James McClean has made his feelings known about Britain’s air strikes over Syria

Not one to refrain from expressing an opinion

Not one to refrain from expressing an opinion.

As you know, Britain’s parliament passed a vote on the matter by 397 votes to 223, and the first military action was launched within a matter of hours.

It was met with criticism from many although most footballers haven’t expressed their views in public but the West Brom winger has had his say.

The former Derry City winger scored his first goal for The Baggies in their 1-1 draw with Spurs at the weekend but prior to the match he called on the public to mourn the lives of the innocent Syrians likely to be impacted by the strikes.

McClean is rarely afraid to make his feelings known about issues and here’s what he had to say.
