In retirement, Beglin has become one of the most well-known commentators in the game, working for RTE, ITV, and BT Sport, among others.
The former defender took to social media to slam trolls who accused him and other commentators of bias.
Posting on X, he said: "To the ignoramuses (and that’s what you are) who continually accuse football commentators of bias, our job is to call games and not cheerlead your team. Taking a sabbatical from this cesspit."
Beglin also teased critics with his bio reading: "Apparently, I’m biased against all 20 Premier League clubs."
