if they said they did feel at home, seeing all those flags (Union Jacks) and hearing the songs and chants. For me, I didn't feel a part of it (when he played for Northern Ireland at underage level). "It's probably the wrong thing to say, but it was just a stepping stone in my career. When I signed for Sunderland, my dream of playing for Ireland became realistic."

Anderson Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yeah, Phillips and that's it. Fucking hell. The fact Phillips is arguably their best player by some distance in recent times tells it's own story. He had that brilliant first season in the Premier League, followed it up with a good season (14 league goals) and was then no more than distinctly average after that.

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 McClean has been 'sensational' for them where as HBA has been average for us. I just LOVE their non biased views. And some of you are complete morons. Amount of games that a player has featured in doesn't come into question when looking at stats. Pfft, amateurs!

Ben Arfa is a clearly superior footballer to anyone with their sight still vaguely serving them. Also, McClean appears to be spectacularly stupid. Are Sunderland fans this reclusive to the idea of any sort of good player joining their team (hence they completely overrate their own side), or is it just because he plays for Newcastle?

bhoywhonder Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 More selective memory from the macKKKems: Anybody else read this in the Sun This morning "The worst racism I ever received was at Sunderland. Every time I touched the ball I heard the monkey chants . That was 20 years ago " Replies…. Don't remember out like that happening If he's talking about the cup game then he's telling porkies. i hope bennett gets in touch to put him straight (so to speak) about this slander on safc fans I think Campbell has made this up to be honest. Don't recall it and I cannot say it's ever been mentioned in the last 20 years - so I think he is telling porkies. And the piece de racistance…. I don't get why calling black people monkeys is racist. Do they eat lots of bananas or something? All here – until it’s inevitable deletion. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=699313 Falling over themselves to excuse McClean's idiocy too. Classy, classy, classy…..

The abuse that Bennett and Gayle received from 3 corners of the ground that day was utterly disgraceful. I was suprised that the national press never made anything of it at the time.

Fenham Mag Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 IRISH FA STATEMENT Release Date: 11/05/2012 THE Irish Football Association is disappointed by the comments made by James McClean in today’s media. The Irish FA has a very successful ‘Football For All’ programme where the main objective of the programme is to make sure that the sport of football is welcoming and inclusive to all members of our society in Northern Ireland and we will continue to drive this initiative forward. We pride ourselves with the fact that all Northern Ireland international football teams – both past and present - have always involved players from all sections of the community. All our programmes – from grassroots football and our Centres of Excellence, to our girls and women's football and disability development programmes - each and every one has always been cross community, promoting ‘Football For All’. The Association runs many successful grassroots programmes and the numbers participating in these programmes and representing Northern Ireland at all age groups / levels and from all communities, continues to rise. The Irish FA will continue to develop our very successful and wide range of ‘Football For All’ and community programmes in the areas of grassroots, domestic and International football.
