The fact he is MAKING A POINT about not wearing one makes him a coont. Anybody with an ounce of decency would choose not to make a point out of it. Imagine the furore from the lefties if a player chose not to wear one for the kick it back campaign, or some other cause close to their hearts, but as it's an insult to Britain and not a minority it isn't an issue. | |

Spot on. Where as I always wear a poppy when I think of it, the gesture becomes pointless if everyone is expected to waer one. A lot of those we are remembering on poppy day died fighting for the right of freedom of speech and expression. | |

You can set your clock ck by it. Every year a load of people have a meltdown on the Internet because someone that they don't know and chances are will never meet, has a completely different opinion to theirs. It will be the same rehashed article year in, year out until his not so glittering career comes to an end.
Bizarre and yet predictable.
He does come across as being a bit of a tool, his behaviour towards Sunderland fans the other week highlighting that, but he is entitled to his opinion. | | | |

Does he have family members who were in the IRA? I'm sure I read that last time when he wouldn't wear one. | |

National Treasure Barbara Windsor stated earlier in the week that anyone who doesn't wear a poppy can sod off. That's good enough for me, cheers Babs. | | | |

I don't get the 'outrage' at it. Like Toffee said it's a rehashed story every year. 'Mclean doesn't wear a poppy' shock horror. If he did start wearing one, it'd be a token effort, and pointless.
I still think he's a prick, and I'll always wear my poppy.
Are you all a badge on coat poppy wearer? Or proper poppy? I've finally seen the old fella selling the badges outside waitrose portswood. | |

Surely this is just a question of basic manners? If I lived and worked in a foreign country (which is what the UK clearly is to him) then I would have the decency to respect their national days and the emblems associated with it.
Or to put it another way, if he really hates us that much why doesn't he live and work somewhere else? Somewhere where his religious intolerance might fit in nicely. Saudi maybe or ideally Syria?
The bloke is clearly a plum of the highest order and I'm glad he doesn't play for us. | |

Pin badge, get a new one every year - don't get messed up and bent, no faffing with needles etc. | |

I get that it is 'his right' but he will no doubt f-off so many people that pay his ridiculous salary, in what he believes to be a blood thirsty, murdering nation.
he probably hates everything British/English and what we did or didnt do to his countrymen.
he hates it all apart from
the wages, the fame, the health service, the general quality of life etc etc.
his life here, in a country is dislikes a fair bit is disgustingly better than it ever could be in the republic
I suspect that there are a fair number of WBA fans who are pee'd off with the lack of gesture he is showing [Post edited 31 Oct 2015 10:13]

if WBA, like all other PL clubs, have a special Remembrance day shirt with a poppy interwoven on the front of it, how is going to refuse to wear it ?
That will mean he is refusing to play..breaking his contract.....
Good way to sack the coont | |

McLean is a complete dimwitted prick, but he's got every right to not wear a poppy on his shirt without getting abused for it. The mouth breathers who think they have got a right to force him to wear one or to f*ck him off because he won't are completely at odds with the notion of freedom of speech and freedom of expression that so many lost their lives fighting for. | | | |

I quite like the fact that the reason he has the choice to wear one or not is down to the soldiers who died fighting so really he can't win either way.
We should just enjoy his right of free speech.
Besides he'd still be a tool, poppy or not. | | | |
| James McLean on 10:36 - Oct 31 with 2275 views | thedelldays |
be interesting if it is clubs policy or not for all players to wear one (which it wont be) and he broke that? [Post edited 31 Oct 2015 10:37]

| James McLean on 10:39 - Oct 31 with 2267 views | TheKraken |
He previosuly issued a statement through (Wigan I think) about why he wasn't wearing one, so it definitely won't be club policy. And nor should it be IMO. | | | |
| James McLean on 10:42 - Oct 31 with 2254 views | thedelldays |
fair one. it shouldnt be.
I think McLeans is a fecking prat. Turning away when the anthem is on. Quoting German philosophers on twitter when asked about Poppies/WW2.
but this attention will happen every year whilst he is a player. Good luck to him | | | |

as he is so keen on history he should also consider changing his name. Clan McLean has a very colourful history of treating the irish natives badly, land grabbing and providing his "enemy" with soldiers. [Post edited 31 Oct 2015 10:46]

He is undoubtedly a c0ck of the highest order; no doubt at all about that. | | | |

I remember Bilal shafayat wearing a sponsor free hampshire shirt because it had a beer company as a sponsor. If they did that he'd just wear the standard shirt. | |

He must be a real target for the Protestants in Northern Ireland given his choice not to play for Northern Ireland despite being from Derry.
I wouldn't want to be his postman. | |

Not sure I see a problem with this. We would not ask a Muslim player to wear one. A Muslim player may not complain if we do not wear things on their big days. He is not demanded to adhere to Poppy day is he? | |

Sergio Aguero shows how it should be done, what a class act.
McLean is lower than scum, not even worth a thread about him. | |
