    How do you know that they were singing it because if his nationality rather than his refusal to participate in the act of remembrance ?

    And I should never be surprised that those who demand tolerance of the views of others are the least tolerant toward those who don’t share their views. Also see hypocrisy.

    How about responding to what I've put in the screenshot and telling me why you have a problem with his views without responding with whataboutery?

    Mclean has said his views come from a position of peace, NOT hatred. Why would he want to honour soldiers who served in NI if they killed innocent people off his estate?

    Unlike you I don't have the arrogance to assume the world revolves around little old Britain and everyone must conform. You are even going against the legion's wishes being a poppy Nazi but i'm sure you'll conveniently skirt over that like you do with everything else that is put to you that doesn't fit with your views.

    And no i don't agree with scab chants, why does anyone need to chant anything abusive? I'm pretty sure there is a law against spreading hatred also.

    Well we left at half-time partly because of it. Seeing grown men going purple in the face whilst venting sheer hatred is not something we wanted our grandkids to experience any longer. Utterly disgusting.

    I’m tolerant of diversity and difference. I’m not tolerant of hate and bigotry.

    If you feel that’s hypocritical, then that’s your choice to make, however incompatible with reality that it may be.

    If you’d ever been to Derry, or had any understanding of its history, you would know why.

    I'm not going to comment on the rights and wrongs of this.

    What I will say is that I have not seen any media reports to say that West Brom are being investigated for similar, when the same had happened a few days earlier. Perhaps Mr McLean didn't complain in this instance because it was his former club, but as someone else said earlier - BFC are an easy target.

    If an English player had not worn a poppy and turned his head do you think the same songs would have been sung?

    The question was about the abuse being racist which it wasnt. It’s an oft used term used to stifle debate. Rather than find an article on the internet which supports your view why don’t you apply yourself to the question being asked.

    Hatred for those who support the enemy is disgusting ? What an odd view
    but you’re tolerant of hate and bigotry when perpetuated by the actions of people like McClean who’s right to perpetuate that bigotry you defend ??!

    If said English player had used the same justification then yes.

    Pretty sure I saw a bottle end up on the pitch as the stoke players walked away wonder if that will also be in the report.

    Your Muslim comment says all.

    Condone your views to yourself as much as you like. But when others call them as racist and bigoted, you might find they have merit to do so.

    My muslim comment was to demonstrate that young men and women are taught to hate, to oppose, to dislike and that it continues on and on despite all the work done to counter it. And whilst ever the likes of you defend their right to continue the hate then it will never end. Neither racist nor bigoted. But as usual the slurs begin from those who preach tolerance but throw insults at those with a different view. So you support the right of McClean to act as he does but condemn the acts of those who oppose him ? So McClean can have an opinion which we can’t boo, but you can insult me for expressing my opinion. There’s the hypocrisy right there flower.

    There are no slurs. Just comments that if people choose to use language that is bigoted, racist and hatred fuelled, don't be surprised if that is how you are then judged.

    And I tend to find those that stoop to attempted condescension know their position of a view isn't one of strength or reason.
