[Ayrshire Bear]

Attempt to show support for his team mates taken the wrong way?

He played for the IRA?

 

[thechosenone]

Utter clown and simpleton.

 

[londonbluenose]

Clown.

Prick in my eyes

 

[minder]

What team mates require that kind of support?

 

[Jjbscotty]

Hope he suffers a career ending injury.

 

[mkgers]

The amount of English people with a preference for the plastic paddys in Scotland would suggest that most of them wouldn't care.

The proper fans who support the international team may but in my experience your average Englishman knows very little about political issues in the rest of the UK.

 

[RDFM]

No one will, or should, care.

 

[Cardiffloyal]

Utter clown and simpleton.

England should play him once to tie him to them and then forget about him.

Rhat.

“After the old posts resurfaced, Rice wrote on Instagram on Thursday: “I am aware that a poorly-expressed comment I made when I was a junior player has been circulated on social media.
“I recognise now that my attempt to show support for my team-mates at the time could be negatively interpreted.
“While my naive words were not meant to be a political opinion and do not represent who I am, I sincerely apologise for any offence caused.”
Aye,right you are..

 

[minder]

Face like the map of Ireland

 

[Valley Bluenose]

That's him coming oot my fantasy footie team now!

 

[Lurgan Loyal]

John Delaney the CEO of the FAI likely put him up to it.

 

[theperoniloyal]

Done it in 2015, 4 years ago.

No doubt the media will look to generate controversy in exchange for clicks.

Like this thread.

 

[adidasler]

He's just the type to end up in a rape allegation.

Utter halfwit.

 

[Supermac1872]

A rendition of UDR4 in the England changing room should square things up.

Aye, the media are to blame this lady's front bottom supported the people who carried out countless atrocities.

 

[bearmind]

As well as Rice, Michael Conlan the Belfast Boxer had 'up.the ra' by Wolfe tones played before his bout at Madison Sq Gardens NY. Typical Republican-mhank behaviour from both. In Conlan's case when you compare how Barry McGuigan, Wayne McCullough and Carl Frampton have conducted themselves over the years,with a cross community perspective, and kept politics out of Boxing.

As in the IRA weren't so bad in 2015?

 

[Necro]

Idiotic but so were all of us at 16.

No reason to believe the apology isn’t genuine, he wouldn’t be playing for England if he actually supported them

Once a Republican scumbag, always a Republican scumbag.

 

[Laudrups Barnet 55]

Every second comment on sky sports tweet about it is from the unwashed “Declan rice 19th Century Terrorist army” he plays for England you daft lady's front bottom hahaha

Whilst I agree he's a lady's front bottom for posting this, 16 years old is a boy not a man.

 

[Div1872]

F.uckng moron

England should tell him no thanks

Away and play with the ROI you’re not wanted here

 

[Torque_87]

He has the look about him.

 

[Barclay the Bear]

So he's saying the Irish teams support terrorism

 

[Weegie]

Looks like one of them

 

[BucksBear]

Another plastic who is happy to play the oirish card whilst taking the english coin

 

[RoxburghGer]

The FA issued an apology for England fans singing F*** the IRA in Parkhead so I doubt they'll mind

 

[Broxmeister]

No one will, or should, care.

Really?

 

[Coopers left foot.]

It's a politicalchant/song in Fifas eye, hence the apology.

 

[kdy_bear]

Idiotic but so were all of us at 16.

No reason to believe the apology isn’t genuine, he wouldn’t be playing for England if he actually supported them

And yet the SNP reckon people are mature enough to make a desicion on what's best for the country at 16.

 

[John Wilson]

England should play him once to tie him to them and then forget about him.

Rhat.

Rhat.

He’s tied to them now anyway. They should just let him rot.

 

[The Royal Standard]

Cretin

 

[DC Anchor]

I am aware that a poorly-expressed comment I made when I was a junior player has been circulated on social media.

yes it is poorly expressed, but its the content not the mere expression
perhaps someone should inform him that the Famine is over.......................

 

[Adamski82]

Stand by for the day filth fans telling anyone who will listen they have a pyoor speshul relationship with him.

What a dick

More interesting will be the narrative adopted by the wider English public and press.
Will we be treated to claims of "anti-Irish racism" that would be peddled up here? I doubt it.

 

[AstralFlame72]

Anyone who cares about this is an utter moron tbh.

 

[DavieM]

What a load of shite - he has switched to play for England because it will further his career and guarantee even more money in his pocket.

 

[Oshahoorsir]

Looks like a wrong un

 

[Arkanoid]

The English public aren't daft when it comes to players of his ilk, McLean getting booed at stadiums across the country at Club level prove as much. If he thought Sterling got the treatment this will be different level! He'll be wishing he was tucking into a plate of smash pre match whilst Pricks Mick McCarthy gives his team selection. Wrong choices in so many ways from the young lad
**I now see he was 15, unfortunately it shows how he was dragged up. I think in reflection I should save any anger for the environment he was raised in to ever thank that was acceptable, rather than beyond offended by comments from a child

 

[hms]

I hope your support gives you a rousing welcome of no surrender to the IRA, scum!

 

[theperoniloyal]

Aye, the media are to blame this lady's front bottom supported the people who carried out countless atrocities.

I sincerely doubt him, nor the average 16 year old, knows anything about the atrocities the IRA commiteed and probably never will.

 

[yardie]

It's insulting to the victims of terrorism.

Wasn't aware the IRA had a football team.

 

[hhss]

I doubt many will lose sleep over it, but if, through social media and playing on the pitch he gets a hard time, then good. Fuq the rhat bastard.
