James McClean answers all of his haters with word perfect tweet

Aboy the McClean

Kevin McGillicuddy

James McClean may not be everyone’s favourite Irish player but that might be about to change.

The Derryman is almost always certain to get a yellow card for his robust challenges,but he rarely plays with anything than less than 100%.

He made an impact in Friday’s 1-1 draw in Zenica, and was a second half substitute in last night’s 2-0 win over the Bosnians in the Aviva.

The West Brom man is a probably the most abused Irish footballer on social media for various reasons, but last night he had very short, but very sweet answers for anyone who has ever doubted him and is loyalty to the Republic of Ireland.
