IRISH FOOTBALL STAR IN GAY PORN SCANDAL

Explicit images and x-rated videos linked to Irish football player Cathal McCarron have emerged online.
The videos, which are alleged to feature the 26-year-old athlete and father of one under the pseudonym “Fergus”, appeared on gay adult site TheCastingRoom.net.
One is a “solo” video clip while another features the man said to be McCarron having sex with another man.
On the site, “Fergus” is described as a “big strapping footballer” who “grew up in a rural area where sexual adventures were limited. Now that he’s living in the big city he wants to try it all!”
In a video called “Masculine straight Irishman’s first gay sex video,” Fergus says “There’s not much opportunity to do this in Ireland,” adding “I play football so I’m full-time getting naked in front of all the boys.”
McCarron hasn’t confirmed that he is the man in the video but the Irish Mirror appears convinced it is the footballer, who currently plays for the London GAA side.
Images from the video have been shared online and led to a spate of homophobic attacks against McCarron, leading him to shut down his Twitter and Facebook accounts.
If you were hoping to check out the videos, you’re out of luck. The Casting Room said that it had been asked to remove all content related to Fergus immediately, which it agreed to do.
London GAA county vice chairman Tony O’Halloran told the Irish Mirror: “I got a call warning me about the video and that it was out there and it’s fair to say we were all shocked.
“I know Cathal has had problems at home but since he’s come to London he’s been a great asset and he’s a very talented guy. I wouldn’t know him very well but I wasn’t aware that he had any problems since he moved here and now we’re just hoping he’ll get any help that he needs.”
Last year, Cathal was in the headlines for a gambling addiction.
Why do people care about this. I think its just a part time job who cares.
The web is full of porn and all of those actors are real people and deserve dignity like anybody else. People shaming porn stars are the same kind of people no one wants to see get it on.. think about that its petty.
