Subsituted at half-time on his West Brom debut on Monday night, James McClean should be more concerned about convincing The Hawthorns faithful than the provocative comments of Sky Sports broadcaster Alan Parry. Even so, Parry’s remarks about McClean’s roots left a whiff of jingoism drifting over the Black Country after the game. Shortly before he was taken off, with West Brom 2-0 down to Manchester City, Parry referred to the 26-year-old left winger as ‘the Northern Ireland man from Londonderry’. It looked pointed as no other player, on either side, had their country and city of birth name-checked by Parry in the same way.West Brom midfielder James McClean brought off at half-time on debutThe Baggies were two goals down before going on to lose 3-0 in openerSky Sports commentator Alan Parry accused of provocative comments about McClean, referring to him as 'the Northern Ireland man'McClean involved in a series of past controversies including refusing to wear Remembrance poppy and facing away from British flag
