James McClean Response
At this point in his career, the 33-year-old has learned to deal with the abuse he unfortunately receives from opposition fans.
Millwall's home ground 'The Den' has a reputation of being a hostile place for any player to play in, never mind for anyone that is individually targeted to the lengths he is.
While some people may have snapped after receiving the level of abuse he has, James McClean saw the funny side to it all on his Instagram story, mocking the club's stadium name in the process.

On the pitch, it has been a successful run of form for the winger. His strong from this season at Wigan has made him an important part of Stephen Kenny's Ireland side at left-wing back.
In yesterday's game, it was another Ireland international who got the goal for Wigan, with Will Keane giving them a short lived lead in the first half.
