James McClean has called out the English FA for their failure to deal with anti-Irish abuse in the game after another incident, this time at Blackpool.
Wigan Athletic visited Bloomfield Road in a Championship meeting on Saturday, which Blackpool won 1-0, but the match was overshadowed by sectarian chants from the home fans.
McClean highlighted the issue to the referee Thomas Bramall after being targeted while going to take a first-half corner, with police also close to the chanting, according to photographs and footage of Saturday's incidents.
Blackpool supporters sang songs about the IRA and the Pope, and targeted foul language at McClean because of his nationality - while the home crowd claimed the 33-year-old was angry at the sight of a Northern Ireland flag.
McClean responded to that claim: 'On the incident today (aye another one) do not get it twisted, I was not offended by a flag honestly you can stick the flag up your hole for all I care.'
It is not the first time McClean has been at the end of this kind of abuse. The FA have previously investigated fans singing anti-Pope and anti-IRA songs towards McClean on a number of occasions.
In November, the Wigan winger was booed for his stance against the Poppy, speaking out on social media about 'eight years of abuse' in regards to the matters.
An FA Cup game at Luton Town earlier this year saw similar comments made - and has led the winger to raise scepticism about the way official football bodies handle the discrimination.
McClean wrote on Instagram: 'Everyone’s a big hard man behind a two foot advertising hoarding with the invisible wall in front of them holding them back.
'Referee will make a report to the FA, the same process that happened at Luton away in the FA Cup game either this season with evidence clear as day, as on many occasions over the years, yet the nothing again will happen.
'This is simply just highlighting the double standards firstly the FA have and secondly how utter useless that the English FA are.'
On Sunday afternoon, McClean posted another message on Instagram 'to close the matter my side'.
Some fans had defended their actions by claiming no other Irish players are abused, or that their teams feature players from across the Irish Sea.
McClean retorted: '1) If you shout anti-Irish abuse at me, if you call me an Irish c**t, or fenian c**t, then you are also also abusing those players. If they choose to ignore it, then that's on them. If my own fanbase abused another Irish player on the opposition, then I'd take exception, as a fellow Irishman, to it but that's just me.
'2) If you don't realise No.1 above, then you are an absolute idiot.'
According to Wigan Today, an FA Spokesperson said: 'We strongly condemn all forms of discriminatory and offensive behaviour, which has no place in our game.
'The incident during the match between Blackpool and Wigan Athletic is being investigated by the club and the relevant authorities, who have jurisdiction over individual spectators.
'We are also investigating the matter to ensure that the appropriate action is taken and we will review the details in the match official’s report.'
They also claim that the matter is being investigated by Lancashire Police and Blackpool Football Club.
