James McClean was never going to shy away from this abusive tweet after his late Chelsea goal

His reaction though...

JOE

James McLean is no stranger to hitting the headlines.

Whether it’s picking up a silly red card, putting people in their place about the meaning of his tattoos or his decision not to wear a poppy, the West Brom man is never out of the spotlight.

He was on hand to score a late equaliser for his Baggies side at Stamford Bridge, something which would have irked many Chelsea supporters who are still craving their first consecutive league wins of the season.

For some reason, it also appeared to have p*ssed off a Burnley-supporting Twitter user, who tagged the Irish international in a spectacularly abusive tweet below.

Whereas many professional footballers might have ignored such a tweet, McClean chose not to shy away from it.

We’re not too sure he gives much of a sh*t…
