Any answers other than "he's a pr*ck" etc...
Whilst he is perfectly entitled to hold the views he has and being from Londonderry that's understandable. But what's strange is that his anti British sentiments don't extend to refusing to ply his trade in the English Premier League. Anything to do with money?

West Brom, Wigan etc had nothing to do with bloody sunday so why should he have a problem with them? there's a massive difference between not wanting to support the organisation who came to your village and slaughtered tens of people, and avoiding a whole country?
genuinely can't believe people cant understand his perspective here, if a foreign army comes to your town and kills your people would you wear the army's crest once a year to show support? f**k no.

If I felt that strongly I wouldn’t go and live in that country either.

That army’s crest? Dear oh dear, the poppy is an emblem of remembrance for All who’ve fallen in conflicts, not any armies crest. McLean is a classless piece of shite who wasn’t even born when Bloody Sunday happened, he hates this country but loves its currency

Agree with you this time.
I think he's the type of player we need to and will sign.
He's got a nasty side in him and he's a good player.
Not sure what not wearing a poppy has to do with football but people are entitled to say what they like.
