'Delighted as a fan we got the win. Personal level #fuming' - McClean

The Sunderland winger was as unimpressed as the majority of Ireland fans this evening.


JAMES MCCLEAN DID not mince his words following Irelandโ€™s hugely underwheming performance against Kazakhstan this evening.

Following their fortunate 2-1 win against a side ranked number 142 in the world, the winger tweeted: โ€œDelighted as a fan we got the win.. Personal level #fumingโ€.

McClean had previously risked upsetting Trapattoni by tweeting that he was fully fit to play, despite the Italian manager opting to pick Simon Cox ahead of him on the wing tonight.

And this latest tweet is likely to land McClean in hot water, despite the winger deleting it minutes after he had posted it.

    Darren Gibson got it spot on. Why go all that way to warm the bench

    Hopefully his tweet wonโ€™t affect his chances of inclusion in the next teamโ€ฆโ€ฆ..with any luck Crapattoni will be long gone by then.

    They read out the full tweet on NewsTalk earlier on. He certainly didnโ€™t hold back. I think he has a point though. Heโ€™s a winger and strikers were being put on in his position ahead of him while he got a trip to Kazakhstan to watch the match.

    Heโ€™s young & doesnโ€™t have the experience to just say the usual standard speak. Heโ€™s twitted what every single player and supported is thinking.
    Delaney show some guts, sack the Trap and letโ€™s give Oโ€™Brienโ€™s money to Harry.
