PIC: James McClean proves the haters wrong after abuse over new tattoo

Take that

Kevin McGillicuddy

James McClean is not your typical footballer.

The West Brom man loves to stir the pot and he gives as good as he gets on social media as he debates the rights and wrongs of the poppy debate, while he is also a generous man as recently shown by his kind donation to a disabled girl in Derry.

His social media account on Twitter is absolute catnip to any possible trolls, and they were out in full force last night when he posted a picture of his latest tattoo celebrating the birth of his son in September.

We’re not afraid to admit that we thought there was a major error on the timepiece with ‘IIII’ instead of the normal ‘IV’ for the number four.

And we weren’t the only ones,

But all those trolls have been proven wrong this morning and will be composing 140 character apologies as we speak after the Ireland winger posted proof that he was indeed correct to get ‘IIII’ on his tattoo and not your bog standard ‘IV’.

So there, educate yourself, fools!
