How effing predictable. You’ve been going this thread ever since he arrived. One day agenda monkey you’ll be right. Despite him proving you wrong for nearly a decade How are you Mrs crouch? Hes wank. Apart from his 1st season at stoke where he was ok, hes always been wank. Today was merely a new low, even by his wretched standards Wrong again!

22 goals in 42 games for England. Better than Shearer or Owens ratio. 100 premier league goals. Two champions league finals. Two world cups. FA cup winners medal. Wretched? Think that describes you who I suspect is as short of physical stature as you are of football knowledge. A Pygmy

No agenda monkey junior. Anyone sensible knows he’s probably coming to the end. Hardly the worst culprit today though. Was Afobe any better? But of course that doesn’t fit the agenda does it? You are just a one trick pony son And you aren’t!!??? Classic

He was awful today against a terrible team that will get relegated. No shots no headers no movement and no work rate. Fair play to Berahino he never stopped working. I actually thought all round it was a terrible performance against an awful team

Sorry but this is all about anticipation. Any forward worthy of the name whether they’re in behind men or target men should have it.
You have to be on the end of balls into the six yard box. Tom ExaRds has put great balls in to the invisible men.
It’s not about Rowett it’s not about tactics. It’s straightforward bascic forward play.
If the balls crossed he should be in their.
Waiting for the perfect threaded through ball all day and throwing up our hands up when it doesn’t arrive is pathetic.
Thanks n most teams now you’ll be waiting a long long time. And that tactic is sussed. You just defend deep . Easy.
Crosses into the six yard box are hard to defend.
Afobe needs to adapt or die

Crosses were flashing across the box. Any striker worth his salt has to be on the end of them Rowett was on the radio earlier justifying the inclusion of McClean. "We thought we could get joy from having him cut in and hanging crosses to the back post" So why was he flashing them across the box? Looking at Afobe's positioning it looks like he was listening and the others weren't. Oh please. He should just be in the effing box

Again great balls into the box. Great service for a forward with any anticipation. He has none and nor does Berahino. They're never in the box at the right time. And again Rowett why leave the subs so late? We will not win games like this. We simply won't.

I never sang any songs and nor would I. That's true for most people. See my earlier post - he can't defend himself against no-nothing idiots singing songs about a struggle they're not part of by quoting IRA members. Instead of focusing attention on the people responsible, he's dragged the IRA into this issue and alienated people like me who have supported his stance. He can now fuck off and the sooner the better. How has he glorified the IRA? We brought the IRA into it by singing the songs? What did he do other than quote Bobby Sands about being a proud Irish man? That's Bobby Sands the convicted terrorist? Mclean's been playing dog whistle politics with this from the get-go. His twitter feed is full of likes from people who think it is cool to ponce around in balaclavas at football matches and scream anti-English slurs. He is all about raising his status among this fan-base. Uploaded before he joined Stoke. No wonder there's blow-back Get him out. Now!

Yesterday, as I went about my business 150 miles from the Brit, I was repeatedly called a caveman and asked if I was one the c@nts at SCFC. At times I have heard Stoke fans singing, "Fuck the pope and the IRA"; This happens rarely and usually morphs into the more regular, "Fuck the Vale..." I find the references to a religious leader in a football club's song distasteful, however over the years the office of the Pope has been used to commit atrocities around the world; in Ireland itself there are still priests and nuns who have been protected from action over child abuse claims by failure of the catholic church to act. I am not naive enough to believe that this is the reason for inclusion of the Pope in the Fuck the IRA song, however it does show that if you scratch the surface of most organisations you will find something to be offended by. James McLean has chosen to focus on a small aspect of the Poppy appeal and to protest against it. He has chosen not to express his outrage at the crimes all over the world committed by the officers of his religion. People who gave their lives for freedom are OK with James McLean's views on the poppy. James McLean claims to be OK with people taking a different stance to him, as long it seems, as they keep that opinion quiet and don't express it in his earshot. I heard no sectarian singing on Saturday. There was a very, very small reaction to Mclean's disrespectful performance during the silence; the majority of the crowd were not aware of it until after the game. McLean was booed when he entered the game; many Stoke fans were booing the substitution on footballing grounds. Berahino had played well and there were much better options on the bench than McLean. I was hoping to see Clucas get 10 minutes. Boro fans booed loudly and kept this up for all of McLean's limited involvement. When McLean walked off the pitch he gestured (bring it on style) to the away fans. This enraged a minority of them who raced to the front of the stand to hurl more abuse at McLean who seemed to slow his exit in order to stare at his abusers. The chanting of foul, abusive language at McLean was wrong (as it is when it is directed at any other team or player - I think we give Arsenal worse) but the booing whoever it comes from is merely an expression of people's disappointment in him as a player or their disagreement with his views; it is not sectarian. He repeatedly claims to respect those who disagree with him. I have never booed a Stoke City player. A football ground is an emotionally charged environment. Many fans use the match to vent their frustrations at the world in general. Many say things that they shouldn't and wouldn't anywhere else. Many just don't think for the two hours that the game fills. McLean was subjected to a barracking as he left the pitch from many of the away fans (none of our players are cheered off the pitch by the away end) and a tiny minority of home fans. He goaded the away support which could be seen as a natural reaction given the charged atmosphere of the time. After the game in the cold reality of his own private space James McLean chose to attack and insult a large section of the supporters of Stoke City. He used particularly foul language and quoted an IRA terrorist. McLean clearly has his own agenda which he seems determined to follow. He seems determined to place this agenda over the good of his employers and my football club. I believe that James McLean is a hypocrite who has brought SCFC into disrepute. I think it will be best for all concerned if he leaves the club at the earliest opportunity. Brilliant summary

I back James Mcclean in relation to his response to the anti-irish sectarian abuse. It is vile and out of order. Some of us have educated ourselves about the history of the troubles and so I can understand his position. However, I don't think this would have happened if A. he just kept a low profile and no statement had been issued B. He wasn't so fucking rubbish, a six million quid winger that looks out of his depth in the championship and can't cross a ball He brings the abuse on himself. There’s a lot of Irish Catholic’s in football who aren’t abused

So he’s not pro terrorism but he quotes a terrorist hero? One mans terrorist is the other mans freedom fighter. The IRA were an iirganised criminal gang who ran drugs and drilled the kneecaps of rival drug dealers. Even their leaders ended up disowning them

Or are you missing the point on what the poppy represents. Does the Poppy pay tribute to soldiers that died in the conflict in Northern Ireland? Why does a day of remembrance turn into a day of military promotion by the club? Its commemorating the sacrifice of ordinary men or women for fucks sake and raising money for disabled ordinary people not ‘military promtion’ Oh look the snow’s falling

If as mooted McClean quoted Bobby Sands in his Instagram statement then he really needs removing from this club. We are a football club not a political propaganda machine. He might get cult status at home for comments like that but his career here is clearly over. Breach of contract? Rowett has a tough one here now considering what he did to Bauer. pretty much spot on, his post does indeed quote Bobby Sands, i was not aware of who this person was until i read into it but to quote him and associate it with the club which he has by using the image he chose is unacceptable So he’s not pro terrorism but he quotes a terrorist hero?

The board have brought this on themselves by allowing Rowett to sign him. Sorry to say but why do most us us Stoke fans recognise issues before they arise but they don't! The board better get this one right. We should not be seen as a club being used for political views. you could equally argue that the fans have brought this on. the club is not being used to express political views by any player. McClean made it clear it was his own personal view which he was forced to do because the club decided to put a poppy on their shirt which is in fact a political act. WeRing the poppy is not political. It is a compassionate signal of gratitude to people who died defending this country from a Fascist dictator. It is a way of helping disabled people get by. McLean wouldn’t have been able to protest without those people. He’d be in a concentration camp

This might actually throw a slightly different light on the incident. A lot of people got caught out thinking the 'remembrance' had finished with the last post. A number of Boro fans started clapping and chanting and people around me started talking. There was a fair bit of confusion. Being fair to him, maybe he got caught out by that. Before we jump to further condemnation we need to understand/explore this No we don’t. No other player on the bench walked out during the silence. They all stood respectfully. He is a scummy little terrorist supporting Fenian rat who should be drummed out of our club
