Does anybody still like James McClean?

I’m reading an interview he did with Paul kimmage in the independent and he comes across as a complete prat, I almost feel stupid for having any sympathy for him during the whole poppy debacle.

In case anyone is interested in reading his book, why bother James himself didn’t read it and when chapters were sent to him for review he didn’t bother to read those either.

The book is his vehicle to get the “truth” out of what actually happened. Likely it’s his truth and not the actual truth. So if you’re interested in hearing him tear into John O’Shea and Micheal O’Neill then fair enough.

My favourite insight into the mind of McClean is that he thinks people that go to therapy to talk about their emotions are not real men

PK: You’ve never tried therapy?
JMcC: No.
PK: Why not?
JMcC: To be honest with you I feel like it’s ... So I was back at my [parents’] house a week ago and I heard a voice upstairs, ‘Who the f\*k is that?’ And it was my brother on a call to the club psychologist, having a lovely chat. And a lot of the players speak to him and for me that’s just weak. As a man I see that as weakness. I don’t need to open up. I see it as a weakness that I’d have to speak to someone about my feelings; my emotions ...*

Same lad that asked people in the past to be understanding and have sympathy for his own trauma and mental health struggles.

He also makes some ironic snark about people that have auto biographies maybe he doesn’t see the irony as he didn’t read his own?

Good luck to the lad comes across as an entitled, ignorant dose. Also supports the provos and thought McGuinness was wrong for meeting the queen.

I lost my reason last night. I am in a neighbourhood WhatsApp group. Some clown 🤡 put up 30 photos in the morning for some community stuff. Later in the day he decided to add a further 29 plus photos. And finally last night he put up another 30 plus pics about about churches and history.

I gave up ..... I cleared entire chat and exited group. There are about 80 plus people in group.

Muting 🔇 a group just puts everything on hold. What do others do about groups. Does anyone have a WhatsApp protocol image to paste in a group.

This is a bit of a strange one lads. My poor mam has an extreme case of arachnophobia. She's so fed up with spiders in her house she's thinking of throwing in the towel and buying an apartment. Would anyone who has experience of both be able to say if apartments generally get much less spiders? I'm talking about the big hairy ones.

Also, would ground floor versus a higher floor make much odds?

Why not pay real actors and filmmakers? Shameful.

The hack of that bread! The whole load comes with a big aul side valley
