yeah im strange like that , having no time for someone as hypocritical as mclean , when we.lost.5.blokes in our regiment to the IRA , when they tried to kill me personally , perhaps you think i should applaud this bloke , who demonstrably hates us and doesnt mind showing it?

Are you REALLY comparing McLean with Saville!
Refusing to wear a poppy or to acknowledge the Union Flag does not stop you from being a decent person.

No I don't think you should applaud him, and you clearly have your reasons - however, your insistence on dragging up these sort of thread is frankly tiresome.
Paul McCartney wrote a song Give Ireland Back to the Irish, maybe you would like to start on him next...?

McClean got that tattoo since moving to England and that photo is of him making sure everyone gets to see it whilst playing for West Brom. He's doing absolutely nothing to try to put across his views in even a half-sensible way (unlike Duffy) and everything to goad and provoke those who disagree with him.
Fair enough, I completely support anyone's right to wear or not wear a poppy and do so without having to justify themselves but if you flash around a tattoo like that in England whilst earning a fortune here then don't be shocked if you then get called a massive cock.

Given his views maybe it would make sense if he worked in another country. A talented footballer should be able to earn good money in many other European countries, does seem hypocritical

why exactly ?
I've told you Nationalialism is awful. You agree, and as I've said before Tommy shouldn't have been there. You should have thought for yourself.

I also think he is a “massive cock” but that’s a world away from stating someone isn’t a ‘decent’ person.
There must be millions working in countries, either by birth or by choice, who don’t agree with aspects of that country’s politics - to suggest they are hypocrites, as some have done, is just silly.

I'm glad he did, I hadn't seen this news until now and quite frankly I feel a tiny bit better than I did before I'd read it.

"...disagree with aspects of that country's politics..."
Sorry, but the silly thing would be to try to compare this to someone opposed to capital punishment working in the USA. If you have Anti-British political convictions that strong that you get them permanently written on a part of your body intended for everyone to see then I find it very difficult to get my head around any other explanation.

TBF to Alfred mizen, this story is in today's news, it's about a footballer and this is a football forum.
Point being I find all the political threads on this football forum a bit tiresome.
Politically strong, musically weak, banned but better than Mary had a little lamb.
