James McClean's minute's silence controversy, 'inbred' rant and fury at DMs

  • James McClean faced backlash for not wearing a poppy and standing apart during a minute's silence for Remembrance Day, which he has avoided since 2012 after moving to England.

  • Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson called for the EFL to protect McClean from ongoing abuse, stating that the current measures are insufficient.
  • McClean expressed his personal views on the poppy, stating it represents a different meaning for him and he will not compromise his convictions.
