Being reported in all news outlets
Was clearly aimed at Jimmy Mac, the ref went over to him after a corner that was delayed and he got pelters, the ref putting his arm on JMs shoulder then the ref disappeared to speak to both managers, apparently an announcement was made on the tannoy
Good to see its not just a race thing and the ref did a good job.

I dont care if its racist or not, it's to needed at a football match, personally if they want have a go at him just call him a wanker or what ever, I also think it has the opposite affect on Macca when they do sing it he just throws it back in there faces.

One thing I have noticed is how the Stoke fans are now supporting McClean, he is becoming a Player who plays for the stripes, gives his all every match. If I did the player names on my shirt I would have no problem having McClean on my shirt

We have got to say he’s performed heroically in a stoke shirt never bottled anything and he fully deserves our support.
This Poppy shit really needs forgetting about it’s his views end of.
It’s only what he does for stoke city is what we really should be worried about not his upbringing in Ireland.
A lot of people know nothing about his Personal beliefs anyway.

And how does he deal with it?
Laughs at them all as he strolled up to take our corner at 2-4, then knocks it through to Gregory to make it 5!

No It is if the only reason you are singing it is because a Muslim Iraqi is taking a corner who fairly points out that there was less internal struggle and overall safety in the country before the U.K./US decided that they wanted to destroy it, yes,

Fuck the Pope and the IRA Fuck Port Vale and the IRA Fuck Gerry Adams and the IRA Various guises. Still sung by Stoke fans. Bit out-dated and has fuck to do with football. Often sung by those born after the Good Friday Agreement

Give it 12 post-Brexit months, however, and I suspect it will take on a different flavour...

He was excellent today mind. Thought he was AWOL first half vs Fulham but then a real live wire in the second. But agreed otherwise. Don’t think McClean was all that today or vs Fulham tbh. But he’s got a great excuse (he’s playing with one leg).

Yeah I would have a poppy on my shirt on the front and McClean on the back, this poppy and McClean is so not football related it needs casting aside.

Are people actually implying that singing "Fuck the IRA" is racist/sectarian? It's not racist. It is sectarian. The usual defence is that it's an anti terrorist song and therefore ok - but that's just using pedantry to mask the underlying bigotry. It's an anti Irish Catholic song designed to provoke. Everybody knows that - those defending it are just being dishonest about what's going on. Also - what is the justification of singing this song in a game between Huddersfield and Stoke? It's a bit sick if sung at a Rangers v Celtic game but at least there is a ridiculous age old sectarian identification to draw on. At what point did Stoke or Huddersfield become exclusively British/Northern Irish Protestant? Let's face it for the most part it's a bunch of know nothing teenagers trying to sound hard being egged on by a bunch of sad ass middle aged men who should know better. There's no place for that song at a football match - makes me sick to the stomach every time I hear it. Especially when sung by Stoke fans.
