Quantum, I'm sure you're right that he will get slated but then he's been taking flak for his political views during his whole career. I actually admire James McLean for having the courage of his convictions to openly express his personal feelings even though he's aware he will be criticised for them. He wears his heart on his sleeve, you can see that in the way he plays but also in his personal life and the generosity he shows for those less financially fortunate than himself or in need of help. I have no idea what James' view of McGuinness the IRA commander is but it's clear that, as a strong Republican, he shared McGuiness' political stance and desire for a United Ireland. It's not surprising, therefore, that he expresses his admiration.
