If both my parents were English but I was born whilst they lived in, say, China, for work. Would I be Chinese? I'd class myself as English.As it is both my parents are from Doncaster. McCall's parents are Scottish, he grew up in Leeds but considers himself a Scotsman I can only presume, due to his international allegiance as a player and a coach. So in this instance I'd say he's Scottish!RA, Going going temporary off topic but you raise a valid question that I personally have. I am obviously English, but my wife is Filipino and our son was born in Bahrain and holds a Bahraini birth certificate. So what nationality is he?

I am obviously English, but my wife is Filipino and our son was born in Bahrain and holds a Bahraini birth certificate. So what nationality is he? I suppose it's up to him (if and when he's old enough). Will he be entitled to either an English or Filipino passport as well?Yes he is eligible for both. But even though I am British and it therefore qualifies my son as British. Getting him a British passport that he is entitled to was a nightmare. I had to jump through hoops of fire. Even though the passport office acknowledged he was entitled the paperwork itvwas horrendous. Would have been easier if we jumped a fence at Calais and ran through the tunnel.
To be honest, I've lost all interest now and almost all enthusiasm for the new season thanks to how the bd are drawing this out.
Looking at the votes cast on this poll, it would seem that if McCann gets the job he will more than likely get plenty of stick if results aren’t good.
