What did Kirk Broadfoot say to James McClean?

He allegedly told him what he is.

Broadfoot is a well known cretin.

Kirk Broadfoot, 20, a St Mirren defender, was facing a jail sentence last night after he and John Barr, 24, both of Drongan, Ayrshire, were convicted of attacking a man and breaking his jaw in a post-match brawl in August 2003. Broadfoot assaulted Thomas Roney after watching an amateur game. Sentencing was deferred until next month.

He got community service for that after his manager spoke up for him while the victim got a metal plate in his face.

He got off on a later assault charge on a 'not proven' verdict and once was injured while microwaving an egg.

I assume McClean is a Prince William type character.

McLean is a well known cretin.

thanks ackie..kinda knew broadfoot was innocent.

broadfoot is an idiot if he allowed himself to be goaded by that hate filled bigot.

apparently he's now taking legal advice because he wants a chance to put his side of the story as he was seemingly convicted purely on the word of a couple of "easily offended" fans.

Broadfoot spewing out the vile anti-catholic abuse. May not play with Rangers no more but the club DNA is firmly entrenched...

The usual scum defending the Bigot Broadfoot who HATES everything Irish and Catholic.  A lot of similar types in Ayrshire.

What is wrong with being a loyal UK citizen?

We have been bombed by all sorts over the past 30 years in London and it is natural for people to be bitter about scum murdering innocent people including women and childeren.

The real bigots and vermin are the people who murder innocent UK citizens.

The Irish hate the Brits for historic reasons and about time these people sang the National Anthem or head to pastures new where they can be happier.

Anyone who disrespects the British national anthem should be jailed for 6 months and fined 3 years wages...Broadfoot probably told the hypocrite McLean so in no uncertain terms...very good.

Isn't this the piece of Shyte McLean that refused to face the English flag for the National anthem?...send the **** back where he came from.

That's him, you`ve summed him up nicely...a complete hypocrite, let him go and live and work in that republican paradise Ireland.

They have sent tens of thousands of their unemployed to England since gaining independence since the 1920s and what thanks do you get...charmless c..t

All the Mensa members posting on this thread I see

He told McClean that Rangers never died in 2012. The FA had to make a stand against such an insane statement.

They also inserted a confidentiality clause to save Broadfoot from being pointed at and laughed at by the general public. At least no more than usual.

Broadfoot is not only a remarkably mediocre footballer but a also complete buffoon.

Sounds like he should be the next signing for Rosie Delia at Celtic Johnny

none of the Rangers fans condemning sectarian abuse then. How predictable..

freddick

This may come as a surprise to you but the English are under no obligation to like anyone from Ireland, or indeed Scotland.

If Broadfoot made this clear to Mclean I don`t think it should give us pause for concern...the English are a tolerant nation but Mcleans behavior shames not England but himself, his family and his own country.

Well said above.

I have no problems with anyone from our 4 Nations who are loyal to Queen and country.

Maybe McClean would be happier playing for one of the plethora of Dublin teams.

If he is happy to take English money then he should show more respect for our traditions, culture and tolerance towards people who come to live and work here.

The way McClean is carrying on, you would have thought the UK people let the Irish starve to death during the potato famine not saved them.

ffs lads I'm a ex squaddie but if you look where the lad comes from all he is doing is being respectful to his community where no doubt he has family and furthermore will settle once his career is over.

while his views differ from mine I respect his stance knowing full well he will be slated,quite a brave individual who if I was going into battle I would like someone like him by me side.

cut him some slack ffs.

He is only brave because he is living and working in England...would it be so safe for an English footballer to behave in such a way in Dublin or some of the more bloodthirsty parts of Belfast or Derry.

He would not be so bold and impertinent if living in Germany or France, China, Russia or most other countries....it is bad manners if nothing else to presume on the good nature of the English.

Vlad - makes valid points.  The people in Derry City have little tolerance for the British flag.  Maybe McClean would be better off playing in the US.  Or maybe he should do what other catholics do when playing for Northern Ireland who lower their heads when the anthem comes on.  Don't have to turn ur back and create hassle for urself

Kriskin I will tell you what he must have a strong character and for that alone he has my respect.

ps and the majority on here know where I come from.

I understand sir.  You always come across on here as someone who is very fair in your comments

He is quite entitled to go and play football in any country in the world, however while he is in the US, or Dublin, or Spain or Russia he is duty bound to respect that countries flag...it is hypocritical, cowardly and dishonest to take the stance he does.

If he goes to those countries he wouldn't do what he did last week.  Vlad gives the reasons why he done it

We all know the reasons and he is quite entitled to have those views, he is not entitled to disrespect a nations national anthem...it is a problem for England in that kindness can be mistaken for weakness....an Englishman in Derry, or Belfast or Dublin would not be so sure or arrogant.

Broadfoot can't be a bigot..... a prominent Catholic lawyer helped him get his 'not proven' verdict.

A lot of similar types in Ayrshire.

Sadly that is very true.

i've seen many of your posts now across these forums and have come to the conclusion that you are somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan

As an ex-squaddie who was in NI the year after Bloody Sunday and someone who lives close to Birmingham where more innocent lives were lost I must admit I'm biased and had, and have, no respect whatsoever for the IRA and their affiliates. I also support the team he now plays for.

I do however respect Irish people, and Ireland, in general and would not think of demeaning their flag or national anthem. Time has passed and McLean is doing more harm than good by his stance.

^ Interesting post Charlie as we come from the same "camp" so to speak, surely you have to admire his stance as I for one can understand his position.

ps my tour was west belfast when the gibralter 3 were shot by the SAS and furthermore their funeral was attacked ........not to mention the 2 lads who left my base and went into the back of a funeral cortage and were killed for their troubles.

Any IRA members or supporters are the scum of the earth.

No middle ground here and no surrender to such vermin.

Supporters of people who murder women and children should really have a good look at themselves.

Thats not what this is about.

Broadfoot unleashed a load of sectarian abuse at McClean and has been punished it for it. He could do it to anybody, was just McClean in this instance.

the best way to highlight intolerence is to isolate it, not compete with it.

Broadfoot was guilty of sectarian abuse. So was McLean. One gets punished the other doesn't.

really Charlie?? who has accused him d'you know? gotta link?

If him is McLean then me amongst others. Link is two posts above.

Charlie, Broadfoot has just got a record ban for sectarian abuse against James McClean, who is the innocent party in the matter. Its really that simple, stop inventing nonsense.

freddiek, I'm not disputing Broadfoot's abuse. I do not agree that McLean is an innocent party.

in this instance he is. I understand you may have issues about his previous actions but unless you were at the game and know something we don't you've no evidence to say that.

Apologies if I'm not making myself clear. Broadfoot was wrong.

I'm not talking about this particular game but his (McLean's) actions at various football games.

EXAMPLE??

Can anybody provide a link to McClean turning his back on the English flag, or in some way disrespecting the anthem prior to March 2015 when the instance with Broadfoot took place?

If not then these incidents are irrelevant to what happened between him and Broadfoot as they hadn't happened yet.

Thats not what this is about.

How do you know that? It doesn't clarify what the abuse was.
McLean has singled himself out in the past with his stance on the wearing of Poppies and turning his back when the National Anthem was being played.
He's well known for his republican sympathies and not only political either.
That's his choice and Broadfoot had a go at him. That was his choice. Broadfoot got punished but I have no sympathy for McLean who I see as a bigot.

he obviously had more than a go at him, 10-match ban indicates that. Aka you're either firmly against sectarian abuse or you support bigotry, its that simple.

its wrong no matter who is on the receiving end.

McClean didnt abuse anybody. He shouldnt be forced to wear poppies..I would describe what he did re. the anthem as misguided or disrespectful. But its still his right to do that and not against the law. So clearly not in same category as Broadfoot

Refusing to wear a poppy was Nov 2014 and also a year earlier at Sunderland I believe.

thats his choice, no law against that..There is however a law against sectarianism, so making a comparison between the 2 is nonsensical.

I presume you posted that before my last post.

liking songs are not illegal, its your personal choice. McClean may not like Rule Britannia say, or other songs that may be popular in a BA barracks.

In the context of this discussion it's relevant.

We're not getting very far with this. You think he's goody-two-shoes. I don't.

Why did the FA not release what was supposed to have been said by Broadfoot? When in the case of Terry vs. Anton Ferdinand the FA quoted the exact words that Terry was charged with saying.

Also anyone in the Broadfoot case was prohibited from discussing anything about it or the verdict, yet Terry was allowed to freely talk about the case after his guilty verdict.

All very bizarre imo

It will all come out eventually. No doubt via a book release.

Reports suggest that the confidentiality clause was invoked to 'protect the safety of those involved'.

Make of that what you will. If true I can only come to the conclusion that in the opinion of the FA, some people that would make James McClean look squeaky clean might put Broadfoot's safety in jeopardy if his remarks became public.

And to make matters even worse, he's no good anyway. He'd be no loss to any team.
Stick him back up to Derry City, he can play a bit of football , and still have time for intimidating people, looting , chanting nationalist songs and whatever else them yokes get up to.

Mincer has nailed it here.

I've been disrespecting that dirge and what it stands for since I was old enough to know, not that I'd particularly agree or disagree with McLean, a rebel with an antique cause.

Mincer is a complete moron typical plastic red neck

mincer never fails to disapoint!!

I've just found the clip, first time I've seen it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOXqs09CklU

He didn't turn his back, but he did turn 45 degrees to the side.
My view is it was unnecessary. I'll defend anyone's right not to wear poppies or to wear white poppies, but this kind of stuff is just
confrontational. There's no need for it. I don't know the lad but I hope he's nothing like Stokes - that man is a bellend IMO.

mincer has hit nail on head .

Is JM in paddy mcourts  f e n i a n  army ?

the mock outrage from the perptually offended is laughable  WALOFS

Any ideas why a family from one of the most hardcore loyalist villages in Scotland, might name their children so their initials are KB?

"Broadfoot unleashed a load of sectarian abuse at McClean and has been punished it for it." 

according to a couple of fans who obviously have the same bigoted views as McClean and as we all know from experience, sectarian fans would never make anything up about the other side, would they.

Two complete morons of the highest order, and anybody who supports them two prikks will basically be one of them brain dead sectarian mob who cannot think for themselves . They should sack the piece of Shiite and send him back to that kip Derry , that's what they should do. He doesn't have much of a problem looking at the queens head when it's on a note, now does he ?I'm actually disgusted that they got the basstard to play for the Republic , I'd much prefer if he played with that other shower up North.

Irish man my fook.  Ur a proper tool.

jesus wept. hope all rangers fans are not this thick.

Mclean has made a big point of making his anti - Brtish feelings known for a good while now.

Thats his right to do so, - but dont do it in Britain and take British coin to boot. If he feels that strongly about his contempt for Britain, i suggest he plies his trade back in Ireland.

Then again, he would be on 2 bob a week there, so understand why he hasnt gone home just yet.

If he feels so strong wtf is he doing here ?   

should be deported along with the other hate preachers

Thread in summary: McClean is bigoted sectarian scvm; Broadfoot is a good lad.

I wonder how many English people will salute the ISIS flag when they take over the country in the next 30 years ?

Fred all Newco fans are that thick, sad but true as a few prize specimens on here bear witness to that fact
