VIDEO: Disappointed Tony Pulis confirms that James McClean will be “punished in-house”

Cracking the whip

Tony Pulis isn’t happy.

He’s grown to love James McClean like many a manager and many a supporter learns to do but, now, he has to do without him and it’s over the head of a “disappointing” challenge.

The Republic of Ireland winger was sent off with a straight red during West Brom’s defeat to Bournemouth at the weekend and it even sparked international boss Martin O’Neill to tell a hilarious tale of the time even Roy Keane had to tell him to be careful.

The Derry man received widespread adulation on Tuesday for yet another generous act of local charity but, in playing terms, his club manager wants him to cool it.

Pulis insisted that both McClean and his fellow dismissed, Salomon Rondon, will face action from the club to avoid a repeat of what happened.
