No he is a bigger Cnut that the dole drawing republicans in the north. Morals are easy when you are a millionaire from the people have made you. As big a scum as the cnuts caught up in the Nama scandal....

The poppy thing I can agree with to a certain extent but this is much different. Anyone defending him Needs a good hard look at themselves. Certainly fcukers liviving in American for the last 20 years opinions are of no validity. They should mind their own business, as they contribute fcuk all but vile sectarian bile to a society in a country they abandoned.

Where do you start,

I don't nor have I ever drawn "the dole"

What James McLean  did was refuse to pay homage to the flag and anthem which has supported catholic oppression since partition almost 100 years ago.

The claim to "abandonment of the six counties" lies totally upon the ROI and should not be passed onto the emigrates who left for a better life.

Said it was silly and attention seeking... Plenty players from many different sports respect countries anthems when put in a position... I fecking hate GSTQ to be honest but id say same for Ulster players playing for Ireland in Dublin, but hey ya know what, they get on with it because they are smart intelligent guys who may not agree with the standing to a ' Foreign' anthem but respect it ....


Me personally I'd ban all Anthems, pure waste of time and very rarely are they given the respect

Another article from the mirror. Interestingly it has a poll at the end and 87% of people who voted said he should not be sacked for his refusal to face towards the flag. As I said before the British public are not as outraged as some people would have us believe.

You must have served in her majestys armed forces lad!

We did not abandon Ireland you idiot, we we simply gave up on Ireland, you see bigfella the thought of raising two girls in the occupied six was not something we could stomach, we lived in the part of Ireland that was handed to the brits by the very man whose nickname you so cherish, you know the republican Michael Collins, I am sure your views toward the unemployed republicans in the north would be of absolutely no use to him, he would have reviled you for the wannabee west Brit you are! Stay off the needle son!


We did not 'abandon' Ireland, we gave up on Ireland because it abandoned us!

Where's the 'I don't give a feck' option?

Is McClean that important that he has to have two threads on here about his "disrespect" for GSTQ. Fcuk sake go to any game this weekend in Ireland and you will see total disrespect for our own anthem at every ground.
