“Brings it on himself”, “Vermin rhat”, “The famine is over” – Poisonous fan forum’s shameful James McClean thread

I’ll never understand these people for a long as I live.

The sheer hatred that poisons their mind whenever it comes to something they simply don’t understand is mind boggling.

Like James McClean and Irish history.

I’ll admit I don’t know everything about the history of Ireland but I know enough to understand the Irish people’s hatred and disdain for the British establishment.

There will be people reading this with vastly superior knowledge on the subject than me so I am not here to try and educate anyone.

I am, however, pointing out the lack of education of the Ibrox fan base when it comes the subject and, in particular, the abuse that James McClean receives around this time every single year.

McClean famously, and understandably, refuses to wear the poppy like many hundreds of thousands of others due to the British Government hijacking what was a symbol of remembering the fallen in both world wars to it now being used to remember wars that have contributed to mass humanitarian disasters in the last few hundered years.

And the fans on this forum subjected him to more of the same abuse he used to receiving on the pitch for merely pointing out the amount of stick has taken since 2012.

In a rather strange and bitter irony, one fan even wished death on the Irishman:

Other’s casually referred to the famine as if it was nothing.

Simply abhorrent abuse from a fan form that simply has no knowledge of why the Irish detest the symbolism of the poppy.

I’m sure Marvin Bartley and Kick it Out will be all over this.

Any time………………….now
