Why donât you just say 4 then.
James McClean sprinted towards me for a 50/50 ball in the second half in the corner where I was the other night. The look on his face, the focus, the concentration, the total effort bursting out of every sinew as he went flat out for that ball, the will to win it, the refusal to be beaten, the willingness to sacrifice himself, it was reminiscent of Carl Lewis at his best mixed with the heroism of Bobby Sands. Iâm so proud that he represents part of our country.

This MacLean chap mostly runs around like a heedless chicken in fairness. The highlight of the Belgian match was yer man heading away up the field on the way to creating the second goal while the ira man was still down at the corner flag swinging at fresh air wondering where the ball had gone. 
The Eire players havenât been putting in the huge efforts most teams have been doing tho so a lad bursting his hole does 're d to stand out.
The Eire players are at the bottom of the pile for metres covered whickt considering the style of kick and rush bollock and bite put em under pressure game they play is quite a surprise.
Is he on drugs like Carl Lewis? I hope not.
Sounds like smart play to me
Link to that meters covered info?
Eire have the oldest squad in the tournament. Probably donât have it in the legs.
RTE played a clip of that incident a few minutes ago, which was the first time Iâd seen it since I saw it live in front of me. With the intensity of the occasion it hadnât stuck with me that it was far from a 50/50 ball, it was actually an 80/20 ball against McCleanâs favour, a ball he had no right to win. Yet not only did he get to the ball first, he won a free kick.
God save James McClean.

McClean will be on off the ball tonight.
James had a very good game for West Brom today. 
Oh James McClean so hard to beat
Every time the ballâs at his feet
Wonât wear the poppy, gets misunderstood
But on the pitch he plays so good
You better hold on, better hold on tight
'Cause James McCleanâs gonna score tonight
Heâs gonna beat them, beat them on his own
He canât be stopped when heâs in the zone
He wants the World Cup, oh he wants it bad
And heâs the best weâve ever had
You better hold on, better hold on tight
'Cause James McCleanâs gonna score tonight
I imagine James McClean would most likely despise you. Nice ditty though.
You have a very dull imagination, mate.
