Wrexham star James McClean fires shocking insult at Shrewsbury after getting ‘sent into orbit’
James McClean took to Instagram to call Shrewsbury a ‘cesspit of inbreds’ after being targeted in Wrexham’s 2-1 defeat. Shrewsbury hosted the Red Dragons in League One on Thursday night for what would be another fierce and atmospheric cross-border derby. McClean and Shrewsbury fans had to be separated by securityGetty As is often the case, McClean was targeted by the home faithful throughout the game and tensions reached boiling point in stoppage time. The Irishman was on the end of a thunderous challenge from defender Aristole Nsiala, which almost sent McClean into orbit. Nsiala was seen shouting at McClean, along with the Shrewsbury faithful, and the full-time whistle shortly followed. However, the fiery scenes did not end there as McClean tried to confront the home fans at full-time, only for security to intervene. Now, responding to viral clips of the altercations, ex-Premier League star McClean fired a shocking insult at Shrewsbury fans on Saturday morning. McClean wrote on his Instagram story: “In fairness if I was born and raised in Shrewsbury i’d probably be this angry as well cause it’s an absolute cesspit full of inbreds.” The 35-year-old has developed a reputation as one of football’s most prolific antagonists during his 13-year career in English football. McClean is often subjected to abuse in England for his decision not to wear a poppy around Remembrance Sunday, citing the British army’s actions in his native Derry. As for the game, John Marquis netted in the 17th minute but was quickly answered by Steven Fletcher six minutes later. The Shrewsbury striker was not done for the night as he completed a brace soon after the second half resumed. McClean had a night to forget as Wrexham fell to a shock defeatGetty The home side only had 38 per cent possession but it was enough to earn a much needed three points. Not only does this game have decades of rivalry, it was one of huge importance as Wrexham and Shrewsbury occupy completely different ends of the League One table. The Shrews sit in 21st place, one spot above Crawley Town who have the same points and goal difference. By Sunday, Gareth Ainsworth’s men could be 23rd and seriously risk relegation, as all the teams currently below Shrewsbury have a game or two in hand. Wrexham, on the other hand, are third and targeting a third consecutive promotion. The two clubs first met in a 1945 FA Cup tie, but when the fixture became a regular occurrence in the 1960s and 1970s, the smoke began to rise. McClean is well-accustomed to abuse from oppositon fansGetty Police were often needed to prevent or break up fights between supporters. In 2008, Shrewsbury’s 3-0 victory over Wrexham helped seal Wrexham’s relegation out of the Football League. Both clubs endured financial trouble but Wrexham came off worse and spent 15 years in the fifth tier, often being mocked by Shrewsbury fans. In 2020 the fortunes of Wrexham changed for good when Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became owners. After years of being the butt of the joke, Wrexham have now entered League One and continue to do well, 31 points above Shrewsbury. But on Thursday, it was the Shrews who claimed the bragging rights until they meet again.
