James McClean goes viral in video mocking Nathan Collins over Jack Grealish tackle

James McClean goes viral in a video of him mocking Nathan Collins over that much talked about kung-fu tackle on Jack Grealish.

McClean couldn’t help but take the piss out of the Wolves player over his red card against Manchester City at the weekend.

After 33 minutes at Molineux, with Pep Guardiola’s team leading 2-0, the Wolves defender landed his boot on Grealish’s midriff.

Despite protesting, he was given his marching orders by referee Anthony Taylor. Collins, however, waited in the tunnel at Molineux for 25 minutes after the final whistle in the Premier League game to apologise to Grealish, and reportedly was ‘distraught’ about his challenge on the Man City star.

He waited to apologise while Grealish conducted post-match interviews and celebrated on the pitch with teammates.

Collins is said to have told Grealish that he was aiming to win the ball, and that the tackle wasn’t malicious. Grealish accepted the apology.

Ruben Neves criticised the consistency of Premier League officials after Wolves defender Nathan Collins saw red in the defeat to Manchester City.

 

The Ireland squad met with each other on Sunday ahead of their two Nations League games in the next 10 days, and it was all smiles in the camp going into the two games.

But in typical McClean fashion, he greeted Collins by mocking him about the red card he picked up against City for a nasty challenge on Jack Grealish.

In particular, McClean took issue with the fact that Collins spent so long protesting on the pitch, and that he should have just gotten off the pitch quicker.

“Just get off the pitch will you! Just get off the pitch instead of walking around doing all that. And then waiting 25 minutes to apologise? F**k off, will ya?”

Collins, who didn’t seem too bothered by the mocking, simply replied with: “I didn’t mean to do it…”

Elsewhere in the same video, Collins is seen being talked to by a number of other coaches and players, and while it’s not definitive, it does seem quite clear that they are discussing the high tackle on Grealish. You just know that it’s going to be talked about some way or another amongst the squad and staff.
