I didn't realise that Shane had decided to play for the republic, good luck to him.
How sad, biggoted and twisted can people be?
May be the type of tripe that is in the minds and hearts of these people is exactly the reason for his decision.
Far too many footballers and people have had to live with these threats and taunts for too long.
Good luck Shane and hope to see you strutting your stuff at Goodison soon.
