Maybe it's a reaction to how they celebrated at the end.
The lack of clarity from the media just fuels more speculation.
Looks like the Manchester papers say McClain was one of the players.
I also note that the Wigan have offered ‘support’ for the ‘abused’ players. What is all that about ffs? Any footballer who would require support because someone said something nasty on social media, should perhaps get a job more appropriate for their delicate constitution.
McClean doesn’t look like a delicate type to me, he should just ignore it and not give the cretins the oxygen of publicity they so obviously crave.
