James McClean has reminded the boo-boys their taunts will only make him stronger as he prepares for Republic of Ireland's World Cup Qualifiers.
The winger, 27, returned to former club Sunderland with current employers West Brom at the weekend and was booed every time he touched the ball in his 100th career Premier League appearance.
Derry-born McClean was engulfed by controversy on Wearside in 2012 when he chose not to wear a commemorative poppy shirt, but the midfielder, who has taken his stance in respect for the victims of Bloody Sunday, has learned to feed off the abuse.
He said: "I'm a lot more mature as a person and as a player than I was during my time at Sunderland. It was all new to me there.
"I've got to be honest, I get booed everywhere I go now, but I try to turn that in the right way now, I try to use it as motivation.
"They can boo, they can chant, they can scream this and that, but at the end of the day, they can't affect what I do on the pitch. It's noise from the stands.
"At the end of the day, if they're booing me, it gives you that 'I want to prove you wrong' automatically. That's me as a person. You can sulk, or you say, 'I'm going to show you'.
"It's like someone telling you you can't do something, you want to be determined to show them that you can."
McClean will hope that determination can help him to retain a place in Martin O'Neill's Ireland team with their World Cup qualifying campaign under way.
He started last month's 2-2 draw with Serbia in Belgrade and is now intent on making himself indispensable, with Georgia due at the Aviva Stadium on Thursday evening ahead of Sunday's trip to Moldova.
The former Derry City winger said: "I want to become a regular not just at club level, but international level as well.
"I'm raring to go and hopefully this is the campaign where I finally nail down a place as a player in the first XI."
