Karren Brady hits out at James McClean after Ireland man told West Ham and England star Declan Rice to ‘sod off’
Karren Brady has defended Declan Rice from James McClean’s criticism of players who switch their international allegiance.The 20-year-old midfielder, who has already played for the Republic of Ireland, made his first competitive start for England on Monday night in the 5-1 win over Montenegro, three days after coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Dele Alli against the Czech Republic.3

Declan Rice has won two caps for England

Rice decided to switch his international allegiance following three friendly appearances, having qualified to play for Ireland through the heritage of his grandparents.The move prompted a critical response from former international team-mate McClean, who said he ‘didn’t buy it.’The Stoke City midfielder told Irish broadcasterRTE: He said he was a proud Irishman. Then he said he was a proud Englishman. If hes both good luck to him but I dont buy it. I think youre either one or the other.I was with Derry City when I got the call-up to play for the North, and I turned it down because its not my country, its never been my country.Im an Irishman.Its not just Declan, its anyone else. If youre not proud to be here and were a stepping stone, then sod off and play for someone else.3

McClean was critical of Rice’s decision

Im an Irishman. I grew up on the island of Ireland, simple as that. We only want players here who want to play for Ireland, who feel Irish and are proud to be Irish.But West Ham vice-chairman Brady has taken aim at McClean for his comments, saying his ‘memory must be failing him’.In her column for The Sun, Hammers vice-chairman Brady wrote: The racism the England players endured in Montenegro on Monday was a disgrace and the authorities have to come down hard on this but a nasty form of prejudice then landed on Rices doorstep.3

Brady has defended Rice

He is a big enough lad to defend himself but his decision to play for England ahead of the Republic of Ireland was his and his alone to make, no one elses.So for that renowned expert on world affairs James McClean to aim a cheap shot at him telling Declan to sod off is pretty average behaviour.McCleans memory must be failing him as he represented Northern Ireland Under-21s before opting for the Republic. Pretty dirty Id say, Mr McClean.
