Didn't see it today so can't comment on the MacClean incident, but what I WOULD say is not to judge without seeing/hearing the full story.
Some people seem to be very keen to criticise the guy whatever he does.
Personally I don't see anything wrong with a bit of fist pumping - at least it shows some passion and desire - as long as it's not done in a completely over -the-top fashion

Nothing wrong with fist pumping
But when done to traveling fans who yes had give him grief all game, he is still wrong because he knows it would cause a reaction,
So the Sunderland fans stepped in,Sunderland players stepped in, Sky sports steps in. brings the name of the club into disrepute and the FA who now dislike Pullis for being a Mourinho arse licker will no doubt jump on us.
Not the sharpest tool in the box as Pullis called him after the game ........

Yeah, I missed the McLean thing so am reserving judgement. From what's been described to me, it's the kind of thing which wouldn't have raised an eyebrow twenty-odd years ago, and there seems to be a whole load of precious Mackems who can dish it out but can't take it back.

Just looked at the Sky video of the end incident, and if Danny Graham doesn't get some sort of punishment it's a joke - of course it'll be all about MacLean tho

First game at The Hawthorns this year. Awful first half but certainly better second half.
I could understand Rondon being taken off but Lambert has NO pace at all. The only thing he is currently good for is receiving and knocking down a pass. I just don't get his value!
Rondon needs to score pretty soon. But to be fair to him, how will that happen. I doubt more than one cross from the wing, left or right, actually stayed in play!! What do they do in training all week?
Plus if you are not being pressed at all surely a 'strike at goal' should stay low enough to at least treated the crowd behind the goal. It is the Rugby World Cup but these players get paid £30k plus a week to practice kicking a ball.

3pts though. 12 place. There are loads of clubs in the Premier League,Championship and Division One that would swap places and drop pretty football.

Utter dross once again and it'll be interesting to see how Sky can get 40 minutes of highlights out of that......in fact it'll be a challenge for MOTD to find 40 seconds of highlights. The only entertainment came from the Sunderland fans after the whistle. What did they expect after giving McLean dog's abuse for 93 minutes?
