West Brom fan comes up with 'God save James McClean' chant

James McClean pictured with his West Brom team mates during the playing of the National Anthem.

West Brom winger James McClean has received significant backlash after refusing to acknowledge the English national anthem before a friendly against United States side Charleston Battery.

The Irish international turned away from the flags and bowed his head for the duration of the anthem and also opted against wearing a remembrance poppy as it would "be a gesture of disrespect for the innocent people who lost their lives in the Troubles", drew a strong reaction on social media for the gesture.

McClean played the entire 90 minute game and was named man of the match by the club's website.

One Baggies fan took the controversy as an opportunity to create a new chant for the Ireland player, and we have a feeling it might catch on:

Telegraph putting a disgraceful spin on it by cherrypicking one twitter account

Telegraph putting a disgraceful spin on it by cherrypicking one twitter account

to be fair to the tele, they do usually rip the back outta him after he called it a bitter and sectarian paper

I dont know how he gets so much media coverage for this/ his poppy stance etc, and yet nothing over his twitter post with him wearing the lilly on his wigan track top. How that didnt make the news I dont know

[plumbGER 24,518]

I hope he gets a bullet through his brain one day.

That would bd too good for him,cancer would be better suited

[EastEnclosureBear 2,923]

Get over it, fucking idiot.

[NixonRFC 1,345]

fucking hell man

[Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,696]

fucking hell man

I know way to soft

[cr3_bear 14,892]

He's a provo loving bastard, fuck him , hope a career ending injury comes his way soon. Wanker

[gsa 3,906]

Sign of the times that he'l get away with that and still swagger about like he's some sort of freedom fighter.

In the 80's opposition right backs (and fans) would be waiting to teach him a lesson.

He's a silly, brainless little boy who is too dull to even realise he's showing himself up for being a hypocritical fool.

@BBCSport: "He's got to turn towards the flag like everybody else"

West Brom speak to winger over anthem http://t.co/Xd1elMXkMAhttp://t.co/hSg6RKeR8h

pathetic

[lancedeangers1 287]

Put him in a meat grinder and then feed him to British piggies...

[TexasGers 96]

Wow...

If something like this happened over here, it would practically be a national scandal. Can't imagine he'll be too popular with other team's supporters going forward!

[stourloyal 92]

Looks like he has quite a few sympathisers in their fan base. Hope we never have to play them.

I've said it on here before, west brom fans are scum.

That's the problem here TG. If you live in Britain and hate Britain then you're a modern day hero. If you live in Britain and love Britain then you're a racist

Apparently he was having a heated Twitter conversation with Rob Kiernan but could only find the tweets from McClean, nothing from Kiernan.

When did this conversation actually happen? Seen someone mentioning it the other day but I couldn't find anything.

Not sure, was hoping someone here could enlighten me. I seen McClean's tweets about saying Kiernan was a Tim but nothing about Kiernan's reply.

Johnathan Liew from the Telegraph points out as usual it's the big bad Rangers supporters that are to blame,read the quote below.

Are we obliged to lynch him, or can we just put him on a plane home? Instead, McClean’s lack of reverence is singled out, largely by the same people who thought Gazza pretending to play the flute during the Old Firm derby was absolutely hilarious.(wasn't during an old firm game btw )

The quote above just shows how the poison from the media up here has even spread south.

[bluedylan 11,555]

Brian Reade of the the Daily Mirror backs him ,of course Reade is a Liverpudlian from Irish catholic stock,fuck these people know how to circle the wagons.

[cr3_bear 14,892]

Anybody getting the story on Facebook of Kirk broadfoot gettin a 10 match ban for shouting anti-IRA abuse at this prick haha

[G.E.C. 18,811]

Getting pelters from the City fans.

Commentator also called him a Northern Irishman from Londonderry.
