Great finally, glad we agree on something at least.Has he received anti Irish abuse? Yes. Is it because he’s Irish? I don’t think so or you would be able to give me examples of it happening to other Irish players in England. I’m not deflecting anything. You are the one that won’t answer my questions. I’ve said why I believe he gets the abuse he does. Calling him an Irish cnut or something similar is just a descriptor. If there was so much hatred for people just for being Irish then why can’t you give me one other example? I’ve said numerous times he is singled out because of the poppy thing, wrongly, and then he continues to make a dick of himself which then increases the focus on him again. It is not because he is Irish.
Why he gets the abuse is irrelevant mate surely you see that. A player being a twat wouldn't make it alright for some to racially abuse them so i'll refer back to my original point which you replied to, if it was another player getting abused for their race/religion then people wouldn't try to justify it by saying he's a twat or he's brought it upon himself etc.
As for other Irish players receiving similar abuse i have no idea which ones have and haven't, and i suspect neither do you.
