Baggy I read with interest the Telegraph article. It's main point seems to be the same argument several others have already posted on here, that being that McLean should basically sod off if he doesn't like the flag/national anthem and that he is a hypocrite for working and paying taxes here. To that I would say:
a) Everyone has to live and work somewhere. Playing professional football in a country doesn't mean you have to agree with its foreign policy or swear allegiance to its head of state. That seems like an unfair expectation on someone just for pursuing their career.
b) McLean (whether he likes it or not) is a citizen of the UK so he technically hasn't even moved to another country by living and working here. If he went back to where he came from (Northern Ireland) he would still be in the UK.
