It’s a sensitive issue.
James McClean played 45 minutes of West Brom’s Premier League opener against Manchester City this evening.
It wasn’t very memorable for the Derry man as he barely got a touch of the ball and he was booed by City fans and reportedly his own supporters.
The game is live on Sky Sports and their commentator Alan Parry upset a lot of people by saying McClean is from Londonderry and not just Derry.
Let's get it clear Sky Sports. James McClean is an Irishman from Derry, not Londonderry…

James McClean will hunt that commentator down for saying he's from Londonderry.

Alan Parry calling James Mcclean the northern Irishman from Londonderry, wonder if he'll call sterling the Jamaican from Kingston.

Not sure James McLean will appreciate being called a "Northern Irish midfielder from Londonderry".

McClean will no doubt have his say over being called Norn Irish from Londonderry, but he should be more worried about being subbed. Muck.
