I don`t think Maclean has broke the rules regarding the gym. Professional athletes are allowed, with a coach to train one to one in a gym. So he could class himself as this. He may well have broken the clubs rules, which he must of done. Not the brightest is he? It's also possible that he may have infringed EFL rules not just the club. They've done the right thing imo which is to shield the rest of the squad until it's clear what happened. If he didn't do anything untoward the club exercised appropriate caution and should be applauded for doing so in a sensible and fair way for all parties.

He’s just added a bit of a cryptic new post on Instagram. “Remember. We all tell the version of the story that makes US look good” http://instagr.am/p/CKCvRIwhOXt Like his football, this is extremely average.

Stoke statement read: “We can confirm James McClean has been suspended with immediate effect pending a disciplinary hearing into an alleged breach of Covid-19 regulations, namely training in a private gym.“ As a result of the suspension, McClean will not be available for selection for Saturday’s game against Blackburn Rovers.” The Club have acted swiftly and entirely correctly so further enquiries can be made and the full facts established. We need to await the outcome of that hearing! Hopefully it can be viewed as gross misconduct and we can terminate his contract.

Would this be the first case of a pro player having their contract terminated for engaging in extra training? Will make for a good pub quiz question in 5 or so years that

As much as I want him gone from this club Thing is with its is that it sets a precedent, say Tyrese Campbell does it, should we fuck him off? Comparisons to the Derby crash keogh incident.

Jesus, the way some people are reacting you would think he'd killed someone. These rules are ludicrous and the predictable reaction of the anti-McClean brigade is almost comical. The guy has done NOTHING wrong in my view. But he has though. Hence the club suspending him.

He, like everyone else in the country cant train at a gym can they ... He brings the club into disrepute by breaking covid rules and then posting on social media - The thick cunt. He's far more interested in being a boxer than playing football anyway. Then posts a bitchy instgram post about his employers who pay him £30k a week . Abysmal footballer , abysmal person . Just fuck off McClean Hardly an abysmal person is he and you can't make that kind of conclusion about someone's character when you get a tiny snap shot of their lives. I've seen and heard numerous people say positive things about his personality/character. Plus there have never ever been complaints about him disrupting the team or being a negative influence on the team. The manager has only ever had good things to say about him. The players seem to like him. It's evident especially on here that people had a pre-conceived perception of him before he arrived solely due to his political stance, which he is perfectly entitled to. What exactly has he done that makes him so abysmal when he has been at Stoke? Not wearing a poppy, completely irrelevant. Cupping his ear? Get a grip. Calling a section of the Stoke fans cave men? Can you blame him after his own supporters are abusing him over something they don't understand/can't be arsed to look into? Watch the video of the QPR fans abusing him at Loftus Road, they are fucking cavemen and the people abusing him at Stoke are as well. I'm not defending the breach of rules, or his previous Instagram post, but that just makes him look thick and lacking common sense, not an abysmal person. He's been caught, and punished and rightly so. For me, regardless of his footballing ability, has only ever given 100% in a Stoke shirt and doesn't deserve the personal abuse he gets on here and at games. Well said

You make a good point, but I'm going to let the lynch move off this time. I said it at the time of his signing and I'll say it again, James Mcclean isn't anywhere near good enough a footballer to allow him to get away with all the shit that surrounds him. The quicker he is out of our club, the better for everyone concerned. Just forget him being POTS last year then? No. Means fuck all. He was "arguably" the best of a pretty shit bunch. Personally, I think he deserved to win it though but my point still stands.

McClean has his limitations as a footballer but always puts in a hard shift whenever he plays.
I like him for his work ethic but I especially like him for his ability to make the red, white and blue puss explode from the heads of the Poppy worshiping, St George flag wearing, war fettishing no surrender singing gobshites that infest our and every other clubs support.

The Moral Maze of Football Think it's more the moral face of football than a maze, mate! Not a chance in the world Campbell (and a couple of the others) would have faced such draconian punishment. He's on his way out and the club have started kicking at the door. Always been the same and happens at every club.

Whatever anyone thinks about his ability as a footballer, his work rate, political views or whatever else is irrelevant. We are in the middle of a pandemic, the country is in lockdown and McClean is clearly breaking the rules and posting it to tens of thousands of followers on social media. I have a sister working as an ITU nurse who is on the verge of a breakdown and ive lost two relatives to covid and its the people who think they dont have to follow the rules who are to blame. I know McClean does get a lot of abuse and some people can't wait to have a pop at him but those of you kissing his arse can be just as bad. There is no excuse for this.

He should sign up on here, and bring Vokes and Ince with him, it would be a good test of his temper.

I know McClean does get a lot of abuse and some people can't wait to have a pop at him but those of you kissing his arse can be just as bad. There is no excuse for this. Yes - this has exactly been my pet peeve here in the US. I've recovered from it, I know several people who have died from it, a neighbor is in the hospital fighting for his life from it and I know health-care workers who are nearly at their breaking point. We are nearly out of hospital beds and the situation is worse than when this all started. These idiot "no maskers" who have read some internet-conspiracy theory, or who are just to selfish to put themselves in any discomfort by wearing a mask are why this pandemic is still going on at record-levels in my location. Add to that, some people don't want to follow the protocols like Mr. McClean here. I'm not a McClean "Boo Boy" but he's endangering the rest of the club and society in general. We finally get some decent new signings, getting some people back from injury and he goes and does this. There is no excuse and never will be.

All a big fuss over nothing really. Even if McClean had covid whilst playing, how often does he actually successfully pass anything on the pitch anyway?
He'd be the first person in medical history to be stood next to a player and still transmit covid straight out for a throw in
