Some fine posts on here.
I hated McLean when he arrived after his widely-reported protest. It was wrong both then and now. Nevertheless I respect his right to a different viewpoint.
There have been many wrongs perpetrated in Ireland by both the British and the Republicans. However we are way past the recriminations. We need peacemakers there.
Martin McGuiness was part of the problem there but very much part of the solution also. To the last he faced up to criticism of selling out to the British from dissident IRA who want the war to continue.
As for McLean he has moved on from the early bad times. Though not a great player, I defy anyone to name a bigger "trier" at the club. He busts a gut for WBA.
Born in N. Ireland he plays for Ireland, yet his countrymen, Brunt, MacAuley and Evans seems to like him. If they can forgive and forget, so should we.

Well said
