JAMES MCCLEAN HAS criticised Match of the Day for their coverage of West Brom’s 1-0 defeat to Huddersfield in the Premier League yesterday.
The Ireland midfielder chooses not to wear a poppy to mark Remembrance Sunday and as a result receives vile abuse from the stands.
McClean was a second-half substitute for the Baggies yesterday and put in a heavy challenge on Tom Ince – an incident which was highlighted by the BBC highlights programme last night.

'Launching bottles and other objects from up in the stands makes you cowards, not hard men' - McClean
JAMES MCCLEAN HAS criticised Match of the Day for their coverage of West Brom’s 1-0 defeat to Huddersfield in the Premier League yesterday.
The Ireland midfielder chooses not to wear a poppy to mark Remembrance Sunday and as a result receives vile abuse from the stands.
McClean was a second-half substitute for the Baggies yesterday and put in a heavy challenge on Tom Ince – an incident which was highlighted by the BBC highlights programme last night.
But Match of the Day failed to show footage of fans throwing objects at him and the 28-year-old vented his frustrations on social media afterwards.
He also branded the supporters who threw ‘bottles, coins and lighters’ at him as ‘cowards, not hard men.”
